We can play much better, whether Geelong can is another question

    Back to basics

    We got away with breaking through tackles against brissy but it's not the go tonight 

    Will the umps keep it consistent and pay the tackles the other way?

    Gee our backline has the wobbles at the moment.


    They’re smashing us on rebound. Their kicking skills are good. We’re holding up fine in the air, but once it’s on the ground or running we’re struggling. Missing Hunt or Rivers to lock down more on those types of attacks. Hibberd is ok, but Bowey and Salem aren’t great at defending. They’re both offensive options.

    Are we playing who can hold the ball the longest?

    get rid of it on the first option. May might as well have not played at this point. 
     

     

    We need to take the first option, not fend off Hollywood style and get caught....how many times this quarter?

    Rough after one contest that suited the bigger guy. Let’s see Tuohy get him if Bedford gets it in space.

    Cats are experienced and strong bodied  team. Need to stop trying to break tackles and take Hollywood options. Back to basics, first option football when the pressure is on.

    Steven May is genuinely killing us!

    How about more time focusing on your game Maysey and less time spraying other blokes.

    Thought viney had learnt but alas let's take everyone on again, same with harmes.

    This is how Geelong have such a good home ground advantage. We seem so confused with the lack of space on wings. Everything is compressed and we can't play our regular game style.

    Went to ground and cost a goal earlier in the quarter. He was good against Brisbane, but wasn’t great last week and was close to worst on ground that first quarter. He’ll need to lift or he’ll be dropped again.

    Bit harsh

    Bedford 69kg v Touhy 91kg

    not sure he will win any body on body contest if he stays on him. Let’s see how he goes for the rest of the game?


    Why are our players falling over? Seen at least 10 times our player has fallen over. Cats staying on their feet.

    1st quarter 

    stupidity abounds.  Harmes May Oliver Viney. Take the first option. Turned into trouble. Fended tackler ??! This is not v the Kangas.   Not sharp.  Lucky to be even.

    Bowey.  Ummm. Hmmmm.
     
    Trac 😄

    Twice Bedford getting caught out in a marking contest with a bigger player that quarter. What goes on there?

    Playing a small forward line has this consequence 

     

    We are playing Geelong. They are experienced & don't miss any tackles.

    Our players need to remember that

    Really wish we brought one of Hunt/Rivers in.

    • GAMEDAY: Richmond

      It's Game Day on Friday night. ANZAC Eve. The big stage at the ‘G. The Demons return to the spotlight for one of our most significant nights on the football calendar, taking on the Tigers in a clash that always carries extra weight given the gravity of occasion of the commemoration of the ANZAC Spirit. Under the lights, in front of a packed house, this is where moments are made. Can the Dees rise to the occasion and deliver on the big stage, or will Richmond spoil the night? All the build-up, discussion, and in-game reactions here. Go Dees.

    • NON-MFC: Round 7

      Round 7 is here, with the ANZAC commemoration games taking centre stage. Who are you tipping this week, and which results would be most favourable for the Demons?

    • PREVIEW: Richmond

      Who would have imagined, when the season kicked off early last month, that Melbourne would emerge from the opening six weeks with wins over both Queensland powerhouses? At the time, Gold Coast and Brisbane were the competition’s early pace-setters, the flavours of the month, and the prospect of the Demons toppling both within the course of a fortnight seemed remote. Yet here they are, banking those scalps alongside home victories over two traditional Victorian rivals and building a quietly impressive resume.

      The Dees hit the big Friday night stage for the first and only time this season when they take on the Tigers under lights on ANZAC Eve at the G. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • REPORT: Brisbane

      Before Sunday, the last time the Brisbane Lions had walked onto the turf of the Melbourne Cricket Ground, they celebrated the pinnacle of the sport - an AFL premiership secured in emphatic fashion for the second consecutive year.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      From the outset, the Casey Demons lacked any spring in their steps. They were out-hustled and out-bustled and finally outplayed by the Brisbane Lions by 38 points on their home turf in perfect conditions at Casey Fields.
