    Petracca is having a bog of a game and not the good kind.

    Worst game since he had the flu game last year.

    Odds are his second half will be better seems to be a pattern

    I wouldn’t trouble the word “seriously” in this instance. 
     

    But I am more and more of the opinion that a lot of Kozzie’s issues stem from not being coached well enough.

    Of course I’m not happy. 
     

    But the modern league is very competitive these days, and even teams who are low on the ladder find pockets of excellent form. I don’t see it as “Demons are being showed-up by duds”

    I agree with you completely. The comp is probably the most even it has ever been. 

    BUT they lost their best mid just before the game, we are nearly full strength. A top 4, recent premier, hopeful premier again. The only reason this is an arm wrestle is because we have been very poor, not because they have set the world on fire. If they had, I’d agree that we are just battling with a team on fire and nothing to lose. 

    We likely win this, and should, and tbf will need to as I’m not confident about beating the swans over there in the last. So it’s super important we come out in the second half significantly less bad. Hopefully good! 

    But you’re right. The hawks ain’t bad at all they’re building a good team. I just remember many, many losses to them, and would very much like that not to continue for another 5 years at least haha

    This has just been sloppy by us.

    Mids getting crushed except for Jvr.

    Poor skills and some very poor decisions.

     

    God i hate this Hawthorn dirt bag of a team....hope we beat em by 1 point.

    Oskar Baker and Hugh Greenwood story made the throat lumpy..

    Really think that goes for the forward line....

    Hawks cutting our zone up with deft short kicks and good delivery I50. They've been doing that to us for years

    We are guarding grass and their chip kicks are making us defend. But it's hard chasing tail all day. 

     

    Need to go man on man for a while,  control the footy,  make them run AND KICK STRAIGHT FFS

    Spot on but it's not a good pattern .

    Laurie has contributed way more than Kossie but guess who will get dropped first.


    Just observing our lack of pressure when the Hawks have the ball. The umps call play on & our players don't move. 

    Then some of our players haven't bothered to man up and are just walking along the ground

    Hope it wafts into the Hawks dressing rooms. 

    We would have been better with Grundy instead of Gawn today so far. Reeves is cleaning him up.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
