Playing a GREAT GAME! Take of the blinkers!

His effort at that particular moment was lazy, Picket. Go back to drooling over Jeffo in the VFL

    Can’t complain too much with the effort so far.

    But this is the gameday thread so I need to let all the negativity out. The quicker we can replace Sharp and Spargo with proper AFL players the better. We are wasting Windsor down back who by the way has suddenly become a huge ball butcher. Get him playing in the right spot would be a start. May has been OK but what the hell was that effort on Gardiner?

    I honestly like AJ. I’m sure his stats suck but he gives us something.

    Just quietly Clarry is …. back?

    Bar some execution issues this is as good as we’ve looked all year. Very watchable.

    Whenever we get within 3 goals they slip into gear and kick a couple

    will be the story of the game unfortunately unless we take all our chances

    You see some real sad sacks on this thread, don't you?!

    What I am seeing is a top-class game where we are playing exceptionally well but last years premiers (probably this year too) are playing better. Those of you who say we don't change our game: look at this game.

    The problems: at times our kicking is terrible, and sorry, Choco, but that has to be down to you. And Windsor STILL isn't a defender, and you can see why Brisbane let Sharp go - he tries, but doesn't succeed.

    But Clarry is back in form, Max is playing better than he ever has, Bowey is fantastic, and many other huge positives.

    Both him and Oliver look like they need another pre season but even then might just be the new norm for them

    Oliver's a mile ahead of Tracc today and easily our best mid

    Think I just had them on another level with Bont and Danger, they just look like most other mids these days

    I agree and against a very good side. The problem is the execution issues are the same week in week out.

    Oliver with 17 and 5 clearances. Neale with 15 and 4. Not bad.

    Oliver is going ok today, he clearly is still a long way from being able to gut run all day like in the past. His hand still looks like it’s effecting his handling of the ball to. But we have far bigger problems than Oliver today but he seems like a pretty easy target.

    Time to be proactive and try to win the match:

    Turner forward and Petty back.

    Fritsch on for Spargo

    Love it coach Joeboy. Positive. Go for the win. But Goody loves the lil Spargo so that would be a brave call !!!

    We could really do with a (in form) Fritch type in this forward line. Will be VERY interesting to see how he responds when he is subbed in.

    If only we knew where to get one...

    Puzzling really.

    Need to step up another gear in 3rd .

    Go us !!

    Why is Fritter the sub???? He'd be better dropped to vfl to find some form than be used for 20 mins as an out of form sub

    Please make this the last time we see both Sharp and Spargo in the same team.

    Both need to go.

    Commentators picking on Oliver. Yet the turnovers are the issue. Been 5 or 6 cruel turnovers that have cost us and led to Lions goals.

    From live at the ground it's a good game. However for half-time- worst Auskickers ever!!!!

    It’s honestly ridiculous. Windsor scrubbed a simple kick and apparently it was Clarry’s fault for ‘stopping’? Just an easy target for the media at the moment. Haven’t heard it since Jack Watts was out there.

    Turner ,, a sleeper(but as part of defence like McVee), Knows where the ball is.

    Clarrie (although terrific effort)is not exactly a "deliverer" like Neal/Zerko

    Don't think for one moment that Petracca is deliberately being "swamped"

    Good game so far, but they are delivering the ball better than us !!

    Yes from that POV they're a fair bit off their 2021 - 2023 best.

    Clarry's alot closer than Tracc though. Even though he's still off his best from back then, his Player Rating has him up 28% on his horror 2024 and our 2nd highest rated player behind Max so far till last week. Even with the shocking rating when he tagged.

    Until last week, Tracc's Player Rating is down roughly 16% on his excellent 2024 result (up till the injury).

    Windsors pre season or lack thereof is behind his inconsistency but agree HB is not for him. I’m not really sure where he is best suited.

    From memory he always had question marks on his kicking skills.

    Spargo. First half.

    Metres gained MINUS 3.

    1 tackle.

    Poor. Very poor

    Want to see a massive lift in him

    Wish we had an Elliott, Hill, Greene, Papley etc as a small forward to kick goals.

    • PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Way back in March we contemplated the possibility of a Demon resurgence after Simon Goodwin’s summer of love. Many issues at the club had seemingly been addressed, key players were returning from injury and a brand new day was about to dawn. We imagined the coach pulling a rabbit out of a hat. The team would roar up the charts, push aside every opponent and make its way to a Grand Final ending in ultimate triumph with Goody and Max holding the premiership cup aloft under a shower of red and blue ticker tape.

      We’re back! That was fun. The Mighty Dees’ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commanding 48-point winover the Western Bulldogs, retaining the Hampson-Hardeman Cup in style. After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

    • CASEY: Box Hill

      The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.
