Still no Preuss. 

Unbelievable. 

Quite a few very lucky players I reckon.

why recruit a bloke  build up his image, then not play him. Strange!

i watched the first three quarters last week And just got more despondent the more the game went. Just kept coming out of the centre in the third and they got goals! 

Can anyone who watched tell me what the matchup or position changes caused us to start playing with purpose in the forth 

can we play with those positions to start the game this week !!

Go Dees but I am still despondent!

I’m honestly stunned as to what the FD see in smith over the Weid. He’s played 2 vfl games and dominated in both of them. 

hasn't exactly "dominated" but they were okay

The absence of Preuss amazes me ... should be included if only to relieve Max in the bathroom heat of Darwin

Still one Spargo FFS, he was pathetic!

Yeah well ASTOUNDING!

Speaking to a great mate of mine who played almost 200 games many in the red and blue, he said he had never ever seen a small man so lacking in Pace, and Skill for a small man ! This from a VFL /AFL player who should know!

Astounding!

Not to mention  sticking with Smith over Weeds
Pft season done but suffice to say lets get some integrity in selection!

Baffling!

I’m trying to do the same for Brisbane game..... 

I do hope Weid is a late in due to an injury for 1 of the 3 named on the bench. Will be our most balanced looking fwd line all season.

Mitch Hannan apparently on board to darwin and so is salem 

I reckon hannan is one of the important players we have been missing this year. 

I think he's in our best 22 and great when firing, but he isn't a consistent performer yet and i recall him being dropped at least two times last year. The oft remarked piece of cliche/wisdom is a players stocks grow more rapidly when they're out injured.

Salem, Hannan and Hibberd all bring much needed experience back into our side. The Hannan selection to me is smart, get him and straight into AFL fitness.

Was it really that simple, did they rest anyone in the centre ?

+414 games experienc net... amazing to think Petty, Lockhart and Wagner total only 11. Hopefully going to get some much needed leadership and direction.

Petty medial strain, was limping durin 4th Qrt and reported after. He didn't train

Lockhart is a mystery

We can rule out leather poisoning 

Why does Lever look like he just got out of a prisoner of war camp? Puny, pale, unwell-looking. His arms and legs look wasted. Why hasn’t he been in the gym building up his physique in the 12 months he’s been injured/in rehab?

Crows with Gibbs,  Lynch and Jenkins in.... Lynch is a big in,  hopefully underdone 

We should get their fitness guy, Lynch only misses a week with a hamstring???

Three really good additions.  Hopefully they add some experience, polish and skill in their three respective roles.  We  might see up to 11 changes from round 8-9 to round 12-13.

Michael’s son

I'm not one usually to get too discombobulated about selections but i'm bamboozled by Spargo getting a gig ahead of JKH. Flummoxed even.

Was an emergency after struggling at VFL level, gets a late call up and puts in a stinker.

Maybe genetics? Dustin Fletcher was never a beefcake

  • 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.
