Tall forwards need to at least contest the footy and bring it to ground, getting out marked far too easily. Smalls need to apply far more defensive pressure when it does hit the deck. Looks like they're walking it out at times. We're not out of this yet but given its wet it's going to be a struggle.

I was before the game but that has quickly worn off! Grabbing a drink to settle my nerves.

It’s hard to think of anyone who is playing well for us and so many non existent. It’s been a real hard watch so far. Would love to know how fit our midfielders are.

I don’t understand why more club execs don’t question this in public

For a multi billion dolllar enterprise it’s absolutely unacceptable 

heads must roll

if nothing else pert just question the treatment of max 

Bigger than umpiring though. Post the Maynard attempted murder pert should have beelined for media hip and shouldered daixos away and said “THAT. WAS. NOT. A. FOOTBALL. ACTION. We expected 8 weeks.”

Our game plan and forward structures are not conducive to kicking big scores.

That’s been a problem for a while and been staring us in the face for so long.

Weve placed too much of an emphasis on contest and defence, to the detriment of scoring quickly.

Scoreboard pressure is the best type, ours moves slower than a flat battery clock

when Trac kicked the two we still didn't have the run of play. By the way why take him off?' He's playing forward FFS. 

Petty is being smashed by Weitering. Pickett unsighted. 

What do you want me to do? 

- 16 contested

Yes, why did we take Tracc off.  Just a complete brain fade of where the game was at and instead going with pre programmed rotations like robots.

Same with Max in the first.  Left off at the wrong time of the match for too long.

Petty down back on DeKoning to free up Lever as the spare.

Leave Tracc up forward.  Kozzy into the middle.

Our midfield is really broken.

Jack Viney is nothing like his last season. They look very very flat footed.

That tackle by Sparrow was unacceptable.

Well a couple of Carlton fans just got engaged on the big screen while Love Story by Taylor Swift was playing. 
So…. Ummm… yeah 

The MCC is playing to the [censored]. Can’t talk to your neighbour during breaks in game now.

That passage sums our night in 10 seconds of play. Poor hit out, weak tackle attempt, no pressure at ground level, defenders out of position.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 15 vs North Melbourne

    It's Game Day and it very well could be the last roll of the dice for the Demon's finals aspirations in 2024. A loss to the bottom side would be another embarrassing moment in a cursed year for the Dees whilst a win could be the spark they need to reignite the fire in the belly.

    THE HUNTER by The Oracle

    Something struck me as I sat on the couch watching the tragedy of North Melbourne’s attempt to beat Collingwood unfold on Sunday afternoon at the MCG.    It was three quarter time, the scoreboard had the Pies on 12.7.79, a respectable 63.16% in terms of goal kicking ratio. Meanwhile, the Roos’ 18.2.110 was off the charts at 90.00% shooting accuracy. I was thinking at the same time of Melbourne’s final score only six days before, a woeful 6.15.51 or 28.57% against Collingwood’s 14.5.89

    FROZEN by Whispering Jack

    Who would have thought?    Collingwood had a depleted side with several star players out injured, Max Gawn was in stellar form, Christian Petracca at the top of his game and Simon Goodwin was about to pull off a masterstroke in setting Alex Neal-Bullen onto him to do a fantastic job in subduing the Magpies' best player. Goody had his charges primed to respond robustly to the challenge of turning around their disappointing performance against Fremantle in Alice Springs. And if not that, t

    TURNAROUND by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons won their first game at home this year in the traditional King’s Birthday Weekend clash with Collingwood VFL on Sunday in a dramatic turnaround on recent form that breathed new life into the beleaguered club’s season. The Demons led from the start to record a 52-point victory. It was their highest score and biggest winning margin by far for the 2024 season. Under cloudy but calm conditions for Casey Fields, the home side, wearing the old Springvale guernsey as a mark of res

    After two disappointing back to back losses the Demons have the bye in Round 14 and then face perennial cellar dweller North Melbourne at the MCG on Saturday night in Round 15. Who comes in and who goes out?
