- Clarry to get more recognition (if we lose him end of year we are screwed) 

- Players need to look at cutting out the cute crap and just do the basics 

- May and Lever held up well (did some clumsy things but that happens0

- Tomlinson played really, really well (hats off to him)

- Tracc another solid game



Should be no change to the team heading into next week

Really liked Jacko in the guts and Max up forward 

 

So much for the st kilda fleet of small forwards. They are an average side.

The youngsters played very well. Some loose handpassing and wrong options at times but we have some real talent.

Must kick straighter. It will cost us if we don;t sort it out.

Good to get the win. 19 behinds is deplorable though, and letting Howard just amble back and take intercept marks is poor form. We need a forward line. Good to see Petracca lower his eyes inside 50 at times, hopefully some of the others saw that and realise that it can be done. Its basic football and we are beyond pathetic at delivering inside 50. Good signs from a lot of players (mostly those not in the forward line). Majority team effort.

Have to clean up our entries into 50 and our finishing no doubt about it.

Smashed them in close and in the center clearances.

Sign Clarry and Tracc ASAP for F sakes Dees hirarchy. Bartlett, Pert get the pair locked away.

Tommo proving the doubters wrong and living up to his contract.


Great win. Clarry, Gawny, Trac and Kosie electrifying. Kossie what a star. Bring on the Giants

Bit harsh. The man has bills to pay.

If we ever learn to hit targets - players or the scoreboard we’ll be a bloody good team... until then yuk

 

Saints look tired.. might have struggled from the bog last week..

GWS are favourites next week.. why??

Get to the MCG v the cats.

We are finally worth watching

He does lead to pockets.

most would think the pockets are a larger degree of difficulty 

bloke nailed a crucial goal...from the pocket. 
 

im satisfied. ?

While I'm thinking about it, this might be super strategic for next week, but I reckon we do a sneaky marking/kicking practice sesh this week.

GWS won't know what hit 'em.

Tomlinson did very well in the shadow of May and Lever. 

Wherever Kozzie is, the ball will follow him. He's a pure soul, he just enjoys his footy, "having fun." Love him.?

Over rated till the cows come home, flat track bullies, down hill skiers not an ounce of midfield defensive pressure amongst them.

 


We won a lot more out of the middle today - some great passages of play. Our turnovers and inaccuracy were the blight on the game. Fix those things - or at least reduce by 50% and we have the makings of a v good team. Loving the toughness this year, also.

So happy, Saints had the better of us for about 10 mins in the second but very impressed with the way we swung the momentum back.

One of Salem’s best games, he was unreal today.

Really good win, especially when we looked in big strife in the second. In the end, we really should have won by 30+.

Our setup behind the ball is first class. I just hope we don’t rely too heavily on winning the ball back in defence, we need to stay ahead of the game and what the good sides will throw at us. But bloody hell, Tomlinson, Gawn, May and Lever just set up another wall.

I'd just like to endorse all the other posters in their praise for Goodwin outcoaching Ratten.

He did coach well i only watched till half time last week some definite changes have been made.

Long may it continue, only two weeks in, keep it up Simon and the coaching team.

You forgot Salem . Huge game.

Edited by leave it to deever

Viney will be better for the run. Started like a house on fire but then looked really lethargic as the game wore on. 

Edited by Jaded

 

Good day for the Dees!

Really gutsy win for the ladies and (almost) a dominant win for the boys! If only they could kick straight! 

Salem awesome tonight! Oliver great again! Tomlinson our most reliable defender? 
Kozzie so exciting, Swallow, Rivers  and Jordon solid, Jacko getting better each week. Youngsters were good! 
Howard did to us what May and Lever did to Freo last week. 
Need Viney and Brayshaw to do more.

Need to hold marks.

Need to kick straight.

Melksham and Hibberd to come back maybe next week. Then BB and Weid. 

Could be anything this year! Opportunity is there, need to grab it. 

Tomlinson gone from average recruit to Mr. Reliable, two excellent games in a row, one of the first picked.

  • REPORT: Carlton

    I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

  • CASEY: Carlton

    The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

  • POSTGAME: Carlton

    A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
