Garlett should retire at half time.  Brayshaw and Petracca suck.  Tom McDonald thinks hes  a superstar when hes not even close to one.

 

Goodwin has a lot to answer for.  Starting with selection. Another tall in Preuss to help Gawn and stretch their defense for example. Instead of another slow unskilled player.

    This is nothing but a training run for GWS, no pressure just a leisurely stroll at the MCG.

    [censored] Deesgrace. Play the rest of the kids, coz this year is done.

    Put Lever in cotton wool and send anyone that needs surgery in now for the start of pre season.

     

    Spargo 3 handball for the game.

    Masterstroke selection there Goody..

    Not switched on from the first bounce & yet again No name kids wearing weird Orange jumpers are pushing us around and bullying us like babies.  

    Nothing short of a line in the sand response in the 3rd quarter will do. Screw the fallout & consequences our existence is depending on this response.

    Chances of going goalless in the second half?

    even with injuries, nothing can excuse performances like this, and yet Goodwin and co continually do so.

    Head rots from the top and it is quickly infecting our playing group.

    This is just looking for a scapegoat. Sure, it's frustrating, but the problem is that half the team has hardly touched it, and when they have they've butchered it, not something something Goodwin or something something selection.

    Playing Preuss would not have made any worse that’s for sure 

    they probably will not review this game either. Know what we are doing wrong 

    every thing!  


    Forget the talk about our poor forward line and backline. Our heralded midfield is getting smashed. The worst display since the PF.

    Junk time hasn’t even commenced yet. Can’t believe my eyes that quarter, so many jogging around just pointing to GWS players.

    Yes, because we have so many players running round at Casey just crying out for selection.

    This is about as low as it gets. All the [censored] we’ve gone through, then get that [censored] tease glimmer of hope last year, to all hope completely gone again. That’s why MFCSS is real, it’s always too good to be true. 

    The hardest part about watching this rabble is how easy the opposition make it look. Even at our best we did things the hard way, it’s not sustainable. GWS having a training drill out there and we have no say in it. 

    Having a bunch of ordinary VFL players out there doesn’t help, but no system, no inspiration and next to no skill is just the most deflating [censored] I’ve seen in a long time. 

    We should be way past this sort of stuff. Monumental failure. 

    Start again before it becomes another decade of darkness.

    No Pruess is absolutely criminal.

    Our entry into the forward line is D grade Amateur footy level.

    Not a forward defensive bone in our line set up.

    I just removed Fritsch from my favourite players that’s how angry I am. 

    Cop that Bayley.

    Of course. We are horrible in every aspect. But we have one clear advantage today which is the ruck. Gawn is dominating and he has to spend so much time down back. Imagine if Preuss could do some ducking and Gawn could be a forward target for all those useless high bombs? 

     

    I was really disappointed pre season that other commitments would mean I would get to very few games this season but I bought my membership in hope and for support.  

    Sadly the club / team has dishonoured that support and I doubt it will come again soon

    Absolutely pathetic “effort” on the field and pathetic selections set it all up.  

    Where are the standards set by Roos and Jackson???

    Said at quarter time I couldn’t imagine us playing any worse. My bad.

    Well let’s reverse the situation and take 10 of their best 22 out and put our 10  back in, would there be a difference? 

    Aside from that our disposal is the worst in the AFL.

    Also none of our mids have had 10  possies in half a game. 

    Any wonder that this injury ravaged, non skilled team is being beaten by one of the most talented teams in the AFL.

    That is as positive as I can get.

     

    Swear I just saw Neeld in the back row of the box over Goodwin's shoulder. I swear it was him!

    Absolutely getting smashed with the ground balls.

    We are way off in intensity...

    • 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.
