A bit generous to Oliver I think, had some real brain fades with the ball in hands this week. Effort was great though.


Joeboy.. a bit hash on some

 

 

enjoy the night  !!!!

I liked Spargo's game. He sets up goals with good disposal.

Same as in the finals last year. I'd keep him in.

 

Tmac - Lost his touch...

Tommy is really struggling with his marking at the mo...has lost all confidence.

He even 2 touched a simple gimme.

Some of it is positioning but a lot of it is touch.

Tommy gets his touch back and it makes us a much more dangerous team.

Yep. Not seeing the towering overhead marks that we saw last year. He clunks them for breakfast, so something is definitely amiss at the moment.

Means we can get better. Good.

Gawn... needs a gameplan

seriously... how do you dominate in the ruck but get beaten in the midfield

Goodwin... Lift your gameplan

Spargo lowers his eyes unlike some & is a smart footballer

He is a smart footballer and used it well but he didn't get much of it & is a liability as a pressure forward.

He just can't stick a tackle, the oppo run through him & off him too easily.

How was Frost when he went to go a pick up the ball and he ran around the ball, only for the sydney player to get it first. Good God. As much as Jones' goal was important. He really owed us after being outbodied by Heeney in a vital 1 on 1 in the last quarter.

Frost had another poor game.

Turnovers, brain fades, body positioning. Every week he kills us. 

Pity nothing can be done until May and Lever are ready.

Very Harsh on Spargo. Even though he may not get large numbers, he always uses the ball intelligently and delivers the ball to our advantage.

Case in point when he was in heavy congestion, but noticed Hunt all alone 30 out in the 3rd Qtr. Most would have blazed away and kicked it long, but he lowered his eyes in a split second, resulting in a goal.

I actually saw it differently.

Yes he makes mistakes,  but I thought he did his job. He was on Buddy and forced him up the ground to get most of his possessions.

He has been far better than Oscar this season and you can't drop every key back we have, until the better blokes are ready.

ATM I see Frost still in the side, ahead of Oscar, when May and Lever are back.


harsh on Frost - I thought he did well on buddy. Was happy to let him get possessions on the wing, but didn't let him get out the back (which is how he usually kills us), and only got beaten once that I can remember (the one-handed mark) relatively close to goal.

He was also better with the ball this week than the last few.

Like Tmac, Jones, Hibberd in the second half, there were signs of an improvement in form and more confidence in the second half.

I worry that Spargo is a bit slow for a small forward and not yet strong enough to stick his tackles (not for a want of effort though), but every time he gets the ball something good happens. We need him and Melksham getting the ball forward of centre. 

Special mention to Hore. Now I wish he played against Essendon - his intercept marking brought a calmness to the backline that has been missing.

 

Not sure if you read  replies Joeboy but after a game your thread is the first thing I go to on Demonland.

Keep up the good work

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
