The tall defenders are going to be a worry with this run and gun system. Lever has brain farts, May gets nervous under pressure and the Tug Boat can’t move the feet quick enough to evade pressure, nor can he defend. 

Then they can get used to it if they are so good. 

What’s the point in having generational defenders if we are going to have a gameplan designed around protecting them?

Run.

Gun.

I agree and there weren’t too many defensive errors, the problem was when they had the ball that still needs work

Hard to judge with a team playing first touch of the year against an oppo in anger, but for a team with 6 or so best 22 sitting it out, when it clicked it looked great, but if the balls turned over we get knifed on the rebound. Personally I still have questions over billings, but that could just be my predisposed disposition

This was the knock on the Pies game style last year, hopefully the positives out weight the negatives

Gee the pressure or Gawn is already evident. Such a colossal error giving up so early on Grundy. Gave in to media pressure.

Pace is still an issue because structurally we play high pressure which is vulnerable on the turnover and doesn't let us take advantage of the pace we do have. No matter how quick you are, if you're playing a kick behind on the transition you'll never catchup. It's a Goodwin coaching speciality and has been since 2017.

    LEARNINGS by KC from Casey

    It took little time for Footscray to establish its domination over the Casey Demons in their VFL Round 19 clash at Mission Whitten Oval on Friday afternoon. The Doggies had the early advantage of the breeze and, as those with a knowledge of the old VFL venue second only to Essendon’s ground for swirly winds will tell you, a good start is vital in such conditions. The five goal to one opening term which saw Footscray’s midfield dominate possession, turned out to be enough to secure the win a

    HALF HEARTED by Whispering Jack

    Melbourne fell out of the premiership race after producing a half-hearted effort against Footscray on Friday night. The team was barely recognizable from the one that, earlier in the season, established a 6/2 win-loss ratio that included a 55-point thumping of the Bulldogs in Round 1. It was a poor effort from a team that had its entire season on the line and the blame falls almost squarely on the midfield which has collapsed from being a peerless premiership-winning combination to the leve

    GAMEDAY: Rd 21 vs Western Bulldogs

    It's Game Day, and the Demons' hopes for making the finals in the 2024 season are hanging by a thread. A loss would be the final blow to a disappointing season, while a win against the in-form Bulldogs would offer a temporary reprieve. LFG!

    DEMONS by The Oracle

    After losing their last two games in a row to finals aspirants, the Demons’ season has unravelled in the blink of an eye. They take on the Bulldogs on Friday night at Marvel Stadium in what has become a “do-or-die” contest to remain in contention for September AFL action and the reality is that they have been forced into a situation in which they are already thinking in terms of mathematical possibilities despite the fact that it’s still a close race and even with four rounds left to play.

    SINKING FEELING by Whispering Jack

    Melbourne fans were put through the wringer on Saturday and ended the  night with a sinking feeling as their team suffered a two-point loss to the GWS Giants at the MCG in front of their ailing coach and fell to 11th on the AFL ladder, a game and percentage outside of the top eight. With only four rounds left to play, they must now win every game to advance to the finals. The Demons welcomed back skipper Max Gawn and were off to a flyer as they kicked five goals to one to take a quarter-tim
