Hawks are very gettable today. If we can just tidy up our deplorable skills.

 

The difference between Spargo and Garlett? Spargo straightens up and has a shot, or looks for a teammate in a high % position.

Garlett goes for the checkside low % kick. And sprays it.

The other thing I don’t see is the physicality from last years final, we look scared of hitting them hard.

Tracc 2 touches.... 

 

Garlett needs an old fashioned dragging. This is an astonishingly bad career ending game from him. 

I said it at the start of last season and I’ll say it again, Jeffy is done. Selfish, lazy and shocking decision making.


It feels like we are literally fumbling everything. And yet we are still in the game.

Tmac can’t take a mark to save himself.

half the players on the field have 5 touches or less, it's been 1 quarter. ?‍♂️

 

Fritters accuracy by foot has dropped off this year too

Get Fritch off, seriously. Has been shocking today.


Time to drag Fritsch ...turnover king first half

Get Fritsch off the ground.

Fristchs kicking this year is amongst the worst I’ve ever seen. His kicking skills used to be his strength!


Why kick it to him outside the boundary...keep it inside and make him mark it there!???

Mcdonald Garlett and Fritsch are making absolute fools of themselves. Embarrassing. ALmost a parody

He is 1 of 4 players with 2 or less touches.... 


Oscar ffs. 

Jones & Lockhart have been good.  Harmes starting to come into it.  Some nice outlet short passes from Lewis on the kick ins to open up the field.

 

Sideways. Back. Sideways. Back. Sideways. Turnover.

We are back to the days of being excruciating to watch.

  • REPORT: Hawthorn

    There was a time during the current Melbourne cycle that goes back to before the premiership when the club was the toughest to beat in the fourth quarter. The Demons were not only hard to beat at any time but it was virtually impossible to get the better them when scores were close at three quarter time. It was only three or four years ago but they were fit, strong and resilient in body and mind. Sadly, those days are over. This has been the case since the club fell off its pedestal about 12 months ago after it beat Geelong and then lost to Carlton. In both instances, Melbourne put together strong, stirring final quarters, one that resulted in victory, the other, in defeat. Since then, the drop off has been dramatic to the point where it can neither pull off victory in close matches, nor can it even go down in defeat  gallantly.

  • CASEY: Footscray

    At twenty-four minutes into the third term of the game between the Casey Demons and Footscray VFL at Whitten Oval, the visitors were coasting. They were winning all over the ground, had the ascendancy in the ruck battles and held a 26 point lead on a day perfect for football. What could go wrong? Everything. The Bulldogs moved into overdrive in the last five minutes of the term and booted three straight goals to reduce the margin to a highly retrievable eight points at the last break. Bouyed by that effort, their confidence was on a high level during the interval and they ran all over the despondent Demons and kicked another five goals to lead by a comfortable margin of four goals deep into the final term before Paddy Cross kicked a couple of too late goals for a despondent Casey. A testament to their lack of pressure in the latter stages of the game was the fact that Footscray’s last ten scoring shots were nine goals and one rushed behind. Things might have been different for the Demons who went into the game after last week’s bye with 12 AFL listed players. Blake Howes was held over for the AFL game but two others, Jack Billings and Taj Woewodin (not officially listed as injured) were also missing and they could have been handy at the end. Another mystery of the current VFL system.

  • 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?

    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.
