Game Day Melbourne Demons v Western Bulldogs - GDT 22/4/2012

[Wonaeamirri33]

Turnover by the Dogs in midfield, Rivers takes the mark, passes out to Frawley, he goes inside 50 looking for Jack but it's touched over the line.

 

[Wonaeamirri33]

Inside 50s 6-3 our way so far...

 

[rhaz]

Clark is literally doing exactly what he was recruited for

I have no complaints about him whatsoever thus far in his MFC career

 

[Wonaeamirri33]

Bail hands off to Beamer through the middle, he goes long inside 50 and Mitch pulls down a quality hanger

 

[Wonaeamirri33]

And from 45, he bends the set shot back through the middle to give us the lead

Demons 1-2-8
Bulldogs 1-0-6

 

[RandB]

Mitch takes a great grab (despite Sellar's best effort to get in the way) and finishes.

When the ball hits the deck we need to get lower and stop giving away frees though.

 

[RandB]

You don't go backwards in these conditions ffs. Pointless switch when you can't pin-point the footy, we deserved that goal against us. Keep it simple and move it forward.

 

[Easty]

Should've been a free to Melbourne but I'll take it.

 

[Wonaeamirri33]

Dodgy kick by Jordie inside defensive 50, across the goalface and missing his target by a fair way, it ends up over the boundary, and from the ball-up, Djerrkura kicks it to Grant, who converts the shot from 30.

Djerrkura should've been called for HTB, but still a costly turnover there...

Demons 1-2-8
Bulldogs 2-0-12

 

[Easty]

Great mark from Howe

 

[Wonaeamirri33]

Great mark by Howe, makes Sherman his bunny... how many times has he done that already this year!

 

[Wonaeamirri33]

Bate on the run gets the ball and pinpoints Mitch leading out 35 from goal on the left. But he misses across the face.

Demons 1-3-9
Bulldogs 2-0-12

 

[Wonaeamirri33]

Howe infringed on, paid the free, but from around 40 out he misses too, to the left this time

Demons 1-4-10
Bulldogs 2-1-13

 

[RandB]

If Davey had gone harder at that mark attempt he would have drawn a free but too soft and lets Cross spoil.

Moloney still an idiot.

 

[deeman87]

Be nice if we didn't kick so many points early every week.

 

[Wonaeamirri33]

Lucky free to Dahlhaus against Beamer, and he kicks the goal from 50. Need the next one now...

Demons 1-4-10
Bulldogs 3-1-19

 

[Wonaeamirri33]

Clark is literally doing exactly what he was recruited for

Yep. Exactly what we needed him to do. Leading out well so far too.

 

[ManOfClay]

Lucky free to Dahlhaus against Beamer, and he kicks the goal from 50. Need the next one now...

Demons 1-4-10
Bulldogs 3-1-19

Lucky? Moloney nearly decapitated him

 

[Wonaeamirri33]

If Davey had gone harder at that mark attempt he would have drawn a free but too soft and lets Cross spoil.

Moloney still an idiot.

Yeah, it was just indiscipline pure and simple. We especially can't afford that today.

 

[Wonaeamirri33]

Lucky? Moloney nearly decapitated him

No, lucky that Beamer was so stupid as to do it...

 

[RandB]

They moved that from coast to coast way to easily. We're still too flat footed when we should be already moving and reading the play.

 

[Wonaeamirri33]

Djerrkura running through the middle hands off to Griffen, he gets inside 50 and goes for goal, but hits the post.

QUARTER TIME

Demons 1-5-11
Bulldogs 3-1-19

 

[ManOfClay]

No, lucky that Beamer was so stupid as to do it...

Touche

 

[Wonaeamirri33]

They moved that from coast to coast way to easily. We're still too flat footed when we should be already moving and reading the play.

And that's happened to us a few times already today. Too reactive!

It's all about taking the game on...

 

[Easty]

Murphy is destroying you guys across half back. Howe clearly has us very worried though, you guys need him to be the target I50 more often.
