NON-MFC: Round 11

The deliberate out of bounds paid late in the 2nd qtr against Freo just highlights how much trouble our game is in. The umpiring across all games that I’ve watched this season is by far the worst I’ve seen. I honestly ask myself is there an agenda.

Then the love for a nineteenth and possible twentieth team just blows me away. Some will argue last weeks result of the Eagles beating us shows how even the competition is. 
 

Just then a soft free against Moore. 
 

But in reality we know that’s not the case. After last weeks loss many on here bemoaning our lack of depth are all for two more teams, go figure….

Finally the tribunal, enough said.

The game is fast losing its way, we don’t want to believe it because of our love for it, but sadly the powers that be can’t be told and we will cop what ever is served up.

    Freo are very slick by hand and foot but over use the handball which sees them get caught in their back half a little too often.

    They also make a fair few rookie & basic mistakes both with choices and clangers.

    The Pies use their feet to kick / toe poke the loose ground ball away from oppo alot, attempting to move it forward or towards safety of boundary.

    Deny and disrupt.

    They also move it quickly and get it inside 50 quickly to fwds that aren’t falling over each other whilst having smaller players running in to the drop of the ball.

    This is really annoying me. Collingwood have the grit to fight out these wins. Not sure we have the same

    Horrible game of footy, but game going to script. Freo keeping pressure on, lots of tackling and stoppages, keeping Pies at bay. Pies slowly pulling away due to Freo over using/abusing handball. 

    Papley's over celebrating, Draper's ridiculous hair cut, commentators drooling over all things Daicos: all these things are annoying, frustrating and rage-inducing. But Maynard . . . this pretend tough guy is in a class of his own. Surely footy gods/karma/reap what you sow has to see him cop his right whack some time soon. 

    Looks like a Pies template game. Close score, they will kick 2-3 goals in red time to win. Again.

    Darcy's competitive in the ruck but that's about where it ends.  Super slow to react & dispose and his HBs are generally pretty shizen

    You know what Collingwood do well. Sticking their tackles. They rarely miss.

    The scary thing is they have so many good players out but are still winning.  It makes you sick.

    I have an uneasy feeling.

    Backed the pies to win by more than 25. Looking good on that front.

    But I still want them to lose.

    Good to see Corey Wagner getting a run.

    Good luck to him.

    They are woeful by hand, and decision making is as bad as us.

    Young's been pretty ordinary tonight.  

    Is it just me or has Walters had a mare so far?

    Their Guernsey looks like an extention of their tatts.

    Their pressure is quite incredible

    Yep.  The whole team has white line fever.  It's 100% pressure / urgency then go go go on the turnover.

    Cameron's also a decent ruck and VG overhead mark.  I think i heard somewhere he's one of the best intercept marks behind play also?

    The game appears to have gone past Fyfe now 😬

    • 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?
