Lever looking terrific. Seems to have put on some bulk too.

His first quarter was dreadful. 3 turnovers in a row. Did lift a lot in the second 

 

One thing I'm happy with is the new manning the mark rule doesn't seem to be an issue.

Originally I was annoyed as it was another rule change for the sake of it, but it has definitely increased the flow of the game.

Still dislike Hocking though....

 

What the hell is wrong with you people we are playing the premiers and are only down by 7 points.

    And one more thing - Harmes everywhere running his [censored] off - he's in our best three so far today - ignore other commentators.

    Not sure about best three, but he has been pretty good. As you say working hard and created a goal from nowhere with his effort and then good kick to Jones.

    Intersting that he is on ball.

    Really, you'd have to say if he can't get a game as a mid he doesn't have a spot given how out of sorts he looks down back.

    I can see how the rule allows for speeding up and opening up the game. My only concern is that I fear it will cost us a game at some point.

    Happy with Spargo keeping his feet, much stronger. happy with Harmes Lever and Tommy. not happy with Jones missing easy marking targets across ground. Too many observers only watching us, we aren’t too bad.

    From a very small sample, we seem to be adding an additional short link-kick with this new rule. Ie two smaller kicks to get back in the corridor instead of one slightly longer kick. I think that is smart given our turnover history 

     

    I think we can see a clear change in game plan. We are looking to go into the corridor far more than previous years. Whilst our disposal has been a bit off at times creating turnovers, it looks great when it comes off.

    If we can get a bit cleaner I think this bodes real well with our pace off the half back and wing.

    There ain't much to excited about. unfortunately. Jordon OK. Lever and May not bad. 

    Salem, Oliver and Petracca haven't  touched it. Gawn and Harmes turn it over.

    Trac and Oliver in the bounce and we win the clearance, then shot on goal. I’m truly shocked.

    We are not over using the ball and seem to be going quite direct.

    A few bombs into to forward line.

    Would like to see us change the angles as we move through the midfield.

    We are taking a few marks.

    The smalls are finding space.

    Too easy for Richmond as they come out of our forward area..

    the premiers missing four of their best side too - Rioli, Prestia, Lambert, Houli

    all injured or being rested? i know prestia has had hamstring issues this preseason, but no idea re others

    we're seven of our best 22 down - Melksham, Hibberd, Viney, Brayshaw, Brown, Weideman, Pickett

    and we're now a solitary point down after max gets a free and converts from 50


    Gawn starring today.

    Ripper mark and set shot for his second. Has taken plenty of goal saving marks too.

    Liking the look of Chandler. Held his own in a two on one, won the free kick, and nailed the pass to Fritsch in the pocket.

    If JFK had Fritsch’s hair he’d still be with us.

    Chandler is doing alright. 

    Could play round 1 based on today.

    Somewhere we’ve hit the front with a Fritta set shot.

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    • PREGAME: Richmond

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
