We aren’t competitive in the air aside from our defenders. Have to change out game plan a bit - as long down the line is killing us.

    Have wanted to trust in him, but Weid offers nothing.  Mauled in the ruck, and cant provide strength in the contest

    The umpiring is YET AGAIN A JOKE. 

    Seriously the umps need GLASSES. 

    ABSOLUTELY USELESS just like last year.

    It is not their eyesight.  They know what is going in. They are downright cheats.

    WTF. Everytime ball goes in Crows 50 Walker gets a head high tackle. And May needs to stop kicking long to the Crows ruckman. Just dumb.

    This game really is going the way of last years. We need to work our butts off this won't be an easy kill, we need to get repeat forward 50 stoppages and more scoring chances and we'll do it.


    Stats Id like to see:

    1 succesful bombs into the square

    2 where free kicks are won and lost

    1st half

    X decision making 

    x slow play and kicking to packs 

    x overhandballing to players under more pressure 

    x who’s on Dawson !!! Ffs - put Neal-bullen in him

    x kicking to O’Brien!!!!

    x oliver 2 misses, Harmesy bad miss from 3metres out 

    🤮Weid - outmarked outmuscled outplayed dropped marks poor tackles 

    🤮🤮🤮umps -12 to 6!

    🤮Pickett and Bedford  nowhere near it 

    🤮Goodwin coaching - man up on Dawson  Low kicks to contests  Quick play on footy 

    🤬May on Walker

    I am hoping, and thinking, we'll run over them in the second half (need a change in how we drive the ball forward), but that depends on how much gas the umps have in the tanks. Truly atrocious today.

    Frees 12-6

    walker has a neck but Demons players don’t 

    crows at least 2 goals from frees

    They don’t need glasses they are seeing everything. They are choosing which frees to pay. We got none that quarter. Crowd thinks that is too many.

    We have a Captain on the ground and he should be asking why it is happening before they start the second half.

    Also this bombing into the forward line to a one on two or even three is just dumb. Kick it wide or along the ground, to get our small forwards into the game.

    Umpiring is a joke. They get crowd frees for nothing.

    Great tough game of footy, Crows playing some great footy, so are we.

    Unfortunately Weid is trying so hard, 2nd efforts etc... but his lacking of marking ability is killing us. Concrete hands in so many marking contests.

    Actually, we have 1 remaining issue to fix if we want to go all the way this year: contested marking. BBB, Weid, and M Brown are getting to everything but marking nothing. Fritsch is struggling to even get to a marking contest.

    When people throw themselves headfirst and forward deliberately playing for the free it’s difficult to tackle. That last one to Tex wasnt actually high. The umpires should not pay those ones as players endanger themselves leading with their head.

    AFl do not want us to  get too many games ahead..

    need to stop kicking down the line to their talls who are intercepting everything. This is exactly what we want opposition teams to do when max is playing. How dumb, pass it around. Sparrow does some good things but has not idea about moving the ball quickly, he has had multiple opportunities to do a short kick down the line to a free player but holds it up and does a long kick down the line. Must admit the umpiring is pretty poor, tex's ruck free for blocking was a disgrace, we see their ruckman putting their arms around our ruckman and throwing them out of the way but thats ok. Ben Brown is being manhandled as is oliver and they are getting nothing. We have far too many players who have done absolutely nothing they need to lift. the coach needs to remind them that we have players in the VFL that are ready to take their place.

    The lack of quality ruckman huge factor. No Jackson or Gawn any team would struggle. It one of those 4 points games we have to tough out. Crows at home no easy assignment but a loss here will hurt season prospect big time. Damn injuries

    Anyone ask Bedford what he was thinking!!!
    55 metres out - burning off his opponent - open 50 - open goal square …

    and kicks 40 metres to the pocket where no one is. Really defies any level of thinking ?!?!?!

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • 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.

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?

      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.
