Jeffy bashing on here today is over the top.  He has done a few bad things but he is certainly not alone there.  At least he is having a crack.

Trac trying his guts out and having an impact, but how the hell did he kick that so badly.

Fairly happy with Stretch's game today.

Harmes really working hard and had a good last half of that quarter.

How good is Max Gawn... we would be five goals further behind if it wasn't for his marking behind play alone.

COME ON DEMONS.

    Apart from that horrible set shot, Petracca has looked dangerous all game.

    He’s got the yips when the pressure is on. Needs a psychologist for his goal kicking.

    With that ball drop he did well to make contact!

    His best game all year

    Dangerous at ground level

    Awful set shot, but otherwise good

    5 possessions, 1 tackle, 1 behind at the half.

    Sadly that probably does qualify as a good game for him.

    At least Jeffy is getting the ball, pretty big step up

    GLASS HALF FULL for a minute... If we can hit a few targets and then finish a couple of opportunities then it's a big improvement 

    But hard to fathom how bad our skills have been WT complete F !!

    If a 5 disposal half with one of those being a shonker kick at goal his best all year then we well and truely are up [censored] creek.

    I actually think Petracca is been decent (not great, but decent) most of the year. He was terrible and fumbly last week, but most other weeks he has actually had really nice touch. Needed to kick that goal though.

     

    What is it with Jones and wanting to nail a player 45m away amongst other players by foot and kicking off one step?! 

    He does at least 2 of them every match and turns it over. Stop doing it mate, it doesn’t work and it’s horrible that a supposed leader of our club continues to do it!

    I'm really concerned with Hibbo's disposal as well. Still terribly out of form. Last year his penetrating kicks out of defense set put a lot more pressure on with transition. We need it back.

    Am I missing something?

    Perracca 5 possies and can’t kick a simple shot.

    ANB 4 possies and 10 fumbles.

    Worst footy I have seen in years.


    I don’t like to bag players too much but I’m really not sure what ANB contributes. Hope he has a big second half but he is so fumbly. Just runs around doing nothing

    Rohan Bail and Sam Blease used to also try. At this rate the Mac brothers are done.

    Wouldnt even get a trade for them these days.

    I find the Jeffy commentary pretty funny. He’s made us look more dangerous going forward than we have all year and people want him gone.

    The decisions and execution will come as he gets game time. He’s getting to the right spots and doesn’t move like treacle. Two things we desperately need.

    Oh for the days when Tom Mac used to knock off an easy 4 or 5 goals a game.

     

    What has happened to T Mac??

    he is playing like Herman Munster!!

    has to have multiple injuries

    • 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?
