We waste so many chances going forward

we should not be relying on free kick to win this, we need to rely on our field kicking, our kicking is pretty poor. The team is putting in the hard yards around the ground but then turning it over. we need to stop that switch, quite a few times they switch to langdons wing they get a kick at goal. Where are out players on that side of the ground where is their accountability. We need to strong last quarter to show then who is the better team. we have a few players who are down who need to lift, ANB is certainly one.

Confident?

Not really. The Pies have their tails up and we looked under serious pressure for pretty much that whole quarter. 

But I'm holding hope that they spent all their tickets in that quarter, and rode their luck. It has to run out, right?

WE HAVE TO MAKE THE MOST OF OUR OPPORTUNITIES INSIDE 50!!!!

I'm getting really sick of our players stopping, trying to take on 2 tacklers, then handballing over their heads. Collingwood's pressure is too good for this and we are turning it over to their runners too many times. ANB in particular is driving me nuts.

Also Max, and BBB should be allowing midfielders to pick it up off the ground. 

And if I see the Pies get 1 more mark  within 20 metres of goal I will freak out. 

Having said all that I still reckon we are the better side at this point.

Nibbler is garbage. Everytime we try and transition our way through he feels the need to completely stop in his own tracks and take the tackler on. 

So infuriating

Maxy please stop kicking mate

Stop kicking to pockets, open the forward line up, Jesus we are predictable.

We are in trouble here. We won’t win this in a close one. Pies are full of confidence. We are playing what can only be described as brain dead football.

If you were a neutral you'd say Collingwood are poised to pinch this. We need to raise our game to change the narrative.

Can't remember Viney's last touch.

Double the inside 50s yet only a goal up. 

Get it in quick and our defence is caught napping, They are always on the move.

We need to be willing to risk a few things this last quarter. Our system is seemingly choking our instinct atm, we have very little dare.

Has Quanore been on Kozzie most of the night?  If so he's probably had the better of him so far

Yes I think we need one set of fresh legs 

Posted

We are toast I think, pies evened out the contest which was our advantage, now they getting more supply they over run us

Anb and others are forcing a stoppage by receiving the tackle. Creates lots of stoppages and clearances 

But not using it well at all

HARVEY WALLBANGER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Absent: Salem, Windsor (word is a foot rash going around), Viney, Bowey and Kentfield Train ons: Roy George, no Culley today.

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force as the Demons returned to Gosch's Paddock for preseason training on Wednesday morning. GHOSTWRITER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Kozzie a no show. Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
