Yeah we’re in massive trouble. Gawn literally stood and watched a player run past him then.

And people think he is a leader.

Viney at least seems to give a [censored]. What is a Max doing to change the game? SFA. He is a faux captain.

    Goody should use the second half to write a resume.

    Our season might over in a hour or so, and so should be his coaching career if this continues.

    Gonna need a Lazarus-like comback to win this from here.

    44 plays 16 and we dont look like it. Against the 16th placed team.

    Un-[censored]-forgivable

    Who cares....

     

    this is one of the most disgusting performances these players have served up. Worse than Port Adelaide debacle. We would be even more embarrassed in a final

    Smith Macdonald Tomlinson say no more and people rate this team. Delusional

    add Jones & Wagner to that.

    And the other 17 out there today

    Yuck.

    This is why teams need to be all go from the first bounce. Give a side a sniff and they will take it, regardless of where they sit on the ladder. Just [censored] lazy football.

    I love it that we come out and repeatedly said that the short breaks are no big deal and that we are prepared for it.

    Well... Based on the evidence we are the worst prepared club at dealing with them.

    What a disgraceful first half, let alone 2nd qtr.

    No moves from the coaches box.

    How OMac retained his spot was ridiculous

    Jones is finished

    Hope we don’t make finals. We’ll be humiliated. Plus it’ll ensure Goodwin gets another year. I don’t want that, thank you.

    And yet people want to keep supporting the witches hat in the box. 

    He has lost me now completely. Didn’t come to play, whose fault. Poor selection again, whose fault. Bennell can’t get in this side because we are just so good. No skill, no pace, no heart. Pathetic.

    HAHAHA ???

    The Fritsch handball.

    The Petracca kick.

    The Smith handball.

    The unaccountability.

    Is this team for real?  This is so embarrassing to watch.  

    There's only one team in the AFL that can build you up and let you down so religiously.  Don't even bother with finals pls.  We'll be embarrassed....again.

    Wow.  Putrid/. No skills, no effort, no tackles, no nuthin!  If we dont change something at half time, this is looking like the Port game


    The Simon Goodwin era has to end, if he can't instill a ruthless attitude to this team that allows them to back up week after week, time to find someone who can. 

    his selections have cost us at least 4 games this year, this effort is not AFL standard. Casey would be more competitive than this. 

    Season over, time for heads to roll, full external review. i've been off Goodwin for a while now, but this is beyond a joke. 

    we're only every going to be mediocre under Simon Goodwin

    I rarely venture onto the GAMEDAY threads during the live action but how can I not with that [censored] [censored]?

    Nathan Jones, go have a shower son. You’re done. Forever. Oscar McDonald, you are a joke. 

    Finals gone on the back of being towelled up by 16th placed side and Justin McInerny, FFS you can’t write this [censored]. Wait we can. 2016 and Dylan Buckley. My goodness. What a club.

    Goody should hand in his resignation and not come out after half time.

    He can take the likes of Smith, OMAC, TMAC, Harmes and Jones with him.

    OKAY, I'VE TRIED TO BE NICE BUT THIS IS NOT ACCEPTABLE. NO STRONG TACKLING, DROPPING MARKS ETC ETC, NO DESIRE. 

    PLAYING SMITH HAS DISRUPTED THE BACKLINE. THE EXPERIMENT IS OVER. IF THE PLAYER IS NOT GOOD ENOUGH THEY DON'T PLAY. NO MORE CHARITY PICKS.

    OUTSMARTED BY A SMART SIDE. SYDNEY ARE SMART AND WANT TO WIN NO MATTER WHERE THEY ARE ON THE LADDER.

    • 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?
