And to make matters worse, when we do get the ball inside 50, it’s bouncing straight back out. We are defending poorly all over the ground. 
Brisbane, as I said, are a much better side than the Dogs. Strong across every line. Our forwardline is average at best and our midfield while good on paper, can get blown apart in clearances. We need to fix these issues before finals, or it won’t be a long campaign. 

Yep they are likely Grand Finalists no doubt

We have no midfield depth so when clarry and trac are being held there's no one else to pick up the load. Harmes is our 3rd best mid and he was playing vfl 2 weeks ago. Not a dig at sparrow or Jordon as they're young but we need to sort this out

Only two ways this'll go:

- Lions start converting, we get smoked because it's flattering that we're only 20 points down.

- We work out we are being smoked and the boys lift and stop letting the Lions play this on their terms. Mids need to run harder, defence gotta communicate better. We need to lock that ball in our f50 and stop them waltzing the ball in their f50.

Got to stop being bullied. We look soft.

Yea as excited as I have been this season...its shades of dees past

 

Bruise free footy im sad to say.

Why cant weid or Tmac qt least crash a pack?

Cos as skilled as we are at times we lack the necessary physicality.

Lions dont.

    I swear if Melksham doesn’t start getting involved I will lose my mind. He is so soft, so loose, so uninvolved. I’m so over him.

    Our defence gets interceptions because of fwd mid pressure which isn’t there tonight 

    fix that

    Yep need to start crashing packs. Making it to easy for them and they're killing us when the ball hits the ground

     

    Without Viney we really lack that brutality in the middle.

    We need to change things up completely and I’d even try Jackson as a ruck rover to Gawn taking the ball high.

    Brisbane totally out playing us, their pressure and the perceived pressure are making us make bad decisions. Our work rate is not at the level it needs to be to compete against the best sides. I haven’t felt like we have controlled any period of this game and are lucky to be as close as we are. We need to lift big time if we are to win or even stay close.

    Mclachlan interviewing kids is more cringeworthy than Roaming BT

     Can be a little creepy I reckon

    Would be a good idea for some to play in front of their opponent

    Immensely looking forward to this half...

    What have we got?

    Looking ahead or to the now? 


    can they start paying Daniher pushing Jackson in the back over and over. Oliver lift!

    Fritsch with two goals and pressuring well with limited opportunities is doing fine. 
    Petty has been ok. 
    agree with the rest 

    2 goals to fritsch

     

    Get your hand off it. 1 was gifted to him in the goal square

    He's been useless. Watch the game

    Cmon boys!!! LIFT!!

    He is Sheeeit is that what ur saying??

    I don't mind losing, but the Lions are not this far ahead of us. I at least want to boys to put that half behind them and make them earn it. Good sides don't get smoked. 

    We're being tested.

    We CAN do this. 

    Half the team have barely sighted the ball, they should be fresh as to run them off their feet.

    We were all very right to get excited by Kozzie - and still are - but in the last few matches a little reality has started to kick in. He’s a kid who’s still finding his way (and boy, won’t he). But I’ve noticed I don’t get the same rush of anticipation when he gets near the ball. Just hoping he does something good with it.

      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.

      The final game of the 2025 Season is finally upon us and the Demons may have an opportunity to spoil the Magpies Top 4 aspirations when they face them on Friday Night. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • 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?
