I just said I would prefer 2 of Tim Kelly, Liam Ryan, Petrucelli or Stocker instead of Lever. Not sure where you got that I was rating him. Those r the players we missed out on by taking Lever.

I understand your opinion, here's mine:

Kelly- going home

Ryan- massive flight risk

Petrucelle- bog average skills

Stocker- hardly played, dury out

    Hibbo the easiest turnover you’ll see. Honestly we are painful 

    That was pitiful.

    Pies have scored from our pathetic 9 turnovers. Maybe Goodwin can answer why we have such poorly skilled playing group? What’s our so called great development that Mcartny says we have .. it’s laughable 

    We should actually trade Jack Viney. I have no idea what he offers us.

    Only listening to radio.  Cant watch anymore with the likes of JKH, Oscar & Gus destroying things.

    Sounds like we are back to being turnover kings and a shambles and are only capable of staying in or ahead in a match for one quarter or so at best.

    If Goodwin cant get us close to a half baked Pies team with almost no forward line with 19 rounds behind the team he should walk now and save us the embarrassment for the last few rounds and for the [censored] storm that will be next season.

    Clean half this shitty list out, put anyone in who has half a coaching brain in (Ratten?) and start again in 2020.

    Goody is destroying this club and the careers of at least half a dozen or so very good players with every week that goes by.

    Roos anointed the wrong man in a rush out the door.  What a pitty.

    And our forward line is brimming with talent atm is it?

    Lewis telling Viney a few home truths. 

    Good! Viney is a [censored] footballer. Plays only one way and that's rugby union style trying to run thro ugh everyone.

    0 tackles for Jones in the last 2 matches. Not going to win when our captain is producing [censored] like that. Completely in self preservation mode.

    0 pressure whatsoever, whoever is on Jones knows he isn’t at risk of being caught.

    We might be the turnover kings...

    ... But at least we're KINGS!

    (Sorry, I don't have much else positive to say after that quarter).

    Hahahaha Hibberd

    Watched Hunt run and create an option for Hibberd only to be burnt again for a stupid little inside trick move. Horrible.

    Yep chaos ball. Goodwin’s brilliant game plan which hasn’t worked for a year and relies on winning every clearance and skills we do not possess such as kicking, handballing and foot speed.

    Bizarrely seems like

    left of screen is the goal kicking end. We should of had 5 goals first Q. Would still be a tight game 

    can’t kick for [censored]

    He needs to be dumped from Captaincy as a last ditch effort to wake him up and become a footballer again.

    Agree, try get a late first rounder from Port if we lucky.

    Regardless of anything else, bottom handful are under where they need to be. Melksham (OK, coming back from injury), but Dunkley, Baker, JKH not giving enough and/or turning the ball over.

    How to beat the Dees in 2019?

    1. Put pressure on the Dees

    2. Dees turn it over

    3. You kick a goal

    Simples.

    Hibberd inability to hit a Target is mind boggling.

    Its like ground hog day every week .

    Big effort in the first , then skills constantly let us down and it’s chasing backsides all day after that.

    Vney needs to watch someone like Trent Cotchin on how to play the game and lead his team.

    Our complete inability to change game plans and respond to a team changing tactics on show here. 

    A few players have been very average,  but no attempt to change things up. Move trac into the middle for [censored] sake.

    • 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.
