    6 Viney - kept fighting and chasing all night and almost got us across line late.

    5 May - Huge factor on Hipwood who killed us last time.

    4 Gawn - scragged and maimed but kept trying his darndest

    3 Oliver - A couple of woeful early kicks but his workrate was amazing

    2 Lockhart - Clean when others weren't.  Intercepted courageously. What a game

    1 Lever - Smart all night, even though he was less prominent than May.

    Gawn was definitely in our best 6 tonight.  Position by position he was the only midfielder who wasn't beaten by his Brisbane counterpart over the entirety of the game.  Neale, Lyons, Zorko, McLuggage pretty much had their way tonight. Whilst it wasn't one of Max's stellar performances he was very good again.  Viney's effort was outstanding after half time and Oliver had his moments as well, despite some less than average disposal early. Tracc played just a game by his now lofty standards, just the one mark and no score. But as a group they lowered their colours.  I'll be really interested in the coaches view of this one.  I reckon a defender or two might pop up.

    Not sure I agree with this. If you win the tap out but we lose the clearance then your effectiveness must be in question.

    And for a ruckman if you only take three marks then I don't see how you feature in the votes ahead of guys that won their positions like Lever, May and probably Melksham...

    Yes but there are 6 votes aren't there?  I agree May, Lever and Melksham were in the best 6 too. My point was that Gawn clearly wasn't beaten by his opponents and provided our midfield first use.  I think you'll find Goodwin agreed with me on this point in his presser.  Our mids were too fumbly and when the ball got loose the Brisbane mids tore us a new one.  That is not Gawn's fault.

    6 Viney - massive game, great agility in tight

    5 Oliver - settles after a couple of early errors

    4 May - very solid

    3 Gawn - didn’t get the marking, but still good

    2 Langdon - underrated game imo

    1 Petracca - quieter but still good

    • 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?
