Need to tidy up stoppages and stop allowing Daniel and co to sit off the back of packs.

Few of of our players MIA and need to get into the game. Kozzy could be the spark.

Biggest issue is that we’re not lowering our eyes moving the ball into the forward line. 
Petracca, Viney and Oliver are all guilty

Absolute rubbish. 

Yikes, you've gone hard there Webber.

Fritsch had 7 disposals against the Lions, 4 effective (and 4 goals, I concede). But his other three were ineffective.

He had 13 against the cats, with 8 effective (and 2 goals). So 20 disposal before today with 12 effective, or 60% de. His season average is 68%. At the moment he's got 6 with 3 effective, so 50%.

Poor may have been harsh, but he has not been as clean as he usually is.

Huge effort needed from here

we got ambushed in that 2nd Quarter 

Bulldogs gambled playing just on the edge and it paid off. throws for handballs, going to ground in tackles, push here and there. experience showing.

Got to get it up forward this quarter by hook or by crook then he can get going. First quarter were mainly clean entries, second quarter it hardly got up there. Midfield must lift.

WHY AND HOW THE FUURG GOODWIN IS DANIELS BEING ALLOWED TO RUN AROUND UNTAGGED???

I seriously don't get this.  If this is left unchecked it will go down as one of the worst unchecked decisions in a GF.  Surely with all the guys in the box someone is seeing it and will make the move!!!????

Bont for the Norm Smith at this rate.

Well he took out his main contender with a head high bump (un penalised)

Clarry looks NQR now

Who runs with Bont when he drifts forward?

This quarter will be the either the best or the worst I've ever seen in my life.

I'm grateful for that at least .

Exciting times you pack of nutjobs.

Bless you all.

I feel sick right now. I just hope we can get our game together, the system has worked and can work again but we do need to stop the quick ball supply into their 50. 

And when we get it we must lock it in our 50. When we do that and get a look at goal, take it. Come on Demons, it is not over until it is over. 

I honestly want to vomit, this is not good. I think I can safely say everyone on Demonland is feeling very similar.

Our players need to perfect the art of ducking into tackles. Rewards you with free shots on goal that result in goals (per Lachie Hunter).

Cos they’re rushing the ball in and swarming the contest, then contesting better at ground level than us with receivers just off the contest. They’re first to the loose ball, and first to any contest, and in possession, their skills are slaughtering us. That’s their brand, and it works when you allow them to dominate the pressure game. We got rattled, started fumbling, kicking to no-one, and giving nothing handballs. Only chance we get back into it is contest harder and blitz the ball forward at every opportunity. Every opportunity.  It’s gonna take something special. Go Dees

Daniels presently heading for NS ... the Bont not far away either

They had the bounce of the ball really go their way that quarter. That generally evens out.

In r19 we lost 9.11 to 13.7. We need to take our chances. Got to bring back that intense pressure from Q1 and grab this game by the scruff. 

Let's snag one in the first minute, start the quarter with some momentum, because it was very much against us at the end of Q2.

Go Dees!

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.
