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.

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.

      It’s game day and the Demons are chasing a fourth straight win as we take on the high flying Hawks at the G. After decades of being tormented by the Hawks the Dees will be keen to extend their 7 year dominance over Hawthorn.

    • NON-MFC: Round 09

      Round 9 kicks off out west with the Dockers hosting a Collingwood side resting several stars. Fremantle need to make a statement on their home deck after some disappointing form on the road, while the Magpies will be keen to maintain their Top 2 position. Friday night sees a must-win clash between two sides desperate to stay in touch with the eight. St Kilda have shown glimpses while Carlton are clinging to relevance after a flat start to the season. Saturday’s twilight game at Marvel pits the Bombers against a struggling Sydney outfit. Essendon can’t afford another close match against a lower-ranked side, while the Swans risk sliding down the ladder even further. Up in Darwin, the fourth-placed Suns will look to extend their stay in the top four. The Bulldogs have hit their stride with three big wins on the trot and will be very keen to consolidate on their momentum. The always fiery Showdown looms as pivotal for both clubs. Adelaide are eyeing a spot in the Top 4 with a win, while Port Adelaide’s season could slip away if they drop another game and fall further behind the pack. Sunday begins with a yawn fest between Richmond and West Coast. The Tigers need to bank the points to stay clear of the bottom two, while the Eagles are still chasing their first win of the year. The Giants face one of the league’s toughest road trips as they travel to GMHBA Stadium to face the Cats. With GWS at risk of a third straight loss, Geelong will be eager to consolidate their position inside the eight and start their climb up the ladder. The round wraps up with the top-of-the-table Lions heading to Ninja Stadium to take on the second-last Roos. The Lions should easily take care of the struggling Roos who might be powerless against the best in the comp. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?
