    Petracca a liability todayĀ

    Just now, leave it to deever said:

    We actually won the clearances in the 2nd but got smashed with our ball use.

    Sparrow's the one for me in the middle that needs to get going.

    Jv looks a little off, agreed.

    Yes forgot about Sparrow.Ā  His reaction time looks pedestrian against the best clubs at times under heat.

    Needs to speed things up and drive those legs out of congestion more.

    Petty needs a block of games to see if he can settle in.Ā  Switching him back now is pointless as you're admitting defeat before you've given it a decent go.

    Ok so if we're up by 15 plus with 3 minutes to go that's diff.Ā  Then you might throw him (among others) behind the ball

    I think throwing him back for match ups is ok.

    They have 3 tall forwards, although only started with two on field. If we put him back to cover the third, I've no problem with that change, wouldn't think it was admitting defeat.

    Ā 

    Sydney certainly had more control in that quarter. A small crumbing forward would be handy.Ā 

    good first half. Swans are top 4 team and have the wood on us.Ā 

    keep up the intensity and tidy up kicking and we will win this

    Its nothing to do with that its the clearance battle and the cleaner ball theyre getting into forward 50 vs our spasmodic clearances and dirtty ball going in thereafter.

    The day we can spread from a clearance then drive it forward finding a leading forward almost directly in front on occasions will be a refreshing change.

    Chandler, Spargo & Tracc really need to get on their bikes big time in this second half.

    JV's in pretty bad form so far.Ā  Looks sluggish, trying to do too much and getting caught....alot.

    P.S. Kozzy out is such a killer.Ā 

    Ā He should go back to late season 21 where his first option was pass it off he has gone back to captain tackled he doesn't have good footy IQ.

    Death, taxes and the person that wants to tell everyone if you read the gameday thread you wouldn't know we're in front.Ā

    I donā€™t think Oliver has had the greatest starts to the year but I feel much more confident in his set shot goal kicking.Ā

    Swans looking much better when they stop playing dirty football and just get on with the game. Losing it when they start their dirty, feux tuff guy rubbish.Ā

    And people complaining about Clarry not being damaging enough despite having heaps of it, leading our metres gained and contested possessions and scored involvements including kicking a couple of goals.

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Caseyā€™s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckmanā€™s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demonsā€™ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

    • POSTGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
