If we can hold Brisbane to 27 goals we can consider it a win. 

 

Clarry's been quiet too. We appear to be half arsed in our tackling. Hope they get their act together in the next couple of weeks.

 

Guys it’s ok. We are handballing it a bazillion more times than kicking... it’s all good!

    Only positives so far are Hunt and Petracca playing to their strengths and having an impact. Gawn is wining taps, but it's not leading to any effective clearances. Everyone else is playing poorly, and the effort is non-existent.

    Hope the coach gives them a rocket and makes them have a crack. We're getting shown up by a worse team than us who are more organised and working harder.

    attitude going into, preparing for this game

    For what it is worth, just saw Preuss walking off with no limb

    do you mean limp

     

    We are playing like a side that doesn't want to be out there, soft dropping marks, its like we just want to get through to round 1

     

    Good god ANB is horrible.. can never keep his feet and just fumbly at all costs. 

    Hibberd is a worry for me.

    JLT melts in full swing...

    Not sure if you've noticed Sisso, but going back to early 2000's, our season proper has generally reflected our pre-season form.

    Imagine having to go to Amersfoort ?

    I've been to both Cranbourne East and  Amersfoort. There are an awful lot of Dutchmen there but frankly, I prefer Amersfoort.

    Lions taking this game very seriously. Dees taking it half arsed. Scoreline reflects it. 

    Is it for four points? No. Just get through boys.

    Oscar is a spud he will cost us games he gave away the first 3 goals bring in Frost.

    Started ok with their first 2 goals coming from Oscar McDonald being a total turnip.

    After that it’s been lazy tackling, poor skills, inability to get balance at a clearance or a crumb and the backline going to [censored].

    Why we are playing a spare behind the ball in a practice game is beyond me. Are we really that slow????

    Not surprised Brisbane are good. More disappointed we can’t string any midfield skill together

    I backed him last week, but he missed a handball, slipped over etc. He had a bit of a mare early.

    Possibly, can’t find it in myself to get worried about this yet though 


    Watt do you think happens... when players go into a game,  and play to not get injured. ????

    At this stage I’ll take my chances with C wagner over ANB

    • 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?
