What's happened to Kozzys dare and speed? Been very irrelevant for weeks now.

    Observations:

    - they’re taking almost every contested mark, which means we can’t retain ball

    - it’s turnover city for us. Crazy. 

    - ground feels like it’s 15 x 20 with straight wings (literally, straight)

    - no room

    No. Just cold and confused why he’s in Geelong.

    Don't blame him. Imagine playing to packed stadiums every week then walking into that dump of a half Auskick sized ground

    Not called out by the commentator despite them showing the replay. Contact with injured players was banned was it not. Should get looked at but probably won't because he returned to the field.

    Lucky it’s started raining. Cats skills and defensive marking was killing us. Bit of rain nullifies it. Plus, we piled on goals against Port up there in the wet. Frustrating to watch what we’ve become in 2023. Just a bottom 8 level side.

    The scrapping onto Tracc and Gawn is pure Scott. 

    How they both haven’t received 3-4 frees each is beyond me. Lay a finger on a cat and whistle goes immediately

    Not sure what Kosi offers. Cannot win a one on one 

    Bit hard when you are 5' and they kick it 9' in the air

    Did we fly across yesterday to train? Doesn’t look like it!! 

    Anyway despite being terrible, we’re only a goal or so down. It’s annoying because the cats aren’t even playing that well! It’s just that they’re not making as many dumb decisions as us. Better skills and capitalising off our errors.

    If we sharpen up, we will win this.

    Agree if we get to normal disposal for a VFL side, let alone AFL.


    Are we actually ever going to play like a top 4 side? Our skills are the worst i’ve seen in a while..

    Just quietly we have 6 frees they have 2

    I think so. All over them. Just need to steady and find some space.

    BS

    Rivers called for it and then made a weak attempt at marking

    Rivers called for it mostly stationary and Gus hit it out in front for Blicavs to intercept. Rivers never had a chance. Had Rivers gone harder he’s still not 200cm, the ball still would’ve been out of reach, Blicavs spoils anyway.

    Theres a fundamental game plan issue that players don’t move in and out of space in a coordinated effort to get the ball on the move.

    But if you are going to kick in to the corridor it has to be low and flat and Gus simply doesn’t have that kick. 


    We're slow to move the ball,  turning it over, kicking to outnumbers, letting them switch at will,  letting them chip into their fwd line whilst we bomb the ball high to a 4 on 1

     

    Wtf have they been doing over the break?

    Frankly win or lose, I have had a gutful of pigheaded Goodwin and bombing it into our forwards. 2 years this damn issue can't be fixed.  Kozzie needs to get going or drop him. 

     

    Viney, Tracc, Grundy, Smith & Fritta ✅️

    May, Hibbo, Lever holding up.  Petty getting to contests but rusty with hands.  To be expected given time away and conditions. Spoiling well though ✅️

    Hunter doing ok on his side ✅️

    Lingers i would bench for much of this quarter for Gus.  Reset message for Lingers needed at the break.  Terrible.

    Kozzy was nowhere near it that quarter.  Chandler was on the bench for the most part it seemed?

    • NON-MFC: Round 06

      The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.
