We're still just bombing it. Tactic or pressure?

Seems tactic unfortunately. Hopefully we see a change in game style this year to hit more short kicks leading into 50.

    Apparently 10m kicks are only a mark if you're a crows player.

    On TV it looks like kicks are traveling a lot further to crows end. 

    Sideways or goal to goal?

    Our kicking skills need some work

    Still playing like 2019. Bad kicking can’t get ground ball. And missing 2nd quarters.

    That’s ok in Feb. as long as it is all Recorded 


    I really can’t see any change to our game. We still can’t kick and have no idea how to go inside 50.

    Some seriously questionable umpiring decisions resulting in shots at goals for the Crows.

    Maggots are back. Crow 8 metre kicks and marks “paid” in the first quarter. “Play on” for Dees in second quarter.

    Goal to goal. We had the advantage in the first quarter, but characteristically kicked inaccurately for goal. Crows are now making the most of the wind advantage, and our kicking has been atrocious.

    Only preseason, but there doesn't appear to be much change in game style visible yet. Was hoping for more accurate short kicking before pulling the trigger inside 50. I guess without a strong target up there it makes it hard. TMac has been unsighted and is our only proven big goal kicker. We need him to stay fit and stand up this year.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
