GAMEDAY: Grand Final vs Western Bulldogs

[ANG13 2,086]

Birds of Tokyo about as bad as us in the second qtr. 

[Lord Travis 10,793]

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.

[joeboy 3,174]

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

[Wadda We Sing 10,685]

Well be ok....regroup settle.....

In Max we trust

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.

Pity Bont’s car didn’t break down on the way to this game.

[RickyJ45 417]

our Belief will get us over the line.....

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!!!????

[Jaded No More 68,975]

Maybe it’s not meant to happen until it can happen where it should, at the MCG full of Melbourne fans.

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? 

[Biffen 12,949]

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

[Straight Sets Simon 23,113]

Surely we put someone on Daniel.

[Demon Dynasty 17,129]

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

Exactly what I’m thinking.

[ProperDee 1,698]

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

[Red But Mostly Blue 4,558]

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!

I got no idea how we win this dogs well and truly on top
