Moniz-Wakefield - disposal needs work

Fritsch - had more involvement 

May - reliable and impressive 

Pickett - exciting first half

Sparrow - had some moments 

Melksham - experience added dimension

    Question mark on May’s assessment. He wasn’t great and looks very stiff and sore. Very lucky to be playing on a player who was clearly injured (Waterman) who still ran him around and kicked a couple.

    Sparrow offers nothing.

    I agree; May was often a metre or two behind.

     You are harsh on Oliver. He combined with the others to keep Reid to minor impact.

    I want him to start running assertively with the ball when he gets it and put the defence on its heels.  I understand he is playing to instruction however too often he gets it and stops.  Its hard to offer damage when doing that constantly.

    Lever :Needs to contest marks, rather then talking about it.

    TMac : Thank heavens !!!

    Yes  (May) he was then he jumps up and takes a couple of impressive marks. With a pass to milkshake for a goal ( I think)

    thought Clayton played within himself and his ability. But we won by 54 points. Round 10 they beat us by 35 points.
     

    pretty good turnaround.  Go Dee’s

    joeboy - brevis  Sporting Globe

    Ed Langdon - mojo magic working 

    Caleb Windsor - get dictionary out?

    Steven May - keep Petty campaign 

    Tom McDonald - best tall defender

    Kade Chandler - underrated defensive forward 

    Taj Woewodin - 🎼 start me up

    Looking forward to next Saturday night at the ‘G. Opening quarter was exemplary. Last quarter an incremental improvement.

    Think we need Petty at Casey to find some form, Disco down back and JEFFO to debut!

    Which forward are you dropping for Jeffo?

    Chandler, to Sub, Jeffo to debut. Chandler has not hit the scoreboard anywhere near enough for a small forward!

    I thought Lever was pretty poor. He struggles big time when he’s one-on-one against a genuine tall.

    Mat is a metre or two behind every week these days.

    If he wasn't so good he'd be finished.

    I have to agree, I think Mat was more than a meter behind his man. He must of been in the stands. I did not see Mat all game. 
     

    Hands up all Demonlander’s named Mat who attended today. Get in front FFS 😳😳🤩🤩😆😆

     

    Oh, you need a referral to the Physio too 😬😬

    With respect mate, you’ve been a tad obsessed with this Jeffo talk of late Picket. The kids finally finding his feet & starting to play some nice consistent footy. Why the rush? & especially how the forward line seems to be functioning the past couple weeks.

    The only time is see Jeffo debuting is if & when we’re out of the finals race. & the longer he’s not in the one’s the better it would seem we’re going.

    All things going well, he gets to build his case over a strong pre-season with a chance to impress for an early debut in 25’

    Lever was absolutely terrible. I'm guessing he was directly responsible for about 8 shots on goal, mostly to Allen. He is tall, but he's not a genuine tall defender.

    Funk and Wagnall was I believe made popular by frequent references in Rowan and Martin's Laugh In

    Fair point but if Sparrow's career ends up being 50% that Melksham's I'll be rapt. I have my doubts.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • POSTGAME: Geelong

      The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.

    • GAMEDAY: Geelong

      It's Game Day, and reinforcements are finally arriving for the Demons—but will it be too little, too late? They're heading down the freeway to face a Cats side returning home to their fortress after two straight losses, desperate to reignite their own season. Can the Demons breathe new life into their campaign, or will it slip even further from their grasp?
