I said we have average footballers in our team after last weeks game.

I'd take average footballers right about now.

Bereft of skill and confidence. Swans are gonna breeze this in.

    Has Tracc been on much or at all this quarter?

    Little to no impact, we should also start looking for a replacement for Hibberd. Will be painful if Jones goes another season, and he will.

    Another wicket UK out 2 for 60

    Meanwhile it's been a snoozefest at the footy. Watch Sydney score a quick 2 goals after this pathetic arm wrestle

    The most worrying thing for me is not that we keep losing, but that we don’t look even remotely like we are building anything for next year.

    It’s been exactly the same since the PF last year. That is what concerns me

    I honestly can't see where our improvement can possibly come from next year with this bunch.

     

    New coach?

    Our f50 entries are just excruciating 

    Do we even want to give ourselves a chance of kicking a goal?

    Because we accept players “did some nice things” as opposed to “tore the game apart” or “changed the course of the game”.

    We give the opposition every chance .

    A true bottom of the ladder side.

    I was asking as i thought he was easily our best in the first part of the first quarter BA.

    Absolute horrendous game of footy.

    And that sums it up, but by all means blame the coach

    This is simply disgusting.  The panic, keystone cops fighting over the same ball.  I cannot believe how poor this team is, in all aspects and phases.  What a bunch of losers

    1/ There will be no expectation.

    2/ It couldn’t be as bad again, surely.

    3/ No excuses accepted re delayed preseason. 

    4/ Confidence could not be any lower.

    • 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?
