If Brown and Trac find something we win this well. 
Lobb is such a gun. What a shocking game for May to get injured. Especially with Buddy next week too. 

Buddy could have to answer to the MRO.

    With no May down there, Lobb the worry.

    Just going to have to stop the ball getting down there. Gawn or Jackson may have to help out down there

    Hope so but at least we have Tomlinson ready to go. He'll be ok

    Much better quarter but once again inaccurate kicking.

    Ideally we need goals and behinds at a ratio of 2:1 not 1:1 or worse

    Strong third quarter and ease through the fourth


    Our tall forwards are indeed a worry. None in good form.

    At worst, we could kick in long and high, they just need to bring the ball to ground and let Kozzie and Toby go to work

    Will be hard to hold a mark in the 2nd half. Ground is dewy.

    Freo will come out hard in 3Q so the boys need to be ready for it. Game is nowhere near over. 

    Wish Tommo was the sub but he’ll get his chance next week.

    TMac has been OK of late, shame he's not out there (in more ways than one as he could have covered for May if necessary).

    4-6 we kicked that quarter. Wasted some opportunities

    At least we’re consistent 🤦


    Its an admirable thing to do by the club to get Melk to 200 games.

    One would think he would play a blinder but far from it.

     

    Edited by leave it to deever

    Clarry excellent. Maxy, Viney and ANB very good

    Can see why Freo are a low scoring team. Great defensively but very stodgy ball movement and poor accuracy

    Just need to keep the scoreboard ticking over. 65-70 points is more than enough to win today

    That's a big part of the problem though. We're really kicking it on top of their heads a lot this year. Thought we turned  a corner last week, some good signs with forward delivery. Hopefully it's better in the second half.

    Not that that's the only problem of course, but it's the main one IMO.

    People laughed when I said pick van rooyen. Better than either forward below the knees

    Our two key forwards aren't worth a bumper so far. 

    What’s the going price for a bumper these days Old Dee?

    What was our adjustment in the backline?

    Good question I have been trying to work that out.

    Wow! This is one powerful team!

    What I like:

    Viney: In full beast mode.

    Bedford: that speed is mesmerising.

    Kozzie!!!!

    Max turning it on in the second quarter with his own clearances.

    Petty filling in for May.

    Lever doing great.

    Things to work on:

    Petracca is quiet.

    Rivers has made a few blues.

    Jacko could do a bit more especially with Lobb being so dangerous.

    • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Collingwood

      Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.

    • GAMEDAY: Collingwood

      It's Game Day and the Demons face a monumental task as they take on the top-of-the-table Magpies in one of the biggest games on the Dees calendar: the King's Birthday Big Freeze MND match. Can the Demons defy the odds and claim a massive scalp to keep their finals hopes alive?

    • CASEY: Collingwood

      It was freezing cold at Mission Whitten Stadium where only the brave came out in the rain to watch a game that turned out to be as miserable as the weather.
      The Casey Demons secured their third consecutive victory, earning the four premiership points and credit for defeating a highly regarded Collingwood side, but achieved little else. Apart perhaps from setting the scene for Monday’s big game at the MCG and the Ice Challenge that precedes it.
      Neither team showcased significant skill in the bleak and greasy conditions, at a location that was far from either’s home territory. Even the field umpires forgot where they were and experienced a challenging evening, but no further comment is necessary.
