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!!!

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.

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.

Pre-bandage Harmes was horrible. Poor decisions.

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

Bit in that.

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.

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. 

Posted

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

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.
