Need an enormous response. 

Players again going into their shell. Second to contests and fumbling. And the desperation acts aren't helping because we're getting sucked in to the contest again like last week and Sydney have better shape around the ball.

Trac and Clarry need to stand up as does Ben Brown, Salem, Tomo, Mitch Brown, Hunt. 

Not good enough. 

 

 

Our delivery to Ben Brown has been pathetic.

We kick it to a contest every time in our forward line and he’s not that kind of forward.

How many times have we hit him on a lead of late?

    Here we go. We’ve owned the premiership quarter barring last week.

    Tomlinsom has been unmatchable, Ben Brown can't get near it, Salo rusty, beaten at our own game that quarter.

    There's a reason for that....none have played at this level for a while and the Swans are coming off a great come back win.  Tails up.  Hold judgement till the 2nd half.  Takes a while to pick up AFL pace.

    In the end it will come down to winning the mid field battle

    OK, I got up, had a cold drink, vented my frustration, and now ready for the 2nd half.

    Our midfield looks hesitant and faulty, our forward 50 looks clunky and dysfunctional. Swans have goals from Reid who is getting free kicks for nothing, and another goal from a kick out of a pack which lands in the lap of another forward. And yet we are 2 points down. 

    I think we might actually be OK.

     

    WTF was that for

    Why do we continue to appear to have most leads (and pretty much all TFs) going wide to the pockets?

    Easier for us to set up our defence.

    We have almost overcorrected, prioritising our defence way more than our offensive game.

    26-12 hit outs, yet losing clearances………no connection in the forward line or middle atm.

    At the bounce to start this quarter Gawn had a clear tap but went the no-look over his head straight to a Sydney player.

    Petracca fumbles again


    Real arm wrestle ATM

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

    • POSTGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
