    Every laying into Garlett - he’s kicked three goals and setup another. Jesus never perfect and misses sometimes, but he’s one of the most efficient and productive forwards going around. He’s the most proven goal kicker we’ve had in a decade. Just enjoy him!

    Spot on. He seems to get held to a different standard does Jeffy.

    Noooo Noo nooo we are playing kissed on the [censored] west coast in Perth there is no chance of that happening! 

    How obvious was that free?


    If we lose this I’ll be [censored] ropeable! Should be 5-6 goals up here.

    I know “you take the good with the bad” with Petracca but seriously his skills are at times below VFL level. He’s turning into Bugg where he gets the chances but does sweet FA with them. 

    Oh my god that was a great 3rd quarter but bloody frustrating. Easy shots missed, Tommy what the hell was that attempt when you kicked it out on the full easy marks dropped yes Im looking at you Christian and lack of communication between Hunt and Jeffy. 

    Oscar has been well beaten by Kennedy. 

    We just need to play another 30 minutes of good footy. We deserve to win this. We have dominated and been in front all game.

    Draft picks?


    My wife not a football follower watching with me tonight summed it up perfectly regarding petracca. . He does five bad for every one good. He is the everything this team represents at the moment. Try so hard look great in the build up but can't finish the work

    we still need to win this, and can. just need to be a bit cleaner with our ball movement. this is by far the best we have been playing this year. keep on playing like this and we may well play finals football again.

    Hes lost all confidence, the play there was use pace take a bounce draw the player handball to hunt. How far off is hannan?

    We need 2b more composed letting Kennedy get that last goal breaks your heart in the last 90 secs. Oscar shouldve gone back on him. Jones & Garlett have fluffed so many kicks it's like Jones is purposely picking out West Coast players. If only them & Tom could kick straightforward

    Agreed. Trac is the one thats killing us with his negative mindedness and subsequent silliness

    well, we have turned a corner in many many respects this game - irrespective of the outcome.

    Not much chance of Viney returning to Victoria with leather poisoning 

    Looks like hes been given a role and is focusing on that, i know yeo's had a bit of influence and harmes moved to him at some stoppages that qtr, but viney seems to be holding a defensive position at stoppages and not getting sucked in. Its what we've been crying for all year.

    Kinda funny reading some of these posts - like we're reigning premiers with one or two players on the injury list.

    I'm the most constipated poster but sheeeeesh gotta love the way we're playing spraying aside

    To be fair he had only 3 touches in the first half so yea he got bagged.

    Great to see him lift.

    • NON-MFC: Round 11

      Round 11, the second week of The Sir Doug Nicholls Round, kicks off on Thursday night with the Cats hosting the Bulldogs at Kardinia Park. Geelong will be looking to to continue their decade long dominance over the Bulldogs, while the Dogs aim to take another big scalp as they surge up the ladder. On Friday night it's he Dreamtime at the 'G clash between Essendon and Richmond. The Bombers will want to avoid another embarrassing performance against a lowly side whilst the Tigers will be keen to avenge a disappointing loss to the Kangaroos. Saturday footy kicks off as the Blues face the Giants in a pivotal clash for both clubs. Carlton need to turn around their up and down season while GWS will be eager to bounce back and reassert themselves as a September threat. At twilight sees the Hawks taking on the Lions at the G. Hawthorn need to cement themselves in the Top 4 but they’ll need to be at their best to challenge a Brisbane side eager to respond after last week’s crushing loss to the Dees on their home turf. The first of the Saturday night double headers opens with North Melbourne up against the high-flying Magpies. The Roos will need a near-perfect performance to trouble a Collingwood side sitting atop the ladder.

    • 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?
