    I love these jumpers......

    Great first quarter, but boy Brayshaw couldn't have done much worse in that last 1 minute of play! Especially after kicking such a fantastic goal!

    No. Just very slippery.

    Isn’t that two quarters in a row we have won.  A first this year I think

    Where was this effort last week?

    Jeffy has looked lively, although I wish he'd use his chances more. Promising stuff from Weid, Baker and Hunt. Brayshaw has looked good here and there but geez he looks so horribly down on confidence, hopefully that goal helps.

    That was a pizzweak effort from o Mac then. Lucky Jenkins is an equally inept footballer

    Gus, Clarry and Trac are all on so far. Makes a big difference. 

    A couple of efforts from bailey last in the Q to make up for a poor Q

    If I had a dollar for every time I have sworn  at some of Melbourne play in the last 50 years!

    So can we safely say that there is no such thing as holding the man, around the neck or dropping the ball in the AFL? 


    Well apart from a few dumb frees that was a good quarter. Weid looks good and happy to have Hibbard back in the backline. Lets keep it going. Maxy dominating the ruck.

    Hahaha jinxed him hey...

    Makeshift backline could be our undoing here. The question is going to be if we can kick a big enough score to overcome the goals we're going to leak up the other end. Still, at least we're kicking goals and looking like a decent team. Next week with More, Salem, May and Lever in ... look out.

     

    I'm liking our forward entries. Finally, the boys are running into good spaces, we're lowering the eyes a little and not being so damn predictable. 

    I tipped us tonight. Just goes to show, if you tip us enough, sometimes you're 1/4 right!

    Depends on how much the crowd yells

    • 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?
