Any danger this team develops speed and tank?

Even their older players seem.to run quicker and tire less.

 

New innovation in our gameplan, don't go near your opponent, working well, and if that doesn't work give it to players that are nowhere near it not sure it's going to catch on by other teams.

    I'm really hoping he is a late bloomer like his old man. Shane was drafted as a mature age player when he was 21 in 97.

    Woey senior is overrated

    Hard watch. Lizzie has been dangerous but might get rubbed out. Chandler has tried hard. Gawn ok. Everyone else has been horrible.

    Viney played his only A grade game for the year and put the cue in the rack.

    Thank goodness there's only a quarter of this horrific season left.

    Just don't let this be a blow out. Finish the quarter strong

    skills are woeful, we had so many opportunities go begging because of poor disposal. we need a new skills coach (and some better players). i still dont see us manning up, this is where they are killing us and we continue to give them heaps of easy cheap possessions. absolutely destroyed at our lack of effort in chasing, tackling and most things around the ground. i had hoped that after the 2nd quarter we were making bit of a comeback but that was not to be.

    He’s nowhere near strong enough. He’s so good at HB I just don’t understand the need to play him in the middle until he’s much stronger.

    Petracca , Oliver, Sparrow all missing 

    maybe explains why McVee is doing midfield time don’t you think ? 
     

    We have no depth in that part of the ground and even our main starters have poor kicking skills 

    It should be our key focus during the draft period and trading

    We are [censored] next season

    Playing this soft it's hard to disagree.

    Bruise free butchers with a failed system and method that doesn't hold up under anything that resembles AFL standard pressure.

    We cannot maintain possession for more than a few disposals in transistion and after three years have not learned or garnered the skills and craft that sees a switch of lanes or direction that allows us to hit more targets coming inside 50.

    We are STILL playing on like headless chooks, running and kicking in straight lines with no lowering of vision and constantly missing open options inside 50. 

    Instead just bombing on ppls heads down the line which the oppo intercepts or spoils easily.

    I can't see how Goodwin survives beyond 2025 if he continues to dish up this rubbish.

    I really don’t understand our zone off sometime.

    I understand that it gives us structure behind the ball but it seems to leave the corridor wide open. 
     

    i also concede that our zone off is never going to work when we’re turning the ball over this much 

    Blow the friggen siren already so I can remove myself from this misery.

    Starting to think our players are colour blind.

    Definitely after the Brownlow.

    I'm just hoping that Woey can develop into a player that can reliably play a role. He is a liability at the moment and I cringe when I see him named in the team.

    It really makes it hard when your best kicks consistently miss targets in a game where you have almost no margin for error anyway.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      There was a time during the current Melbourne cycle that goes back to before the premiership when the club was the toughest to beat in the fourth quarter. The Demons were not only hard to beat at any time but it was virtually impossible to get the better them when scores were close at three quarter time. It was only three or four years ago but they were fit, strong and resilient in body and mind. Sadly, those days are over. This has been the case since the club fell off its pedestal about 12 months ago after it beat Geelong and then lost to Carlton. In both instances, Melbourne put together strong, stirring final quarters, one that resulted in victory, the other, in defeat. Since then, the drop off has been dramatic to the point where it can neither pull off victory in close matches, nor can it even go down in defeat  gallantly.

    • CASEY: Footscray

      At twenty-four minutes into the third term of the game between the Casey Demons and Footscray VFL at Whitten Oval, the visitors were coasting. They were winning all over the ground, had the ascendancy in the ruck battles and held a 26 point lead on a day perfect for football. What could go wrong? Everything. The Bulldogs moved into overdrive in the last five minutes of the term and booted three straight goals to reduce the margin to a highly retrievable eight points at the last break. Bouyed by that effort, their confidence was on a high level during the interval and they ran all over the despondent Demons and kicked another five goals to lead by a comfortable margin of four goals deep into the final term before Paddy Cross kicked a couple of too late goals for a despondent Casey. A testament to their lack of pressure in the latter stages of the game was the fact that Footscray’s last ten scoring shots were nine goals and one rushed behind. Things might have been different for the Demons who went into the game after last week’s bye with 12 AFL listed players. Blake Howes was held over for the AFL game but two others, Jack Billings and Taj Woewodin (not officially listed as injured) were also missing and they could have been handy at the end. Another mystery of the current VFL system.

    • PREGAME: Brisbane

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.
