Wiseblood involved in everything here!

I'm currently keeping one eye on a three month old in a bouncer, one eye on the game and one eye on here.  I've got three eyes somehow.

    Psychic line. Some days are tricky. Some days are great. So what kind of day is today going to be? It falls into a completely different  category. It holds the potential to be a day that you won't forget. Take advantage of the cosmic potential for transformation

    In the MCC tonight and still manage to have a row of Richmond nuffies behind me..

    We should take over the AFL enclosure on the Southern Stand,  when redeveloped. Own that area...  and start to takeover the Ponsford, as well.

    Hahah nice! Wife’s out, just got my 7month old to bed before the game, 3yo into bed after our second goal and 5yo currently wriggling like a worm with tiredness and watching the game with me.

    How good was that?  Took the right options, worked hard to get forward and lowered our eyes.  Great work.

    Great lead by Nibbler to get Melk to kick there.

    The uncontested turnovers are absolute killers.  We must have had a handful already.  Just bombing it from defence and it just comes straight back in.

    Loved that first term.  More pressure, better use going forward and I feel like we tightened up defensively.  The test will be to keep it up for three more quarters, but the early signs are good.

    One thing we need to fix is the bomb out of defence.  You can't always be precise, but we can't allow them uncontested marks with repeat entries.  They'll score from them eventually.

    Can't complain, they're having a dip. A lot more running back to help out as well.

    That fake handpass by Melksham before kicking to Hunt is what I want to see more of.

    It was only slight but it opened up the ground in front of him.

    Their inside 50 pressure is unreal. Means they have time to setup behind the ball and cut us off. When we get time, and use it well, we are picking through them.

    Not sure we can keep it up, but doing ok

    At least we've shown we CAN play, even if it's only for a quarter. Something there to build on going forward.

    Under a lot of pressure.

    The intent is there. Right now I’ll take that.

    Tom Mac showing us why he's so much more effective up forward where, with the sticks in front of him, he doesn't have to worry about his disposal.

    Credit to Goodwin for trying some kooky [censored] [censored]. I am here for it! 

    Would love anyone in this team to hit a target this year.

    • 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?
