Better but the dogs have the breeze in the 3rd so we need to keep the pressure up.

May has been magnificent for us. 

Fritta bounced back with a nice goal. 

Presuss finally doing what he had to do. He is taller and much more bigger than english. He needs to dominate those ruck contests and he started to hit it in the right spots.

    We look the more dangerous side when we go forward, just need the midfield to lift, started to get going in that quarter

    Once the clearances evened up that quarter, we comfortably had their measure. Dogs have an elite midfield so have to break even in this second half. In the arcs, Melbourne is clearly superior. 

    Agreed. We need to start winning clearances. Do that and I think we will win comfortably. 
    They are killing us when they get the easy clearance because they have so much speed they always have a man out.

    We know which end is the scoring end. Smart move is to make Q3 a bog and play for the win in Q4. If we try to go head on in Q3, they will get a lead and then turn it into a bog in Q4 and we will lose.

    I think after today’s game it’s time to rest Pickett and bring in Bennell to play small forward. Pickett doesn’t give us enough. 

    His 2nd half would want to be pretty good to stay in.  Depending how they go in this 2nd half it could be Bedford for Picket and Harley for Harmes (if the FD deem him fit enough).

     

    I it is always a worry with Pickett, Spargo and Hannan in the same side. They all are very low possession players

    Spargo has offered nothing except 1 good tackle

    Umps ❌ 

    Bulldogs mids on top - losing inside contest ❌

    Spargo and Pickett not effective❌
     

    Defence ✅
    May Preuss Langdon our best ✅

    Agreed. He isn’t soft. He just can’t kick.

    Yep.

    Won't argue that he could have laid a better tackle on English in the first term, but he's had 8 kicks to go with 6 marks and a goal.  Plays his role for the team perfectly.

    I reckon TMac is playing his guts out and going OK. He was the player chasing the Bulldogs player who was penalised for running too far.

    needs to stop hitting it out wide (mostly to doggy outliers so far).... just dump it in close and let our boys do what they do best and muscle it from the inside to the out.

    time to turn up the pressure on the doggies and win this game.

     

    Kossie and Spargo, all they need to do this quarter is apply relentless pressure, keep it in the forward line

    Interesting Open Mike coming 

    My heart breaks watching him. What a monumental [censored] up, one of many, by this club.

    Which both did do in that second term.  Their pressure might not come up as stats, but they have been better as a game has gone on.

    If they can hit the scoreboard in the second half it will be a massive bonus!

    Steven May is showing why we so despately needed him. we wouldn't be in this game without him. 

    it's the opposite of our usual games, we aren't winning the contest, or inside 50's but we look really efficient and winning the game. 

    backing us in, but we need to take our chances.

    • GAMEDAY: Geelong

      It's Game Day, and reinforcements are finally arriving for the Demons—but will it be too little, too late? They're heading down the freeway to face a Cats side returning home to their fortress after two straight losses, desperate to reignite their own season. Can the Demons breathe new life into their campaign, or will it slip even further from their grasp?

    • PREVIEW: Geelong

      "It's officially time for some alarm bells. I'm concerned about the lack of impact from their best players." This comment about one of the teams contesting this Friday night’s game came earlier in the week from a so-called expert radio commentator by the name of Kane Cornes. He wasn’t referring to the Melbourne Football Club but rather, this week’s home side, Geelong.The Cats are purring along with 1 win and 2 defeats and a percentage of 126.2 (courtesy of a big win at GMHBA Stadium in Round 1 vs Fremantle) which is one win more than Melbourne and double the percentage so I guess that, in the case of the Demons, its not just alarm bells, but distress signals. But don’t rely on me. Listen to Cornes who said this week about Melbourne:- “They can’t run. If you can’t run at speed and get out of the contest then you’re in trouble.

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit.
      Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      For a brief period of time in the early afternoon of yesterday, the Casey Demons occupied top place on the Smithy’s VFL table. This was only made possible by virtue of the fact that the team was the only one in this crazy competition to have played twice and it’s 1½ wins gave it an unassailable lead on the other 20 teams, some of who had yet to play a game.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      In my all-time nightmare game, the team is so ill-disciplined that it concedes its first two goals with the courtesy of not one, but two, fifty metre penalties while opening its own scoring with four behinds in a row and losing a talented youngster with good decision-making skills and a lethal left foot kick, subbed off in the first quarter with what looks like a bad knee injury.
