What happened to the holding the ball rule?

JHK walking in the rooms. Great news. 

That non decision on Hodge was a shocker.  Picked it up, got tackled, let the ball go... nothing.  It's reflective of the umpiring so far today.

It was a serious hyper-extension, so i wouldn't be celebrating too soon. Wait until the scan before we start thanking some deity.

 

How good has Smith been?

Lewis has been very good.

He is a calm head out there for us.  He, Salem and Hibberd can give us some great run and ball use from half back.  Feels like it's taken a term and a half for them to click.

Great lead up and inside 50 by Weid. Just needs to get more of it!

And Trac nailing a set shot for the first time in forever! He's having a great game so far.

Get injured!? ?

play safe, lose form, and struggle with confidence.  

...  and injuries can happen from playing not on instinct.

 

This IS the game we should be showing our form... running into the H&A season.   And they haven't turned up to play.  Tthey've turned up, to not get out of the team.

 

Too many around here,  saying don't get injured,  hurts the players psyche.   Tthis is why we are struggling.

Yet Tracca is trying hard,  because he has a burning arrse,  from the fire put under him.

We are two points down.  But, apparently, our backline is trash, they're running rings around us and we are stinking it up completely.  Can't wait to see when we're on, we'll win games by 150 points.

Most of the comments were based on the first quarter - and warranted.  Significant improvement since then clearly.

I guess he can kick set shots. Great lead and kick Trac. 

Just about his best lead for his entire career. He is so explosive and played his entire junior career in the forward line.

I'd have him as our third 'tall' and have Smith use his athleticism to pressure the contest.

Huge tackle from Trac! This is the best game I've seen him play in a long time.

I really hope we are playing at 40%......If not we have a bit to do. 

one week out from AFL season... we've got a bit to do.


Holding the ball? Nope. I guess that rule is gone now too. 

We don't seem to have addressed our inability to lock the ball in the forward line as per last week's issues. 

Ground ball keep coming straight back out when our forwards can't clunk it.  Maybe Brisbane has dropped a lot of numbers back but it looks too easy for them.

I really dislike Rhyse Matheson....


3 guys around Cameron and no one close to him on edge of goal square. FMD

He's a soft mid with poor disposal.  Plays for frees from Duckwood's handbook

I think you're referring to Christensen there GCDee. He came out of the ducking factory of Geelong so no surprises.

Any chance of looking for a target in the forward 50 instead on just bombing it 20m out from goal?

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

    The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

  • POSTGAME: Collingwood

    Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.

    It's Game Day and the Demons face a monumental task as they take on the top-of-the-table Magpies in one of the biggest games on the Dees calendar: the King's Birthday Big Freeze MND match. Can the Demons defy the odds and claim a massive scalp to keep their finals hopes alive?
