Round 12, 2023 MCG - Demons vs Blues Pretty hard to watch, especially 59 inside 50s for only 61 points, but a win's a win. Tracc topping the ratings again... 22 effectives @ 69%, 1 contested mark (great to see as he rarely takes them, think this as the one on the arc and he then shot a pass to Chandler directly in front), 2 marks i50, 7 clearances, 3 rebounds, 4 inside 50s, 4 tackles, 9 score involvements, 9 intercepts, 307 meters gained and a goal. The only blight, a hefty 9 turnovers the most on the night from both teams. Surprise surprise the Tomo effect! Lever notching up his best rating for the year, knocking off his 4.150 against the Lions in Rnd 2. Including a game high 12 intercepts and 8 one percenters (2nd best on the night). Fritsch posts a season high rating eclipsing his 2.95 against the Eagles in Rnd 4. We have to go all the way back to Rnd 22, 2021 vs the Crows for a rating higher than this where he posted a 4.375 Let's take a peek... 13 effectives @ 72%, 3 contested marks, 4 marks inside 50, one 1 percenter, 5 inside 50s, 1 tackle, 8 score involvements, 3 intercepts, 397 meters gained (pretty impressive for a guy that usually plays as a fairly deep forward), 2 goals and just the one miserly turnover. Roohey's highest rating of his short career. Some of his highlights included 14 effectives @ 87%, 2 contested marks inside 50, 2 tackles inside 50, 3 inside 50s, 6 score involvements, 1 intercept, 268 meters gained and a goal with only 1 turnover.

Maxys left planting foot ....ducked outwards to the left as usual and that's where the ball skewed. I dont get how he cant fix that at least most of the time???

Can we pls get soemone into the club to teach forward entry and forward craft... We really need to. It's not even VFL standard

Max in the middle..... YAHOOO!

Premiership quarter...chance to put them away and Goody goes with the inferior Grundy in the middle!!???????????????????????????????????????????

Errr maybe not so ok now 😮‍💨

Judd's our cleanest ball user with the best disposal and run

Some of these kicks from outside the arc have so such poor penetration (keep it clean folks!)

Who would you rather have up forward? Max with 46% accuracy Or Grundy with 67%

Big ask for Tomo but been ok at times to date. Very flakey free to Mckay for his last shot

A very hard game to watch but last weeks was worse imv Gawny is competing but wow ... nothing like the Big Max we've known over recent years after the return. Needs a serious vitamin B injection

Please send a photo of whatever you're drinking 227

3 times softer than Carltanks this week. Head barely touched the grass. Got up straight away with no issues at all

Hasn't played at this level for ages. Needs at least 2 matches at this level to find the pace surely. He's got to a few contests and a decent chase down at one point. Needs to hit the scoreboard a few times in this second half though. A few other regular campaigners up forward in the NQR mix in that first half also.

Looks like most have learned to take the outside 5 for OOTFs.... HOORAY!!

Spargoat what was that

And there's the evener upper to Mckay... well done umps

A soft free to us inside 50.... well well

Dont think Sparrows too happy with that steel

Breathe easy minions and fill your fat furry ears with the sounds of Black Sabbath's Black Sabbath.... WE GOT ROBBO ON THE BLOWER TONIGHT!!!

My Disney wish list tonight ... > White line fever from all > Going quick is great if oppo offers that but nothing wrong with momentum either. Look for 45s & switches if on. Down the line is last resort but fine if outnumber / misatch spotted. > Forwards...bring the heat for 3 plus quarters i50 > Key / Medium Forwards separate and lead up at the carrier a little earlier & higher. Fritsch out the back and to either flank. > Mids to lower vision & honour up the guts / fat side leads where possible. To the front of goal square or fat side of goal square if 1 v 1 or better > Small forwards max pressure and get busier. Get to dangerous spots more often front & square. > Up in their face from the get go > Max mostly in the middle. Grundy mostly around ground and forward Big games from the big four... Max, Tracc, Viney & May plus Reg! WIN AT ALL COSTS! Carn' the Mighty Demons!

Just the tonic me thinks. Crank things up and get back to somehwere near our best in time for Clarry's return & finish strongly coming into the bye

Agree with that. Our most in-form medium/tall forward at Casey, strong at the contest & timing leads nicely. Goes missing for fair chunks of game time though but it won't matter so much if he hits the scoreboard with 2 or 3 and brings some decent pressure. Will need better service up the field than we've been bringing of late though. Same for our other forwards along with them bringing some system / method in terms of separation and timing of leads / presenting. Dog's breakfast last week. Still think we need a big Key Tall to take their biggest / best defender and free up JVR / Smith / Fritsch a little more and be the big target go to on a lead for those under pressure breaking from stoppage. At least one too many small / medium forwards. BB in for ANB is the obvious one for mine
