Afternoon fellow Demonites

Apologies if there is already one out there but couldn't find, but can someone who is much more creative that me please come up with a MEME/GIF that shows the Demon train rolling into Hell..

There is an awesome Richmond one kicking about with a "Mad Max" theme- see attached

Whilst we need to not getting ahead of ourselves we need to start a movement!

Seeking creative people, Go Demons!!!!

Oscar had 2 goals kicked on him, not a great game but really. We lost it up forward, set shots missed, Max, Hunt, Smith, Weid, then dropped chest marks, Jeffy, the list goes on. The Crows had half the opportunities but nailed most of them. If you can’t finish you can’t win, it is that simple. 

Agrees - bad kicking is bad football and we should have kicked 20 goals tonight. However Oscar had provided a service but its time to move on. If he is in the side next week then we are tanking.

Delist Oscar McDonald and Jeff Garlett now.

Jones - failed to inspire

Viney - little to excite

Gawn - our only winner

Harmes - couldn’t impose himself

J. Wagner - tried but lacking

Petracca - irrelevant 3 quarters

Stretch - selection defies logic

Brayshaw - devoid of confidence 

Hore - played with purpose 

Baker - showed promise again

Smith - had no impact 

Fritsch - floated through game

Oliver - was comprehensively beaten 

Spargo - couldn’t justify selection

T. McDonald - had no presence

C.Wagner - played without purpose 

Lockhart - out of depth 

Frost - all at sea

Hunt - a disappearing act

 

O. McDonald - making up numbers

Petty - out of depth

J Wagner - Not AFL Standard

C Wagner - Not AFL Standard

Stretch - Not AFL Standard

Smith - 3rd tall only

Garlett - Replace with Bedford

O McDonald - Bring back Lever

Fritsch - What has happened

Brayshaw - out of position

Jones - needs to retire

Oliver - rare bad game

Petracca - just so frustrating

Gawn - prevented 100p loss

Hore - Prevented 100p loss

Another pathetic game from the team with 0 GENUINE effort and once again zero confidence in Goodwin's lack of  flexible game plan.

Where s the Plan B. When you kick 1 goal in 2 and a half quarters its worth trying a few things.

Gawn was our only winner on the field and he wont throw him forward for 10 mins. Rest him there in the square!

Throw Petracca to a back flank and Garlett on the wing or to the back flank.

We need to stop gifting games to the Wagners and Stretch. Id rather give games to anyone else except them 3.

C Wagner - not AFL standard

J Wagner -  not AFL standard

B Stretch - Horrible - Not Fast, cant kick, cant make decisions and is soft

H Petty - Too early to judge

O Baker - Showing signs

T Smith - Needs to be 3rd tall only. 

C Spargo - Lost all confidence

J Lockhart - showing effort at least but has limited ability

Biggest concern is our last rising star nominations was Oscar McDonald in 2016. 0 in the last 57 rounds!

Take away Clayton Oliver, Harmes and Lever im not sure our 18-23 year old will go on with it.

OUT: ANB, T Smith (both concussion) and i wouldn't be surprised if Salem was as well given the knock he took late
IN: one of C Wagner or Sparrow (depending on how tomorrow goes), Preuss

brayshaw had a real dom tyson vs meth coke; he can only play the one role - inside mid - and whenever he has to play a different role (e.g. the lewis role) then he gets completely lost, and his fumbles and up-and-unders are momentum killers

i wouldn't mind seeing brayshaw forward, but his defensive pressure is just non-existent so he's a liability anywhere but on the ball - he's too good a player to be performing like he is currently

billy stretch skating on super-thin ice for mine - he holds up play every time he gets it; hoping a youngster can start to show something for casey to replace him as a runner

petty holds his spot as we'll need all tall hands on deck vs cameron, himmelberg and finlayson

B: Hore - Frost - Petty
HB: Salem - O Mac - Fritsch
? Jones - Oliver - Baker
HF: Hunt - T Mac - Lockhart
F: Petracca - Preuss - Garlett
Foll: Gawn - Harmes - Viney
I/c: Brayshaw - Stretch - C Wagner - J Wagner
Emerg: Jordon - Sparrow - Chandler - Kielty

 Would rather go in 2 short that play both Wagners.

North identified that pretty quickly with Corey and for whatever reason we thing they can play.

Clearly they are  in possession of some interesting polaroids of Goodwin.

You can add Stretch to that list. Yes i get the Father/Son love but hes is not up to you, is not quick and offers nothing!

I would rather go in 2 short that play both Wagners.

Jones - Leadership skills gone

Viney - Wastes the ball

Gawn - Best on Ground

Oliver - Needs to kick

Harmes - Good early on

Hunt - Only good forward

Garlett - Soft and Wasteful

Petracca - Its getting worse

Salem - Was well held

Stretch - Not AFL standard

Brayshaw - Loss his ability

T.McDonald - Didn't reward himself

Frost - Good until late

Hore - Another good game

O.McDonald -Wasn't our worse

Wagner - Not AFL standard

Smith - was well beaten

Lockhart - Was rarely sighted

Neal-Bullen - battles until concussed

Petty - showed some promise

Fritsch - Lost all confidence

Baker - Had his chances

Umpiring horrible

Wagner is just horrible

Stretch is not actually quick and kicks 30m clangers

Clayton Oliver will never get to his true potential whilst he is handball happy, better tonight but cost us 1 in the last quarter

Nathan Jones and Jack Viney have no leadership

Jeff Garlett needs to go when its his turn

OUT: White, Kennedy, Grimes

IN: Spencer, Oliver, Stretch, 

Spencer.

What is he going to provide except a hate thread here this time next week?

What about bombing out from the last line to a pack? Turnover, goal. We are so dumb. 

100% agree.

What works is the lack of leadership in who gets the kicking in duties.

Only players that should be allowed to kick in are Vince, Tyson, Jones or Jetta.

Neve used to be a problem when we had Dunny there apart for the odd blowup!

6. Viney

5. T Mac

4. Harmes

3. Vince

2. Watts

1. Petracca

Agree except J Garlett.

He was quiet today but still kicked two goals in game when you need to kick a winning score and co led us in tackles in a game that we were beaten because we failed to match the intensity. 

O McDonald is young and i can understand why he gets game but he still needs a full season in the twos before he gets games. Grimes really disappointed today and should naturally have leadership, he should of had over 10 tackles if he was serious, White I'm just unsure off. 

I know he is not going to he is his last years but why we dropped Dunny is beyond me, He deserves to feel let down by the club and would be embarased Oscar is getting a game in his place.

We lost today because when the game was on the line EXP in Riewoldt and Montagna stepped up and we had none of that and we failed to match their intensity.

Nathan Jones worst game in 3 years.

Patracca and Vince misses in QTR 2 were huge in hindsight..

Most of all the biggest reason we lose during the year is over use of the ball and fascination with switching the ball in defence which leads to players like the McDonalds needing to execute kicking skills they don't posses even though today their kicking was above average for them..

How many times to we get a mark in the middle and look back and sidewards to dish off before even considering to be attacking and moving the ball on fast into the 50 like the good sides???

Crying out for a CHF that works and marks and links defence to the forwards like Brad Miller did when he played his best footy, DAWES is not he answer but the Pedo is the best we have and he is at least contributes.
