Demon Dynasty

It's more likely the extra fatigue those up the field are placed under when the balls coming in are hardly ever marked and the resulting spilled ball just shoots straight back out, almost a no crumbing forward line not helping here as well AF. We are also devoid of quality crumbing smalls who can pounce and snap! In addition we are so inaccurate (in general) that there is little time to recover, kicking so many behinds with the opp immediately playing on from the square much of the time. No time to recover, set up and defend effectively. Also it doesn't help when for example, an experienced player like ANB, takes a mark close to goal then fails to use up the shot clock and take a set shot at the goals. Instead playing on almost immediately to kick around the corner and missing. With the resulting kick in coming almost immediately back at our press / defenders and mids. It's mind numbing non awareness like this that causes extra fatigue and impairs our defender's ability to set up effective defensive structures and maintain the pressure for repeat entries and additional scoreboard pressure. The opp often scoring immediately on the sling shot as a result and making our previous efforts null and void. This is as much of a list issue as it is a coaching/training issue. So may players just "doing" without assessing or seemingly little if any any awareness of playing the percentages and eaking out every little advantage for the benefit of the team. Huge pre-season fixes on the track and trade table required if we are to improve enough to make finals next year.

There were players around Pruess on some occasions but too many got sucked to the skinny side for some forsaken reason. When the ball spilled inside the Blues easily outnumbered us and waltzed it inside 50 again. This is either a coaching issue or a player IQ issue for those who keep mucking up these basic structures on set plays. Or a combo. Leadership also. Who is telling these guys "dont get sucked to the skinny...stay fat of your opponent!!"???

What what...say what!!???

Should have been happening most of the year GYM. One can play multiple roles, impacts the game and, as you stated, a difficult match up forward, while the other...?

Potential for a severe self flagulation if watch anything other than 3rd quarter, a quarter which resembled something like modern football CB

A must goal given some horrible turnovers

Jones finally on the ball after the games nearly gone

We are gone if Goody doesnt move lewis out of the middle for Viney or Jones. Why the [censored] are both down back anyway amd Lewis in the middle!!!??? Why is Lewis even in?

Lewis out of the middle....direct swap for Jones!

Hunts handball...what a disgraceful turnover

Whoever gets to 100 first wins the match. 4 points away!!

Because the footy gods said "thats enough of that!"

Frostmeister!

That wasn't Pruess after half time. He has a stand in that just looks & plays like him. I've been reliably informed by a few on here throughout the year that he can't play more than one half ?

71% by foot this quarter vs 59% last quarter. Amazing what happens when you slow the game down a little and look for players by foot....and more players lead up

Wow Gus has no intensity or intent whatsoever to close down on his opponent when we lose possession.

Bit of tempo, thought and possession game this quarter across mid field.

Perfect banana technique! Play him out out of the pocket!

Poorly coached/drilled or no football brain. Or a combo of both. Even our younger inexperienced players have generally gone backwards from last season under Goody aside from new ones that haven't been in the system long enough to be effected at senior level (Lockhart).

Everybody up in the marking contest ... leave as little numbers on the deck as possible and allow the opposition extra numbers to run off when the ball spills! Coaching Goody!

Lewis didnt want the contact... why was he recalled?

Pruess and a first game rookie are more intelligent/skilled than half the list!!

Is there any chance Weid could impact a game early??

Wtf was the umpire doing there.....thats roughly thr third bounce thats gone outside the circle that wasnt recalled. Has the rule changed?

Is Gus playing for us???
