Oliver and Trac need to do a hell of a lot more and we need Salem back to his best. Especially without Langdon. We can’t move the ball forward when we get it half back, just as I suspected. 

It will be a long night if we don’t start winning some contested footy in the middle. 
Our defense is really concerning me. Not just the back 6, all over the ground. Shades of the Adelaide game. Let’s see what we learnt from that loss.

If Hipwood plays on from a mark foward of the mark and out of bounds why isn't play on and then out of bounds?

Because OOOAAhhHHHH HIPWOOOOOOOD!!!!!

McDonald, Weideman and Jackson have a combined total of 4 disposal. That's our 3 key forwards who have done nothing.

Keep it up and you can take your pick out of Weideman and Jackson who goes out for Brown.

Jackson up forward is useless and Weideman just doesn't demand it enough.

It’s hard for them to get involved. Inside 50s are 9-14, they were 6-6 at one stage so they went on an 8-2 run at the back end of that quarter. Ball is spending too much time in our back half. 

 

First team to make us look poor all year. 

what's the response Demons?

I’m getting serious Adelaide vibes from this game. Their ball movement is flowing way too smoothly. Frontal pressure and covering back exits needs to lift 5 fold.


Getting a lesson on how to create one on one contests.

We are playing from behind.

 A few a bit fumbly.

Backline need to do some chop outs.

Not making he most of when we have the ball.

 

This is has been a really technical game, as Brisbane try to pick apart our structures by mixing the tempo (ie control the ball but strike quickly when available). They've also pressured our forward ball movement really well.

Great to watch, I wish I could see the structures and zones instead of the zoom camera angle.

 

How do we get Oliver and Tracc back into this?

Would help if we could win a clearance!  

But yes, Weideman is never there when you need him.. and Jackson has the conviction and marking ability of a nervous 12 year old.

Brisbane marking everything so far, but if they're gonna keep playing slow like this, then they'll need to keep grabbing them all game. Our work around the contest has been poor by our standards so far, but Brisbane's pressure has been excellent. Gawn dominant in the ruck, but need Oliver and Petracca to break out of the stoppages more as the game goes on.

He had a decent game last week, so he is due for another seven down games.

It would be funny mate if it wasnt true.

Talk about bruis free footy.

No dispisals snd NO tackles is not acceptable.

Hes there...is it so hard to crash a pack or hip and shoulder someone if you cant get a touch?

Is it just me or are the commentators barracking for the Lions?

They are. So are the umpires.

I actually thought it has been one of the more even commentary efforts I've heard this year.


Lions can win the flag this year. Make no mistake about it. They are sensational. 

7-1 contested marks needs addressing


Lol nobody within meters of Charlie. 
 

This is going to get ugly quickly.

Can't give Cameron anywhere near that much space, really poor

  • REPORT: North Melbourne

    I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

  • CASEY: Werribee

    The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

    The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
