They won’t smash us like that in the midfield again so not going to panic. But we’ve got some work to do if that’s our strongest team.
-
Smashed in the stoppage. Played too much of the game in our d50. Struggling for forward connection. Can’t remember May playing a worse game. Still reckon we’d have them covered in finals.
-
Can’t win a clearance. Need to dominate stoppage from here.
-
Would help if we could win a clearance
-
Would kill for an i50 entry like that kick to Duncan
-
Why was Bradshaw standing 5m back from the mark?
-
Why the hell did Hibbo try to mark that?
-
Neale-Bullen’s pressure has been awesome tonight but gee his disposal and decision making can be woeful
-
Is that the best quarter we’ve played all year? That’s the first time in ages I feel like I’m watching the team from late last year. Hope we can keep it going in the second half and kick-start the second half of the season. Our best is still the best in it.

Don't forget we lost to both the Bulldogs and GWS in regular season last year. Both played (and won) finals but our best level was way too good when it mattered. We went through our form slump at the right time. I'm still confident that our best footy is unbeatable but a mid season blip is inevitable. We just need to make sure we hit our straps at the right time and build fitness and form in our key players as the finals approach.

GAMEDAY: Rd 10 vs North Melbourne
Radar Detector replied to Whispering_Jack's topic in Melbourne Demons
Everything about us looks super sloppy right now. Don’t think we’ll lose but haven’t played this poorly in a long time. -
We don’t even look like a finals side let alone flag favourites

This is a hard watch
-
I wouldn’t say he struggles to play consistently at Port. Has been a regular in the side for a while now, good pace, great kick and averages >23 disposals per game over the last couple of seasons.
-
Just watched the replay, I think ANB was average. Quite a few poor turnovers, a couple of really easy set shot misses and tried to take on the tackler and got caught HTB several times. That said, his work ethic is massive and he is defensively important. He also got in good spots and won plenty of the ball. So would keep him in. Lever for Smith is a no brainer, huge upgrade. Viney for Dunstan is also the most logical swap for team balance given Sparrow, Jordon and Harmes are all contributing.
-
Time will tell if this is true or not. I’m not sure how exactly you measure the % a team is going at (although all the commentators like to try) but if King had kicked straight they win that game by 8+ goals and we’re not even having this conversation.
-
Being able to win ugly can be the mark of a good side. They’re banking wins. We haven’t looked amazing every week either.

GAMEDAY: Rd 04 vs Port Adelaide

4-0 is a great start but we’ll need to snap into a much higher gear to keep the roll going -

Harmes is having a great game -

Played on our terms but a pretty bog ordinary game of footy so far. -
The demise of Geelong is a bit like our premiership felt to me about a month ago - a real possibility but I’ll believe it when I see it. A team that consistently makes preliminary finals, did so again this year, and was leading a GF only 12 months ago is hard to write off even though the list profile is unsustainable. They’ll fall off a cliff eventually, but I recall the same sort of discussion after 2010 and they won the flag the next year.

What exactly is Ch7 doing right now? -

We will reset. A couple of silly mistakes changed the momentum. But it’s going to go to the wire now. Boys need to lift and get a bit of confidence back. -
Not important @Lucifer's Hero but I think Jordon will be a FA when his contract is up because he was delisted at one stage? And agree with others… the list looks in really good shape. Would love to get long term deals locked away for LJ and Clarry!
