Goodwin should instruct May to go long down the line from kick outs. Just in case we accidentally give ourselves a chance to score.

 

Tackling poor. Decision making poor. Did not let them have easy entries to 50 but were so focussed on defending that we didn’t consider leaving some player in 50 to try and score. Let’s see what we learnt last week with the wind (granted this time in the wet.)

    The coach needs to own this performance

    Friter to the back line?

    Smith - even in the team

     

    Smith should either be in fwd line or in the 2s

     

    No comment until half time (except this one)


    Now we have the wind, let's see if we learnt anything from last week

    Stop blaming the umpires we are a poorly coached club same plan as last week everyone run back and leave the opposition loose to waltz in game should have been over in that quarter, this is just under 10's football. 

     

    Watch them do the 18 man defence and will go goaless for the half

    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. 

    i think the question is why do opposition players read the flight of the ball better than our players.

    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!

    I didn't say it was.  It's why I highlighted clearances and contested possies, which are what we build our game on.

    Neal Bullen is like an under 12s kid who just kicks it anywhere

    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.

    I remember one of those against the Hawks.  It never stopped all day and we had a solid win.  I went home soaked but happy as larry (whoever he is).

    Didn't do a very good job

    27 to 7 uncontested marks

     

    We all know how this ends

    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.

    There's a  lot of conditions Joel doesn't seem to like - dry, wet, windy, still

    Yep and I highlighted that stat because it doesn't matter if you win contests if you butcher the ball

    Anyway, let's go!

      We’re back! That was fun. The Mighty Dees’ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commanding 48-point winover the Western Bulldogs, retaining the Hampson-Hardeman Cup in style. After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

    • CASEY: Box Hill

      The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

      The final game of the 2025 Season is finally upon us and the Demons may have an opportunity to spoil the Magpies Top 4 aspirations when they face them on Friday Night. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons were sloppy all day and could not stop the run and carry of the fast moving Hawthorn as the Hawks cruised to an easy 36 point win. Is the season over yet?
