Hmmm. For what it worth, I think the umps have been ok.

    If you compare our forward syngery this week with previous weeks, it is miles apart. I don't know how many times Petracca knocked over his team mates and then fumbled the ball.

    We've been rattled by the Collingwood affair and seem to be lacking confidence (Hogan and Petracca in particular). 

    +1

    We are a couple of kicks away from smashing this. Open the forward line a little. Push Hannan and Melksham wider. TMac, Hoges and Tracs within 20 metres of goal.

    Umps trying to even up the game again. Been saying it for 12 months. Last two nights [censored] obvious 

    stats can be a bloody nuisance during a match.

    umpiring stats should be kept private from the umps, until after the game.

    Missing a small forward likeJeffy. He would have got two by now with the amount of inside 50 ‘s we have had.

    Yep and have said it all along

    T smith Fritcsh, Harmes Neal Bullen Hogan all very poor!

    Career defining game for some!

    We should be well up! Inside 50ts Obliterating opposition!

    Don't think we can do it

    Endeavour great but No finishing class 

    Over it!

    We are smashing them everywhere except for the scoreboard. Hinckley will be telling the Port players they are lucky to not be 10 goals behind. We’ve missed easy chances and our forward entries have been a disgrace. TMac and Hogan must be scratching their heads wondering what the midfield are thinking. 

    I see one of two things happening. 

    1) we keep dominating the clearances and continue getting multiple inside 50s whereby we will actually get out sh_t together and win in a canter. 

    Or 2) they work us out and we kick ourselves for not taking our opportunities when we had them. 

    For those getting stuck into hogan, he has covered the 5th highest distance on the ground. He’s working hard but not being rewarded by his team mates

    Certainly feels that way. I can understand the Tyson in move, but Tyson for Spargo has left us a small scrapper down. 

    But there are a few players we're not getting enough out of, even if the intensity is there: Harmes, T Smith, even a few in the backline even though the ball has hardly been down there: Salem, Joel Smith. I can understand them keeping Fritsch up the ground because of his ball use, but we need a couple of smarter players closer to goal.

    Hogan is not the problem. Port are successfully holding us up at the wing, flooding, and he is surrounded by 4 or 5 guys at every contest. There has been zero adjustment. He needs to move up the ground and we need to be cleaner across the middle of the ground. It is not so much delivery going forward that is killing us. We are simply allowing them the freedom to flood.

    Not saying he is the problem just that he is out of form. Friday night and a big game is were he should dominating. Instead he is missing chest marks and not reading the play.


    How could any sane person say that was not high on Viney?

    Good goal.

    Why is max tapping goal side when rucking in defensive 50?

    was about to post how long for us to kick a goal this quarter? Good to see it wasn't another 10-15 minute dry-spell.

    Too bad about the quick reply

    No one is having a go. Running that distance is of no use if you are paid to be a goal kicker, 

    he just doesn’t seem to know what he should be doing,

     

    That was a better set up Bull

    • 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?
