Getting better looks at goal but we’re also taking a much more relaxed approach to set shots and giving them the best chance to go through. If we’re missing them they aren’t missing by much eg Clarry’s poster on tight angle. 
BBB has stopped moving the ball around in his run up, I think they’ve definitely gone back to basics in this area.

Jones would actually be better than Viney at this point. Smarter with the ball and seems to be more adaptable. 

did you watch yesterday's vfl game. jonesy's decision making was very ordinary

Edited by daisycutter

 

Viney still has no idea. Doesn’t kick when he needs to, tries to take everyone on and gets caught holding the ball. In the bottom 2-4 players in the team.

Probably not as noticeable, but AnB playing very well.

Feel quite bad for Viney. He seems so out of place in this team. Doesn't seem to be "one of the boys" and tries to do too much. 

Dont feel too bad. He has 4 years left on his contract for us to enjoy.  Imagine having that money available to go chase a quality ball user. 


What a difference a dry deck makes. 
 

Doing it easily essentially without Kozzie, Viney Sparrow and Harmes. Jones and Vanders back in for the Eagles games.

Be disappointing if we drop off now.

A quarter is a long time. Some of these posts by our “supporters” have not aged well.

1. Mental Midgets

2. We are XXXX average

3. Jack Viney has no weapons

4. Choking vs Suns

5. This game has disaster written all over it

6. Upset loomimg 

7. Fair dinkum. Played Suns back into form.

8. Our defence is xxxxhouse

9. Where a very ordinary football side

We will be third on the ladder tonight. Touch wood we have no injuries and I have no doubt we have lost games by loading and focusing on the finals big picture than individual wins. We are within touching distance of guaranteed home finals and double chance. Let Dogs and Cats hog the limelight this is our best chance since 64 to win a flag. As Oscar Wilde would say rumours of our demise are greatly exaggerated. Go Dees

Yeah   might be time for a spell  maybe bring the jones boy back for a few games. How is he going in the twos.   NO one can question Vineys commitment and courage but just not working for him and team  since he came back...  and I love the bloke

I’d have JJ in. We need to build his ball use and decision making long term. Could be the missing piece.

For me I think this is Viney trying to find form. He has been injured and not in the team also trying to find match fitness. What a good opportunity to try and find some of that touch. He is getting the ball and once that confidence comes back he will be the bull he was again! 

Hes seems down on pace too so Im not sure hes fully fit yet.

Should see if Geelong are still keen on Viney. Worth asking the question

Gee you get off someone quick. He is the vice captain he is not going anywhere.

He can find touch in the VFL like everyone else. I dunno why he gets special treatment. He’s been trash since coming back. Yet Hibbo gets dropped after a stellar year and two poor games. 


Agree with most things said about Viney. He’s standing out in our midfield right now and not in a good way. I’d love to think it’s just about shaking the ring rust but how games back do you give a guy? Maybe the fast deck at Marvel just isn’t going to be the game for him.

I don't know if I enjoy watching footy with this sense of calm

still stressed enough to have a chip at Viney though ?

Edited by Engorged Onion

Go Viney!

Jack takes first option, we end up with a shot for goal. Maybe someone finally got into his ear at HT.

Yep but someone needs to tell him that most AFL players now days are as strong as him and to stop trying to run through packs. Please just give the first option. Harmes also needs to be told this.

2nd nice short kick to a lead by Viney. He's trying to fight his instincts and if he can keep doing that it will help us massively.

 

 

I know we are 10 goals up but Brown and Max are held CONSISTENTLY and free kick never called.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

  • POSTGAME: Collingwood

    Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.

    It's Game Day and the Demons face a monumental task as they take on the top-of-the-table Magpies in one of the biggest games on the Dees calendar: the King's Birthday Big Freeze MND match. Can the Demons defy the odds and claim a massive scalp to keep their finals hopes alive?
