If Weideman kicks a bag tomorrow he has to be an automatic replacement for Petty.

And where would you play him,half back?

    Max needs a bit of a rev up I reckon. Hope the boys get around him and get him going. 

    Maxy definitely struggling again. He’s actually tapping to Swans mids!!!

    If we open up the forward 50 for BBB we will win by 6 goals plus

    Leave him one out with the forward flankers streaming towards goal for a crumb 

    their backline is strong on the ground and in the contest - we need to clear it out!

    Im sorry but 9 times as many centre clearances is an absolute disgrace.

    Swans tackle count much higher too.

    Come on Lever.. Rivers.. especially Hunt and Gus.get going for goodness sake.

    Jackson shut down as is Fritta.

    Goodsy needs to give them a serve re pressure.

    Congrats Oliver...Spargo...Tmac... bbb...Max... May and Langdon.

    But please make our tackles harder.

    McDonald (back) + Wiedeman > McDonald forward + Petty

    Petty isn't the future. He's not an AFL standard defender, no way known.

    Should be 4 goals up. We kicked well early but missed 2 soda set shots there and Tracc needs to nail those snaps if he is to be elite. Hopefully second half we get our goal kicking accuracy right.

    Harmes has justified his selection

    Pre-bandage Harmes was horrible. Poor decisions.

    Post-bandage Harmes better. Perhaps the head bandage changed his mindset?

    Bit in that.

    Enjoyed the games of Harmes and Jordon so far. Harmes has justified his selection and Jordon continues to improve. 

    Benny Brown looks more of an aerial threat today compared to last week.

    Dees by 30.

    Once Harmes stopped trying to break every tackle he got better.

    Jordon has been good, the cleanness of ball use will come with games and belief he has that few moments to compose before distribution.

    Kicking efficiency at only 50 percent that quarter. Clean that up and we'll get somewhere.

    Love you Max but your goal kicking stinks big time. U 2 trac.

    Kozzie was in space with no one on him coming from behind on his right side.  No one within cooee...just off the bench maybe.

    Doesn't usually happen unless 50 out or more but with Maxy on a pretty severe angle (for him) they might wanna consider dishing off to a better kick like Kozzie on the run in this situation.  Has to be a better percentage chance surely 

    ANB doing some nice things, Melk, loved that 1st goal when heat was on, Tmac work down the ground was key, he can go back but then the 1st goal was clutch. Lever jumping up and down with frustration was funny. So many moments in this game be still my beating heart. God bless Langdon. Benny doing exactly what we wanted. So many more comments for the end of game.

    Also kudos/ hat tip to Longmire - he is scaring the crap out of me, Syd winning clearances, stalled our intercept marking and has numbers at the ball. That said how good are the Dee's didn't drop their bundle - thanks Goodwin!

    Imagine not looking that good as a 21 year old, 12 game key defender. 

    There is 0% chance they drop him now. Show him some belief. He will deliver in the back half of the year.

    Gosh Petty looks very shaky. Needs to significantly build up his strength. 

    Thought Harmes has been ok to good. Max a bit quiet again, though came into it a bit more during the second.

    Quite a few have the fumbles.........calm down and play simple footy.

    Petty’s having an absolute shocker. He started poorly but improved in the Hawthorn game so let’s see what the second half brings. 

    Should be 4 goals up after the dominance we had for the first 15 minutes of that quarter. 

    If the ground is as greasy as the aisles here, I’m not surprised the kicking efficiency is down. Few slipping as well.

     

    Fritta has to get his [censored] together. He’s all over the shop. 
    Clearances. Clearances. Clearances. It’s the only way to get Sydney to stop riding our arses

    • 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?

    • POSTGAME: Hawthorn

      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.

      It’s game day and the Demons are chasing a fourth straight win as we take on the high flying Hawks at the G. After decades of being tormented by the Hawks the Dees will be keen to extend their 7 year dominance over Hawthorn.

    • NON-MFC: Round 09

      Round 9 kicks off out west with the Dockers hosting a Collingwood side resting several stars. Fremantle need to make a statement on their home deck after some disappointing form on the road, while the Magpies will be keen to maintain their Top 2 position. Friday night sees a must-win clash between two sides desperate to stay in touch with the eight. St Kilda have shown glimpses while Carlton are clinging to relevance after a flat start to the season. Saturday’s twilight game at Marvel pits the Bombers against a struggling Sydney outfit. Essendon can’t afford another close match against a lower-ranked side, while the Swans risk sliding down the ladder even further. Up in Darwin, the fourth-placed Suns will look to extend their stay in the top four. The Bulldogs have hit their stride with three big wins on the trot and will be very keen to consolidate on their momentum. The always fiery Showdown looms as pivotal for both clubs. Adelaide are eyeing a spot in the Top 4 with a win, while Port Adelaide’s season could slip away if they drop another game and fall further behind the pack. Sunday begins with a yawn fest between Richmond and West Coast. The Tigers need to bank the points to stay clear of the bottom two, while the Eagles are still chasing their first win of the year. The Giants face one of the league’s toughest road trips as they travel to GMHBA Stadium to face the Cats. With GWS at risk of a third straight loss, Geelong will be eager to consolidate their position inside the eight and start their climb up the ladder. The round wraps up with the top-of-the-table Lions heading to Ninja Stadium to take on the second-last Roos. The Lions should easily take care of the struggling Roos who might be powerless against the best in the comp. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?
