Game Day Melbourne Demons v Hawthorn: GDT Round 10 - 2/6/2013

[RandB]

Hawthorn have been making our centre bounce setups look like a shambles since 2007.

 

[CowboyFromHell]

I hate Luke Breust. Seagull of the highest order. Would be shit in an average side but is carried by the players around him.

 

[Topkent]

6 mins of work = 1 goal, vs 5 seconds of work = 1 goal

sigh...

just leave the camera on dawes

 

[Dory_77]

...And from the bounce it's straight through at the other end.

 

[AFL is Number One]

we are seriously a chit team

 

[Wonaeamirri33]

6 mins of work = 1 goal, vs 5 seconds of work = 1 goal

Sums up our situation fairly comprehensively, doesn't it.

 

[Markfs]

I'm listening to AFL radio online and Liam Pickering.... it seems that he doesn't manage any players at Melbourne but he's really laying it on the demon players... not that they dont deserve it...but geez he gives me the sh#$@

 

[AFLQLD]

Just about? He would easily make the starting midfield at every club.

Fair point. Every club.

 

[RandB]

...and that's how you work the footy forward without taking possession. Wish we had the brains/ability to do that.

See how long we can keep it forward.

 

[Wonaeamirri33]

Beautiful smother by Howe, and that was a great ball in by him to Watts (I think) around the arc on that right hand side before.

As I say, his ball-use has been bloody excellent so far in this game. Been virtually flawless. Another serious positive element to build on.

 

[Topkent]

Where did we get howe in the draft ... 30's? hes a fair dinkum future a grader

 

[RandB]

We need another 21 Jeremy Howes.

Nice kick by Kent.

Jack... Yes

 

[MeisterBot]

That was a good coast to coast by Melbourne.

 

[CowboyFromHell]

We need another 21 Jeremy Howes.

Nice kick by Kent.

Jack... Yes

Kent will be a ripper.

Another 10 Howes and 10 Nate Jones would be better...

 

[syl]

Goal watts with more good play. But we give up goals too easy in between.

 

[Wonaeamirri33]

Solid finishing by Watts there for the goal, and hard running to get that mark. He's also certainly earned it.

10 possessions, 6 marks and 3 inside 50s thus far.

Demons 3-9-27
Hawks 14-12-96

 

[Darksidepoints]

Howie was pick 33. Knew he would be a gun ever since I saw his highlight reel from his Hobart days.

 

[butters88]

Why did the sub jones for tappy... What has rodan done to stay on the field

 

[Wonaeamirri33]

Gumming them up well around half-back before. The Hawks weren't able to get it out of there for a fair while then. The pressure around the ground continues

And more strong defensive pressure to win the ball back again after the inside 50. Trengove featuring heavily in both passages of play.

 

[syl]

41 inside 50's for 27 scoring shots. Too easy...

Another goal to Davey.

 

[Wonaeamirri33]

Excellent tackle by Rodan to win the ball, spills to McKenzie and he finds Davey for another goal! Great stuff

Demons 4-9-33
Hawks 14-13-97

 

[Topkent]

Dawes is playing like bloody riewoldt (nick)

 

[RandB]

Bruce, clean your pants...

 

[Wonaeamirri33]

Dawes is playing like bloody riewoldt (nick)

Was it Dawes? Thought it was Rodan who made that tackle... he's not too good with the ball, as we say, but he's been everywhere with his pressure.

12 contested possessions now - the only guy on the field who's done better is Nate Jones.

 

[Topkent]

bit of a lucky kent
