GAMEDAY: Rd 03 vs Essendon

Reminds me of last year’s Hawthorn draw. Essendon realise if they scrap and make it messy, we can struggle to get our rhythm. Then they get us on the turnover with quick, deep minimal handling entries. We need to dispose first option and force it forward from the contest. Less Hollywood over-handling, more composure and get it forward with minimal unnecessary handling. Keep missing set shots though and we’re done. Expecting Tracc to dominate second half. 

 

BBB straightens us up and gives us much better structure moving into the forward line.

play him regardless of the week all on his lonesome.

    Weid despite marking it tonight lacks presence and I think no Ben brown is part of our efficiency problem forward

    The problem is BBB always brings the ball to ground. Weed is letting the Essendon defenders mark too often.

     

    Once BBB and Lever are back I’d prefer to leave Weid in the side and let TMac see out his time at Cranbourne. Time to move on…he simply serves no purpose anymore when he can’t hold a mark.

    Do you mean Mcdonald? Mcdonald is getting destroyed. Weid doing what he can. He should have 2-3 goals but hasn't converted.

    Fritsch and Mcdonald have let us down tonight. Kozzi too. Weeds is an easy target.

    Weid doing much better than TMac

    Both Kozzie and Spargo need to pull their finger out. Have not once spotted them at the drop of the ball when we've entered forward 50. Both giving us nothing.

    Yep. Max is struggling, but putting him deep forward with these 2 crumbing the pack is a better strategy than the one we are employing atm.

     

    We have been our own worst enemy, we should be five goals in front and in full control but where not. If we lose the frustration levels will be maxed out. Hopefully we can find our composure make the most of our opportunities and have a good win. 


    Spargo's decision making - horrendous.

    • PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Way back in March we contemplated the possibility of a Demon resurgence after Simon Goodwin’s summer of love. Many issues at the club had seemingly been addressed, key players were returning from injury and a brand new day was about to dawn. We imagined the coach pulling a rabbit out of a hat. The team would roar up the charts, push aside every opponent and make its way to a Grand Final ending in ultimate triumph with Goody and Max holding the premiership cup aloft under a shower of red and blue ticker tape.

    • AFLW REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      We’re back! That was fun. The Mighty Dees’ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commanding 48-point winover the Western Bulldogs, retaining the Hampson-Hardeman Cup in style. After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

    • CASEY: Box Hill

      The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

      The final game of the 2025 Season is finally upon us and the Demons may have an opportunity to spoil the Magpies Top 4 aspirations when they face them on Friday Night. Who comes in and who goes out?
