Demon Dynasty

Great tackle by Maj in our forward pocket a few minutes ago

Fab tackle from Maj in our pocket just now

Cats are gnawing away on Eagle bones today

Yep a few cheapies being handed out in that 2nd quarter. He gave it back though and flew the flag for Deaklyn. Whoever hit him high got reported

Jetta & Munro pretty good for mine as well. BB had a decent 2nd quarter out of the forwards. Foot hit up a couple of nice targets ...looks handy around the arc

Oh rightio ...who is the Vanders look alike then i wonder

Munro Sparrow Bowey Jetta White & Smith (in that order) with the most disposals that quarter

Siren for half time Demons 55 Tigers 23

Free to Nev back pocket. Ball spills on the arc...Tigers gather...missing on the run from 45

Deep in Tiges pocket...defending grimly

Tiggers get one back after a great mark over Maj in the pocket Demons 55 Tigers 22?

Questionable mark paid to BB at 55...goes short and hits up Maj 30 out on slight angle. Misses by a country mile

Baker getting a few possies but disposal a little off at the moment

Nice work off half back from Bowey to Hutchy to Vanders but resulting kick up the line heads OOB

Foot finds BB with another lovely pass i50. Kicks true from 40! Foot has a lovely foot

Someone hits up White after a turnover ...shooting from 40 odd. Misses

Kicks a behind from long range. Grey is also getting involved a fair bit

Munro getting down n dirty as usual. Free kick on the wing kicks to Maj for the big clunker at CHF

Guys/Gals i have a spare free ticket up for a genuine MFC member. Sitting at Ponsford end. It is in the open behind cheer squad. You will need proof of membership pls. PM me if interested. Keep in mind i barrack pretty loudly but I'll try & be on half decent behavior mode

We need to hold our structures around contested ball ups and down the line as well so they don't have the outlet space and often putting them under pressure with numbers. In the first quarter I would love to see us go all out attack without overly worrying about shutting them down, aside from a run with on Dusty, and try and get a decent 3 goal or more lead at quarter time. If we are level pegging or worse at quarter time it's going to be a tough ask for the remainder but you never know if most of the boys are on.

Thanks D11...the direction one is a little confusing as neither add up to 100%. Although it appears to indicate the Eagles are taking about 14% more shots fron the centre area.

That will only come if we are not honouring so many leads to the pocket or a little higher towards the flanks imho. It's been a bug bear of mine for a while. Fritta, while a lovely kick much of the time, does it far too often imv and why i believe the inclusion of BB (once he's had a few weeks to find his legs and get match fit) will make a big impact here and see us either icing games earlier against the good clubs/or a few more significant blow outs against lessor lights. Can't wait for him to come in, hopefully against his old club next week. His inclusion should also see the main tall defender taken away from TMac, hopefully freeing him up a little more allowing him to become a tad more dangerous/damaging. It's one of our few weaknesses remaining that once ironed out should see us in good stead as the season progresses and should we make finals.

Wrapped to see these two back. My only worries...are they both back a game too early? May copped a massive knock and Fritta with a hand that surely can't be 100% ready either. He might not need that hand for the ball drop but he'll sure need it for marking and tackling attempts. I realise the FD is all over these things and i defer to their better judgement of course but that nagging doubt still lingers. Should have a pretty fair idea how they're both traveling by half time anyways.

LJ is starting to hold his own in the ruck, even winning a few contests now. Is also very handy at ground level competing well. I could be wrong (a regular thing!) but i can't see how he would be anywhere near the 'Ins / Outs' radar or discussion at this stage.
