Mistake not having one of Brown or Weids in tonight. They are killing us in the air down back.

Yes Mitch Brown would be handy.

    Dominant for little reward. Need runners coming into the forward line for short hit ups if they are going to continue flooding back.

    Fritsch just wants the easy ball over the back or on a lead, doesn't like winning it himself.

    We are running past the ball looking for easy touch

     

    Gawn absolutely pasting the defenders after that Stringer goal. Gave them a spray.

    Nothing to kick to

    Forward targets nowhere

    kicked to a 3v1 just now and missed a target completely earlier. He's out of form.

    That said our forward set-up not working first quarter


    Viney would take a better defender as well

    Lets face it.
    Delivery into the forward line has been garbage for years.
    Lowered the eyes early this year but have reverted back to kicking and hoping.

    should have played one of the browns, that way it would have taken some of the pressure of fritch having one of the best backs on him

    our forwards need to defend more when essendon has the ball and running out of our defense

     

     

    Putting Gawn forward and bomb it in is a better chance of scoring than the current set up.

    Too much room in the zone down back.  When the game's on early we should be placing max pressure on them in our 50.  Instead we're allowing them to pick their way out from the goals at will with ease.

    It rarely works against teams who base their game around skills/run off HB and i don't expect it will work tonight either.

    Another loss looming if Goody &  Co stick with that strat in this 2nd quarter.  They'll be up by 5 or 6 goals at half time if we do.

    Bombers playing counter attack footy. 

    Make the most of our opportunities and we'll OK.

    Get absolutely [censored] Melbourne. Stringer on his own. 
    We are a mess.

    That’s a point


    Getting torched when they go forward. Their midfield are much better kicks

    Operation compact the ladder in full effect.

    How the [censored] can you tell with 3 frames a minute?

    Goal review is a farce.

    • PREGAME: Sydney

      Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?

      The Demons pulled off an absolute miracle at the Gabba coming from 24 points down in the 2nd Quarter to overrun the reigning premiers the Brisbane Lions winning by 11 points and keeping their season well and truly alive.

    • GAMEDAY: Brisbane

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are back on the road with a massive challenge ahead — facing the reigning premiers, the Brisbane Lions, at their Gabba fortress. The Lions are licking their wounds after a shock draw in Tasmania last week, while Melbourne’s season hangs in the balance. Can the Dees defy the odds and pull off a miracle to keep their razor thin finals hopes alive?

    • NON-MFC: Round 10

      The Sir Doug Nicholls Round kicks off in Darwin with a Top 4 clash between the Suns and the Hawks. On Friday night the Swans will be seeking to rebound from a challenging start to the season, while the Blues have the Top 8 in their sights after their sluggish start. Saturdays matches kick off with a blockbuster between the Collingwood and Kuwarna with the Magpies looking to maintain their strong form and the Crows aiming to make a statement on the road. The Power face a difficult task to revive their season against a resilient Cats side looking to make amends for their narrow loss last week. The Giants aim to reinforce their top-eight status, while the Dockers will be looking to break the travel hoodoo. The sole Saturday game is a critical matchup for both teams, as the Bulldogs strive to cemet their spot in the top six and the Bombers desperately want break into the 8. Sundays start with a bottom 3 clash between the Tigers and Kangaroos with both teams wanting to avoid the being in wooden spoon contention. The Round concludes with the Eagles still searching for their first win of the season, while the Saints look to keep their finals hopes alive with a crucial away victory. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?
