GAMEDAY: Rd 15 vs Brisbane

We appear to be interchanging Jackson and Weid on the bench rather than one resting forward.

Perhaps we will see a change

 

We got better as the quarter wore on but low quality fare from both teams thus far

Playing poorly but some woeful umpiring. What really give you headaches is soft frees to them eg Daniher, downfield then blatant mark play on. I know I have red and blue goggles but we get shafted week in week out

    Weid looking better in the ruck and around the ground than Dogga 🤣

    Funny you say that, I counted at least three times he didn’t even make a contest in the ruck. Either forgot to contend in the forward line or completely mis-timed his jump. He is trying though. It just feels like Dogga isn’t switched on.

    Said all week Weid should take most of the ruck

    Petracca can’t play in the midfield when he’s not fit. He looks moles off it. He was absolutely spent at the 20 minute mark of that quarter. Something is very clearly wrong with him.

    May as well put him forward and roll Koz and Spargs through the guts.

    We're showing the run and dash of a Tweed heads prawn trawler

    I don't know how we're going to magically get good from Q2. Unsurprisingly, the same issues remain, but worse, because we don't have maxy to save us with his work around the ground, clutch marks etc. Both our goals have been mayhem/lucky. 

    Going to be a long 3 quarters if we don't come out with a better gameplan, and some cleaner skills/forward connection.

     

    Lever looks better

    Sparrow looks better

    however our fwd pressure is still terrible

    Thought we blocked their run well in the last ten of that quarter. Was a real good patch by us, with the exception of ‘connection’…need to build on it.

    Showed a glimpse in the last few minutes but we are just so sketchy with all facets of the game. 
    Why are Brown and Weideman playing so high?

    Because we have no marking target coming out of D50

    Was a clear touch by the lions player prior to sparrow marking it

    What about the Brisbane guy ripping sparrows head off a split second later

    I like Jordan, but needs to get better at hitting targets, both by hand and foot. Turning it over too much at the moment.

    I think a little composure will go a very long way in this type of game.

    This is a very poor 1 vs 2. You wouldn't believe it if you weren't told the positions on the ladder.

    No sign of any attempt to change up our ball movement. So predictable, the opposition set up waiting for it and we have to hope to win every contested ball to move forward. 

    Screw the umpires. Run harder, make more options, win more contested ball, make more chances.

    Brisbane had 7 shots from 10 entries. We had 5 from 13.

    We badly need to tighten up defensively if we're not going to quickly turn things around offensively.

    To be fair we haven’t looked like a top 2 side for a month or more.

      It's Game Day or has everyone given up. Maybe it is because a prime time Friday game is so rare ... double checks today is Friday ... Come on DL'ers support the team one last time for the year!

    • AFLW PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      The Demons return to Casey Fields (aka the Field of Dreams) this Saturday to host the Saints in Round 2. If you’re feeling lucky, head down the Monash for some family-friendly footy—you might even walk away a winner. The first 5,000 adults through the gate will receive an entry into the $10,000 helicopter ball drop. With Casey’s infamous wind, what could possibly go wrong? Closest ball to the pin wins. So spread the word, get down there—and good luck!

    • 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.
