Hogan has been very very poor again

Still horrible 1- so many going to ground 2- so many throwing their arms appealing for frees 3- so many poor kicks 4- so many weak attempts at the footy vince Harmes Stretch Melksham Kent hunt 5- so slow so slow Jones Petracca Gawn keeping us involved

Horrible

Wtf. We are finding ways to fuc&(&up comedy at times

Sitting here in Darwin in beautiful 32c tropical conditions. Magic sunset. Set to watch the Dees weather in Melbourne????

JACK STILL SETTLING INTO POWER LIKE LEVER IS SETTLING INTO DEMON GAME PLAN!

No faint hearts here

Ridiculous. We continue to find ways to fuc$@(/!kup everything. McCartney will be gone by season end

After 4 rounds (2 wins 2 losses) 1. Need to halt other teams momentum. Each game has shown run of 7,7, 4, 9 (15-1) goals against us. Need to learn to stop 2. Goalkicking is still crucial 3. Need to lift from Vince, Lever, Hibberd 4. Would like to see Sam Weideman get a run of 4-5 games. He is ready. We need the Hogan-Weideman combo 5. Clayton Oliver is a star 6. Jack Viney is missed. Adds extra grunt and leadership. Hope he gets back 7. Jayden Hunt and Billy Stretch needed for pace Our midfield run 8. Christian Petracca is a gun. More to come 9. Big Max Gawn is the VIP. His ruckwork is critical 10. Hogan is a star but we need him to kick 60-80 goals and not get possession in the midfield. 11. Angus Brayshaw needs the run. Welcome back Dean Kent. Jeffy Garlett is an enigma. Tyson needed in the middle 12. Foot skills and decision making a PROBLEM ...still. Turnovers kill us again and again

Lewis - injured out. Anb out. Harmes out. Bugg out. These 3 were poor Vince just stays in. Wagner and Melksham just ok Need Stretch and Hunt in for space. Pedersen/?Weideman for fwd role/2nd ruck. Tyson back in jetta omcd. Lever hibberd. Frost. Salem stretch. Oliver. Hunt kent. Pedo/Weideman. Petracca garlett. Hogan. Fritsch gawn Tyson n.jones vince. Brayshaw. Wagner. Melksham Emerg. Maynard. Balic. Hannan.

Agree. Multiple reasons but all simple. 1- don’t allow opposition teams to play 1-3 loose men to strangle our forwards. They killed us by our turnovers 2- apply pressure through tackle and chase pressure. We don’t work hard enough without the footy 3- simply skills to hit targets must be the main focus. Our transition is boom or bust.

Hope all is ok. Col is a good guy

Good return. Ahead of Harmes, ANB, Melksham, Vince and Lewis. Definitely retain for next 5-6 weeks to pickup pace of the game again. Definite keeper

It’s been about for 10 years. Hawks do it more and better than anyone. Not a surprise. It’s ugly but showed up our lack of intelligence.

Agree. Disappointing last year. Not seen any better We fail to stop any momentum against the good teams that apply real pressure

Buggg should be dropped never to return Skills are so poor

Buggg should be dropped never to return Skills are so poor

Yes it is obvious to all but Goodwin apparently

17 goals to 2 goals after mid first quarter disgraceful performance

Pathetic horrible terrible PRETENDERS ... wake up call required

Great write ups Demon Dave, Werridee and of course the Demonland. I thought White was unlucky to be delisted and I think he might be one still in the mix to be redrafted. Would be handy pickup as a mid backman for some teams.

Assume Hannan is the standby. Strong team. Only stronger would be Hutchins back in defence

No second chances. We chose Toumpas over Wines despite Wines being an absolute standout junior, and best mates with Jack Viney (plus overwhelming Demonlanders demanding Wines) Such is life!!
