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.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      There was a time during the current Melbourne cycle that goes back to before the premiership when the club was the toughest to beat in the fourth quarter. The Demons were not only hard to beat at any time but it was virtually impossible to get the better them when scores were close at three quarter time. It was only three or four years ago but they were fit, strong and resilient in body and mind. Sadly, those days are over. This has been the case since the club fell off its pedestal about 12 months ago after it beat Geelong and then lost to Carlton. In both instances, Melbourne put together strong, stirring final quarters, one that resulted in victory, the other, in defeat. Since then, the drop off has been dramatic to the point where it can neither pull off victory in close matches, nor can it even go down in defeat  gallantly.

    • CASEY: Footscray

      At twenty-four minutes into the third term of the game between the Casey Demons and Footscray VFL at Whitten Oval, the visitors were coasting. They were winning all over the ground, had the ascendancy in the ruck battles and held a 26 point lead on a day perfect for football. What could go wrong? Everything. The Bulldogs moved into overdrive in the last five minutes of the term and booted three straight goals to reduce the margin to a highly retrievable eight points at the last break. Bouyed by that effort, their confidence was on a high level during the interval and they ran all over the despondent Demons and kicked another five goals to lead by a comfortable margin of four goals deep into the final term before Paddy Cross kicked a couple of too late goals for a despondent Casey. A testament to their lack of pressure in the latter stages of the game was the fact that Footscray’s last ten scoring shots were nine goals and one rushed behind. Things might have been different for the Demons who went into the game after last week’s bye with 12 AFL listed players. Blake Howes was held over for the AFL game but two others, Jack Billings and Taj Woewodin (not officially listed as injured) were also missing and they could have been handy at the end. Another mystery of the current VFL system.

    • PREGAME: Brisbane

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.
