Keilty in for weideman and stretch in for jones. We are absolute rubbish. We controlled that quarter and even lost it by a point.

    Lockhart and May good,

    Oliver , Viney  and Gawn better than last week .

    Jetta and Hibberd missing in action again.

    In line for a 40 plus point thumping.

    Other teams have improved where we have gone backwards 

    Jones Finished, ANB Gone, Petracca , Fat  and Fritsch no wonder he was dropped for PF Not intensive enough

    Oliver STAR!!

    This is typical of the game day threads I take it? I'm usually too busy watching the game but thought I'd jump on to gauge the mood. I should've known better.

    We could be 10 goals up and it would generally be the same.

    We look like a scratch team of guys who can play a bit but never have with each other. Just win the contested ball and hack it forward and hope. Unrecognisable from last year. 

    It's very hard to put a finger on it. We are uninspiring. Not terrible but closer to it than we are to looking "okay". It's like we're right near the corner to playing good football but are just as close to the corner of awful football. We're neither coming nor going at this point. We're stuck in neutral.

    Dunno how we can be even this close when, apparently, 20 of the 22 selected are pathetic, terrible and VFL standard.

    This close ???

    Funny


    Poor skill and no good small forwards again.

    That is what we are at the moment. Because we had no good form or confidence,  coming into the season.

    I have to say it.  Jones is a liability.  It has nothing to do with his skills or his body.  It's all between his ears.  He's playing stupid.  He's making idiotic decisions repeatedly and it's costing us goals. 

    I also have to take a shot at the umpires.  There have been a few absolutely disgraceful decisions in there.  The high contact free against Lockhart on Selwood when he tackled him around the waist was a particularly fine example.  The multiple clear throws by players who were clearly in the umpires' line of sight also stand out to me, in particular the one inside our 50 which should have resulted in a shot on goal. 

    And finally, why the Hell do our layers refuse to take shots?  If you get hte ball on 50, FFS TAKE THE SHOT!  Hitting up the hot spot is the same as turning around and kicking the ball towards the opposition's goal.

      Not sure they are the real problem, it’s bigger than that.

    Don’t think so.

    Most games arent played in these conditions.

    Give me a break we struggle in the heat and melt in the wet.

    Too many Drink their own bathwater!!

    Same old story...

    Geelong dominate a quarter, pile on goals like nobodies business

    We dominate a quarter, and we grind away for a further 1 point deficit

    Even last year, we had to absolutely smash teams around the ball to consistently put it on the scoreboard, we don’t have the outside game required yet.

    You make no sense far too often, 'bub.

    You infer we're still in this game

    We're not..never were

    We are not dominating hit outs and centre clearances and from there contested possessions so we are struggling. Familiar story.

    Think everyone needs to calm down 

    lot of players underdone I for one didn’t expect to win this.

    we have been pretty awful yes but we are winning clearances tackles and inside 50s.

     

     

    Yep. My expectations were not high after the preseason and last week. I think we are actually playing ok compared to last week.

    In no way do I think we are good. Just not terrible. If it was the same as last week I would be very worried for the rest of the year.

    Just hoping we can keep up the intensity.

    See you in an hour, let's see what the 2nd half brings

    We consistently win inside 50 counts but simply don’t do anything with the opportunities created 


    Looking better now

    • PREGAME: Brisbane

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Hawthorn

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.

      It’s game day and the Demons are chasing a fourth straight win as we take on the high flying Hawks at the G. After decades of being tormented by the Hawks the Dees will be keen to extend their 7 year dominance over Hawthorn.

    • NON-MFC: Round 09

      Round 9 kicks off out west with the Dockers hosting a Collingwood side resting several stars. Fremantle need to make a statement on their home deck after some disappointing form on the road, while the Magpies will be keen to maintain their Top 2 position. Friday night sees a must-win clash between two sides desperate to stay in touch with the eight. St Kilda have shown glimpses while Carlton are clinging to relevance after a flat start to the season. Saturday’s twilight game at Marvel pits the Bombers against a struggling Sydney outfit. Essendon can’t afford another close match against a lower-ranked side, while the Swans risk sliding down the ladder even further. Up in Darwin, the fourth-placed Suns will look to extend their stay in the top four. The Bulldogs have hit their stride with three big wins on the trot and will be very keen to consolidate on their momentum. The always fiery Showdown looms as pivotal for both clubs. Adelaide are eyeing a spot in the Top 4 with a win, while Port Adelaide’s season could slip away if they drop another game and fall further behind the pack. Sunday begins with a yawn fest between Richmond and West Coast. The Tigers need to bank the points to stay clear of the bottom two, while the Eagles are still chasing their first win of the year. The Giants face one of the league’s toughest road trips as they travel to GMHBA Stadium to face the Cats. With GWS at risk of a third straight loss, Geelong will be eager to consolidate their position inside the eight and start their climb up the ladder. The round wraps up with the top-of-the-table Lions heading to Ninja Stadium to take on the second-last Roos. The Lions should easily take care of the struggling Roos who might be powerless against the best in the comp. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?
