Will take that finish to the half any day of the week. We are getting skinned on the outside at the moment.

I cannot figure out why they are bouncing off so many tackles, we're winning the tackle count but there just isn't enough wrapping up.

To win this we will probably need to make it a score from clearances game. I'm on level 4 on the Wing so have a very good view of structure and setup. Kozzie was in the middle for the first bounce and no others. His pace at ground level can't be ignored, it WILL give them problems. Get him in there more for the love of God. 

And note to  opposition teams match day entertainment. No one cares for the are you paying attention thing, I'm trying to write this.

    It’s too risky to activate the sub this early. If we cop an injury we are in trouble. 
    They won’t make the change until late in the third at the earliest.

    Can someone explain why they think Kossie should be a midfielder?

    Because he wins the footy, pressures the opposition and is a decent kick going inside 50.

    Can you explain why he shouldn't be?

    Tigers are playing very good footy. Unfortunately Harmes missed those two shots at goal - he kicks those and his game looks very different. As it is he is worst on ground.

    Oooof what a mess.

    61pts against us, so far, in a half. Our backline is a mess and has been for a while. What happened to our fortress?

    Typical for us to serve this [censored] after port and the lions open up an avenue to second place. 

    And what the hell was that from Gus??

    Kozzie back in the middle, just get Harmes to tag somebody, best use we can get from him, and EVERYBODY PULL THEIR FINGERS OUT and stop giving them cheap goals.

    The fortress is exhausted from saving their ars#s time after time week after week.

    It is inevitable

    And you forgot one important thing. He has PACE

    Without Clarry and Sparrow we are very one dimensional. Gus, Viney and JJ aren’t fast.

    If it went south he might be in jail.

    No “might” about it. Very serious charges, and previous form. Have there been any other examples of someone playing who’s out on bail?

    45 metres out on the run.  Players free and …

    miskick to tigers player. Ffs !!!

    He has been so slow all day.

     


    Kozzie won the first few centre clearances at the start of the match then goody put him in the forward line. 

    He creates something 

    We have to get on top in the contest. The only way to beat the Richmond chaos ball, is to get your hands on the ball more and first.

    Also because we are struggling for options in this department.

    Must get on top in the middle. If we invite too many defensive entries they are going to stuff us.

    Richmond kaos ball going i50 is showing up May and Lever, who both cannot bend over to get the ball. Their small/med forwards tearing up up

    Very damm simple he has no tank put him in for a full quarter and that's him, great speed in short bursts and sometimes that's how some players are, then they become a liability sooner him stay inside the 50 metre arc more dangerous.

    Melksham really struggles to play more than one good game in a row. Now it's three. Chandler only one good act. Jvr has been okay but needs to hold more marks.

     

    Tigers are desperately playing for their finals chances. We really have to step up in the second half. 

    Well this is the quarter we will see if we want a flag more than these pretenders want to scrape into the eight.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      There was a time during the current Melbourne cycle that goes back to before the premiership when the club was the toughest to beat in the fourth quarter. The Demons were not only hard to beat at any time but it was virtually impossible to get the better them when scores were close at three quarter time. It was only three or four years ago but they were fit, strong and resilient in body and mind. Sadly, those days are over. This has been the case since the club fell off its pedestal about 12 months ago after it beat Geelong and then lost to Carlton. In both instances, Melbourne put together strong, stirring final quarters, one that resulted in victory, the other, in defeat. Since then, the drop off has been dramatic to the point where it can neither pull off victory in close matches, nor can it even go down in defeat  gallantly.

    • CASEY: Footscray

      At twenty-four minutes into the third term of the game between the Casey Demons and Footscray VFL at Whitten Oval, the visitors were coasting. They were winning all over the ground, had the ascendancy in the ruck battles and held a 26 point lead on a day perfect for football. What could go wrong? Everything. The Bulldogs moved into overdrive in the last five minutes of the term and booted three straight goals to reduce the margin to a highly retrievable eight points at the last break. Bouyed by that effort, their confidence was on a high level during the interval and they ran all over the despondent Demons and kicked another five goals to lead by a comfortable margin of four goals deep into the final term before Paddy Cross kicked a couple of too late goals for a despondent Casey. A testament to their lack of pressure in the latter stages of the game was the fact that Footscray’s last ten scoring shots were nine goals and one rushed behind. Things might have been different for the Demons who went into the game after last week’s bye with 12 AFL listed players. Blake Howes was held over for the AFL game but two others, Jack Billings and Taj Woewodin (not officially listed as injured) were also missing and they could have been handy at the end. Another mystery of the current VFL system.

    • 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.
