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.

    I’ll be away for the next few weeks, so Binman will be holding the fort for our podcasts covering the Suns, Bombers and Lions matches. As a result, there will be no live podcasts during this period, and we won’t be taking calls or voicemails. Binman will still be dipping into this thread to select a few questions to answer, while also combining the long-form Stats Files podcast with the Demonland Podcast for these shows. Your questions and comments are a huge part of what makes the podcast work, so please post anything you’d like to ask or say below and we’ll do our best to give you a shout-out on the show. Please try to keep each post focused on one specific topic or player to make podcast preparation a little easier. If you have multiple topics you’d like to raise, please put them in separate posts.

  • PREVIEW: Gold Coast

    Melbourne’s slow starts have been a troubling theme for a while. Against the Suns, they started slowly in both of their games, they trailed by 5.7.37 to 0.1.1 at quarter time at Peoples First Stadium in Round 16. This season, the story has remained the same and if the Demons fail to shake off this issue against the unbeaten Gold Coast Suns, they will be in serious danger of capitulating once again in their Easter Sunday showdown.
