    Worst half of footy for the year 

    worst than v lions 

    worst than v bombers 

    worst than v port 

    overhandballing is horrible 

    ineffective inside 50

    going wide going wide and wide 

    Best. Ummm Trac and lots of others just going ok. 

    Viney. Kozzzy. Chin. Do something!!! And Spargo is a negative 

    What happened to Chandler? Is he being tagged? A shell of his former self, had a great 5-6 rounds to start the year.

    Any chance we try and go fast and direct through the corridor?

    That involves winning the clearances. So no.

    Why does Kozzy seem to be on a rollercoaster every game?.

    One spectacular goal, or play. Then 10 minutes of zero impact or involvement.

    💯

    It's a scrap. Grundy's two shot should be goals. Similarly, Harmes.

    Midfield is ineffective with Viney being tagged, Tracc quiet that quarter.

    The secondary midfield not really cutting it.

    Story of our season

    Same at Casey

    Boring team to watch save for 2021 finals series

    This is a soft effort from us.

    Viney and Lever really need to lift.

    Jv no disposals last quarter.  A grand two touches for a half.

    Jacko best on hound. Great work Dees.

    Can Tmac lay a tackle just once please.

    Meantime JJ can’t buy a game.

    2 half backlines dominating, both teams struggling to find much cohesion between wing and half forward. Not a pretty game to watch. 

    I don't understand the modern interpretation of a push in the back. In 2/3 of contested marking, someone is shoving the person in front forward and it is not paid. Gawn does it a lot, and cops it a lot. 

    Early today in this thread I mentioned handballing, tackling, and F50 efficiency. Tackling = tick. The other 2 are the mess they have been all year.

    Any chance Goodwin's could give up like Hardwick

    It's a strange feeling when Reddit is the best option for a rational discussion of something. The game day threads here are something else.

    it’s shocker, isn’t it. It’s got real Sunday afternoon 4;20pm game, circa 2014, feels. 

    That's exactly how it feels and it shouldn't. We are a top 4 team playing a team out of the 8 and should be comfortably winning. 

    All I can think is what Collingwood will do to us in 2 weeks time

    We’ve had numerous opportunities when we’ve won the ball off half back.

    A dreadful game - we have no zip at all, absolutely flat. Freo are terrible also - the Pies would have put these guys to bed already. 
     

    Not sure where our lift is going to come from, but it doesn’t bode well for the rest of the year.

    How so?

    Strating to forget the last time Kozzie tore a game apart.

    I think it was before he was suspended.

    Been a while.

    Sadly Chandler following his lead.

    Our forward line is 6tuffed.

    And tried to take a mark 1 hander. He doesn't do enough 

    Let’s try for the first 10 minutes of the 3/4 kamakzi run and gun, fast ball movement , play on at all costs to an open fwd line with Fritsch coming out of the square, Chandler and Kosi 25-30 metres out in opposite pockets.

    Disposal efficiency says it all

    Dees 69% vs 79% Freo

    Yep our skills are terrible. Handballs and short kicking going astray. Need to rectify in the 2nd half or we are in big trouble. We also over use the ball when under pressure instead of getting a quick kick into the forwards. Hate to be a forward in this team.

    He needs to be coached. 

    Learn some more footy smarts Kozzy, stop trying to do the flashy stuff.

    You wonder what they do over the preseason? Plenty of time to work on skills...🤔🤔🤔

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
