Discussion on recent allegations about the use of illicit drugs in football is forbidden
  • IMPORTANT: PLEASE READ BEFORE POSTING

    Posting unsubstantiated rumours on this website is strictly forbidden.

    Demonland has made the difficult decision to not permit this platform to be used to discuss & debate the off-field issues relating to the Melbourne Football Club including matters currently being litigated between the Club & former Board members, board elections, the issue of illicit drugs in footy, the culture at the club & the personal issues & allegations against some of our players & officials ...

    We do not take these issues & this decision lightly & of course we believe that these serious matters affecting the club we love & are so passionate about are worthy of discussion & debate & I wish we could provide a place where these matters can be discussed in a civil & respectful manner.

    However these discussions unfortunately invariably devolve into areas that may be defamatory, libelous, spread unsubstantiated rumours & can effect the mental health of those involved. Even discussion & debate of known facts or media reports can lead to finger pointing, blame & personal attacks.

    The repercussion is that these discussions can open this website, it’s owners & it’s users to legal action & may result in this website being forced to shutdown.

    Our moderating team are all volunteers & cannot moderate the forum 24/7 & as a consequence problematic content that contravenes our rules & standards may go unnoticed for some time before it can be removed.

    We reserve the right to delete posts that offend against our above policy & indeed, to ban posters who are repeat offenders or who breach our code of conduct.

    WE HAVE BUILT A FANTASTIC ONLINE COMMUNITY AT DEMONLAND OVER THE PAST 23 YEARS & WE WOULD LIKE TO CONTINUE TO BE ABLE TO DISCUSS THE CLUB WE LOVE & ARE SO PASSIONATE ABOUT.

    Thank you for your continued support & understanding. Go Dees.


Wanted: The Hail Mary Kick-in with 1 minute to go


TGR

Recommended Posts

Each club, no doubt, has the hail mary kick-in, that is HIGH RISK, that is put into play when a team needs to score a goal or 2 with a minute or 2 to play.  This play might be a guts-or-nuts torp or a play-on-with-block to get around the man-on-the-mark.

What I saw with 1 minute to go yesterday was pure amateur-hour.  Jordan Lewis was never going to play on.  Jordan Lewis was never going to torp it.  Sydney could put their house on his kick landing no more than 55/60 (including goal square) from their goal.  They cram this area in the guts, and we kick a short and ultimately go wide.

The game was over when he had the ball in his hands with 1 minute to go.  We were never going to threaten.  The most amateur play from a personnel/structure viewpoint I have seen at AFL level for a long time.  Unforgivable at this level.

Real leadership and brains +/- planning would have dictated that the guy kicking out could either risk playing-on for overlap and territory OR could have torped it to potentially 70 (including goal square) from their goal.

I’ll harp on this until I turn blue in the face. All of us behind the goals in the last have lost our voice at trying to get someone, anyone to go near him. At worst, by putting a body on him Heeney is moved from the square and not roasting marshmallows.

Real leadership and brains would have addressed the lack of two way running allowing the Swans to waltz the ball up the ground with chip kicks & uncontested marks. Or would maybe have pushed AVB back to the square so Allir stopped ripping us across half back. Or realising Heeney was their mop up man in the last quarter & manning him up. And so on and so on..........

Usually like your contributions Rono but this is just a pizz poor opportunistic slap at Lewis.

 But you go ahead and worry about the last minute of the game. I'm far more concerned by what happened in the 99 minutes prior

Spot on,TGR.

My mind went back to the Geelong game last minutes when Henderson sent it 60 m straight up the middle.

I’ll never  forget the last half minute of the ‘87 prelim. After our last behind, they torped it right up the centre, and ended up with Buckanara’s goal.

But perhaps we should follow “Go the Biff’s” advice, when we’re a goal down with a minute to play. Don’t try and get it down the other end, just lament the way you’ve been playing all day!

If the opposition analysis coach had done his homework, he would have picked up that Heeney going back as a loose man is quite common for Sydney. How we left him alone for so long is actually a joke. Once again Goody outcoached and slow to react.

Who do we have in the team that can do that?

Salem, the other dedicated kicker would give you the same Lewis result.

Maybe Pedders...if Hunt was fit then him.

As far as playing on and grabbing some metres?

Again Hunt if fit or Frost...with either of those who knows were it would end up.

In both scenarios it would have been Hibberd if he was there but he wasn't.

They were shot to bits and we still found away to lose the unloseable.

We refuse to man up spares in our forward line especially when we have so much momentum. 

Those last 6 minutes were so [censored] frustrating.

