Demon Dynasty

I think we seriously need to think about Brown Dog now. The guy helped turn the match against the peptides last night. White line fever that we seriously lack from some and a crazy link up gut runner. Wow what a mess up forward we are Just a complete horror show bar Kozz

[censored] panic kick from Disco

Bring in Woe for Sparrow. Sparrow just too ineffective far too often

Petty can't kick over a barn door

Talk about amature from Petracca

Tracc just has to kick it to Melk's favoured side there but instead kicks it on his [censored] HEAD! 12 point turn around. [censored] pathetic

Petty should be out for T-Mac Lever out for Adams Turner goes forward

Much better out of the middle there. Hands finally working

This is the same rubbish we witnessed vs the Saints This club is going nowhere under Simon

Turner should be on JHF May to Georgiados. Not saying he wouldve stopped that entry but this should be the match up. Win for the oppo... loss for us

He's been rubbish the last 2 weeks. Shocking selection by Simon and Co. in preference to T-Mac who, bar coming off the boil a little in his last few matches before being dropped, was crazy good in defence. Another horror decision from Simon

Always the late goal in red time. So poorly coached

Serious question. Who was Rooh kicking it to then? Who is Viney running straight ahead towards then kicking it straight ahead at full tilt???? Why does he never stop / prop, run around and try to find a free player?

You can see we're screaming out for a genuinely tall KF. We just cough up too many potential contested marks to ordinary oppo defenders

Fumble city inside 50 and we let them exit out far too easily. Forward craft and general forward play is a joke fest.

Howes bah. Not sure why he was re-signed. Handball is shizen in general. We turn it over under little to no pressure far too often.

Rivers....kick it forward when you're surrounded like that. Instead tries to pick it up, doesn't get to it, then decides (too late) to try and kick it off the ground.

A VG last quarter against the peptides. Just needs a few pre-seasons and about 8 years in the gym and he'll be right to go.

Disco by the length of the Flemington He can play back whenever. He knows that role by heart. Our D is solid with or without him provided T-Mac comes back in. Not sure why he was dropped in the first place. For one match as a managed option i get. But not permanently as Simon has done. Another one of his perplexing decisions that ends up biting us on the arzzz. We simply can't / don't kick enough goals given the amount of entries we have. While Disco won't be the panacea to our woes, every little bit helps. Petty and T-Mac (for Lever) will easily cover off down back. At least for the rest of this season anyways. Alternatively Lever for Petty. Whichever works on the day with match ups between those two (Lever or Petty, not both). T-Mac should be a permanent fixture in this team bar the odd 'managed' game. Start blooding Adams or at least seeing what he brings for Petty before year's end. No brainer.

I only saw the first half DZ so i'll take your word for it re Josh etc. Certainly sounded like we kept kicking it in straight lines to the advantage of the likes of Howe & Moore. Bringing it in in panic and in straight lines is one of my biggest irks when watching this team. We occasionally show glimpses that we are getting it. Changing angles, lowering vision and hitting up leading or free targets but then too often revert back to the former. Super frustrating that we're now past our third season of doing this and also still haven't found a dangerous tall KF. As much as i admire the effort i'm just too frustrated to keep watching now. Generational waste of some super talent on this list and so many gettable / winnable games (finals opps) being wasted before our very eyes.

Team & Player Ratings to Rnd 13, 2025 vs H&A Season 2024 Still marginally ahead of 2021 Team Rating but now dropping away vs 2022 & 2023 I've been saying it for a few seasons now and still the case... lacking a dangerous KF. * Played less than two full matches < Subbed out at least once or more > Subbed in at least once or more Stats courtesy of footwire.com & wheeloratings.com

Thanks mate. Going 'all in' isn't usually my gig on most rookies and no gtees any of them will make the step up but there was 'special' written all over young Kozz from the get go. And yes all credit to him and the club to getting where he is now. Just needs to mature a tad, eliminating the undisciplined non 'team' slip ups from here (not alone... looking at Fritta et al) and we're looking good.

LJ ... "Hey bruh, good to go here. Sign away mate! See ya soon"
