Harmes injury being blown out of proportion I think. He broke his hand last year and played the same week. Wouldn’t surprise me at all if he still played round 1

    Anyone ever fumbled more than ANB?

    I just get the impression ANB is a bit of a panicker.

    Hunt has been disappointing in the second half. Should have kept him forward. 

    Agreed, he'd offer us something we seriously lack in the forward line and that's speed. He' 187cm and got 15 on Spargo, but could he be the quick and agile crumber we are crying out for? Worth a try i'd have thought.


    4 sausage rolls to Smith..

    Joel Smith on one leg is better than Joel Smith on two legs? ?

    I sense he's over-trying...  trying to force himself to the next level.  This will make himself fumble,  trying to be too slick.    Let it happen lad,  don't force it.

    Has anyone ever deserved a punch more than Mitch Robinson?

    Would like to see the contested making stats inside 50. It feels like they have slaughtered us in that regard.

     

    Umpires need another month to get some competence.

    Perhaps we had to shift him into other rolls when both JKH and Harmes went down injured?  Or maybe Goody is just trying a few different things while there are no points up for grabs?  Either way, I think he showed enough down forward to suggest he can be handy down there if need be.

    Joel Smith has been excellent today as well.  Surely it puts him in contention for Round 1?

    Softest free ever. Shithouse.

    Smith is a lock for rd 1. 

    Milkshake, Viney and Jones all due to come in.

    That pass was barely 10 let alone 15, lol.

    But how about a bit of awareness Max and Christian.

    Look last year thought he was a solid contributor but have seen instances of it over the past couple of years.

    • PREVIEW: Sydney

      The two teams competing at the MCG on Sunday afternoon have each traversed a long and arduous path since their previous encounter on a sweltering March evening in Sydney a season and a half ago. Both experienced periods of success at various times last year. The Demons ran out of steam in midseason while the Swans went on to narrowly miss the ultimate prize in the sport. Now, they find themselves outside of finals contention as the season approaches the halfway mark. The winner this week will remain in contact with the leading pack, while the loser may well find itself on a precipice, staring into the abyss. The current season has presented numerous challenges for most clubs, particularly those positioned in the middle tier. The Essendon experience in suffering a significant 91-point loss to the Bulldogs, just one week after defeating the Swans, may not be typical, but it illustrates the unpredictability of outcomes under the league’s present set up.

    • 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?

      The Demons pulled off an absolute miracle at the Gabba coming from 24 points down in the 2nd Quarter to overrun the reigning premiers the Brisbane Lions winning by 11 points and keeping their season well and truly alive.
