Wondering how many possessions ANB & Tracc have had after quarter time?

 

Clearance work is disappointing to the extreme. One of the most one sided performance I’ve seen in a while against us. Very concerning when the only mid missing is Viney.

    uninspiring.

    If we lose this, it'll all be on the mids/clearances. Getting killed.


    They keep waltzing it out of the middle. Luckily we have a Lever and May shaped wall in front of our goals, otherwise Freo would be on top.

    I thought he’d have a massive one today given how “angry” he was over the off season and the fact the he’s playing on a debutant.

    It's been going downhill for 3 years, but we've lived with this falsehood that we have this amazing contested footy team.

    Anb had 8 disposal in the first quarter. 

    Since then he's had 1...

    They seem to be setting up to get behind us and push it forward.....what ever it is we have changed nothing and need to

    If I hear after the game, “we were unhappy to get beaten in the contest, we pride ourselves on that” I’m gonna vomit.

    We have no reason to be proud of it. None.

    Brayshaw hasn’t taken one centre bounce. He’s been on the wing all day 

    Still hasn't impacted. Turns it over under zero pressure. 

    We have an AA ruckmen against a rookie who can't impact. Winning taps. But zero impact. 

    We are shocking.

    Nothing to do with what's going on in the box.

    Exactly. We know how teams are going to play our midfield, they even say it in interviews, they force us under the ball and spread away, yet we never seem to try anything to combat that.

    James Jordan. BOG. 

    Im with you. He's leading the others. Woefully slow forward line.

    Is Goodwin the right guy? ?

     

    Petracca is a class above. Worrying signs.

    • 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?
