Demon Dynasty

There's no way of telling anyone of importance at the club. It's a closed shop now with zero input from fans in terms of letting anyone of importance within the club know about any grievances or constructive criticism / suggestions / ideas etc. Probably the same at most clubs i assume.

Still a soft underbelly at this club. Whenever the expectations grow or are high in a 'should win' sense we far too often shiiite the bed. On the reverse, whenever we have zero expectations of winning, we often come out and play our best. Nothing has changed forward of centre either. Still one of the worst in terms of clearing out our forward line and converting basic set shots at even AFL average levels. Panic panic panic which all started with Kozzy's absolute shizen attempt with his first shot at goal and we went downhill from there. This is not a solid footy team. There's just too many gaps and weaknesses and alot of it is between the ears. That's on both players and coaches.

We are seriously a bunch of pretenders since 2021. Just making up the numbers

Nothing

Yep im not sure why we changed the winning formula. It was a regress backwards when we didn't need to

It all started with Kozzy's BS attempt and the 12 point turn around

Swap Petty for Disco Leave Disco , Koz and Melk on their own i50 as much as poss

You gotta give up something to get something. We have enough tall defenders to cover Disco. I'd send him forward and see what he can bring. We aint winning this without kicking straight from here

Free kick to Riv... held far too long after he disposed

Sharp not so sharp there

7.13 😅

HOORAY!

Petty is playing school yard footy in an I.Q. decision making sense. Just horrible

Petty my god

Kozzy forward to try and shake the tag pls

Is it my imagination or has Lingers been super quiet?

The fact that we haven't told Max to give the kick or HB off by now after he takes a mark i50 is just ridiculous.

Of late he'd be lucky to be kicking at about 25% accuracy. Probably worse. No point taking the kick!

Last time i looked, when you get tackled and swung around and drop the ball it's incorrect disposal!

Why does Max walk backwards without looking to give off to somebody or HB to a player coming from behind. YOU JUST HAVE TO [censored] SET PLAY THAT EVERY TIME BECAUSE AS WE ALL KNOW....MAX CAN'T BLOODY KICK A GOAL! Wake up Melbourne FFS

Finally some man on man happening

Track, McVee and Windsor ✅️

Great chase down but shocking decision to kick so deep from Petty. Not smart. Especially from someone so experienced.

We still have no ability to shut teams down who get a run on. There's no change up and/or ability to go man on man in key areas of the ground pressure / worry the opponent off their game. We continue to just zone as normal and hope they'll make mistakes with their footwork and disposal in general play bringing pretty sub-standard pressure

He has no body strength in the contest most of the time unless he's on a favourable match up. Not enough to hold down any key forward role at AFL level anyway. There's no burst speed off the mark either. That lack of strengh / power off the mark means he is most often unble to get separation to hold / create space or lead up. Generally he just isn't mobile enough or powerful enough in any form to hold down a KF role and be effective at it. Not sure what the FD are seeing in him as a KF. He's also well covered as a Tall Defender by the likes of T-Mac at the moment. I just wouldn't play him at all and instead look to the likes of Jeffo, JVR (if he hits AFL worthy form at some point) as forwards and if we need another tall defender, start blooding Adams instead.
