What is going on with Viney? We are playing a man down.

    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.

    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 

    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.

    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...🤔🤔🤔

    • 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.

      It’s game day and the Demons are chasing a fourth straight win as we take on the high flying Hawks at the G. After decades of being tormented by the Hawks the Dees will be keen to extend their 7 year dominance over Hawthorn.

    • NON-MFC: Round 09

      Round 9 kicks off out west with the Dockers hosting a Collingwood side resting several stars. Fremantle need to make a statement on their home deck after some disappointing form on the road, while the Magpies will be keen to maintain their Top 2 position. Friday night sees a must-win clash between two sides desperate to stay in touch with the eight. St Kilda have shown glimpses while Carlton are clinging to relevance after a flat start to the season. Saturday’s twilight game at Marvel pits the Bombers against a struggling Sydney outfit. Essendon can’t afford another close match against a lower-ranked side, while the Swans risk sliding down the ladder even further. Up in Darwin, the fourth-placed Suns will look to extend their stay in the top four. The Bulldogs have hit their stride with three big wins on the trot and will be very keen to consolidate on their momentum. The always fiery Showdown looms as pivotal for both clubs. Adelaide are eyeing a spot in the Top 4 with a win, while Port Adelaide’s season could slip away if they drop another game and fall further behind the pack. Sunday begins with a yawn fest between Richmond and West Coast. The Tigers need to bank the points to stay clear of the bottom two, while the Eagles are still chasing their first win of the year. The Giants face one of the league’s toughest road trips as they travel to GMHBA Stadium to face the Cats. With GWS at risk of a third straight loss, Geelong will be eager to consolidate their position inside the eight and start their climb up the ladder. The round wraps up with the top-of-the-table Lions heading to Ninja Stadium to take on the second-last Roos. The Lions should easily take care of the struggling Roos who might be powerless against the best in the comp. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?
