Another game where we dominate for periods. Misuse the ball horribly and let the opposition run off our mistakes and score. 

 

Pressure certainly dropped off in the last 6-7 minutes, but we are playing better footy than the last few weeks.  Some of the usual things are still there - the turnovers, the silly decisions - but we've also seen us play a little more consistently up to this point.

Allowing GC some easier goals, even the ones they pulled out of their rear end, hurts, but I'm happy to be in front and we should go on and win this.

    Why do our players try and take it from the oppositions hands when the ump is about to pay holding the ball!!!???

    Never wait on the umpires to pay our club a free kick.

    There should be a rule, if our midfielder have nothing on offer, hold onto the ball and draw players until there is something on offer. Just rushed players. If you're going to play chaos ball at least teach your players to hit targets and not just bomb.

    And draw the player for the overlap.  We rarely ever do this under SG now.  Used to early on in patches.

     

    Geez we look soft 

     

    Half time and we're in front, but could be playing sooo much better, they on the other hand gotten most of their goals cheaply. Clean up our act and that stops.

    Much harder said than done.


    Relax everyone. We are dominating inside 50’s and we all know that’s a great indicator of the outcome.

    I actually don't think we are. That's exactly what we have been dishing up. The opposition is just not the same quality.

    Kozzy...anyone think he has done anything to deserve a game this season? Been selected on potential and is providing little to no pressure around the forward line

    Because they don't pay it very often.

    Yes, but seriously, it's obvious the ump was about to pay it, there was the obligatory wait for 2-3 seconds that always indicates that a HTB is about to be paid. Otherwise the ump whistles a ball-up immediately

    Anyway, a small thing, but just annoying as it turns a free kick into a contested ball situation

    By periods you mean a large majority of the second quarter. Not a lot to show for our dominance. At one point GC had only 5 forward 50 entries for 2 goals. 

    Better game than the Coll Hawt v game. I reckon were doing alright. Amazing how tracs miss can turn a game around

    Melksham, Hannan and Picket in the forward line, all need to do more.

    Is he playing?

    he's being played as a forward / part time mid.  He's had one, maybe two, clean pieces of play (from mid field).  One was a lovely handball off the ground to a running Salem (i think).  Not much else and the else has been bog ordinary.

    Dirty day for Lockhart. 1 free kick against, 1one percenter, and 1 pressure act,  being his only stats.

    Its possible the one percenter and the pressure act were the same action.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

    • CASEY: Box Hill

      The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

      The Demons were sloppy all day and could not stop the run and carry of the fast moving Hawthorn as the Hawks cruised to an easy 36 point win. Is the season over yet?
