Amazing how many dumb footballers we have always trying to take the tackle instead of giving off first option.

We are a [censored] joke

    A lot of angry people here tonight...

    To be fair, though - it's a BIG ASK for 17 to beat 15th on the ladder. Clearly daylight between these two teams!

    And people shot down my thread about needing a rebuild. Love for those people to tell us now where our improvement is going to come from.

    Does the presence of his best mate, Jarred Roughead, in the crowd tell us that maybe this is Lewis’ last game in Melbourne?

    Yep, and Roaming Brian before game was a bit of a giveaway

    These players checked out a month ago , can’t wait for season to end.

    All that effort the last two seasons to rebuild our credibility, we are now a laughing stock again.

    3 goals in a half of footy, at home, against 15th on the ladder is pitiful.

    Yet we beat them earlier in the year.

    So, I'm not generally in the "sack Goodwin" camp, although I do think he's under massive pressure, but can someone explain something to me?

    Why pick one of the smallest teams ever, and then make the game plan slow and long down the line?

    It is the logic that is Goodwin.

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

    Poor efforts all round but at the end of the day he has to cop his share of blame.

    Anyone else foaming in anticipation at Goodwins member video after the game?

    That worries me even more. We've gotten worse (remembering we had to 'gel' and get fit after not playing much footy in the off season).

    I know what you're saying, but our position is set in stone.

    This is a disgrace, completely ignoring basic structure as an AFL head coach.

    Really are we surprised with the team we have out there?

    4 midgets and we bomb it high and can’t stick a tackle.

    Very predictable.

    • 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?
