Hunt is a worry

Because he beat Bontempelli in a one on one and wasn’t rewarded with a free kick? FMD.

    Gawn is doing my head in. Be smarter ffs. 

    He just coughs it up far too much. Kills momentum with his turn overs and ****ty taps to the opposition.

    Wieds is making a contest I'll give him that, but he is not best 22 at the moment.

    We are winning games off tremendous workrate and defensive pressure (and Tom McDonald). Let's just bite the bullet and put Wiedeman and Brown at Casey until they can do what Tom can do.

    5 mark attempts, has crashed packs... 5 could have stuck another night. Takes a forward from TMAC.... a range of things he is doing that doesn't quite count on the stats sheet...

    Hes done a couple but your being generous. No matter who is on him He MUST score.

    we started well, but lost the 2nd quarter, hopefully the coach will use that to spur them on a bit more. We know they are going to switch need to be better prepared for it. our picking up of players on the switch resulted in them scoring. We are ahead we just need to keep working hard, and hopefully some of our forwards will start to put in a bit more, even if that is just leading out so as to not crowd the forward line we we take the ball in. all in all a great performance so far, but the job is only half done.

    How silly of him trying to organise the defence, he should have just been selfish and focus on one bloke and made sure he didn’t get a block off the ball….. ok chief 

    Yep, he's playing on an enormous target

    Gawn, Jackson, Weiderman,  Hunt have all been pathetic.  

    Both Weideman and Jackson are simply giving us nothing up forward.

    What's Hunts role exactly? Dead set witches hat having 1 disposal in a half of football playing in one of the easiest positions on the ground.

    Weideman 1 handball to half time. You must be joking. Pity the dogs if we ever get our passengers going. Start polishing your boots for next week Ben

    Why are our players told to stand on mark but theirs aren’t - but they can stand within 5mtrs. 

    Agreed. It’s bizarrely different and seemingly we aren’t in the umps good books.

    The thing is they wouldn't have stuck.

    The umpires haven't missed paying a bunch of  marginal deliberate out of bounds against us this game have they?

    FFS ?????

    Melkshsm 0.5 metres away from ball as it ran out of bounds apparently. That was dog ?umpire.

    I get the feeling the umpires are getting a twisted satisfaction in giving deliberate out of bounds against Melbourne tonight.

    I’ll swim against the tide here and say a 19 point lead against the top team is something I’ll take. 
     

    Forward line pressure and kicking into the fifty has been much improved. Clarry and Tracc have been silk. 
     

    If our form is to be taken into account, we’ll strangle the Dogs as opposed to steamrolling them (if that makes sense). Fingers crossed. ?

    They stick in other contexts... but I get the point... 

    I'm still hoping for the Max Gawn at Kardinia Park breakout, where he feels he belongs...

    To be fair to hunt, razor was on board the bont wankfest and didn't reward hunts great defensive tackle which would have doubled his touches for the half.

    We will win. Levels above. Should be 40 points up, we come home well, the bullies have kicked accurate and their luck will run out. We will play stronger opposition this year. I’m happy to be on us for 25 plus tonight.

    I too would have loved to see BB out there tonight.  English and TMac are showing that if you hold your marks you then go back and kick goals.  Weid has one mark on the wing and a tackle.

    C’mon mate you need to lift in the second half. 

    The key to our dominance in the first quarter was the Centre clearances. We dropped off in the second quarter and it really hurt us. 

    Straw Poll

    19 points up at half time against the top team....

    Would you take it?

    without any buts??

    Weed Jacko and Hunt 4 possessions between them. All low on confidence for some reason. Need to lift as bulldogs cranked it up in the last 10 minutes.

    • 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.
