If they’re paying that then where was Gawns from the second quarter?

    What an appalling team effort, sorry effort isn’t the right word.  

    [censored] me, this club. This club. Called this pre-game, we would blow ANOTHER golden opportunity after the Hawks and Cats stuffed up. Turning off, this club does my head in.

    Based on the type of player for the Bulldogs that is controllong the game, and our utter lack of clean and direct inside entires, this smells like a loss 99/100 times.

    We need our mids to get in control. We need Garlett to tackle. And we need to be cleaner in transition. 


    That goal was perfect.

    To anyone reading this thread not watching the game, we’re actually 14 points up.

    wow, I actually can't recall Jesse kicking too many from that distance (50M)

    He's not a long kick for a big guy.

    Bang. Again. Quick ball movement. Player ahead of the ball. We score.

    Two perfect passages of play for two goals. Maybe we can play footy after all. 

    PRAISE BE TO GAWNY ?

    The wrist-slitting this game has been unreal.

    Its 6th VS 14th. We have everything to play for at home.

    Kind of warranted TBH up to half time.


    You Demonlanders reckon Tyson would be fast enough to kick a goal out-the-back on transition like Hannan just did there?

    Catching this on ABC radio from Sipan Island Croatia. (I'm still bragging!).

    Go Dees.

     

    Spargo is gonna be a bloody good player.

    Has footy brains.

    • 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?
