Another superb kick by ANB, gives us a goal in the third! Great pass to Fritsch

Well you ignorant moron, he's made brilliant moves thus far in this game. Lewis v McGovern, did you foresee this? Has it worked?

ANB had a very solid last 20 minutes

No room for Fritsch? Some had him B o G

U are dead right! He is a genuine forward. As soon as he gets it he thinks " goal". Others such as ANB do not, they instinctively think " who will I give it to" Baker disappointed me once yesterday, had the ball 40m out, slight angle, I was screaming at him to kick it, but he tried an impossible pass. Team play is to be commended but if the chance presents itself---/

Players lazy. Don't give a stuff? You have to be joking. You , Picket Fence and other haters go and watch some other sport.. the absurd aspect is that if Weideman's kick had been a goal none of you knockers would have bern writing the crap you now are. every player tried his guts out, every player was bitterly hurt. When Melbourne was easily the best ream in 1955, they kicked 5.15 then 6.16 then 8.18. Surprisingly enough they lost all three matches. It happens to every team from time to time.

Deemania you r dreaming!

J Wagner and Fritsch are decent AFL players. Fritsch is a genuine forward having to play back because of injuries

How many games has Petty played? Three? Yet you dills give up on him. What did Tom McD look like after 3? its the same really with Kielty. Has hardly played. You give guys like this a decent go before you write them off. Don't You?

Goodwin had another shocker at selection! Problem with this statement is that when they picked the team it was forecast to be wet. Cold and showers. Preuss would have been useless if so.

If u think this team isn't trying, u r not watching

Well he was better than OK I thought, but he MUST develop his kicking on the R foot. Every time he turns back onto the left he either falls over or is caught.

Well surely you can see the problem. Last year, most of the time he was playing alongside Hogan. Weideman hasn't made it, so Tom McD is the only tall forward we have. He attracts the best defender each week. And yes, he is not in great form. He tried bloody hard as he always does

Well, bugger it! It's boring to set this out but some of you need to read it. Add the following to the team and what does it look like? Hibberd, Jetta, Salem, May, Lever, Hannan, , Vandenberg, Koladjasni , Joel Smith,

What is he eexpected to do or say? I can't recall such a weak list available. Thirteen out, then we learn that Salem was gone also. I predicted a ten goal loss. We've found a couple of players in Hore and Baker

Very hard on Viney, Josh Wagner and Harmes. I also thought Smith gave it his best shot, crashed the packs, competed in the ruck

Thought Smith was ok in a tough position until he was killed in the last quarter

Barassi always used a torp kicking for goal. It is not hard to kick. If u r kicking for goal u r not hoping someone will mark the ball except the kids 15 rows back

Tas Johnson is your man!

Absolutely right! But if Fritsch or Hunt have a shot from 50m , why not give it a go? Apart from anything else it prompts defenders to play further up the field, in case someone kicks goals from 55 m

In today's Age Malcolm Blight extols the virtues of the torpedo punt, as well he might because he used it magnificently. i want to tell all Demon supporters that we have an equally great exponent. Last year, 90 minutes before the first final v Geelong, Harmes and Fritsch amused themselves by having dozens of shots at goal from out on the old cricket pitch area. Harmes landed a few decent long shots. But Bayley Fritsch was a revelation. He kicked an amazing number of goals using a torp from 60m plus, and they were going through half way up the posts, with unerring accuracy. I've never seen anything like it! In my view Bayley should always play in the forward line. Things are pretty hopeless aren't they? .Lets have a bit of fun. Put Fritsch on the forward line and tell him to go for it

You are quite correct

I What the hell is wrong? The last phase was typical. We scored despite our best attempts not to! Why are we fumbling this year and not last year? Is everyone so down in confidence? Lack of fitness probably explained it originally but that should not be the case now

Isn't Kielty normally a defender? Hard on him to play him CH forward. I would play Oscar, Kielty and Sparrow. Viney out. Play Tom forward. Drop Weideman, Smith at FF, have to drop someone else, perhaps Lewis.

You guys are pathetic. Viney no great loss? You have to be kidding. And Jones was B o G three weeks ago
