Demon Dynasty

Ruck assistance up forward for sure. JVR a critical 'IN' from here If we're to perform well in Sept. We continue to play Grundy for significant minutes in third quarters. Unfortunately this allows the oppo to dominate the CBs and swing the momentum back their way. Goody & Co. need to review this strat. Max starting CBs from the opening bounce and playing most of the time there in third quarters is a must if we're to have a chance against the really in form clubs imv.

Them's the breaks Bystander. Can't carry players in a form slump at this level for weeks on end in the hope it somehow clicks in a future match at some point. Too costly and can be the difference on the day. Possibly even the diff between a top 4 spot or missing out on the double chance. If we were sitting 3 games or more clear its a little different and gives the SC a bit more wriggle room.

Can't see the SC bringing Harmes back for some time after last week's performance. There's some very good performances happening at Casey of late. Follow up results this week might see one or two sticking their hand up. The two small forward spots in particular must surely be up for grabs along with Smith's sub position. In particular JVR, Jefferson, Sestan, Dunstan, Moniz and Chandler will be interesting watches. Another good result from JVR surely sees him come in to join BB. Subject to bringing that form it would be crazy not to have him in against the Lions. Best to take a good look at the Casey performance today before making calls on ins/outs.

Has to be at least two weeks at Casey. Became the invisible man last night and mostly ball watching / chasing tail. He had one effective spoil, a couple of effective disposals (barely), i think a few turnovers and a couple of tackles / pressure acts. Zero impact on the match and in general play. Really sad to watch. He is so badly out of form he can't even gather a loose ground ball atm and mostly just over runs them leaving it to others to get, including the oppo. Still going for last minute speckie attempts against big boys up forward and never takes them. No front and square work or effective work. Any touch he had earlier in the season has completely gone. If Moniz can string another game or two with the form he showed last week, plus some serious defensive heat inside 50, there's no reason he shouldn't be in serious contention as an alternative. Subject to bringing that, he could be very close to joining Woe on debut. Kozzy's left the door ajar big time and not just with last night's performance.

Sensational

Tracc's finally found his radar 👏🏼

Neither rucks are close to being at AFL level form tonight. At least one should be powering over the top of this mob in this second half.

Ok folks . .. so remember that dump kick from Salo there. Under heat thats gonna happen 8 out of 10 times. And guess what.... you need a solid marking player, preferrably a genuine CHF right where Sparrow was there. Fix that and you solve a gapping hole in this forward structure and give alot more confidence to those up the field coming towards 50

Tracc another horror HB in the middle to no one's advantage. Hold on to the ball if you cant find a man! Even a free for HTB is a better outcome. So panicky around the contest. No poise or composure

Fab goal Snake!!!

Horrid

Thank Lucifer for Maysie!

No...CHF!

Poor choice to play Grundy I'd much rather have JVR down there. Or Smith! Grundy is not the answer. Tap bros experiment should have been killed off three or four weeks ago. Grundy sub (at best)

If we lose this it will be as a result of losing the 2nd ball to the Saints . Very few crumbers at the drops, shocking at loose ball gets and contested ball gets. Can't maintain a chain beyond about 3 or 4 possessions Still cant find targets inside and not enough forwards lead or time their leads at all towards the ball carrier. Talls / mediums continue to sit back at the top of the square or just outside the goal line. Where are the short shallow kicks (on occasions) to a leading forward around 40 to 50 meters out to at least maintain possession, have a shot at goal, eat up the clock and give our mids a rest and HBs more time to set up an effective wall?????????? The Saints were dominated for most of that quarter and we could still barely convert after so many entries. Forward craft Pffft! CRAPPOLA!

We are far too easily beaten when the ball hits the deck inside 50!! Woeful at ground level.

Grundy is Mr fumbles far too often

Why does Goodwin insist on playing Grundy at CBs for major minutes in the third when we're on top! ABSOLUTE LOSING STRATEGY! Put the foot on the neck! MAX IN THE [censored] MIDDLE TO START THE THIRD FCS!!

Dazzle would be happy... Kozzy in the middle!

HOORAY!!!

Get it in quickly like that and thats the reason you need BB in there. He worries the [censored] out of defenders and draws frees and or sometimes marks

Some horrible decisions happening from senior players. Petty's had a few nice spoils but other than that he looks out of sorts for mine. Tomo well ahead form wise IMHO and still a poor decision to swap him out when they did.

Poor decision by Gus to HB there
