How much did we lose by? 20 goals?Ā 

Agree on JKH

 

I understand why it's so negative after taking a loss like that, but going by the above it sounds like we lost by 12 goals, not by 2 points.

The one I do want to bring up is JKH - I think the bloke has done his dash as an AFL player.Ā  You could argue he deserved to be rewarded for strong form at Casey, but I just don't think he's an AFL level player.Ā  Just the 14 touches, missed a crucial shot in the last and just doesn't seem to do a whole lot with his possessions.Ā  I'd be very, very surprised if he got another game.

Tyson wasn't too flash either but at least he looked more comfortable around the ball.Ā  21 touches and 12 contested possies is his go, but you would much rather Viney in there doing that stuff.

Change second O Mac toĀ T. Mac

WB we agree

jkh is finishedĀ 

Hopefully Carlton can take him. Its a shame his form has dipped so badly.

Hasn't been the same player since Lever went down.Ā  Ā Hasn't worked into the same synergy with Frost as yet, plus no Hibberd hurt.

However, Hawkins took him to the cleaners tonight.Ā  No argument there.Ā Ā

Lewis - 30 cheap possessionsĀ 

Melbourne - Can’t play tempo

OMac - TGR sticks fat

Well, for all OMAC bashersĀ Ā out there (I’m normally one of them) he did rebound nicely a few times coming off his man given that Hibberd wasn’t around. He was mostly failed by the decision makers, before the game by not putting a stronger body on Tom, and during the match when conceding a few, wasn’t switched to someone else. Frost looked hungry and capable tonight- could’ve done the job.

Must be his knee, surely.

Almost warrants a thread really, seriously what has happened to Dom Tyson’s career. HighlyĀ rated youngster who showed all the right signs early but looks almost lost these days.Ā

Agree quite strongly, two nice rebounds from OMac set the game up. This is obvious, surely? It gave us some new hope not seen in other games this year - or last year, for that matter. Then, he lost it, totally.

Hibberd, Viney and Speed were great losses tonight. Pedo should have been a back pocket tonight, changing at CHF - supporting both OMac and Hogan, Gawn and Spargo and Jeffy.Ā 

ANB was off with the pixies and the deadly momentum wasters (Vince and Lewis) could seriously think of how they could be paying the MFC back for all of their limited contributions.

Harmes, Gus, Oliver and Fritsch worked hard.

OMac undid all of their hard work.Ā

No of course I don’tĀ but can we get some perspective here? Not everyone had a shocker in a three point loss where we should’ve, could’ve but didn’t and no help from the Umpires by the way. A blood rule not happening against Max or perhaps Tracca holding onto the ball longer and we maybe win.Ā 

I don’t think we will make finals now and we need to do a lot more work and let’sĀ hope we can get our best players on the park for most of a season next year. I also believe our game plan doesn’t help our players to achieve their best.Ā

JKH has had 5 yrs & still plays like a deer in headlights. He may be a good VFL player but an AFL he is not. He is 2 timid & lacks composure. He is delist material. He can't cut it. I was prepared 2 give him the benefit of the doubt but when he missed that easy crucial shot because he didn't steady it highlighted to me that he can't play under pressure & we need to find players who hold their nerve.

I'm ashamed to even read these above words! joeboy you must of been an amazing player!

Where to begin.

Fritsch was awesome tonight.

Spargo very good again.

Clarry very good.

Big Max Awesome.

Jordan Lewis classy.

Frost was good.

Jones played well as usual.

Angus good and spirited.

Harmes was busy retarding there's.

Jeffy not so good.

Jake Melk great when he was there.

Petracca doing good things.

Nev Jed great.

Big Tom fantastic.

Dom better, but still problematic.

Joel smith great fighting abilityĀ and still very promising.

Salem class.

Bernie. Reassures us. (Back off haters).

Kennedy looking fitter.

Oscar exposed again.

Jesse good when in possession.

Ā 

We lost when we should of won. Jones needs to command more off the ball. Composure in the final minutes could of won this match.

We lost when we should of won, so I personally look at all the positives.

  • REPORT: Brisbane

    ā€œMax 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.ā€ - 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?
