We won’t have the skill required to win this.

In the post-game last week a couple of the players made mention of what happened last year and that the players hadn't forgotten it.

 

Y didn't Harmes kick it short to Langdon in the forward 50 rather kick it to a Port 50/50

    Back to dominating inside 50s and wasting them.

    do we ever get clean entry inside 50? 

    No. 



    So much effort and energy burnt for no result, opposition rush down rick it neatly to their leading forward, goal!

    Harmes back in defence ?

    May kicks to Max from kick out every time so predicatable they get it and goal.

    harmes has gone from a regularly reliable kick to target to bombing it every time

    the zone defense is a MESS currently

    It looks that way as we are putting zero pressure on when the ball hits the deck in our forward half.

    For the zone to work, the pressure needs to be up down the ground.  It's non-existant at present.

     

    It's not looking good.  There's no spark there tonight.  They're going through the motions but the tackles are half-hearted, they're not crashing in to get the ball and disposal is loose.  We won't win this one.

    • PREGAME: Western Bulldogs

      With only 3 games to go, all against Top 8 fancies, the Demons face a daunting task as they return to the MCG when they play the Western Bulldogs. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      The Demons return to town fresh off a thumping win over the back-to-back wooden spooners, the West Coast Eagles, played in front of a sparse crowd at Marvel Stadium, the same venue that hosted last week's heartbreaking loss.

    • PREVIEW: West Coast

      It was bad enough that the Melbourne Football Club created yet another humiliating scenario inside its wretched season at Marvel Stadium last Sunday, but the final insult is that it has been commanded to return to the scene of the crime to inflict further punishment on its fans this week. Incidentally, if this match preview, of a game that promises to be one of the most unattractive fixtures in the history of the game, happens to cut out of your computer screen three quarters of the way through, it’s no coincidence. I’ll be mirroring the Demons’ lacklustre effort against St Kilda from last Sunday when they conceded the largest last quarter turnaround for victory in the history of the game.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.
