May went down right in front of me, and from my vantage looked like ribs. He looked very, very sore.

Personally I think we are playing terrible football.   Hawthorn are shirt. And we let them get close 

Sam Mitchell’s gameplan is play ugly, play dirty

    reckon having wizard as a nickname is a hinderance rather than a help coming into AFL footy. You need to earn a nickname like that.

    Didn't do Jeff Farmer any harm.

     

    Good half. Smashing clearances and contested ball. Setting up incredibly well behind the ball, so much that the Hawks can't even move it. 

    Scores from stoppage healthy.

    He was definitely down for quite awhile. Didn’t look good 😬

    Hawks came out hard in that quarter. Our defence stood up really well. Need our mids to get back to basics.

    Went from way ahead on most stats at quarter time to near even.

    Lucky that the Hawks couldn't put any scoreboard pressure on.

    Need a better third quarter

    No, it's playing to a plan when you don't have the cattle you make sure the opposition don't score.

    Lower the eyes going forward. Maybe have a defensive forward on Sicily, or even a decoy forward to try and drag him away from the ball.

    Anyone watching at home; any updates on May? 

    In a lot of pain, no plan of being subbed just yet.

    I've just watched the replay on Kayo, but haven't been following the half time updates.

    It looked like rib area was hit and that's where he grabbed, but the impact seemed a bit broad (shin/leg against side of body) rather than sharp (ie knee point directly digging in).

    I'm not a doctor or biomechanist but it looked more like a heavy collision than sharp rib impact. Hopefully bad bruising or stitch from impact rather than anything more serious?

    He looked a lot better when resting on the bench.

    Only 1 goal that quarter.  Chandler and Brown not doing a lot

    Agree re Brown.  Not reading it as well this week? 

    Chandler's brought immense pressure around the arc though imv.

    For a small fella he does struggle to get away from his opponent on the receive at times and capatilise which is a tad worrying.  Not easy at this level of course.  Needs a bit more strength through legs & core maybe?

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
