He’s being played out of position.

He needs to be played as a forward or on a wing, not in the backline.

Yep agree. The kid is very good up forward but due to injuries/form etc he has to play back. It sucks cause we need him forward. 

 

Just an ordinary team. No pace, little cohesion. Midfield runs one way. Apparently good disposers of the pill like Fritsch, Lewis, Melksham, etc can't hit a target...

    How forward and back line coach need to go, Massive question marks over Jennings, he was supposed to be the mastermind behind how we play.  Absolutely pathetic behind the ball and going forward.

    We are the better side. Just butchering it once we go forward. 

    Fix that up and we win.

    This is the Essendon game all over again. Completely dominating the ball but slaughtering it going forward and giving away easy goals on the defensive side.

    I am tearing my hair out here. The good news is that we’re dominating in the ruck still. It could be we hit another gear in the second half ala the Sydney game. We can only hope.

    swap tom with fritch that may give a bit more stability to our backline and give us a player who can handle membrey its not is if tom is doing anything up forward. and fritch can kick goals, given the running shambles of our forward line a faster fritch maybe a better option

    In their defense, 3 of the expected first picked back 6 currently aren't playing.

    True, no argument there.

    One word

    Efficiency

    We have 1/2 a game to fix our season. I shall reserve my bile until after the game.

    Chaplin the [censored] spud, get him out of the club.

    Yep backline coach   has to be accountable.   Lever and may will be handy down back but season prob gone by then.  Disappointing

    Agreed.  Tom muat go back.  Adding nothing up forward and simply getting in the way of other more mobile forwards on a lead etc.  Fritsch either to a wing or HF.  If HF then Melk out to a wing.

    1. Goodwin can't coach

    2. Spargo should never play again

    3. Tom McDonald is as bad, if not worse than Oscar

    4. WE SHOULD NOT HAVE TRADED JESSE HOGAN

    Wish you would R.I.P

    Lever and May would make no difference at the moment, we’re so far ball side of our defenders.  This is pathetic coaching/structures. The same issues for 3 years, we rectified it last year it’s happened ned again this year.

    agree season on line next 2 quarters.   If  1/4   its over     2/3  still in it


    I feel like maybe I am lucky that I can't actually see this game.

    We're less than three goals down, Demonland is erupting like bubonic pustules, the radio commentary are muttering and shaking their heads, the stats are saying we're just about the worst in history for prevent an opposition inside-50 turning into a goal, several veterans are being frankly inadequate, Jetta is sore, and a bunch of young players who not so long ago we would talk about as the completing pieces of a premiership puzzle we are now talking about dragging.

    All sounds truly horrible and almost hard to believe.

    That's the pain, right there. It is just hard to believe.

    I just hope we claw back a bit of grit and manage to get through to a win so we can keep stumbling on through this season with something still to aim for, once (hopefully) we do find form.

    If Spargo buckles his knees again drag him. 

    Agree, how he keeps getting picked is mystery to me

    Disposal is the main thing, but we are so slow. They can man up or create space on the fly. We are a yard behind very time. Massive worry.

      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?

      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?
