Need to cut off the corridor and watch for the switch. As long as Collingwood are able to move the ball they will get chances. They would really fancy themselves right now

 

Kozzie needs to get his hands on the ball more

need to cover the switches, that is what killed us last time we played, we are still playing better than them, and agreed we should be a few more goals ahead as we have had a few easy misses. Need to keep going, need to improve our accuracy going forward. some of those long shots probably should have had a player or two provide a lead as an alternative. hopefully the 3rd will be our best quarter again so that we can draw well clear of them.

It is interesting that Cox was called for sticking his knee into gawn and a few bounces later did the same thing. this is a blatent free kneeing a player who is going for the ball.

 

Gawn fantastic in the Air.  Work rate A1.  Kicking .... 🤪

A couple of the goals Pies have kicked came after we missed a goal so two goal turnarounds.  So there's your seven goal lead.


Goodwin was furious a few times on the bench, not happy with manning up or corridor footy. And rightly so.

Also, we have 2 goals from 50m penalties (which I hate when they are borderline). 

The reason they are so efficient is they are getting a lot of shots from pretty-much directly in front, except for a couple of flukes off packs. We have to push their F50 entries much wider to change their goal efficiency.

Why is it that the Pies small forwards always have so much space and Kossie has to work his way through a cast of thousands.

Those loose ball goals are a concern. 

That said, pressure through the middle is there.

Piggy & Petty spoiling each other in that last marking contest / spilled ball goal was unfortunate.  Happens in big games though

Loved that chase by Hunt.  Was a mile off and they looked like they were going to waltz in and slam it through for a goal, but Hunt's chase and pressure they kicked to the square and it got rushed through or something.

Exactly the sort of act which will see him hold his place in the team.

Because we always kick it to the same pocket.

Gawn and Brayshaw - outstanding.

I see players asking for the ball but our players seem to be blind to that, just keep bombing it!

Desperately need a 2nd tall to improve our structure/efficiency. 

Just wish they would look in board in the forward line there was at least times players on their own across the ground that could have walked into goal.


Kozzie needs to stay down for the crumb. I don’t have the best view, but he seems to be flying in packs repeatedly for some reason.

Love Brayshaw in the middle

More of that please.

Cracker of a game 

Stop kicking to the pockets

everyone stop flying for marks in the pockets ok?

couple Of times - Jackson and brown - ignored streaming runners top of 50 right in front and elected to kick to pockets instead

 

Fix cr-p decision making and we win this

we need a KPF like McKay king etc who can rake marks and an epic CHF

As my 3yo says “caaaarrrect”


Yeah we are going a bit bomb crazy, it may seem like the safe option but every time they get a defensive mark the have the chance to release. We need to be aiming to lock the ball in and closing off exits.

One was pretty much after a basic Maxy miss (again).  11 point turnaround.

They don't waste time kicking in.  Their aim is to get the short chip kick to the pocket where possible then switch with a quick medium into the middle if possible.

41 Inside 50s to 18 ....we need to be kicking at least 2 to 3 more on that.  Most have been decent coming inside aside from Maxy's obsession kicking to the near side pocket....and Jordan's poor decision making/execution.

 

Part of me is worried about how easily they've been able to score against us, but seriously, some of the goals have been the Pies taking their chances, but others have been soft frees and the others just arsey goals. No way they sustain that, or replicate it if they play us again in the finals.

We just need to do what we do best and be a little creative going forward (a little less to the pockets) to make sure we capitalise on our dominance!

Big third quarter, let's step on it.

Get it right

none of our goals are from undeserved free kicks

but every one of theirs is just arze or umpires making an error

 

 

well I believe this   Stuff the rest of you

  • REPORT: Carlton

    I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

  • CASEY: Carlton

    The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

  • POSTGAME: Carlton

    A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
