Are the umpires scared of dustys dad? They will not pay a free against him.

 

Another goalless quarter. Yay


We arent pressing as high which is good. Yeah it might mean we have to wait for runners to get forward but it's refreshing to not see opposition walking into open goals all the time.

    Look... we're not necessarily playing well here.  The dew is making us fumble the ball, miss targets and turn the ball over a bit.  Our forward line isn't working too well and we're allowing the Tigers just to pick the ball off at will.  In the first term we were much better when we lowered our eyes, but with the pressure up we're rushing and it shows.

    On the flip side, I feel like we're setting up better defensively and the pressure has been good.  Kudos to Goody for making some changes, both with the ins this week and the way we've set up.  We are well and truly in this game, but third terms have been our kryptonite this season.  We need to make sure we come out switched on to ensure we stick with them.

    Every player is having a dip and we look dangerous... both ways,  but still, dangerous.

    What the hell is going on with our stoppage set up?  How are we positioning no one defensive side, you don’t need every player running through.  My god some of these problem are things you coach in junior grades...

    Flood gates will open in the third I am afraid. No system at all that quarter, just hanging in there.

    Yet another goalless quarter.

    We will throw this game away.

    Just now, The Stigga said:

    Weideman can go to Collingwood

    And watch him kick a hell of a lot more goals for them than he does for us. 3 things are at play here before he can be blamed:

    - kicking inside 50 is appalling

    - the rules that apply to us don’t apply to the opposition. They are allowed to block our players from leading up, smack our players around the head indiscriminately and hold them constantly.

    - our structures and bomb it inside 50 approach do not suit a guy like him, that’s why Preuss has looked dangerous as he is about 200kg heavier and 3 feet taller, it does suit him.

    Cannot fault the effort so far... We are actually defending this week. Tigers are a very organised defence so we need to work the angles a bit more when entering 50... Frost is defending very well...

    Liked that Goody tried some different things to start the game. Interested to see what/if there are changes made in the second half

    Whenever we weren't playing that well last year we almost always managed to stick within a few goals and then bang we managed to turn it on for a quarter or short burst of goals, setting up the win.

    Let's hope we can produce something similar tonight. Sound lucky to only be down by 8

    If I’d been offered 8 points down at half time 90 minutes ago, I would have taken it in a heartbeat.  We’re starting to play a more familiar style of football and applying pressure that has been absent so far this year.

    We’re in the game.

    Now gotta win the game.

    Just wish Weid could grab his marks. Hes such a good set shot, but he just wont get that opportunity if he cant take a few.

    Agree 3 disposals just hanging around the forward line hoping to take a hanger. Lead up ffs

    Our forward 50 work was atrocious in that qtr. That said, we're well and truly in it, and that's not something we've been able to say this year.

    We CAN do this, and it would be sweet to take the Tigers scalp to resurrect some fire in our season.

    Effort & intent has been better. Obviously Goody has made some adjustments defensively to stem the flow. Forward line broke down that quarter whilst is looked good in the first, we were lowering the eyes & hitting targets, it was all just bombing that quarter. 

    Feels like the Neeld years, just hanging in there & at some point the opposition will kick away.

     

    Wiedeman is not worth his place in the team at the moment, back to the 2s Sam. Could be Declan's chance very soon.

    Good to see ANB back doing what he does best......stuff all.

    • GAMEDAY: Richmond

      It's Game Day on Friday night. ANZAC Eve. The big stage at the ‘G. The Demons return to the spotlight for one of our most significant nights on the football calendar, taking on the Tigers in a clash that always carries extra weight given the gravity of occasion of the commemoration of the ANZAC Spirit. Under the lights, in front of a packed house, this is where moments are made. Can the Dees rise to the occasion and deliver on the big stage, or will Richmond spoil the night? All the build-up, discussion, and in-game reactions here. Go Dees.

    • NON-MFC: Round 7

      Round 7 is here, with the ANZAC commemoration games taking centre stage. Who are you tipping this week, and which results would be most favourable for the Demons?

    • PREVIEW: Richmond

      Who would have imagined, when the season kicked off early last month, that Melbourne would emerge from the opening six weeks with wins over both Queensland powerhouses? At the time, Gold Coast and Brisbane were the competition’s early pace-setters, the flavours of the month, and the prospect of the Demons toppling both within the course of a fortnight seemed remote. Yet here they are, banking those scalps alongside home victories over two traditional Victorian rivals and building a quietly impressive resume.

      The Dees hit the big Friday night stage for the first and only time this season when they take on the Tigers under lights on ANZAC Eve at the G. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • REPORT: Brisbane

      Before Sunday, the last time the Brisbane Lions had walked onto the turf of the Melbourne Cricket Ground, they celebrated the pinnacle of the sport - an AFL premiership secured in emphatic fashion for the second consecutive year.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      From the outset, the Casey Demons lacked any spring in their steps. They were out-hustled and out-bustled and finally outplayed by the Brisbane Lions by 38 points on their home turf in perfect conditions at Casey Fields.
