It is purely the disposal. We get it and turn it over.

We are the worst skilled side in the AFL by a mile. 

 

Both teams have had horrible skills, Saints have smashed us in the clearances, and that's where we need to start to turn things around.

Yes and no. Yes disposal is crap but we’re not really setting up fr easy movement of the ball either. Everything looks hard. We’re SO [censored] ... structures, skills. So hard to believe we’re back here again so fast.

Schoolboy errors at this level is just embarrassing. I doubt we'll win if this awful brand of footy continues. Absolute shizenhouse

The more I watch us this year, the more I think that it's not the injuries and the interrupted pre-seasons, or the 6-6-6 that has caught us out. It's the lack of having a runner out there the whole time. The collective footy IQ of this team is about Auskick level and without an onfield coach (ie. Runner) we're literally clueless out there. We are a joke.

Oliver can’t handle a tag and he’s clueless as a forward.

Gee we are lucky to still be in front. 

Why hasn't maxy just stuck his knee up into this young kid? Show him who is the boss

They have shut down Oliver completely. Our midfield need to regroup. 

Its a shame we didn't try this Lewis experiment earlier. I don't mind it. 

3rd quarter will be interesting.

Getting wacked at the stoppages and on the outside.  Nothing new here as we send too many to the contest and don't maintain outliers for the receive.

Forward line cactus ... inside 50 efficiency 45% to a whopping 63%.  Marks inside 50 .... 3 to 10!  To be expected given no T-Mac but we have the worst worst forward list (or equal with GCS).

If we dont address the forward line flop we are toast again in 2020.  Takes pressure off defenders/mids allowing them to recover a little and set up behind the ball meaning a more effective wall/press and more repeat entries.

Also are we still playing a spare behind the press?? I cant tell on the tele.  If not why not??

    REDLEG PRIDE by Meggs

    Hump day mid-week footy at the Redlegs home ground is a great opportunity to build on our recent improved competitiveness playing in the red and blue.   The jumper has a few other colours this week with the rainbow Pride flag flying this round to celebrate people from all walks of life coming together, being accepted. AFLW has been a benchmark when it comes to inclusivity and a safe workplace.  The team will run out in a specially designed guernsey for this game and also the following week

    REDEEMING by Meggs

    It was such a balmy spring evening for this mid-week BNCA Pink Lady match at our favourite venue Ikon Park between two teams that had not won a game since round one.   After last week’s insipid bombing, the DeeArmy banner correctly deemanded that our players ‘go in hard, go in strong, go in fighting’, and girl they sure did!   The first quarter goals by Alyssa Bannan and Alyssia Pisano were simply stunning, and it was 4 goals to nil by half-time.   Kudos to Mick Stinear.

    REDEEM by Meggs

    How will Mick Stinear and his dwindling list of fit and available Demons respond to last week’s 65-point capitulation to the Bombers, the team’s biggest loss in history?   As a minimum he will expect genuine effort from all of his players when Melbourne takes on the GWS Giants at Ikon Park this Thursday.  Happily, the ground remains a favourite Melbourne venue of players and spectators alike and will provide an opportunity for the Demons to redeem themselves. Injuries to star play

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm
