Would have been at the other end. 

That’s 2 that would have gone against us, Pruess after his free was tackled and then Mundy diving in after we got that free.

As Dunstall said you can see Freo is trying to spread us wide/around the zone and we’re just lining up to go down the ground to the contest. 

I wouldn't kick inside either with a 50% DE

 

Knock it forward

Keep your feet

Kick it long

Get in space

Under 12s can do this.


Getting beat in a lot of 50/50's true to form. 19 tackles in a half of a game where the ball isn't able to flow.

About what was expected.

I know it's wet but we really do okay slot of horrible down the line for territory footy. Neeld era like

Vandenberg is a good tackler and that's about it.

In cricketing terms - 'he bats at 10 and doesn't bowl.' He is good at nothing!

 

I don’t know where to start. Fumbles, overusing it, not having players downfield to contest when we do finally clear our lines, no run in attack or defence to create or shut down easy options. Just [censored]. Our only saving grace is that Freo have kept us in it with some shocking finishing work.

We are so slow. Looks like freo have 6 more players. I guess we won the quarter.

Ps umps are atrocious. Disgraceful. Unprofessional. Bias. Putrid. Shameful maggots.


Longmuir would be spewing, Freo should be 4 goals up, make them pay for phark sake.

We are clueless in the wet.


49 marks to 14 about sums up our kicking skills

No system and no smarts

Too many inside Fumblers

No space, no hitting a target 

Why are we trying to possess and finesse so often around stoppage YEats?

Tap/punch/kick the ball forward or in any direction where you can see space and no opp....and run onto it.  Its wet weather footy.


We really need to tag Duman. He always tears us to shreds and has dominated the competition for the last decade!

And that has been different to the last 3 weeks.

And the dry,wind,heat,cloudy,humid.

 

24 goalless quarters under Goodwin, nearly a 25th. Lets hope that stat doesnt rise by end of game. We just look lifeless, an odd cameo from Viney but really we should be behind by a lot. Still a chance, but it's Freos to lose

All we are doing is going for distance with our kicks, there’s no pin point passes or run and carry.

Freo are piling on the pressure and we are playing right into their hands.

  • REPORT: West Coast

    On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

  • POSTGAME: West Coast

    Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
