Why is it that we take forever to get going? Plus our entries into 50 ?. Even a half good Brown would get the ball to ground from which our smalls could rove. FMD, it’s sooooo simples.
-
Need to turn up mentally right from the first bounce. The rest will take care of itself.
-
Loved the ferals booing after the siren. They can all go EAD. Sometimes you just got to win ugly.
-
Sometimes footy is too simple for all the coaches and their ‘game plans’ in the FD to figure out.
-
Agree, Merrett/oompa loompa will take him to the ball.
-
Remind me again why Brown isn’t in the forward line today? Our entries are putrid. We need a half decent target up forward.
-
Yep, the start is critical. We seem to hinge on the belief that our system will reel teams in that get away from us. The filth loss hopefully showed the entire team that we cannot rely on that alone. Be proactive and come out like we did against the dogs.
-
What attitude do we want to bring to the second half of the season? There’s been a fair bit of talk from the boys since the filth debacle. Are they going to walk the talk and go hunting, or are they scared of being hunted? Time for Max to impose himself on a game, he’s well overdue. It starts and ends in the middle.
-
You’d probably need to chuck in our 2022 first rounder as well for that to happen.

Let Trac just focus on becoming the best footballer for our club without the extra weight of captaincy (I also think Max has suffered a little from this too, but apparently I’m in the minority on that). Viney relished in the role of captain and took his game to his best level of footy, but unfortunately he is just way too injury prone. Give it to Lever in a year or 2 and let Max just worry about his body and footy in the latter stages of his career. The poor bugger gets nothing from the umps game after game.

If Ben Brown doesnt play the rest of the year
Demon Disciple replied to picket fence's topic in Melbourne Demons
Brown has way more of a presence and attracts several defenders. Weid is lost at sea. Easy swap for mine. We have Jacko as a tall who can also provide ground ball pressure. -
Won’t be after the dogs play next week and we have the bye.
-
If it was our call to play the game at the SCG, it was a very bad call. Ground is way too small for us to open up teams with our run (though we would’ve lost by more today given our lack of effort).
-
They can have him. Has to be the softest KPF in the league.

If Ben Brown doesnt play the rest of the year
Demon Disciple replied to picket fence's topic in Melbourne Demons
Weideman has absolutely no presence as a forward target. Needs to be dropped. Give Brown the rest of the year to see what he can do. -
Yep, time for Trac and especially Clarry to take a good look at themselves. Not playing team footy at the moment.
-
This is on the entire footy department. Playing group too arrogant to even turn up thinking it’ll just happen, coaching group unable to get the guys focussed/refocused during the game.
-
Never seen him turn the course of a game. Never seen him turn his form around during a game when he is having a mare.
-
Said it before and I’ll say it again, Gawn is not captain material
-
Generally it’s not the ones they pay, but the ones they don’t. They are very inconsistent with their decisions.

Nathan Buckley Steps Down as Collingwood Coach
Demon Disciple replied to roy11's topic in Melbourne Demons
Ross Lyon is a list destroyer. Picks his favourites and gets the best out of them, but cannot develop any up and coming players to save himself. Would love him to go to the Filth. -
Nathan Buckley Steps Down as Collingwood Coach
Demon Disciple replied to roy11's topic in Melbourne Demons
5 days until the game is played, so if the filth players’ build it up they will be mentally drained. If they love him so much, why have they played so poorly for him. Should’ve been doing it for him the entire time. No doubt they’ll play more aggressive, we’ll just get them on the counter (it’s how we split open the Lions in the 2nd half). If our boys turn up to play, we bank the 4 points. -
Admittedly I am not Goody’s biggest fan, nor will I think him to be the ‘right’ coach until he wins the thing, however, watching TMAC on the footy show yesterday, he said that for all the criticism he has faced over the last 2 years being head coach, he should also therefore equally be receiving the plaudits from the naysayers (including myself) for how the team is travelling this year. I cannot disagree with this. Do I think he deserves a contract extension? Ask me again in 4 months time. If we achieve the ultimate, forget the contract, cos he’d deserve instant immortality. Long ways to go yet though.

Number is the easy part. Has to be Kossies 36

Lockdowns are not the answer, vaccinations are. Unfortunately with the shambolic roll out of the vaccines, we are currently between a rock and a hard place.o
