We need to change to black and white jumper to get a free. 

 

2 things (under 12 sort of stuff);

 

- make it look like you’re trying to get rid

of the ball in a tackle, even if you’re not

- when you take a mark or free kick, get back far enough so you can kick the ball easily over the man on the mark’s head.

let 10 HtB ho that would've been called 10 days ago

Then ping Harmes

Total Bu.... S4It

Absolutely.

Jackson looking good for a 3rd gamer


Holding the ball only applies to one side it seems.

Weid had been good apart from goal kicking

Absolutely.  He's beaten Andrews a few times already.  Just needs to kick the goals, but very happy with his output so far.

Jetta looks concussed, hope it's not that and it's minor.

We started poorly but settled and our defence of the ground improved. They've only scored from a turnover and a free, we're otherwise doing well to limit their scoring.

Up the other end we're doing a lot right but Weid's two misses are frustrating. He should have 2 goals and we should be 1-2 goals up.

Weid, Jackson, Hannan and Melksham all looking dangerous. Jones looks a step off the pace, hope he picks that up soon.

Embarrassing wasn't it?

How many decades have they got this wrong. It’s embarrassing and frankly it’s a little bit racist. 


What’s wrong with Jetta?

Went off down the race.

He is attacks it and can follow up if he doesn't clunk it.

Jones looks like a deep depth VFL player.

Brisbane is very flash in the pan. Put a body on them and the link is broken. Extremely beatable.

Also there was a blatant HTB in our forward pocket where Neale/Rayner (can't recall who) was spun in a tackle and threw it out.

When those aren't paid, and then the Harmes one is paid, it gets frustrating.


Our forwards are working hard, just need to capitalise.

Mids doing a good jobs. Oliver's kicking is nearly costing us.

Cmon boys! We got this.

Would love to get a goal in a manner other than off-the-ground-in-the-middle-of-the-goalsquare style, but I'll take being level right now.

Weideman and Oscar McDonald giving us a great deal of structure. Weid needs to figure out how to kick a ball straight when it's dewey.

Jackson will be some player. I thought he would show nothing this year, but the fact that he's doing everything he's doing with so few games and so far off his ideal body shape gives me a lot of faith he'll be an amazing, one-of-a-kind type player over the journey. A true "every position" player.

That white goalpost looks racist to me

I was yelling at my screen and scared my daughter with that one in our pocket.  Then Harmes gets pinged and it's all over.

Both teams had chances and both would feel like they could’ve got better reward for opportunities. 

Weid is taking grabs which is a plus but bugger me that miss was god awful. I hope there’s someone giving him pointers on what he’s doing wrong. Can’t be coughing up opportunities like that. 

Clayton’s kicking is becoming a liability. Twice he butchered it to give them an inside 50. 


Anticipating an "honourable loss" here. They have too many players who make you pay when the mistakes come - and we still make plenty of mistakes.

Still, can't question endeavour, and setting up well.

 

Also. Trac's vision is the best I have ever seen from a Melbourne player, bar none.

  • REPORT: Brisbane

    “Max Gawn has been the heart and soul of the Dees for years now, but this recent recovery from a terrible start has been driven by him. He was everywhere again, and with the game in the balance, he took several key marks to keep the ball in the Dees forward half.” - The Monday Knee Jerk Reaction: Round Ten Of course, it wasn’t the efforts of one man that caused this monumental upset, but rather the work of the coach and his assistants and the other 22 players who took the ground, notably the likes of Jake Melksham, Christian Petracca, Clayton Oliver and Kozzie Pickett but Max has been magnificent in taking ownership of his team and its welfare under the fire of a calamitous 0-5 start to the season. On Sunday, he provided the leadership that was needed to face up to the reigning premier and top of the ladder Brisbane Lions on their home turf and to prevail after a slow start, during which the hosts led by as much as 24 points in the second quarter. Titus O’Reily is normally comedic in his descriptions of the football but this time, he was being deadly serious. The Demons have come from a long way back and, although they still sit in the bottom third of the AFL pack, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel as they look to drive home the momentum inspired in the past four or five weeks by Max the Magnificent who was under such great pressure in those dark, early days of the season.

  • CASEY: Southport

    The Southport Sharks came to Casey. They saw and they conquered a team with 16 AFL-listed players who, for the most part, wasted their time on the ground and failed to earn their keep. For the first half, the Sharks were kept in the game by the Demons’ poor use of the football, it’s disposal getting worse the closer the team got to its own goal and moreover, it got worse as the game progressed. Make no mistake, Casey was far and away the better team in the first half, it was winning the ruck duels through Tom Campbell’s solid performance but it was the scoreboard that told the story.

  • 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?
