Demon Dynasty

Clarry wasnt the worst in that 1st half. Not great. Same with Viney. Along with May, can they bullock and drag this lot out of the mud pit to a narrow win?

He stands off his man and rarely gets touch unless it's a long bomb near the goal square. One of the worst defenders outside the hot zone with any half reasonable athletic opponent who has a tad bit of toe/break away burst. He's awful and i would be going through him on the lead as much as possible if i was the opp. I would even switch to get it there as it will pay off most of the time as long as that forward has his kicking boots on. Yet Goody keeps on keeping on. Amazeballs.

I don't usually take any notice of Derwayne but his comment "too much Hollywood" summed it up perfectly

There's only one team in the AFL that can build you up and let you down so religiously. Don't even bother with finals pls. We'll be embarrassed....again.

Playing duds into AFL winning form ...yet again. Pathetic defence and terrible forward 50 pressure / competitiveness also. This forward line is rooted.

Floren just walking through traffic like it was under 16s there. My gosh

So who's on Pap guys? What a disaster at selection and so far on the day this has been

why are all three of Weid, Brown and Fritta all going up at the drop? One of Fritta or Brown should be leading away from there fmd

If not for Clarry, Gus and May crikey

Jones seriously awful stuff. Goody you need to pull the trigger and bring Harley in pls

Would love to know what his role is. Has he even touched it so far?

i'm getting an awful feeling the injection of Oscar and Smith (can probably afford to carry one max) is gonna cost us big time here.

As i said a few weeks ago, he's a very good reader of the play and intercept defender, but gee for a bloke who cost us in the draft and gets paid $800 k a year or so, Lever's loopy kicking and sharpness under pressure is bog ordinary.

Nice to see Harmes on the ball. Adds another attacking bullocking mid around the contest. I actually prefer him here to Viney. I'd be playing him (Viney) roughly 70/30 Small/medium forward / Mid a la Papely style

Yes he made that turnover happen and set up the goal.

Spargo 6 goals from 6 shots.... running at 100% goal kicking efficiency!

WHy the hec is Tomlinson at FF!? Wow what a mess up forward. Fix it Goody. Tell those who shouldn't be there, including Fritta and Melk to GTFO and play higher!

They look flat as a tack and all running kicking forward in straight lines. Switch or 45 to change the angle of attack and make it harder for the opp to defend

One option... Get all players, other than Spargo & Weid, to lead their players to the arc or just outside. Leave those two with space in front and space behind them for Brown to lead back into. Wow O-Mac....5 meters off his man left in no man's land there. And all players running forward of the ball before that caught out on the turnover. Ordinary stuff Demons. Saved by Harmes on that.

Where's a small front n square? Unbelievably bad structure on that entry

Younger inexperienced teams often go super hard early. Just need to stay in touch in the first here.

Nice flat sharp pass from Melk there and a solid contested mark from Brown

Yep.... i reckon that's a possible 5 goal decision right there. Already involved in that first score.

Some very astute work there Dee.... i agree re the backline looking settled and nicely balanced prior to the Doggies match. Much of the loss was us not locking down on the Bont who had one of his usual day outs againt us plus a horrid effort from the forwards who applied some low level pressure inside 50 and allowed the Dogs to waltz out and transition too easily off HB for multiple score launches. I don't mind Rivers for Lockhart though although with Hibb out i believe he was a must in this week.... not Smith. And you are right, we shouldn't be relying on one player down back to be bailing us out every other week. Not gonna happen against the better clubs.
