we aren't going to fire a shot in finals even if we do make it  

We are miles off late 2018.

    I know the type. Good sledger and tells good jokes on the sidelines while we are in bat. To be fair, those players are worth their weight in gold in cricket.

    Can someone tell me why we are relegated to playing in Cairns while other teams play in the comfort of the Gabba? Is there something to prove?

    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.

    Whent 1st touch is a fumble

    Then 2nd touch is under pressure

    Rubbish half of football. Freo controlling this game. Goodwin outcoached again.

    This club is going nowhere with the current playing group and coaches. Even if we miraculously make finals, we’re not doing any damage.

    What a [censored] waste of time.

    #12 Bedford playing a match reminiscent of Tom Gillies.

    he seems slightly deranged.

    We lack the want to spread, the ability to stick a tackle or the ability for players to hold their position and trust their team mates. Playing like we are we trying to save it rather than win it?

    Reckon Tomlinson has been playing pretty well on Hogan too.

    Absolutely shanked that vital kick I50

    Do we? I’d rather some one who actually wins the football, can use it and doesn’t clout someone already over the boundary line that gives them a free.

    Dumb and unnecessary

    Yea we need a sarcasm emoji G. I said after the Pies game I thought he  was terrible and as lots frothed about his toughness.

    Please tell me that Goodwin can coach one more time? 

    This is worse the Collingwood in 2017 when we had to make finals

     

    We don't want it. We're dumb. We can't hit a target

    Bye bye Goodwin

    That Preuss rag foll tackle was a carbon copy of Frosty's vs WCE. Even to the point where he kicked it out on the full!

    Great.  

    Still doesn't change the fact he's been playing well on Hogan.

    Our disposal is completely unacceptable.  Looks like we try to go boundary throw in to boundary throw in.  They move it freely, we are fumbly and second rate.  Lucky to be so close.  Second half is make or break, boys!

    I hate the way we play under Goodwin. He must go.

    Also, I love this four of Lyon, Healy, Brown and Roo talking about the game.  They are really having a go, especially Garry.

    • 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?
