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.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

      The Dogs reigned supreme in 2018 with an inaugural AFLW premiership cup and the Demons matched this feat by winning the cup as the Season 7 2022 champions.Meggs wasn’t born when the Doggies won their first VFL premiership cup against the Demons in 1954. Covid prevented many Demons fans from legally witnessing the victorious 2021 AFL Grand Final cup performance between the Demons and the Bulldogs, but we all grin when remembering those magnificent seven third quarter goals.

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Hawthorn and Melbourne. Two teams with impressive form from last week but with seasons that are travelling on different trajectories meet in Saturday’s twilight game for what could well be the most intriguing contest of the AFL’s penultimate round. Sadly, the game has been relegated to that unappealing time slot in the weekend when Melburnians are typically preoccupied with activities other than football. It falls between the morning's shopping, afternoon sport and recreation, and Saturday night fever. A time usually reserved for relatively insignificant events but this one is not a nothingburger for either of the clubs or their fans.

    • AFLW: 2025 Season Preview

      Ten seasons. Eighteen teams. With the young talent pathway finally fully connected, Women’s Australian Rules football is building momentum and Season 2025 promises to be the best yet. In advance of Season 10, the AFL leadership has engaged in candid discussions with all clubs regarding strategies to boost attendance and expand fan bases. Concerningly, average attendances in 2024 were 2,660 fans per match, with the women’s game incurring an annual loss of approximately $50 million.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

    • PREGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?
