Would help if he didn't fumble evertime he touches it !!!

That last passage in our 50 was not pretty!

How are the doom and bloomers coping with Naughton and Darcy not taring us apart?

Quietly Wrecker it is only half time.

    Regarding systems this game is like watching a men vs boys match.

    Dogs highly drilled and systemic. We have nothing.

    Kudos to Board for pulling the trigger.

    Our youngsters leading the way. Stars mostly seemed checked out. Excl Max and clarry.

    4 marks, 2 contested

    missed another contested mark based on that horrible umpire call

    Hasn’t been great but doing ok

    It seems his marking has improved. Definitely last week and a little today. But he couldn't have gone backwards I suppose.

    Let's hope it keeps improving. But it's been average for two years if we are totally honest of some very ordinary to bad footy.

    Seems to be moving more freely.

    He's still a concern but Jvr seems to have taken over that title.

    He's not really up to it.

    And I've been hoping against hope he'll improve.

    After his first year I think I wasn't alone in thinking we had a new super fwd.

    Then a year later maybe a bip.

    Then possibly a serviceable on.

    Then I'm not sure.

    Now I'm starting to think I am. He's probably not going to make it. Should never have been kept in ruck roles but probably hasn't had too much impact.

    He kicks straight. He makes a contest. He's athletic. He's strong.Great leap. Decent agro.

    But he simply and sadly cant hold marks.

    They always just pop right out. Time after time.

    If nothing changes next year will or should be his last. Maybe try him down back.

    I’m tipping a 50pt loss and Darcy to kick 5 in the 2nd half

    We don’t apply enough fwd pressure and can’t keep the ball due to amateur skill errors


    Overall the effort is pretty good, but our skills are disgusting. I can't count the number of times we have been streaming towards goal and have missed a target by 10 metres.

    The fact that Salem, Chandler and Sparrow have played every game this year (when fit) tells you exactly why we are in the bottom 6.

    And yes, Baker is clearly the best wing on either side. Great to see him doing well.

    If only we could go Bang Bang Bang sometime soon in this quarter
     

    Can't complain about effort

    Just our skill execution makes it so hard.

    Ie.

    Langford just has to hit melksham at this level

    Oskar Baker really has become a far far better footballer tham what he was at the Dees

    To be fair, I think he was actually decent for us, but struggled to get a go amoung a glut of great and in for mids


    PLEASE START THIS QUARTER BETTER THAN THE LAST TWO

    Strong mark by Tracc but a totally lazy and stupid handball that gave it all up.

    Come on. That's just poor.

    Reminiscent of his kings birthday handball in the dying minutes

    Any chance we catch on to naughton kicking the first in a quarter??


    Don’t worry about head high contact umpire 🤬

    If a few players like Langers, Sparrow, Tracca, Viney and Chandler could actually decide to get involved it might help.

    Just five key players that need to get their hands on the ball or lay just a couple of tackles we may even be winning.

    Not good enough.

    Taking advantage of a temp coach perhaps or just a day off.

      It's Game Day or has everyone given up. Maybe it is because a prime time Friday game is so rare ... double checks today is Friday ... Come on DL'ers support the team one last time for the year!

    • AFLW PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      The Demons return to Casey Fields (aka the Field of Dreams) this Saturday to host the Saints in Round 2. If you’re feeling lucky, head down the Monash for some family-friendly footy—you might even walk away a winner. The first 5,000 adults through the gate will receive an entry into the $10,000 helicopter ball drop. With Casey’s infamous wind, what could possibly go wrong? Closest ball to the pin wins. So spread the word, get down there—and good luck!

    • 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.
