Five Key Questions 

1- The Gawn injury update? By Monday we hope to have some answers. (Can we thrive with Grundy as sole ruckman  )

2- Smashed in the clearances. Smashed!! How? Why?
Lost clearances 30-60. Centre clearances 10-20. Stoppages 20-40. You cannot win in those numbers. 

3- Harmesy. Career worst game. I don’t like to single individuals but wow he was bad. How? Why? Tackling was terrible. Disposal poor.  Fumbled all night. Didn’t tag so ineffective. Metres gained 40. Frees against 4.  He cannot stay in. 

4- Poor coaching or players ignoring strategy.  Why did we play the slow and stop and wide ball movement game. Who’s coaching this? Simply allowed Lions to block the passages to goal. When we moved the footy quickly and ran, we were dangerous (especially in the last 11 minutes). 

5- How good was Lachie Hunter? Very good. He was smart and creative. Looked to score and add extra defensive and attacking runs. Very good addition. Langdon looked out of sorts but Hunter proudly represented the Wingers club 

On the second point Yze is the midfield coach did nothing while the onslaught went on in the first quarter.

Third point Harmes is to slow with not great footy IQ

Point four, it has a lot to do with disposals we are poor at kicking over an oppositions head when there is 10 metre space in-between them and us, players not spreading in the forward line we just bombed it in again.

But I wonder whether they have the guts to drop, Harmes, Tmac and Melk and bring in some youth.

Usually it's up within the hour, at least in my experience.

An excellent podcast as always!

Thank you for answering my questions @Demonland.

 

Hopefully the match committee gives in to the "pressure" from all of us here at Demonland and selects Jacob van Rooyen in the Melbourne side against Sydney.

 

 

Time to unleash the Rooster!

 

GO DEMONS!!! 🔴🔵👹

The reaction to the DL social media and complaining about the 4 - 6 was hilarious. Anyone who understands sport and was watching on Fri knew that this was a blessing of a result.
