Gawn - very good 

Next 18 -just average 

Spargo Dunstan Weideman poor 

Oliver also very good and May. 
Let’s not forget Gawn has no opponent.

Weid could have had the easiest goal then

He called for the ball long rather than lead up and still fluffed the opportunity.... still  not sure about the Weid.  He often goes for the contested mark from behind but doesnt have the height or leap.

A 3 tall forward line when Maxy goes down there is ok but looks a little unbalanced.  We need a medium tall maybe Tracc/Melk to spend a bit more time in the danger zones IMO.

The talls are mostly waiting back then heading to the same contest once the kick comes inside.  Looks a little lazy for mine.  Bb is getting slightly blocked from leading by Frost but to be fair he's leaving his leads far too late and not working Frosty back hard enough (at all so far!??) for the double lead.  Very predictable & too easy for Frosty to run with.

It's going to be very hard to drop Hunt of he keeps playing like this

 

At the game, and the Hawks are hitting every contest and stoppage with enormous belief. We’re ahead only because we’re taking better advantage of their inevitable mistakes, given their run, gun, switch and spread. Waaay too little pressure from us on their uncontested possessions, like we’re assuming it’ll be fixed inside defensive 50. Hope the Hawks run out of puff like last week,  cos they’re in it up to their necks, and we’re just coasting. 


Lever looking just a bit off with his decision making. Hope he finds his groove in the second half.

We continue to absorb the very best other teams have, and yet remain in front. The Hawks are playing really well, are well coached, and are giving us trouble both in the air and on the ground. Some of handballing in the backline by our boys has been sloppy, wrong option, and directed at a stationary team mate. Even Bowey has made some kicking errors, missing targets by a long way.

Clean up silly little errors and we win well.

 

As a footballer weid is “above average” in absolutely nothing. To say he is vanilla is an insult to the spice itself. There is nothing “spicy” about Sam Weideman. Every singly movement the guy makes is unconvincing. He’ll kick 3 or 4 on any given occasion yet every mark is kinda fumbly. Every set shot hooks hard. Offers absolutely nothing defensively. Pack his bags, spare us the cap space, my god I’m so done with this half assed footballer.

I just had the abject misfortune of having to use the public toilets at St Albans train station. Despite the ‘vacant’ setting, when I kicked the door open (coz not touching a single surface), I see a guy injecting heroin into his big toe. I says, “sorry bro, didn’t know there was anyone in here.” He says, “all good” then looks up and says, “Go Dees!” 😆

good grief

After that hissy rant, I reckon most of us here are done with you.

Perhaps Viney up forward to crumb.

I get a thrill every time Frost has ball in hand haha

Is the fact he chose to leave us and no one has booed him show we don't care he left because we got may/ lever so we are better off without him or he amused us when he gets the ball because who knows what will happen

Will be impressive if we win this after 5 changes. Lever looks underdone 

He actually looks a little out of shape to me.

LOL I’m a walking ad for Demonland! Rocking a DL T-shirt, one with the big DL logo and no less than five ppl have approached me asking what DL is. The last person was a bit obnoxious so I’m apologising in advance if he joins DL. 😆

Tmac padding stats there. Should have let it through 

playing for his spot.

Hawks are off a 5 day break and have gone hard in the first half. They’ll run out of gas. Just need to up it a gear and we win for sure

i bet hell make a shocking error soon.


BB/Maxy to share CHF role pls.  Teams dont use this aspect enough when they have the opportunity with big marking fellas like this.  Sets the cat amongst the pigeons and opens up the game behind for others to lead in to/crumb as well

Don't know why,  we're a top team now, we don't need heroin to get through games anymore!

 

We win this if we play to the strengths we have shown so far in this game.

Our mids are physically stronger than ours. Make sure we burrow into packs, get into one on ones and hit targets after contest wins. Plus cut out silly mistakes in the back half. Some strange decisions have been made back there.

push our talls up and leave Fritta up fwd with Bedford.

  • REPORT: Fremantle

    For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

  • CASEY: UWS Giants

    The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
