We look to top heavy and slow. No zip and we are hand balling without thinking every bloody chance we can.

So you think we can with is? Sydney are tearing us apart ATM 

Of course I do.  Not every game goes exactly to script.  The Swans are a proud side who still have plenty of talent across the ground.  It was never going to be a walk in park.

We're Top 4 for a reason.  Our second halves are pretty strong normally and we've got plenty of improvement left in us.  

Absolute madness to suggest we can't win it when we have 2 quarters to go and we're 2 goals down.

    Who is surprised that when we need him most, Gawn is going at 50% fitness, Oliver is nowhere to be seen, likewise Jones, likewise Lewis. TMac can’t buy a goal, and Sydney can’t miss. 

    [censored] me why do I do this to myself? Why do I get my hopes up every damn year?

    Become a poker machine addict instead and enjoy the good things in life

    My concern going into this game was we were too tall.

    Not currently, we're not.

    If we blow it today (which we look certain to do, given how predictably we blow these golden opportunities) we won't find ourselves back in the 4 again this year.

    No they are not, we’re just kicking behinds. Stats also suggest we’re ahead

    they kicked 6.1 and found a concerning amount of space. if you're equating having more of the ball to them not tearing us apart you're delusional. That was a complete belting.

    Friends, we can still win this! I'm at the G, and it's almost as gloomy as it is on the forum!

    Sure, we dished out a fair bit of garbage in that first half, but the Swans have been lucky/took their chances in front of goal. The stats show we're largely doing the business, and will take control if we just capitalise! 

    We'll come out firing! (I'll need it, it's freezing out here!).

    Plenty of the game left to be played my friend.  It hasn't been pretty so far, I won't argue that for a second, but we're well within striking distance and I've got faith we can get better in the second half.

    Garlett has done one of his regular disappearing acts. Useless

    Haven't seen him all day...the invisible man returns.

    Kicking inaccuracy is well & truly going to be an issue for the remainder of this game. 

    & for the usually reliable McDonald... his set shot kicking has dropped off a heap over the past month.

    Need more composure going forward. 

    Lets see if we can make amends in the second half.

    ??

    Fritsch and Hunt to both wings.  Tracc through the middle and changing with Jones resting forward.

    2 men down.  Run them off their pants for the win!

    Bottom 10 players have horrendous stats. Need a big lift from the fringe. Who will / won’t stand up in an important match?

    Plenty left in this game, particularly with the Swans 2 rotations down.

    We can still win, but gfc we need to stop panicking when we have the pill.

    I havent given up, .................... yet.

    sorry but again our backline is not this issue. lazy everywhere else.

    Their D against our attack was always a tight contest. Their attack vs our D I felt they had a huge advantage. The only way I saw us winning this was midfield dominance. They have a lot of stars in there too, Parker, JPK, others... This game was always 50-50... Our inaccuracy is the key. 9 scoring shots to 15... we should be 3-4 goals up.

    Obviously i hope your right but i dont think today is that day.

    Missing those easy shots by Jesse and TMac really, really hurt, and hard to forgive.

    But yeah, don't see how we can't still win. Early calls here are very dramatic.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • POSTGAME: Geelong

      The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.

    • GAMEDAY: Geelong

      It's Game Day, and reinforcements are finally arriving for the Demons—but will it be too little, too late? They're heading down the freeway to face a Cats side returning home to their fortress after two straight losses, desperate to reignite their own season. Can the Demons breathe new life into their campaign, or will it slip even further from their grasp?
