Can we get smith on the bench and tmac inside forward 50. Smith is not very good at contested markIng

Christ Hogan what was that

Fuxk Vine what was that shil

I can, he ran straight at the goal, dropped the ball beutifully and kicked through it.

Fritchs work rate exceptional there

How is that even possible?

JEFFFRY!!!!!!

Is it just me or has every wayway spoil, every stray bounce and every kick off the ground gone straight to our opposition over the past month?!!!

Much better kick inside 50 and good mark ?

I’m convinced when our coaching staff say “we need to get better at kicking it inside 50” they really mean we’re going to focus on our contested possesion and keep boming it long inside 50

These [censored] behinds could cost us

They need to stop cutting right over their last 5 steps when taking set shots. rhey could just copy McDonald and we’d be sweet

FMD we don’t learn

Wasting opportunities big time so far. Inside 50s 7/0 for 2 behinds

Why did Hogan run hard right to take that set shot???

Players looking greasy already, could be a slippery pill tonight ?

Nah Mums tougher (Hi Dad? (he gets on here a bit))! bloody cold in winter, so the olds are thawing out in Darwin for a long weekend ?

If you bump into my dad while your up there say helllo for me. He lives not far from you actually, in Trentham. Edit: Sorry meant to send this to Bitter!

Bitter?

Cheers for both posts TC. Enjoy the game ???

Hey Tarax My Mum and Dad are up your way for the game and a weekend of R+R. Dads actually a member here on Demonland but he is old and having password issues (he will be reading this by the way, hi Dad?). He called and asked me to ask you if there is anything happening before the game either formal or informal in the local area that fellow Demon supporters can attend? Cheers in advance ?

When the club asked for members to donate old scarves to give out to newbies today, I’m not sure that’s the receptical you were suppose to put it in! ? (Though that’s where it belongs because we stink)

A couple of things on this: - there is no home ground advantage at the MCG for any side because it is a communal ground. All clubs play there enough for it to be a known quantity and none train there (so can’t know every detail like say Geelong can with kardinia) It’s super reliable, has a predictable and some would say perfect playing surface and is largely unaffected by wind. - we train on a ground that is significantly narrower than the MCG unlike many other teams particularly Collingwood which trains on a ground the exact dimensions of the MCG - we experience limited crowd advantage at the G when compared to interstate and Geelong based teams due to low supporter base and the fact that there are more interstate teams supporters in Melbourne than there are Melbourne supporters in Perth/Sydney/Adelaide - our game plan looks like a steaming pile of [censored] at the MCG and it seems we aren’t interested in correcting it All in all, I wish my dad followed Fitzroy (rather than the demons) like his dad before him because al least I would have seen 3 premierships by now!

Just out of interest, did anyone know Fitzroy have a higher winning percentage than us on all time games?

That’s all nice, but how about tinkering with the way we deliver the ball inside 50. We don’t have any injuries there so you would think we would have that sorted by now. Simple fact is that we lost the game in the forward half last week not the back half
