Rd 3 vs Melbourne Demons @ MCG, Sunday April 2 3:20PM - Match Thread

[AB Swannie]

Not unhappy with the performance but the goal kicking has let us down and elevated Melbourne. For context, in “expected score”, we’d be in front 71-67

Demons defence exceptional

Only 20% of teams in the AFL that are loosing at 3qtr time win

Could we see and epic finish ?

Or are we behind the pace of the opposition?

They have been great haven’t they, hope your right and we go on a 5/0 run ????????????

Yep , we are behind the pace.

I don't think it is that drastic. We just have wasted our chances.

We have had more than enough of the game to be in it, but bad kicking for goal has let us down.

You have to execute the basics well against the best teams.

Suns beat Geelong by 19 pts.

Is there more red and white in the crowd? Sure looks like it.

Where I am sitting in the AFL Members in the Shane Warne stand there are way more swans supporters but the other side of the ground it's all Melbourne.

Demons seem hungrier today. Just a bit faster up off the ground and a bit more desperate. We settled well after Q1 but they have. Even a step ahead all day. Big final quarter ahead

Skill errors killing us early here.

Good effort and we haven't been outplayed- the score flatters Melbourne- but bad kicking is bad football and we certainly have some things to work on....and we have to realise that we will get bad umpiring against the big clubs in Melbourne- because it's been going on for years..and it's just the way the AFL is...

Heeney has been useless today. Harry C had 20 metres free.

Chandler has been a beauty for them today. His opponent has not.

Exactly! As sad as it is to say we will be better next year when he's not there as we are too Buddy concious when he plays.
