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?

    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?

    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

    • AFLW REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      We’re back! That was fun. The Mighty Dees’ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commanding 48-point winover the Western Bulldogs, retaining the Hampson-Hardeman Cup in style. After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

    • CASEY: Box Hill

      The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

    • POSTGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons were sloppy all day and could not stop the run and carry of the fast moving Hawthorn as the Hawks cruised to an easy 36 point win. Is the season over yet?
