Demon Dynasty

Still a basketballer trying his best to play footy IMO. Shows promise and glimpses but if you can't kick the simple goals or play the percentages often enough then you are effectively wasted as a forward and shouldn't play there. Play the season out as an inside / outside mid replacing Jones who takes over Tracc's present role up forward. If Tracc cant get it going and/or start hitting the scoreboard more often (assuming Goody refuses to recognise Tracc forward is a fail!) then subject to a decent trade deal, i would have to agree. Time to get some decent value while it's still potentially there.

Exactly what i thought FIB....No one flew the flag. At the very least someone shouldve grabbed Vardy and thrown him into the turf !!! Weak as [censored] from the defenders around him.

Nothing is a disgrace in the umpires eyes out west LC if it results in a WC win. The record free kick differential out west has been going on for a decade now and shows no sign of easing up. It is clearly corrupted and the AFL apparently happy for it to continue. No wonder they are regular finals contenders. Their home games are almost always a lock win unless the opposition has a fabulous day out. On the flip side it is no coincidence they have such a poor record away. No extra men on the field!!

Too tall for McGovern WTM and with all our horrid bombing he gets a run at the ball to at least bring it to ground crashing packs if they're playing in front or marking out the back. Pruess was a must in for tonight. BOG according to many last week against top of the ladder Essendrug. We'll agree to disagree.

I'm not talking permanently down back CB. It would have worked for tonight (after half time once it was clear he wasn't going to impact) and maybe a week or two until we get Lever/May back in the team. Tmac isn't kicking goals or clunking marks so it's either down back or he is dropped to try and find some form in the McGoos for Pruess. Petty in front of Pruess cost us the match in the end (along with some horrid disposal, simple shots at goal and usual corrupt umpiring out west). Petty was ok but wasn't the correct selection for this match. Pruess in would have helped Maxy also.

Time to review our entire forward line for 2020. At this point Hunt would be the only lock. Pruess for Petty was a poor non selection. T-Mac could have played Petty's role and was playing down back for a.short time anyway at one point. Fritsch isn't a backman's bootlace I'm not sure why we are persisting here. Time to go forward? Or dropped. Lockhart might need a spell? The FD must start playing Jones more at HF and the bench and IF we keep persisting with Tracc he slowly takes over from Jones through the mid as an inside/outside. FCS he can't kick a goal, why are we persisting with this losing set up!!!????? When will Goody wake up to the Jones/Tracc switch??????

No penetration and never kicks to the favoured side of opponent or pulls the ball to deliver in front of player. Couldn't finish a basic gimme shot running in from 20 out. Sorry but he just doesn't earn a spot other than a small amount of receive run. He also often runs lateral and rarely takes the game on. He stays for now until we can bring in better during the year and then trade. Solid VFL player when under less pressure with more time/space.

3 quarters of chaos ....smashed them and couldn't put a winning score on the board. Exhausted plus plenty of umpiring assistance and the Eagles coast away

Stretch not up to it sorry. Woeful finish given to him on a platter. W Not ONE set of clean hands up forward in about 4 attempts there

Fritschkreig.....simply a very poor game tonight and that's probably the ball game

PRUESS for PETTY!!!!! Have we lost this at the selection table????

One Handed THROOOOOOOOOW!!!!!!!!!!!!! FOUR UMPIRES!!

Petty instead of Pruess looking VERY costly tonight. Brayshaw back to Casey pls for anybody till he finds his mojo. How.was that NOT a dangerous tackle against the Bull????????

Clarry that's your 2 horrible disposals for that goal

What the hell's with the ridiculously loose zone on that kick in. Too shallow and too much space....cost us a cheap goal!!!

We habe SMASHED them in general play ..but again our forward craft and work rate is just diabolical. Should be 8 goals up!! TRACC WTF. Jeffy into the mid field pushing forward has him up and about finally!!

Tracc cant take a basic overhead. Petty rubbish handball to Jones! Jeffy can't finish off a basic running goal.

I agree but only because there is no May or Lever. He is borderline 22 until one of them returns.

Because he isn't wearing a black and white jumper... (interference...Grundy!!)

Stretch's kicking inside 50 ....blah !!! TRAC THAT IS [censored] RUBBISH!!!!

Jones' disposal has been horrid apart from his first goal as was Fritschkreig's first few and pretty ordinary after that as well. We should be 3 to 4 goals ahead by now.

It's called turning your man or taking the tackle....he is devoid of evasive skills and confidence with ball in hand and instead always panic gives to either someone about to be set upon or out to no where in particular as soon as there's a bit of heat on. Has no assets other than staying close to his man but then rarely wins in a one on one. May's slackness has cost us in this role big time this year.

Oscar panic handball to Salem ...sells him in to trouble as he has no legs at all

Tracc pls get your kicking right mate. Give him no other task on the track this week but working on his kicking on the run and set shots. Stretch the same! How far off it is Gus!????

Why Pruess is not playing is beyond me... i cant see any decent reason to suggest he would not be a huge asset up forward the way we bring the ball in tonight and as an assist to Maxy rucking up forward. The more i watch the more it needs to be Pruess for Smith. I'm not saying Smith won't play some sort of role later in the match and might even kick the winner or be involved in the winning play but Pruess offers the marking/rucking ability as well as a very difficult / unusual match up that would worry the Coaster's back 6 and set the cat amongst the pigeons. Jeffy would be happier too IMO and grow another leg with Andre throwing his weight around.
