Two turnig points: ANB dropping an uncontested mark. And Captain Viney passing up having a shot on goal to stem momentum.

Frost and O Mcdonald are not AFL footballers.

    Great kick Weid......theres a pulse

     

    Essendon has 7 goals from only 12 inside 50's this quarter.

    Someone needs to be held accountable. This is not an irregular stat.

    We have always had poor skills and been a fairly dumb side. Couple that with lazy and we are the worst team in the comp

    Maybe the player we traded in for the player we paid pick 2 on

    I can't even remember who that is.

    We traded Toumpas.... Three way trade I believe.... Pies involved?

    Pretty sure both Port and Geelong were close to that ratio as well.

    I have settled, and so have we. Number 1 draft pick here we come. We all know how much good that will do us!

    Melksham having a mare

    Why does he keep running under it?

    he was in perfect positio there and it was kicked straight to him and he ran himself into the worse possible position.


    7 goals from 12 inside 50’s this quarter. What pressure we are applying!

    what cr@p will Goodwin spew post game?

    What a transformation. Seriously WTF did we do over the off season? Gone backwards in both fitness and game plan

    Jeez the umpiring is how do I put this not indelicately , borderline corrupt

    He's looking for the body contact rather than just judging the flight of the ball. Needs to forget about taking great contested marks when he can take easy almost uncontested ones

    7 goals from 12 inside 50s. This is a common stat under Goodwin.

    • 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?
