Right now the Hogan May deal looks very ordinary we don't have the talent of either.

    Personally i'd consider playing Trac out of the square and make him a leading forward. Tell him his job is to kick goals and give him the license to go for it.

    Too slow for that job he would not get away from the defenders and he is a poor kick for goal.

    agreed. As far from the goals st possible. I'd put him centre square to touch the ball a bit more

    Unless he can run and find space and his team mates can kick the pill on to his chest, with bullet like precision, CP would be completely smothered and left standing on the rebound.

    Yep !!!!

    Trac is something of an opportunist player.

    There's an art to being a lead up forward. He doesn't strike me as it.

    Even than, he's be too slow with bullet passes as he would have 6'-3"  or 6'-4"  reaching past him defenders to punch clear. and again once ball is on the ground he is still too slow on his feet

    His hands are quite good, so IMo, he should be rotating in the middle with Oli.

    Absolute twaddle, don't know which bit some on here don't get, we have a team of 22 that has put in two poor performances, one where the midfield failed and were duly criticised,  the other where the midfield started to get it together but the team connection was horrible

    We have players stuttering to find match day form, not from an injury point of view but pure and simple form

     

     

    Are you still denying we had a horrible preseason? You said all summer that our injuries and surgeries were of no concern, despite half team being in rehab.

    0-3, bottom of the ladder, terrible percentage, dysfunctional all over the ground.

    What an insipid performance, from a club that has done nothing for almost 20 yrs. I knew this would happen when they inflated their egos in the off season. Let's evaluate last night's team.

    Jones- done nothing this yr , runs one way poor disposal

    Viney- underdone no mongrel

    TMac- out of form can't get near it

    Max- improving

    Melk-- big head needs to stick to the basics

    Oliver- down last night needs to hit the scoreboard.

    Petrracca - bighead needs to stick to the basics

    Brayshaw- great player only runs one way

    Oscar- CASEY

    ANB- fringe player loved by coach.

    Hunt- Wingman likely peaked

    FROST- Casey 2nds

    Weids- improving slowly.

    C Wagner- fringe

    J Wagner-fringe

    Nev- hindered by our ridiculous zone defence needs one on one

    Lockhart- to early to say

    KK- Not fit looks lost.

    Salem- doing his best.

    Harmes- doing his best

    Fritz - improving played out of position

    Hibberd- not enough run looks out of form.

     

    The same defensive issues were around last year. We were scored heavily against by good kicking teams who kick through that defensive zone or that's what they call it.  Surely we couldn't be worse one in one like the Swans, Afterall as soon as they get it they just bash it fwd like we do.

    Our fwd line, just a clogged up mess of players competing for the same ball.

    Last night reminds me of 2013, letting a team kick more than four goals in the first quarter is just unacceptable?

    Gutless performance what team do we play into form this week.

    Disgusted

    What we want and what we get are polar opposites.

    You want cups ....... That's funny in a dark way.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • POSTGAME: Geelong

      The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.

    • GAMEDAY: Geelong

      It's Game Day, and reinforcements are finally arriving for the Demons—but will it be too little, too late? They're heading down the freeway to face a Cats side returning home to their fortress after two straight losses, desperate to reignite their own season. Can the Demons breathe new life into their campaign, or will it slip even further from their grasp?
