Another classic game day thread

I really hate how we capitulate in quarters. It’s one thing to do against good teams. It’s embarrassing to do it against a side that doesn’t even want to win.Ā 

 

I am furious after watching that quarter. Allowing the Hawks to play like that is inexcusable.Ā 

Fumbling.Ā 

Fritsch - what is going on? Does he need a spell at Casey?

And if I see another handball to a team mate's feet I will scream.Ā 


Made to look ordinary by the 2nd last team on the ladder.

They had control in the centre easily.

Lift Dees FFS!!!!!!

Ā 

Hunter, Chandler, Spargo, Fritsch, Sparrow quiet quartersĀ 

Edited by layzie


There’s lots of seagulls here tonight.Ā 

Why they waited til that quarter to play the ā€˜How to beat Melbourne’ method, who knows. They aren’t good enough to make it last of course, and don’t haveĀ the efficiency, but boy does it show once more how we can lose control of the game when ANY team plays that way. Troubling…..

Hopefully we saved the best for last. Hawks turned up the intensity that quarterĀ 


Chandler needs to find a way to get involved.Ā 

Langers and ANB are not in very good form.

Wrested back control when Max went in ruck.

Tracc and Oliver good.

Petty off messes up structure.


Ā 

Cos I guess we’re going to eek a win v 18th??

  • PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

    With both sides precariously positioned ahead of the run home to the finals, only one team involved in Sunday’s clash at the Adelaide Oval between the Power and the Demons will remain a contender when it’s over.Ā  On current form, that one team has to be Melbourne which narrowly missed out on defeating the competition’s power house Collingwood on King's Birthday and also recently overpowered both 2024 Grand Finalists. Conversely, Port Adelaide snapped out of a four-game losing streak with a win against the Giants in Canberra. Although they will be rejuvenated following that victory, their performances during that run of losses were sub par and resulted in some embarrassing blow out defeats.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    The media focus on the fieryĀ interaction between Max Gawn and Steven MayĀ at the end of the gameĀ was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

  • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

    The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?
