Not sure if this has been put up and wasn't sure where to put it so just thought I'd make a thread. This is a great little video breakdown of the last two mins Vs North, how both teams went about trying to win/save game. 

 

 

 

Agree with all of old mates comments. However it makes me very worried at the thought of our team without max when his time comes. 

Brown with 2 key involvements there, onya pup

OMG, it sounds as though we actually did a good last weekend.

should never have put ourselves in that position in the first place

football is a game of momentum these days, and north got all theirs going in the last quarter and, to be honest, the second quarter - they should never have let the margin balloon out as it did and could well have been in front at half time as they were as dominant in 2 and 4 as we were in 1 and 3

our defensive structure held them up in the last few minutes and petty's clunking mark after pup's big tackle was a huge part of us holding on imo

Edited by whatwhat say what


Gee, it was interesting noting

first the borderline downfield free for the bump on Petty (I wouldn't have called it, but the umpires earlier had...)

and then at the other end of that kick it is clear even in that grainy footage that Van Rooyen was bumped to ground by an opponent with no intention of entering the marking contest. I mean... am I forgetting the rules or is bumping someone to prevent them entering a marking contest when you have no intention of participating in the contest not normally a free?

Good pickup on Liam Shiels effort there, and the comment on 'not caring what the opposition is doing - rolling the dice' sums up the necessary attitude quite well.

Any chance Will Schofield can bring this stuff to special comments instead of cheerleading like he's head of the WA Football Commission? I know there's a difference between speaking off the cuff and being able to review footage first, but this is light years ahead of the dross he brings to TV games.

I’d prefer anything over BT.. he would have watch the Melbourne v North last 2 minutes and said “you really get the feeling North need to score here, otherwise it is going to be tough to come back”..

I'd prefer to hear to somebody speaking in tongues while I'm strapped to the electric chair than BT.

My dog barking at possums is like a Mozart masterpiece compared to listening to BT.

take a pick.     bt or tm?

 

 

The disappointing take away from that video was that we allowed the oppositions best player on the ground to be free at stoppages with the game in the balance. Egads. 

A good summary especially aimed at those who think prolific possessions are the criteria for winning e.g Shiel's running, Gawn, Movement to bottle game up. Protecting the corridor.

All things that stats analysis does not show up !!

  • POSTGAME: Richmond

    After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.

    It's Game Day and the Demons return to the MCG to face the Tigers in their annual Blockbuster on ANZAC Eve for the 10th time. The Dees will be desperate to reignite their stuttering 2025 campaign and claim just their second win of the season. Can the Demons dig deep and find that ANZAC Spirit to snatch back to back wins?

  • PREVIEW: Richmond

    A few years ago, the Melbourne Football Club produced a documentary about the decade in which it rose from its dystopic purgatory of regular thrashings to the euphoria of a premiership victory. That entire period could have been compressed in a fast motion version of the 2025 season to date as the Demons went from embarrassing basket case to glorious winner in an unexpected victory over the Dockers last Saturday. They transformed in a single week from a team that put in a pedestrian effort of predictably kicking the ball long down the line into attack that made a very ordinary Bombers outfit look like worldbeaters into a slick, fast moving side with urgency and a willingness to handball and create play with shorter kicks and by changing angles to generate an element of chaos that yielded six goals in each of the opening quarters against Freo.
