We got smashed in the midfield, yet most our votes have gone to midfielders!!!

On reflection I should have given more votes to our backs.

Also who was on Daniel's - he destroyed us.

    Agree.  Simon Goodwin. Please explain why we let Daniel alone as a loose defender all night. He set up a lot of Bulldog entries. He is highly skilled and used the corridor.   It was obvious to me. Next time FFS Play him tight with an Anb, Melksham or a Harmes across half forward.

    Petracca a lot of disposals, but almost wholly ineffective IMHO. 

    This is about right.    special mention to all us supporters who still think we are a chance this year.  I think our record since QB speaks for itself. Middle of the road at best

    2. Gawn (I don't understand the kicking wildly at every opportunity...but I'll assume it was coaches' instructions)

    I am starting to get a bit concerned with Ed Langdon, he is in free fall since round nine and boy are we feeling the impact of his decline. Let’s hope he finds his Mojo over the next four weeks as we are not as good a team without him firing on all eight cylinders.

    I think ANB going at 48% DE has setting to do with it.

    He got involved a lot and generally played ok (7 clearances and 4 SIs) but also had 7 turnovers from his 25 disposals.

    Thanks. I try not to allow myself to be persuaded by statistical parameters - good or bad - when deciding on votes. Especially as I think disposal efficiency is a very crude measure. But I appreciate that ANB undoes a lot of his good work with poor disposals. However, I thought in thisn game he also had many good possessions which resulted in positive results. Perhaps a second viewing of the game (which I won't do!) might persuade me otherwise.

    Not a single soul apparently.

    • GAMEDAY: Geelong

      It's Game Day, and reinforcements are finally arriving for the Demons—but will it be too little, too late? They're heading down the freeway to face a Cats side returning home to their fortress after two straight losses, desperate to reignite their own season. Can the Demons breathe new life into their campaign, or will it slip even further from their grasp?

    • PREVIEW: Geelong

      "It's officially time for some alarm bells. I'm concerned about the lack of impact from their best players." This comment about one of the teams contesting this Friday night’s game came earlier in the week from a so-called expert radio commentator by the name of Kane Cornes. He wasn’t referring to the Melbourne Football Club but rather, this week’s home side, Geelong.The Cats are purring along with 1 win and 2 defeats and a percentage of 126.2 (courtesy of a big win at GMHBA Stadium in Round 1 vs Fremantle) which is one win more than Melbourne and double the percentage so I guess that, in the case of the Demons, its not just alarm bells, but distress signals. But don’t rely on me. Listen to Cornes who said this week about Melbourne:- “They can’t run. If you can’t run at speed and get out of the contest then you’re in trouble.

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit.
      Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      For a brief period of time in the early afternoon of yesterday, the Casey Demons occupied top place on the Smithy’s VFL table. This was only made possible by virtue of the fact that the team was the only one in this crazy competition to have played twice and it’s 1½ wins gave it an unassailable lead on the other 20 teams, some of who had yet to play a game.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      In my all-time nightmare game, the team is so ill-disciplined that it concedes its first two goals with the courtesy of not one, but two, fifty metre penalties while opening its own scoring with four behinds in a row and losing a talented youngster with good decision-making skills and a lethal left foot kick, subbed off in the first quarter with what looks like a bad knee injury.
