Hoping Hore's collarbone didn't keep him out too long, we could get a month to end the season with this 6 playing together

    Which would be fabulous prep for 2020 and getting them all to start gelling together as teammates. 4 of that back 6 could play tall or small also. Could be exciting IF the footy gods smile on us, because 2019 is a clear example of what happens when they don’t!

    after watching our tall backs last few years, he has them convered in every department. very quick, very good one on one, good reader of the play and organises the defence.

    Hope to see May, Lever, Hibberd and Frost in for the rest of the year and see how that develops.

    As much as I’d like to see Salem on a HBF, with the likes of May, Lever, Hore and Hibberd all being better than average kicks, we really need his class and disposal being used to deliver it into the forward line.

    IMO Hore is an average kick. Does best when he's not under any pressure

    I think he has got better as he had adjusted within the team - what he lacks (and he can build) is penetration on his field kicks... and yes the goal he kicked (I was standing behind those goal posts) was a ripper, I was stoked for hi.

    There does seem a lot to look forward to.Petty has also progressed well since his less than ideal debut, If he keeps improving he should become a regular member of our backline in the future.

    I hope not, if he is a regular without a drastic improvement we will be struggling. He also doesn't fit into our backline with our regular team available. 

    If we have Lever, May, Jetta and Frost all in the team we need some running half backs playing, not another slowish tall player who can't break the game open with his kicking.

    Hore does make a ton of mistakes both at ground level and turning the ball over via foot.

    Has been impressive in his first year but I wouldn’t have as automatic best 22 next year.

    Frost 2 the wing.

    Yes, the intercept marks are impressive, but I think a lot of casual watchers overlook a fair few flaws in his game. I think in time he’ll be able to work on them and get better, but he’s far from the finished article.

    Here’s the story of the night. May finished runner up in 2020 B&F. Fantastic year. He should be proud. A true champion bloke and leader. Wants to play his role and get team success.

    Thank you  Steven May what an effort in 2020, runner up to Tracc for the B&F, you are exactly what Dee's need down back, your efforts and skill have really stiffened up our back line and have surpassed our expectations in a really nice way. We no longer leak those easy heartbreaking goals that cost games. Your family must be very proud of you as are us Demon supporters.!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Our Anzac eve game without him will be a big loss

    if he requires the 12 days out, then he qualifies for ANZAC eve by a day.

    Concussion is not the issue. It’s likely a broken cheek and/or sunken eye socket. He’ll be out for a while I think unfortunately.

    yeah, didn't find that out until halfway out the G. On the train now, happy with the win but hoping for as quick a recovery as possible for May.

    That being said, i thought Tomlinson played pretty well when he got moved on to Hawkins. Petty's chance to step-up and show us his wares.

    • REPORT: Brisbane

      “Max Gawn has been the heart and soul of the Dees for years now, but this recent recovery from a terrible start has been driven by him. He was everywhere again, and with the game in the balance, he took several key marks to keep the ball in the Dees forward half.” - The Monday Knee Jerk Reaction: Round Ten Of course, it wasn’t the efforts of one man that caused this monumental upset, but rather the work of the coach and his assistants and the other 22 players who took the ground, notably the likes of Jake Melksham, Christian Petracca, Clayton Oliver and Kozzie Pickett but Max has been magnificent in taking ownership of his team and its welfare under the fire of a calamitous 0-5 start to the season. On Sunday, he provided the leadership that was needed to face up to the reigning premier and top of the ladder Brisbane Lions on their home turf and to prevail after a slow start, during which the hosts led by as much as 24 points in the second quarter. Titus O’Reily is normally comedic in his descriptions of the football but this time, he was being deadly serious. The Demons have come from a long way back and, although they still sit in the bottom third of the AFL pack, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel as they look to drive home the momentum inspired in the past four or five weeks by Max the Magnificent who was under such great pressure in those dark, early days of the season.

    • CASEY: Southport

      The Southport Sharks came to Casey. They saw and they conquered a team with 16 AFL-listed players who, for the most part, wasted their time on the ground and failed to earn their keep. For the first half, the Sharks were kept in the game by the Demons’ poor use of the football, it’s disposal getting worse the closer the team got to its own goal and moreover, it got worse as the game progressed. Make no mistake, Casey was far and away the better team in the first half, it was winning the ruck duels through Tom Campbell’s solid performance but it was the scoreboard that told the story.

    • PREGAME: Sydney

      Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?
