Ok so the entries into the 50 aren't working, what's the plan guys?

One option... Get all players, other than Spargo & Weid, to lead their players to the arc or just outside.  Leave those two with space in front and space behind them for Brown to lead back into. 

Wow O-Mac....5 meters off his man left in no man's land there.  And all players running forward of the ball before that caught out on the turnover.  Ordinary stuff Demons.  Saved by Harmes on that.

    That kick to Weid on the lead sums us up so far - he had two to beat, then they had another to help mop it up.  Where are we at the moment?  If they have so many loose, why aren't we getting more of it?


     

    Thank god for that

    They look flat as a tack and all running kicking forward in straight lines.  Switch or 45 to change the angle of attack and make it harder for the opp to defend


    Nice finish Gus.

    God we needed that.

    They're asleep 

    Lucky goal

    Brayshaw is handy with those snap goals.  ?  Phew.

    Is Kayo an option for you?  Or AFL live pass for a game by game option?

    I feel your pain, I’m not quite sure how I survived before Kayo.  I remember having an AFL live subscription watching the games with my family huddled around my iPad.  

    Yeah Kayo or AFL live pass are options. Just annoys me that we are always expected to pay while other clubs have superior FTA options.

    Zero defensive pressure inside our 50

    That's been the most disappointing thing so far, Moonie.

    We put more pressure on then around the contest and it resulted in a goal.  We need to lift big time in that area.

    Seriously, where is the talk?  Why in the world do we need three going up when Gawn can take the mark?  Ridiculous play.

    • 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?
