We played an extra back due to the wind. Makes sense. Would expect normal numbers this quarter.

 

jayden hunt a good in - has kicked our entire score

    Lucky not to be 3-4 goals down. Some of our tackling has been very poor

    lets see how we go with the wind folks.   

    I look forward to us missing targets for a different reason in the second Q

    Why the hell are we kicking to Pickett in a 1 on 3?
    Why the hell do Fremantle look like they're playing with a dry ball and we aren't.
    Why the hell is Fritsch in the god damn backline, he's our highest goal scorer of the year.

    Once again, have lost it before the first bounce.

    Absolutely [censored] deplorable from the MFC.

    The old Goodwin goaless quarter. Consistent.

    I agree. Couldn’t have played much worse.

    The damning stats for me are:

    Tackles - we had 7 for the term.

    And marks - they were still able to take 29 marks in that weather.  We gave them too much time and space to switch the play and hit up the short 20-30 metre leads.  Pressure needs to lift big time.

    7 scoring shots to nothing in 15 minutes of play. I don't care what the conditions are. That's awful.

    At  least we kicked to the boundary and slowed the tempo. 

    Pickett is unfortunately a massive diver/flopper call it what you want, plays for a free every time he goes near it resulting in a turn over.

    this needs to be addressed

    Every time we go inside 50 it’s 4 to 1.

    Counted at least 3 blind bombs into our f50 that quarter.

    The most attacking play was Viney kicking it to no one and hoping Langdon could run on to it.

    Did we do that vs Swans? I know they did

    Why do 95% of hack kicks out of a contest go to the opposition? In contested footy there are always a lot of these but it seems ours never land with one of our free guys.

    Name of whatever shiraz you're guzzling pls Uncle


    I remember a game out at Waverley in the 90s. Rain. Hail. Wind. One of the ad boards on the scoreboard blew away. It was a scoring spectacle. I think we won by 30-40 points. Against Eagles I think.

    The state of the game at the moment is utterly horrid. And once again we are an indictment on this sport and league.

    When you look at the stats, we're doing okay.  We lead in clearances and contested possies.

    However, the same problem arises - when we go forward, the ball is hitting the deck, and they run it out with ease.  There were at least three times they ran it from half back to inside 50 without us touching it.  Our set up is letting us down big time.

    And let's be honest - these conditions don't suit guys like ANB, Vanders, Smith etc.  Fumbles and turnovers galore.

    Didn't know that 50% disposal efficiency was considered okay...

    Compares to 75.3% for Freo

    Really stupid players and horrible coaching. Still, three quarters left to atone!

    What was the 50 for? Was it back chat?

    Clearly mouthed off. Cost us a goal. Watching Lever make me sick.

    On the upside, we haven't 'gone missing', as we haven't turned up yet! To be fair though, there's nothing stopping us turning up, then going missing.

    Same crap each week. Season on the line and we have 4 tackles in the wet? Lead some stats but poorly coached and no PLAN! Kick it to Max on every kick in. Jeez Simon is out of his depth. Go already. Weak as [censored]. Should be game over already tbh.

      It's Game Day or has everyone given up. Maybe it is because a prime time Friday game is so rare ... double checks today is Friday ... Come on DL'ers support the team one last time for the year!

    • AFLW PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      The Demons return to Casey Fields (aka the Field of Dreams) this Saturday to host the Saints in Round 2. If you’re feeling lucky, head down the Monash for some family-friendly footy—you might even walk away a winner. The first 5,000 adults through the gate will receive an entry into the $10,000 helicopter ball drop. With Casey’s infamous wind, what could possibly go wrong? Closest ball to the pin wins. So spread the word, get down there—and good luck!

    • PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Way back in March we contemplated the possibility of a Demon resurgence after Simon Goodwin’s summer of love. Many issues at the club had seemingly been addressed, key players were returning from injury and a brand new day was about to dawn. We imagined the coach pulling a rabbit out of a hat. The team would roar up the charts, push aside every opponent and make its way to a Grand Final ending in ultimate triumph with Goody and Max holding the premiership cup aloft under a shower of red and blue ticker tape.
