Zanker needs to get into this game

She's very uncharacteristically off her game tonight.

 

But damn Adelaide's tackling pressure is top notch!

    We’re getting a lot of the ball. And their pressure isn’t as effective as it usually is and we’re absorbing it beautifully. I reckon we’ve got this.

    GO DEES!!!

    We’re +2 Clearances and +7 Contested possessions.  Who cares if we’re losing the tackle count.

    West and Gillard are great for second year players.  Fitzsimmon had some important contests in the last 5 minutes.

    Two things

    Liv Purcell is showing why we got her to the club. probably BOG at half time.

    Gillard is bloody tall and coordinated and can kick. In years to come she could be a game changer

    I’m hoping my girl Zanks has a better second half.  🤞🏼 


    If it wasn’t fro their fullback we would be well ahead.

    Need someone to take her away from the game, a defensive forward would do.

    Was hoping Georgia Campbell would debut tonight, was an emergency, so must be close

    Needs better disposal efficiency and decision-making I reckon. Though gives us a great in and under and loves getting the ball.

    The same with West.

    Agree on both counts

    Gillard can mark, use the ball well, great composure and is always in the right position. I think we've found a real player

    The Hatchard love-fest is a little annoying. 50th game, yeah. But also Tayla’s 50th!

    “The three-headed monster in the Dees midfield” LOVE IT! ❤️💙

    Good footy, looking for that central corridor, and getting in 50 marks.

    We have to kick goals if we are to benefit from our dominance.

    Crows more efficient inside 50 the difference

    Daisy and Hanks, good time for a goal, keeps the momentum.

    Libby Birch can play

     

    one more here would be nice

    • 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.
