Would have been at the other end. 

That’s 2 that would have gone against us, Pruess after his free was tackled and then Mundy diving in after we got that free.

As Dunstall said you can see Freo is trying to spread us wide/around the zone and we’re just lining up to go down the ground to the contest. 

I wouldn't kick inside either with a 50% DE

    Getting beat in a lot of 50/50's true to form. 19 tackles in a half of a game where the ball isn't able to flow.

    About what was expected.

    I know it's wet but we really do okay slot of horrible down the line for territory footy. Neeld era like

    Vandenberg is a good tackler and that's about it.

    In cricketing terms - 'he bats at 10 and doesn't bowl.' He is good at nothing!

    I don’t know where to start. Fumbles, overusing it, not having players downfield to contest when we do finally clear our lines, no run in attack or defence to create or shut down easy options. Just [censored]. Our only saving grace is that Freo have kept us in it with some shocking finishing work.

    We are so slow. Looks like freo have 6 more players. I guess we won the quarter.

    Ps umps are atrocious. Disgraceful. Unprofessional. Bias. Putrid. Shameful maggots.

    Longmuir would be spewing, Freo should be 4 goals up, make them pay for phark sake.

    We are clueless in the wet.

    49 marks to 14 about sums up our kicking skills

    No system and no smarts

    Too many inside Fumblers

    No space, no hitting a target 

    Why are we trying to possess and finesse so often around stoppage YEats?

    Tap/punch/kick the ball forward or in any direction where you can see space and no opp....and run onto it.  Its wet weather footy.

    We really need to tag Duman. He always tears us to shreds and has dominated the competition for the last decade!

    And that has been different to the last 3 weeks.

    24 goalless quarters under Goodwin, nearly a 25th. Lets hope that stat doesnt rise by end of game. We just look lifeless, an odd cameo from Viney but really we should be behind by a lot. Still a chance, but it's Freos to lose

    All we are doing is going for distance with our kicks, there’s no pin point passes or run and carry.

    Freo are piling on the pressure and we are playing right into their hands.

    • 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?
