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 !!!!

Six changes Ins 1. smart footy 2. accurate goalkicking (Jackson Spargo Brayshaw Pickett to have 50 kicks for goal as detention homework ) 3. tackling to stop the player getting the disposal free 4. Disposal to a target 5. Winning centre clearances 6. lower the eyes to a target in forward 50 out 1. irrelevant disposals by midfield 2. little handballs by oliver and Petracca to no one !!!! 3. Kicking to the pockets all the time 4. Bombing into contests in forward 50 5. Ruck tap to the opposition 6. Key forwards playing behind their opponents

6 Mitchell 5 Phillips 4 Shiels 3 Omeara 2 Worpel 1 Salem honestly we had a lot of passengers tonight. Perhaps Lever could have got votes. Trac and Oliver and Viney get the footy and do nothing with it

No votes for Trac. Can’t hit a target. Handballs to no one. X out tackled x Gawn looked exhausted ?

Post of the day.

3rd quarter Dees pathetic effort against bottom team Again !!! X bombing to packs in fwd 50 x no leads x Hawks leading in fwd zone x Hawks winning contested footy x Vandenburg and Viney cannot hit a target X Trac handballs to no one. Handballs to Jackson surrounded by 3 Hawks. x ball watching. Gawn. x out tackled x kicking for goal. Pathetic. nine negatives zero positives

Kozzzzzzzy

Speechless. He’s very dumb sometimes

Fiorini is a very good player. Would be very handy in the red and blue imo.

Time for Vanders to add even more grunt. Hope he takes his chance.

It’s raining M&Ms !!
