JVR 1 mark and 3 disposals to half time. Melb/Goodwin have successfully ruined this kid by using him as a second ruck.

He definitely doesn’t understand it, or wants to apply pressure in the zone. He is just waiting to cheat out the back of it if we win a turnover.

I watched Fritsch in isolation. For a good chunk of the game. He gets lost in our zone. Stands in no mans land defending absolutely nothing. Applies next no no pressure unless the camera is on him. His opponents show him no respect because he is not punishing them. A ruthless club would move him on and build a forward line around genuine competitors that take their chances and want to be involved in the game.

Kick fifty meters

Juice not worth the squeeze*

On Paper? Not this year.. 70 goals to Rd 13 between JVR, Turner, Petracca, Petty, Fritsch Melksham & Pickett. 77 to Rd 13 between Hill, Elliot, Membrey, Mihocek 4 of their Fwds have 7 of our most likely goal kickers covered.

That logic would hint at Tmac going back, Turner fwd with Jefferson and Laurie holding his spot.

Watching that game last week. It looked like we were trying to play an uncontested game, which if it was to stay fresh for KB is a stupid idea and goes against what Darren Burgess preached. Also after listening to Goodwin speak about Petracca 1 year onwards. I’m now worried Tracc will be over awed by the significance of this game and be distracted. I’d love to see Tracc come out and play with some aggression like he did against Carlton last year when he went Ken (Cameron 04 pre shoulder injury) Bruce.

With Viney not available. I can’t for the life of me see us beating the Pies. If we beat them, this will easily be one of Goodwin’s greatest wins.

Thumbs up is good enough for me! Haha

Great Interview Jeff White. He is a legend. Any off interview talk about the likelihood of Kalani coming to Melbourne?

Can you ask Jeff what he think’s our ideal starting 4 midfield is? The days of Oliver, Viney & Tracc starting in the middle together are over. Also what he see’s as our second starting mids are? As in when our 2nd ruck is on & our prime movers are resting fwd or on the bench.

Along came Melbourne.. https://www.instagram.com/reel/DKW2v8WJP4x/?igsh=a2Fvcjd6amIwM2Fq

Our record at this [censored] hole in Alice Springs now reads 4 wins 7 losses and no idea how to play this ground. Time to move on, we win that by 5 goals if it’s at the G.

Everyone knew it was coming except for goodwin. Too pig headed to manipulate the obvious tags. From a B grade battler club that survives on hand outs and reactionary emotion.

We should start pickett fwd and isolate windhanger deep.

A decade playing at this [censored] hole and we still don’t understand the wind. F this game off.

I feel for Laurie if he is made the sub again. He should start and if he’a quiet, bring Sharp on!

More Aidan Johnson Effect on Sunday please! https://www.instagram.com/reel/DKQhhi5SFVi/?igsh=ZDNqNjdmamQwNW12

Season is definitely alive if we beat the saints & we could be well and truly set if the club holds on yo Kozzi! Deebrief had a good chat about it with Robbo!

I couldn’t agree more, just let JVR dominate for a month and then come back in firing!

Also, I know he is abit of an “almost man” but my god AJ competes with everything he’s got. It’s refreshing to see a mature age player attacking every loose ball like he is playing for his rent! I think we are a better team with him in it. We need to keep playing AJ until he feels he belongs and then he’ll start taking those marks & kicking a couple of goals a game!

Ahhh ok. My bad!

Evening fellow Demonlanders! Goodwin said in his post game presser that we don’t have any spots open for the mid year draft.. Is this neglect or arrogance? We have 2 (McAdam & AMW) players listed with Season ending injuries. We would be mad not you put 1 if not both of them on the Long Term Injury List & go after the best of the rest! We could do alot worse than putting Riley Bonner on our list as depth or trying to pluck another fwd be that mid/key size. Good clubs pick up gems in the mid year draft.

Thanks for the shout out at the end!
