Yellow ....are sorting it out for them. As always. 

Sorry but Max has turned really dumb this season with ball in hand in open field. 

He needs to get that handball off quickly or alternatively just bomb long up the line.  He is too slow to decide, too slow to execute.  Does he even remember he's 6' 8" or so?

    At least three goals turnover due directly to corrupted umpiring.

    You can see who the AFL want in the finals. 
     

    What a disgrace of an organization you are running Gil.

    Honestly if Goodwin stays on, and I hope he doesn’t, he has to come up with a way for us to win games when we aren’t dominating clearances. You can see the decline directly correlate in this quarter to GWS winning clearances. It’s an absolute joke.

    We were struggling all quarter with clearances and CPs. Our first quarter dominance disappeared.

    We defended well for the first 3/4 of that quarter but from the Lever turnover onwards we just couldn't stop them.

    Had our chances (Fritsch's late miss and ANB's infuriating failure to run closer to goal before kicking) but if we don't get back on top in the middle we won't win.

    Jetta is so unbelievably cooked.
    I really want him to stay at the club in an off field role, but his playing days are way past him. 

    Lockhart should have come in. Jetta has been cooked since last year.

    Goodwin should pull the lads out of this game. Make a stand. This happens to us too often. I'd like to see us make a protest about the umpiring and just stay in the sheds.

    Lever has cost us 2 goals with inexcusable clangers.

    And two first round draft picks. Absolutely reamed.

    I can’t stand channel 7. I hope someone else wins the next TV bid. The commentators are just embarrassing, and clearly haven’t watched much footy in 2020.

    Viney never takes the first option , he has to trust his team mates.

    He's having a bit of a shocker tonight.  Just the four touches and he's been caught twice holding the ball.  One of the main senior players who needs to lift.

    Just now, Brownie said:

    How many set shots has he missed this year?

    It’s the MFC way. Take someone who is great at something and change it. Pickett looked like a great set shot when he got to the club also but our coaching staff have obviously tinkered with the routine 

    Daisy Thomas on those Pointsbet ads is excruciatingly bad. It’s like watching a crap Year 9 drama student.

    Yep that too

    We absolutely stink when the slightest bit of pressure is put on us. Lose a few clearances and watch a lead go down the toilet.

    Yeah better than last week, still not convinced.

    He's a poor drop punt set shot. Can only do around the body 

    98% of crowd is red and blue though

     

    Good vibes

    • 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?
