Autopsy Alice is Wonderland

[Feathercap]

Clarke all good according to Jlo - no injuries. Freddy just because he’s been interrupted

To be fair he did say he hadn't spoken to him about it yet.

By my count that was Melbourne's biggest loss since 2016. Their second biggest loss since their flag was a 38 point loss to us as well.

Just quietly, we could have stopped playing after Switta kicked his goal around the 19 minute mark of the second quarter, and we still would have won. Allegedly.

JOM has built into the season nicely. Had an interrupted start to the year but has had a solid few weeks. Does his role without fuss.
Chapman is so good, could be anything. Knows when to spoil vs mark, and super clean with the ball.
Nice to see Walters perform, he works hard and finally got some reward for his efforts.
And Jye is back

Best performance under JLo. This is the team until Cox is back available for mine. Leave them in and go from strength to strength. Change the sub based on rest/management. Looked so dangerous forward of centre today. JOM was fantastic today. LOVE THIS CLUB.

Cox should be back a week after the bye too.

His hair is strong and vibrant enough to tackle by itself.

The hair adds a lot of bulk to his physique

We’ll hopefully have our best side up and about by the time we play the swans at the end of the month.

According to O'Meara he is being asked to play a role he's not familiar with in terms of holding shape and position rather than hunting the ball and its taken him a while to get to terms with it.

Could well be another example of JL settling a player in position and getting the best out of him like he did with Acres.

The guy can football. If he can keep building fitness, touch and confidence he could be really key come finals time with his cool head and good skills.

Chapman makes such a difference. His combination of athleticism, skill and sheer hard edged will to compete is rare, as his his overheard ability. I said it last week, say it again, there is a bit of Fyfe about him.

Sharp is epic. We now have the Acres role covered by a better player than Acres. Losing Henry may well turn out a blessing.

Treacy has to be close to our best rookie pickup for a long time. I reckon he'd go top 10 in his draft now. A guy his size with his kicking skills and contested marking. I really think he's just getting started too.

What an enjoyable game. It was one of those where I couldn't bear to watch so was playing guitar and just listening. Seemed like every time I looked up we gave the ball back to Melbourne so I pretty much ignored the whole first half. Once we were like 14 goals ahead of something in the 2nd half I put the guitar down and enjoyed the rest. Looking forward to watching the replay.

They’re officially our bitches

afl.com.au got it wrong

Meanwhile, the Demons have a chance to consolidate their spot in the top four thanks to a relatively easy run of games.

They take on Fremantle in Alice Springs before the King's Birthday blockbuster against Collingwood, then face North Melbourne after a bye in round 14.

yes that was very presumptuous Easy playing Fremantle and Collingwood? hmmm

Realistically though there are no really easy games when going into them. They just look easy after the match

 

[Raz]

I wonder how many really threw away their memberships

luckily i dont have Game tickets to throw away my membership is only for watching on TV, i certainly felt low after eagles loss. we better beat them next time

 

[Freofalcon]

Couldn’t watch the game live but watched the replay when I got home.

I think we were arrogant and expected an easy win

 

[FreoGirl]

The Vent thread shall be quiet over the bye week.

there's always one...

 

[im_a_lazy_sod]

We had a pretty good run with the umps for once, our pressure was amazing, we had our tails up in front of goal and Melbourne just crumbled under it. We had a good day at the office all things considered. I reckon if the umps were more 50:50, Melbourne could actually string a few passes together and our forwards didn't have their tails up as much they did, we would have had a battle for a half and a bit and we would have won by 20-30 which would have been unreal anyway.

But **** me it was good to watch

 

[The Feeder Club]

Cannot wait for on the couch

It's all going to be about how poor Melbourne are though, not how ****ing amazing we were. I mean amazing. I did not see that coming at all
Frederick makes a big difference to how we play, Switta was running around like peak Akermanis. Just brilliant

 

[Lach72]

Aaannnd I just got a new nephew.

Great day all round

 

[BeinPurplenGreen]

I do believe we might have added a hefty 10.3% to our percentage from one game??

NOICE, verrrry verrry noice.

First of all f*k Kayo
Useless App

Spent the first half of the game trying to get it working
Ended up airplay from my phone to telly

That was surreal
Dockers playing exceptional footy
Getting excited

Had a feeling Sonny would turn up in Alice
Hard to single out players, everyone was good by hats off to

Switta
Clarke
Youngy
Jez
Moose

Good to see Nev getting some mojo back
Hell I’ll even admit Sturt looked half decent

Come on Freo
Believe !

 

[Joao]

Anyone notice that Baker is basically Switta from Wish?

That's the best he's ever played IIRC.

 

[Andy Brennan]

I think this game proved we need Sturt in the side over Emmett, Sturt did more in one game than Emmett has done all season, sure it means we're a little taller, but it clearly worked today.

Sturts pressure seemed above normal for him, you feel like this has to be his normal game for him to keep his spot long term
