Just hate to be critical of Trac but geez when you are having 58 shots at goal and your going at <30% it hurts the team - hopefully he can straighten up and quick

Dogs are weak in defence and I personally can't see them really challenging until they sort that out They have plenty in reserve at the front end it seems so maybe a Naughton move if they can get a key defender in is not so impossible to contemplate He would be the perfect fit for us

Yes it was Ed Your fans are just unbelievable - never had duck for dinner

We seem to be getting hurt with quick transition. Usually our players elect to stand on the mark rather than pushing back outside 5 metres. The latter allows the player on the mark to move sideways to counter opposition players being the handball receive to break the lines. Should we be considering getting outside 5 more often to negate this ? I don't really rate the WB's but they tend to get outside 5 quickly so they don't get locked standing on the mark which pretty much renders that player useless because by the time the umpires call play on the ball has usually gone passed them

Cripps should have simply tackled Ahh Chee - his decision was to bump. It was made a lot worse by jumping off the ground and making contact with the head - no attempt to actually win the ball Has to be suspended - but we all know how flawed this system is

According to Leigh Mathews - “I suspect that’s incidental contact” LMAO 🤣

I think most of us are a bit raw still for sharing that

Think you belong in the why the Dees can’t win the flag thread

Have a look at the second half of last years GF and then tell me we are not capable of offence

I’d say he is looking at tweaks because every other team in the comp has done their homework on our strengths and a few have found a way to beat us (Collingwood being one) Normally a team will win that game with the dominance we had - we are incredibly wasteful given the number of F50 entries we have (it’s not just this game) and atm if teams are prepared to run and take risks to move the ball quickly our much lauded back six frankly look pretty [censored]

Howes is nowhere near ready for AFL particularly a game like last night or a final - he was only just ok last week in the VFL against the worst team in that comp

Very very disappointing and what I will say is that sometimes the better team doesn’t win the game and that’s what happened last night Credit to the filth as they played well but seriously the game should have been dusted by half time had we taken our chances Some of the umpiring calls were a bit perplexing to say the least and certainly didn’t help but they shouldn’t have been close enough to make a difference

8 goals from 18 inside 50s is BS

Are we playing ? the pre game channel 7 show is totally about the filth - excuse me while I just have a quick chunder

I got on at $2.31 Gamble responsibly

OMG you cannot be serious

Yeah they look really intimidating - NOT

From bit-part player to flag hero: Demons' 'mini-Viney' Tom Sparrow forging his own path (afl.com.au) Some well deserved recognition for Tom - hard nut and love his endeavour

FYI BBO not sure the lead in with driving the dog ute and getting on the booze is the best strategy for getting post game accomodation with Demonland sheilas 😀 Anyway hope your right about the game result - we will need to apply our trademark full field pressure and stop their run - if we do that we should prevail and how sweet it will be

Its a worthy experiment and one that a few of us have been suggesting for some time now He will take some time before he adjusts to a forward role so expectations should be modest in the short term - he will however provide a good physical contest both in the air and on the deck I would expect we will see more of Joel in the F50 next season

Yep and Harmes led our tackle count that day despite him only being on the field for that time If you consider the tackle stats and pressure acts these are the guys that play the Melbourne way That is why he will be considered for selection this week even though we had a good team performance last week

You missed TOG% of 64 which was the lowest of any Demon player Can't do much on the bench He is safe as houses

I doubt it particularly as it looks like it could be wet - the one thing that is worth considering is that JVR's best game this year (IMO) was against Geelong at the kitty box on a very wet day - not suggesting he is like a wet track racehorse but he was particularly good that day

Hope she belted them with the nearest heavy blunt instrument
