Have to agree. How come they can take the ball the full length of the ground by kicking it to each other, when we suffer a concentration lapse after one short kick.

Goody seems to have shown a bias towards a "play on and kick down the line" method IMO Dimmy.

Thats ok if you have regular marking beasts that can take advantage and/or you are usually winning the clearance from related stoppages.

At this point we arent doing the former much at all and the latter is only about even vs the opp.

The outlet kick to a pocket is 'usually' a much better option.  Even if you can't link up you are at least an extra 20 meters further away from the opp's goals down the line.

 

Frost had to punch that to thr boundary 

 

Hard to believe Richmond let Lloyd go. He’s been one of their best.


2 goal turnround from Petracca once again missing an absolute sitter of a set shot.

Bloke will never be any more than a "B" grader.

Trade.

    Gawn pushed in the back..........play on. Joke of a game.

    We wont win this ... You can see the Dogs being all over it.

    We are too busy complaining to the umpires to actually make a contest.

    Go back to when a number 2 draft pick fluffed up a simple kick for goal. Game over. 

    Learn to kick Trac. You’re a bloody forward liability!

    • PREGAME: Sydney

      Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?

      The Demons pulled off an absolute miracle at the Gabba coming from 24 points down in the 2nd Quarter to overrun the reigning premiers the Brisbane Lions winning by 11 points and keeping their season well and truly alive.

    • GAMEDAY: Brisbane

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are back on the road with a massive challenge ahead — facing the reigning premiers, the Brisbane Lions, at their Gabba fortress. The Lions are licking their wounds after a shock draw in Tasmania last week, while Melbourne’s season hangs in the balance. Can the Dees defy the odds and pull off a miracle to keep their razor thin finals hopes alive?

    • NON-MFC: Round 10

      The Sir Doug Nicholls Round kicks off in Darwin with a Top 4 clash between the Suns and the Hawks. On Friday night the Swans will be seeking to rebound from a challenging start to the season, while the Blues have the Top 8 in their sights after their sluggish start. Saturdays matches kick off with a blockbuster between the Collingwood and Kuwarna with the Magpies looking to maintain their strong form and the Crows aiming to make a statement on the road. The Power face a difficult task to revive their season against a resilient Cats side looking to make amends for their narrow loss last week. The Giants aim to reinforce their top-eight status, while the Dockers will be looking to break the travel hoodoo. The sole Saturday game is a critical matchup for both teams, as the Bulldogs strive to cemet their spot in the top six and the Bombers desperately want break into the 8. Sundays start with a bottom 3 clash between the Tigers and Kangaroos with both teams wanting to avoid the being in wooden spoon contention. The Round concludes with the Eagles still searching for their first win of the season, while the Saints look to keep their finals hopes alive with a crucial away victory. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?
