And people wonder why I can't stand Harmes..

The bloke deadset thinks he's Dusty.

He’s turned into the ANB of years gone by, always present but never doing anything useful

    2 arsey swans goals from blind Melbourne handballs in the last line of defence.
    But we have to start winning it in the centre or we won't win this match.

    McDonald, Hibberd, May, Oliver, Langdon, Jackson all good this quarter.

    The rest have a long way to go.

    Centre clearances as per footywire...six to one against.

    We should be three goals down.

    My goodness.

    Put Jackson in the ruck. Do anything. That is rediculous.

    Our defense from spillages is average. They are getting goals there, not from set shots.

    We need to tighten up on this.


    ❌ poor disposals to turnovers Harmes Trac Oliver Jordon 

    ❌ Maxy 

    ❌ umps (Kozzy being held all quarter)

    ❌ allow Lloyd and Rampe free across backline 

    ✅ accurate goalkicking

    Beat me to it.

     

    Can’t be this bad at clearances and expect to win. 

    Jordon and Harmes getting plenty of it but turning it over with aplomb. Real problems with both of their decision making. 

    Brown’s leading and follow up work better than last week.

    This is true and poor umpiring.


    They’ve mentioned a few times on the coverage we’ve not had intercept marks which is a big key for us.

    [censored] bounce. Gawn had no chance

    Get Kozzie into the middle for a short stint and let's win a few clearances.  Then forward again to do his best work.

    Back again in short stints when needed

    Some terrible kicks, is there something wrong with the ball


    Cant remember Gawn playing 5 bad quarters in a row. Has he had too much bathwater?

    Just wait til BBB gets form and match fit

     

    Brown and McDonald starting to work well together in the space of the G. Loving it.

    • 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.
