The main reason is that our form is not anywhere it needs to be. Our pressure has been down all season not just the last 7 weeks. Pressure the Dogs and we can beat them. if not they’ll get their handball game going and carve is up.

Our forward 50 connection hasn’t been existent for the the whole year and now we are missing our two KPF and have to rely on Weid that has failed to meet any expectation in the AFL repeatedly over the last number of years. So the slow ball movement will allow Dogs to flood and Weid will have no chance.


Our game plan has also been found out and the coaches have no real plan B that we have seen. They will exploit our zoning probably by tagging one of May or Lever this will lead to the predictable rebound.
 

Both of our big men have been pretty poor since the bye and we are fumbly in the back half. English is getting better and I think will outrun Maxy. LJ is not impacting the game either.

 

I can keep going but you get the point. yes there are positives and I do see that but am highlighting the reasons why I don’t think we can get up tonight. 

 

relax, this is some kind of psychosis going on.

It’s a flat & inconsistent time of year for most teams. 

We have won 3 out of the last 4.

Obviously we don't want to lose Lever but Tomlinson was unlucky to get dropped after last week anyway so glad to see him get another run.

Chandler was the sub a few times last year, I don't think it's that crazy. Who else would you have, Dunstan?

To be fair we don’t have any talls left. Who would you want to be the sub?

We have enough smaller guys to cover for midfield injuries.

Hoping we move the ball with plenty of angle, so we aren't predictable with the corridor we take and to give the forwards more options to lead into. Hate the straight done the line unless it is quick movement.

Our backline has been working well, not so concerned without lever, it's the forwards that need to inspire.

How great under the roof on such a wet, cold night.

Did I hear a dogs player say that Naughton would be a great player in a top side.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.
