3rd quarter ✅ oliver is a beast ✅ hunts run run ✅ Viney to Brown goal ✅ Viney goal ✅langdon to Pickett goal x Trac three bad turnovers. Jackson turnover. Harmes turnover. x who’s on Daniel !!!!!! Goodwin wake up X goal misses Pickett Hunt and Trac twice … have to kick half chances x Hunt dumb three times good heart dumb brain And of course umps 7-19 free kicks ???

Harmes. Tough but dumb

Twice had really smart plays but like others, he has been disappointing

We had LJ and kozzzy. Then I reckon it was Deven Robertson, Trent Rivers and Jeremy Sharp. Happy with the Riv.

Agree. He’s got three chances. Dropped a sitter. He’s as bad as Weideman. Runs around. Needs to kick three or four in the second half. Two bad misses. 25 metres out. Slight angles. Two misses were killers. ?? Got to show something NOW At the moment, I’m looking to see if Mitch Brown is still injured. Really that’s how disappointing Weid and Bbb are so far.

First half. X Goalkicking ??? really Ben Brown x only 2 goals 22 inside 50s x dumb footy Fritsch (three metres out and knees it!!). The dumb bros Harmes. Viney. X kicking efficiency 44% poor v Dogs 60% x Scache beating McDonald (come on Tom) ???umpires free kicks 4-14 ✅May Lever ummm. daylight ✅Trac goal ✅Gawn 40-8 hitouts But needs to go forward with force Oliver. Lots of the footy but ineffective to create goals.

Agree. JT definitely had him as an option in the 2019 draft. Good pace and skilled. Suns has plenty of good youngsters.

Fiorini again looking very good today. Good skills. Inside and outside wingman. At the moment, he’d probably been an upgrade on Brayshaw.

Cox as the sub. That’s a terrible choice. Tanking???

I think the reality has to kick in. We are unlikely to have the players, trade picks or $$$ available for a Josh Kelly, Andrew Gaff, Adrian Cerra etc. (though Josh Kelly would be the perfect fit for our midfield).

I only watched the 3rd quarter of the game Crows v Eagles but Tom Lynch from the Crows looked in good form. Back from injury, he played across half forward and took some good marks. Nice skills, kicked a smart goal and setup another. Hit targets. Given his 31, I think he’s a free agent and probably unlikely to get another contract with the crows. Think he would add to our list and be very handy addition whilst we’re in the premiership window. I’m usually not a big fan of such 30+ recruits, he might be one player to consider in the off season and not command big $ to stretch the salary cap. Just a thought.

We are not even close to being like the Hawks 3-peat team. Hopefully we can get back to form this week by beating the dogs. Tough one. Strangely we are more confident of a win v the top teams than v the lower ranked teams. That’s life as a Demons supporter.

Seriously now Question. If the Dees had to take a shot from 40 metres out on a slight angle to win the game, who do we want to take the kick ??? Fritsch? Tom McDonald? Salem? Couldn’t think of anyone else in our team v Hawks that I’d be optimistic about kicking the winning goal.

sign him up

Thank god we wouldn’t be playing them in the finals !!

Agree agree agree. Seemingly the forwards want it in the pockets. Or they all run to the one spot. I can see the midfield waiting for options but the forwards currently lack the cohesion of demanding the footy.

Agree. Heat now on. Perhaps seek out a Carey or Lloyd or Brereton. Even just as a consultant in the short term.

Goody says : Dees lacked intensity. Hawks were hungrier. Out tackled and out muscled us we had opportunities hawks good. Came to play Its a lesson. Not RUTHLESS ENOUGH IN THE AREAS WE VALUE. 7 goals from our turnovers. Didn’t execute good enough 58 entries. 24 scores. Inaccuracy cost us !!!! petty one of our better players.

Absolutely. It might kill our season. Simply knew Pickett and Brayshaw would miss. Kick either and we win. Simple shots straight in front. Too many misses in too many games now.

Unsubscribe. Viney is a bloody champion. If he could hit a target, he would be an A grader. Viney was one of our best tonight Not why we had a draw!!

Excellent analysis. 1 minute 23 seconds. Lever takes mark in defensive zone about 60 metres from hawks goal. I thought he would switch to open side. Kick mark kick mark. Get to 30 seconds. Then kick to our forward 50 pocket and get set behind the ball. No kicked to a pack then we lost the contested footy. Hawks go forward and breust kicks the goal that we simply couldn’t (Spargo. Pickett. Brayshaw).

Agree.

Spargo ??? 11 possessions. Beaten by Burgoyne. Then was shifted as Anb went to negate Burgoyne Cannot kick 35 metres. See last quarter. Missed easy goal in the run in second quarter. Had a few tackles but let alot go and couldn’t hold footy inside forward 50. Just just did enough to maybe hold his spot.

He tried to get the Dees up

3 words - more goalkicking practice. 3 words - inaccuracy costs you 3 words - apply scoreboard pressure. need I say more !!!!
