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.

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 .

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.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE
