GAMEDAY: Practice Match vs Fremantle

The difference is their HB transition. In response we move the ball slower to setup behind the ball. This plays more to their benefit. 

We have to go as quickly as possible in HB just go for it.

    Love how they flush just about every set shot & we absolutely butcher our chances time & time again. 

    Skill execution is still a major concern of ours. Don’t see how that changes any time soon.

    Our forward line is always to crowded taking to long to decide what to do with the pill, need to play on instinct more...

    Maybe they're focused on just the new game style because there looks like no oppo work has been done. Doing nothing to stop Freo's transition game.

    Petracca 35 metrs out to goal running in and he handballs to a player slower than him and it’s a turnover.  What the ?  Go for goal. Overhandballing!!! Stop it now.

    I’m pretty sure that Fritta was dealing with more than one injury for a large part of the season, and that could have accounted for his appearing disinterested.

    Thanks for that. Perhaps you noticed these less than enthusiastic attempts as well.

    It certainly would explain them.

    Cheers HT.

    Enjoy the rest of the game and do what I'm doing.

    Curled up in a fetal position repeating ad nauseam.....it's only a practice game.

    I've had to cut back on my bourbon to payo for kayo this year.

    How are the new boys going?

    Lindsay ok but mostly defensive wing stuff

    Harvey flashes but not quite there 

    AJ very solid workhorse, hoping for more 

    Sharp - messy 

    Adams - some decent stuff, can get caught flat footed in transition but having a go

    Some forward … that’s enough. Tall or small !

    Positives so far are Tracc’s selflessness and the Windsor thing will work if we can get him involved.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
