Where so far off our best footy it’s not funny just need to hope we get over the line somehow. It really is hard to believe where reigning premiers and second on the ladder at the moment. 

Yup, said in a group chat, we have 5 games coming up and can easily lose them all. We haven’t been great all year, we have had great qtrs etc and got wins, but overall been good, but not great and if we play like we have been, including today, we are making up numbers.

 

Melky is done as an afl player,play a kid with potential rather than a burnt out hack

Love it.  Everyone of the 65000 members can see it!! Goodwin??? They both need a fuc@)$$(t rocket.  

Because he's Goody mate lol. Gotta look after your mates out there.

The Bedford selection is just utter bizarre 

BB is playing well. It’s not his fault we don’t have a player in the team who can hit him on the goddamn chest when he’s leading at the ball…

Fritta i would drop you if Tmac wasn't injured burnt another player in the goalsquare.

He is doing some selfish things of late.

I think his last two errors (pulling the kick from a set shot and playing on to handball to a teammate under pressure) was him trying to make amends for that early burn.

Just needs to play smart..

This is the truth. Talk loading, injuries and other stuff all we want but we qre simply not playing well enough right now.

Yes BBB was on the move clear of Aliir and Salem kicked it short i50 to Aliir's advantage 🤷

BBB getting marks in the wing and CHF. Need him inside 50 kicking goals. It’s our lack of Tmcd or a CHF that’s a killer !!

Weid or JVR would have been a better selection than Bedford.

It’s a shame cause his skills are sublime.

He’ll come into the game in the second half…. *casually crosses fingers*

We are butchering the ball, and I think the harder ground is making then ball bounce with higher variation because of it. So many fumbles from both clubs, from players who usually have clean hands. I don't understand the poor kicking though. So many unpressured kicks missing targets by a long way.

Our forward pressure is back on which is good, and our forward system is at last showing early signs of organisation, but it would be good to have someone actually taking a contested mark for a shot on goal. 

Sparrow has such a huge upside, but he is quickly becoming a momentum killer. Some of his decision making is outright poor. 

I thought Harmes, Trac, Langdon & Kozzie lifted well that quarter.

100%. Salem missed him by 10 metres

He’s also playing a heap of time in in the middle of the ground

edit: by middle I mean wings not on the ball

Edited by —coach—

Liked Tomlinson today. Playing well.

Kozzie's been electri

Sparrow and Rivers working hard.

BBB doing some good things.

Dislike Petracca playing like a millionaire.

Mindless bombs into forwardline.

Maybe @bing181 can explain? You're big advocate for his selection. 

I never advocated for his selection, nor for any player for that matter. I tried to understand the reasoning behind his call-up, from those who are paid to make those decisions.

Don’t know how you play well when you have a certain amount of injuries and are loading. Form isn’t a magical thing. It is often explainable.

  • REPORT: Hawthorn

    There was a time during the current Melbourne cycle that goes back to before the premiership when the club was the toughest to beat in the fourth quarter. The Demons were not only hard to beat at any time but it was virtually impossible to get the better them when scores were close at three quarter time. It was only three or four years ago but they were fit, strong and resilient in body and mind. Sadly, those days are over. This has been the case since the club fell off its pedestal about 12 months ago after it beat Geelong and then lost to Carlton. In both instances, Melbourne put together strong, stirring final quarters, one that resulted in victory, the other, in defeat. Since then, the drop off has been dramatic to the point where it can neither pull off victory in close matches, nor can it even go down in defeat  gallantly.

  • CASEY: Footscray

    At twenty-four minutes into the third term of the game between the Casey Demons and Footscray VFL at Whitten Oval, the visitors were coasting. They were winning all over the ground, had the ascendancy in the ruck battles and held a 26 point lead on a day perfect for football. What could go wrong? Everything. The Bulldogs moved into overdrive in the last five minutes of the term and booted three straight goals to reduce the margin to a highly retrievable eight points at the last break. Bouyed by that effort, their confidence was on a high level during the interval and they ran all over the despondent Demons and kicked another five goals to lead by a comfortable margin of four goals deep into the final term before Paddy Cross kicked a couple of too late goals for a despondent Casey. A testament to their lack of pressure in the latter stages of the game was the fact that Footscray’s last ten scoring shots were nine goals and one rushed behind. Things might have been different for the Demons who went into the game after last week’s bye with 12 AFL listed players. Blake Howes was held over for the AFL game but two others, Jack Billings and Taj Woewodin (not officially listed as injured) were also missing and they could have been handy at the end. Another mystery of the current VFL system.

  • PREGAME: Brisbane

    The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

    Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.
