Another red time goal! Every fricking game.

Goodwin team in a nutshell. Awareness zero. Btw why did Petraca forced that disposal? Just take the tackle and stoppage.

 
 

I'm trying to be positive but Max, Fritta and Tracc are just cooked.

Stick a fork in them all.

Their done.

Not too bad so far to be honest, much better than last week. You can see what they’re trying to do. Just need a bit more composure

    good for half the qtr... poor skills when we have control to deliver the ball to the advantage of our players. Goodwins tactic were shown up in the 2nd half in terms of positioning the players. lets see if they change it up to adjust this qtr.

    Gawn struggling again this week. Is he struggling with carrying the load on and off field for so long or is the end coming fast?

    The end coming I think.

    A for effort so far.

    C- for skill.

    Awful errors from Max and May.

    you're being generous. F for skills more like
     

    What is the point of Sharp and Turner? Both are great at disappearing when the ball is in their area.

    Oliver's mind is willing, but his body is cactus. He is an absolute liability at centre bounces.

    Comical fwd entry then with kicks to no one

    Jeez

    Question for the new players - why did we recruit Campbell

    You reckon the dual ruckman strategy that clearly failed with Grundy is going to suddenly magically work with Campbell?

    Clearly he's there as backup.

    Ditto Oliver, no speed or acceleration.

    Cats controlling the air

    They're:

    +7 in tackles

    +20 in marks

    Our disposal 58% v 75%

    Their loose defensive player is killing us

    Bowey no impact

    Maybe Goodys comments in round 2 weren’t off the mark r.e. Gawny

    Yes he’s had a bad game here and then but this looks different.

    Gawn is done as a solo ruckman he needs support now.

    Bring in Campbell (I think that’s him).

    A man and coach has got to know his limitations.

    On one of the footy shows, they showed he is rucking event more this year than ever.
    We need to bit the bullet and bring in a second ruck if we want him to keep playing for us.

    Campbell did his hammy for Casey.

    13 demons without a tackle

    Oppo defenders just need to stand 40m out directly in front and we will hit them every time ffs.

    Max looks way off it

    That about sums it up.

    Straight lines into the 50 or mark just outside, panic and play on then kick it to no one or no one's advantage.

    Zero pressure inside 50 when the ball hits the deck. They are first to the loose ground balls i50 almost always.

    Our two way running through the middle from our big boys is shot. They can't even run with old man danger even when theyre right alongside him at the drop.

    Aside from Koz there's just a lack of guys hitting the ball drop at pace. Too stagnant and reactionary. Someone needs to be on the move at stoppages and 666.

    This just doesn't look like a big rockets been pile drived through the camp when it should've been. Hec the do or die kill or be killed response should've come last week.

    Is there any chance we can look inside as first option when coming off HB instead of kicking in straight lines most of the time, often to a 2 v 1!???

    Plenty of time left for so many to not leave so much to so few in this game and grow a leg for the win.

    a lot of people retiring Max after his one dip in form in years.

    I share the frustration of late goals!!!!

    JVR is now better in the ruck than as a MARKING forward

    a few clever contributions by Melksham

    Turner, hold that mark!

    • PREGAME: Sydney

      Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are back on the road with a massive challenge ahead — facing the reigning premiers, the Brisbane Lions, at their Gabba fortress.

      The Sir Doug Nicholls Round kicks off in Darwin with a Top 4 clash between the Suns and the Hawks. On Friday night the Swans will be seeking to rebound from a challenging start to the season, while the Blues have the Top 8 in their sights after their sluggish start. Saturdays matches kick off with a blockbuster between the Collingwood and Kuwarna with the Magpies looking to maintain their strong form and the Crows aiming to make a statement on the road. The Power face a difficult task to revive their season against a resilient Cats side looking to make amends for their narrow loss last week. The Giants aim to reinforce their top-eight status, while the Dockers will be looking to break the travel hoodoo. The sole Saturday game is a critical matchup for both teams, as the Bulldogs strive to cemet their spot in the top six and the Bombers desperately want break into the 8. Sundays start with a bottom 3 clash between the Tigers and Kangaroos with both teams wanting to avoid the being in wooden spoon contention. The Round concludes with the Eagles still searching for their first win of the season, while the Saints look to keep their finals hopes alive with a crucial away victory. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?
