So all I know is the score, and the Demonland commentary. I gather we're terrible, no hope of making the finals ever again, and this will go down as the worst 10 goal victory of all time. Does that about sum it up?

We are average, Brisbane are terrible.

A lot of people disregarding the conditions. Tough kicking with such a swirling wind. We are doing fine. Not spectacular but we're on track for 20 goals....

You missed "Roos is being out-coached again".

Out coached???? 5 goals up and have missed some dollies and should be 8 up

[bjDee 1,249]

ANB has fitted in perfectly. Been in a lot of stuff at the stoppages. He has quick hands and commentators sometimes miss his possessions because of that. But his disposal is usually very effective.

Newt has been quieter but I'm still pretty happy with his game so far.  Shrugged off a tackle on the members boundary then steadied for a beautiful kick. That took strength and confidence.  Otherwise he has also been in the packs and got some quick clearances out. 

[picket fence 17,148]

In what universe is Oscar Mc Donald an AFL standard player?

He is slow, lacks awareness, is indecisive, too easily out positioned and really just not up to it. Now, T Mac again was outmanoevered easily resulting in one goal and as mentioned previously, he will not stand his man! How the coaching panel rates either is mystifying!

 

[praha 11,240]

They have scored all of their goals from stoppages and throw-ins in the back half.

Our defense is not great.

[spirit of norm smith 16,449]

Demons 67 to 35. Should be 10 goals in front. Would be getting smashed against a top 8 team.

Lots of missed opportunities. Stop mucking around inside 50. Kick the goals.

Poor decision making. Petracca especially. Oliver handballs back into a pack (why??).

Gawn looks tired.

Viney must make decisions first time.

Hogan lacks skills. Kicking in field play is unreliable.

Tackling strong but still too many headhigh tackles.

Good - Wagner, Newton, Watts, N Jones.

Poor - O.mcd, Hunt.

O.mcd is slow and lacks footy sense. Outbodied too easily. Why is he ahead of Frost or Dunn. 

[Forest Demon 4,681]

I am actually surprised by some of the negativity. Just shows some will never be happy.

As always, it isn't perfect, but we are controlling the game and look in no danger.

not sure how you got those things when no one has said any of it. 

We aren't playing well and we are up, simple as that.

Viney 12 possies, 10 of them contested. Just another day at the office

They're actually not that far down.

5 goals at half time isn't impossible to peg back.

Good summary, don't let the rose coloured glasses brigade read this.

[SaberFang 7,151]

We gave up two pathetic goals in the dying minutes. Really missing Jetta, such a huge out.

Pretty meh game...

Not used to us winning enough to get  the the "meh" feeling when we are ahead.

The one absolute I take from today so far is it's magnifying the 'gaps' in the list . Easy to see from today what the shopping list looks like .

Just shows, am watching on a phone and viney to me looked like was getting it but not effectively giving it off. Need to be there or have TV as obviously missing things. 

[thesleepinggiant 160]

Gotta love Big Gawn getting in the ear of Sauce after the siren, love to know what was said but i bet the boys love his aggression... i do!

[Straight Sets Simon 23,113]

Good start.

[KingDingAling 3,757]

Whoever is on Tom Bell should be dropped next week. Doesn't matter who it is. 3 goals. FFS.

[The Song Formerly Known As 6,479]

im sorry to keep bagging the kid, but Oscar just loping along, let's Bell run past him to kick the goal. [censored] me

[olisik 4,060]

Wtf why did Harmes kick to a 2 on 1
