Demon Dynasty

Crazy shiiit. That 2nd quarter was as bad as we've played all year and then to win from nowhere. And we won with so many having a shocker. Thank Lucifer for Clarry!! Just refuses to lie down.

No he's been awful

Exactly....at least 3 times tonight. Once just before in our 50 but no free

Fritta's gone from 7 to crap in one week.

Traccs lack of effort to chase there was deplorable. One of his worst games tonight.

Is there any chance Max doesn't tap the ball forward? Its so ducking predictable

Finally some link up play.... and guess who finishes

Geelong.... clean hands AND... Composure / foot skills with ball in hand. We look like amatures in comparison.

We fumbled all night. They've come in to this severely off their game

Seriously if Max wasn't Capt he'd be on the Changes thread this week he's been bloody awful

Max & Macca have concrete boots on tonight

To have any chance of winning tonight we have to hit targets up within reasonable shooting angles. Going to the pocket won't cut it.

Notice the patience from BB there... ends in a lead mark and shot at goal

As I said ages ago...if you're going to put very little pressure on the opp coming out of your 50 your going to get beaten by most teams. By a team in the top 4....smashed.

Without Hibbo & Hunt. With Viney, Harmes and Sparrow in. We're slow as a wet week around the contest. Kozzie's the only one with break away pace/clean disposal and he's playing inside 50. This is why i wanted Sparrow out, Baker in and Gus into the middle at least for his skills and evasive abilities. Baker is a poor ball user but at least he has a chance of getting the ball i50 fairly quickly and give our forwards a chance. He's not alone in the poor delivery stakes coming inside 50. Also we look flat as a tack tonight. Forget the system. Where's the motivation? That's partially on SG IMV. Spargo, Sparrow, Dogga, Harmes, Viney bar his one goal), Macca barely sighted and Max soundly beaten in the ruck in that second quarter.

We fumble at ground level....they get clean pick ups and first use

Pressure non existent ...just guarding space isn't good enough at this level

Gave them way too much room in our forward half allowing them to settle .. same old same old from SG sadly.

Tracc's having a mare so far

Back to playing on at all costs get numbers to the contest footy. No smarts or patience in the way we're playing. Often kicking it straight to the opp coming inside 50. Go lateral if you have to or backwards FCS

Macca looks off so far. Will need better than that to win.

Why are we playing on at all costs and trying to thread the needle with passes too often? Also handballing to players that are one foot away. Very few are taking responsibility with ball in hand. Poor kicks coming inside 50 that started with Tracc... again. Also there are too many at the contest. Stay out and hassle your direct opponent. Pressure up in our forward half. Too much room / time for them to work. Harmes clean it up mate. Awful so far.

Sparrow ...VFL skills

The other thing to watch tonight....how do we cover the kick ins? Do we allow them half the field to play in like we've done before which has failed us badly? Certainly hope not. It has to be intense pressure from the get go starting pretty deep inside 50 for mine if we're to bring this one home

My worry tonight is the lack of run off HB without our usual runners Hibbo & Hunt. Might struggle to rebound but let's hope not.