Is that the Henderson kick which went 40m (kicked from the top of the square) and went straight to Vince and Melksham on the RHFF only to be butchered by Vince not taking a mark. 

The OP was started by a Lewis detractor who takes one thing from Lewis's game FCS of all the things which went wrong yesterday this is not one to highlight. Watch the tape again Sydney absolutely clogged the corridor.

If I had to chose between Lewis and Jones making a decision and holding their nerve there's only 1 clear choice

Now just wait a minute. This thread is based on a falsehood , it was much longer than a minute to go. When Lewis kicked that we were 8 points behind, with 4 minutes on the clock. He kicked it to near the 50 meter arc in the direction of the point of the centre square - a good place to attack from. Gawn and Brayshaw got in each others way and messed it up. Lewis took the right option and executed his kick well.

Whether the thread is started on the basis of a falsehood or not, we clearly don't yet know what to do in the last few minutes of a game when it is close, whether we're ahead or behind. It's time we worked out what to do in each scenario.

Yes, we generally-speaking have an on-field leadership vacuum, that much I agree with. However, in this instance Lewis, made a very good decision. He set us up to have possession in a part of the ground where we had options to go down the line,  middle, or switch. Sadly, Max and Angus got in each others way and stuffed it up.

If I wanted to be opportunistic about Lewis, I would have mentioned Papley and daylight.  I haven't.

As far as the 99 minutes beforehand go, if we'd kicked straight, the 99 minutes wouldn't have been an issue.

 

This kick-in was not only about Lewis.  It is about having a green-light, hail-mary plan at the end, which every other team in the AFL and VFL would have.  These are full-time professionals FCS.  This kick-in was an indictment on Goody (who I rarely criticise) and the leadership group; including Lewis, who was the last person you would want kicking-in for a hail-mary scenario.

Nick Riewoldt on the commentary actually blamed Melbourne for sucking more Sydney opponents into the corridor and failing to set up space to run in to.  Watch the tape again.

When Lewis was about to take the kick-in, Sydney had only one guy in D50.  This left 17 guys clogging corridor.  Do you really think with the ball in Frost's hand, that Sydney would only allow one of theirs in D50?  Do the maths.  Lewis taking the kick-in with 70 seconds to go was a failure on so many levels.  Amateur hour.

It's a shame Salem was picking up Papley

Just clarify you expext Frost to take the kick in, if the answer to that is yes, however long you've been watching footy has been wasted

Any player that could have played on and broken a line OR a player that could have torped it.  In essence, Lewis is the last player that should have got the gig in that situation.

Agreed, they said it on the commentary as well. Something along the lines of "surely they know there isn't much time left" we played that last minute as if we'd already lost. 

I'm not the biggest fan of Jimmy Bartel's special comments but the whole second half he sounded baffled as to what we were doing, and it wasn't like what he was saying was anything groundbreaking but it really seemed to show that when we are down we seem to become nothing more than headless chickens.

Actually, I am. He seems to me to be the only commentator that appreciates how the game is played today. Too many of the rest seem to think the game is played the way they played it, even if that's only 5 years ago. Irrespective of any other value they bring, commentators like Matthew Richardson, Luke Darcy and even Cameron Ling have been out of the game so long that their comments show they don't understand the technical side of how the game is now played.  I find Bartel's commentary to be insightful.

Fair point, his comments regarding this game I think mainly centred around the fact that we were playing into Sydney’s hands and that when momentum went against you it was up to the leaders to wrestle that momentum back or at least into a stalemate. 

Hes truckloads better than the likes of Matthews and Walls. Matthews doesn’t get the modern game and it’s grating to here him try to rationalise it.

    DEPTH CHARGE by Whispering Jack

    The jubilation on the coach’s face as he danced a celebratory jig by the playing bench after the final siren sounded to record his team’s four-point victory over the Demons when the teams last met, said it all.    On that rainy Friday night at the Adelaide Oval, Ken Hinkley’s young midfield secured much more than four points on offer. The victory over one of the big dogs of the competition after a succession of wins over some of its lesser lights gave his team respect and validation fo

    When they locked up the rooms for summer at the end of last year’s football season, the rooms gathered cobwebs, the atmosphere became dense and the place developed a sleepy feel.

    A FORK IN THE HAWK by George on the Outer

    For too long in the past, Demon fans became habitually sick and tired of watching the Hawks hand out thrashings to their side. But Melbourne’s empahtic 55-point win at the MCG on Saturday has truly put a fork in the Hawk and turned that history well and truly on its head. The Demons have now won nine of their last ten encounters with the other result, a draw.     And like a fork, it was the multi-pronged options that Melbourne had all across the ground.  It certainly helped that Hawthorn
