Has a team ever won the Inside 50 count by 20 and had more Inside 50s than their score?

    There’s not many games that the umpires really impact!

    But they absolutely screwed the Demons tonight!

    Umpiring a disgrace.

    Harmes killed all our momentum in the third quarter when he decided to go and hit a number of Port Adelaide players on the [censored].

    Lewis cooked.

    Tyson cooked.

    Fumbles.

    Umpiring a disgrace.

    Oscar is nothing with Lever.

    Melksham and Tom McDonald couldn't buy a free kick.

    Hogan went missing.

    Jetta is a star.

    I'm not unhappy with our effort away from home.

    I thought we deserved to win but for the umpiring.. early it was the momentum stopping free.  Late it was 10 consecutive free kicks in the last quarter. 

    What else can we do?

    Four point to the AFL tonight. 

    That was as blatant as is gets

    We lack composure. We don’t make selections factoring in the opposition or the conditions. We don’t beat good teams.

    Great effort by most with poor execution. Needed to take our chances in the first half but couldn’t break them or the crowd. Two many that think they are better than they are. Hogan and Petracca time for your talent to be matched with intensity.

    Deserved to lose. 

    Taking out Spargo and not bringing in another crumber, having all those useless inside 50’s with no one to pounce, while Tyson comes in to do some bit part stoppage work in some sort of made up role is just nonsense. 

    Worst part is Port were awful.

    Will the umpires join them in the rooms to sing their [censored] song ?

    I think we will probably scrape into the 8, and lose week one. 

    Too many players who give us nothing under pressure. Jetta and McDonald literally bleed for us, while Petracca, Tyson, Hogan, Neal Bullen etc disappear. 

    Losing Lever was the end of our season. 

    I hope we make finals to get over that mental hurdle, but sadly we are nowhere near good enough to impact in September. 

    A brave effort.

    Utterly disgusting umpiring

    But gee we do some stupid stuff, ie Oscar's 50m penalty when he was three weeks late, to pick one example

    With that loss and seeing as we can’t beat any team with talent and with the run home for other clubs below us I can’t see us getting near the eight now.

    If you follow the Socceroos and Melbourne you seriously need some good counseling.

    Lost that in the first half with so much wasted opportunity. We had them complete on toast but persisted with the long bomb inside 50 to a pack of 10 players system which NEVER works for us. Just dumb footy.

    umpiring sucked bad but we lost that ourselves

    • 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?
