Two pw frees to the bulldogs up forward for a point then a goal.

They're up by 8.

Jetta back on.

It’s no surprise we are struggling to get our hands on it with so many of our best mids out. 


We are being run over. They are front and Centre, have better skills and are killing us around clearances. I know we are playing plenty of young ones. 
 

if the plan is to score forward half goals, someone hasn’t read the script. No ball retention in the forward half. 

 

Wow we got a free.

WOW after 10minutes of footy, great supporter....not 

Not even watching the game.

I admire Vanders and loved the intensity and aggression he brought when the club needed it 6-7 years ago, but he hasn’t impacted a game of footy for over 3 years now and is 29 years old. Couldn’t be an easier list decision than to delist him IMO.

Worrying signs around the packs, they always seem to have a free player on their backside that means a clean free run forward.

Free to Frtsch directly in front 20m out.

Goal!

3 points down.

Seems to be a set play to kick to Gawn on the wings with a second tall in behind. Gawn overruns and Tmac or Jackson take the uncontested mark.


Gawn down for a second and I feel vomit coming on. Please take him off. It’s not worth the risk!

The plus side is that we appear to have a functional defence. 


Outplayed, but not punished on the scoreboard.

Looked better the last few minutes of the quarter.

we've had less than half as many possessions and trail by 3 points

With no midfield. We are lucky they haven’t scored with their opportunities. On the other hand we have done fairly well with limited ones. 

thank god for may and lever..backline looks very good

  • PREVIEW: Sydney

    The two teams competing at the MCG on Sunday afternoon have each traversed a long and arduous path since their previous encounter on a sweltering March evening in Sydney a season and a half ago. Both experienced periods of success at various times last year. The Demons ran out of steam in midseason while the Swans went on to narrowly miss the ultimate prize in the sport. Now, they find themselves outside of finals contention as the season approaches the halfway mark. The winner this week will remain in contact with the leading pack, while the loser may well find itself on a precipice, staring into the abyss. The current season has presented numerous challenges for most clubs, particularly those positioned in the middle tier. The Essendon experience in suffering a significant 91-point loss to the Bulldogs, just one week after defeating the Swans, may not be typical, but it illustrates the unpredictability of outcomes under the league’s present set up.

  • 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?

    The Demons pulled off an absolute miracle at the Gabba coming from 24 points down in the 2nd Quarter to overrun the reigning premiers the Brisbane Lions winning by 11 points and keeping their season well and truly alive.
