Also Leon Cameron has been coach at GWS for 8 seasons!!! 

Wont last the season, even with his resigning this year.  Its only a 6 month payout for coaches now.  At the moment they look like us at our worst against the dockers!    No heart in the club, it ran on pure talent but no care for each other.  They lost a core of their talent and it shows.  a crap culture has been installed into the club and will take ages to fix, as they will continue to loss good players with efforts like this.

    We also get Giants twice this year, so if their wheels come off, will be useful.

    Of course, we still have to turn up, and the season has a long way to go.

    Unless I'm mistaken, we also get Cats, Crows, Bulldogs and Hawks twice. Too early to say how that's going to pan out, but pretty obvious already that Bulldogs will be a mountain to get over, they could go all the way again this year.

    Giants will cop it in the media this week so next week will be a tough game

    Was just going to say the same thing. They will get a roasting during the week and turn up to our game with a point to prove. 

    The Melbourne media tend to leave them alone (are they even a story?) and they are up in Sydney anyway - out of sight, out of mind

    And does the Sydney media get stuck into them?  It's a Rugby League stronghold up there and I'm not sure GWS 'sells' in the media up there anyway

    I just see them as a commodity and a company store who are a means to an end and not much else.  They are definitely a 'feeder' team but I could care less

    I suppose they are needed for commercial purposes but I see them as sapping tens of millions out of the system (and the footy media never talks about that either ... towing the line?)

    We have a great chance to win the first 3 games of the season against GWS when they are playing a poor standard of Football against Fremantle. GWS are going to make some changes next week.

    Just looked at our run home.. horrendous to say the least

    would be good if a few of those 7-12 teams were out of the running early.

    GWS is one of them. Loss today and fingers crossed another loss next week would severely dent their chances.

    Who are the others.... Hawks and Sydney come to mind. Freo perhaps along with Carlton

    I think Sydney will be a top four team, they look excellent.

    Cameron will probably read them the riot act though ... I can see that happening behind closed doors.  He has that right as the coach

    Maybe a more than subtle message via his press conference tonight.  Embarrass them in public? 

    He may feel that he has nothing to lose

    GWS have been quite pathetic tonight

    They were 16th last year. Would be astounding if they make the 8 let alone the 4

    If I was a gambling person I would be loading up on GWS next week. Yet to win played poorly, kicked at goal poorly, Melbourne will be favourites and expected to win which means they are almost certainties.

    Such typical Melbourne mentality rather to look forward to a kill against a poor opposition, to think theyll be fired up as they are playing so poor. 

    if anything this shows how good Freo are and that round one was a good win

    we will beat the giants. The bottom has fallen out of the Ferrari

    GWS are a rabble.  Based on that performance, complacency is all that will beat us next week.  Stay focused Dees!

    I know it'd be a very Melbourne game to lose, but GWS look like they're literally done for and it's rebuild time. Will be players half way out the door.

    Time for the club to put this mentality to bed once and for all

    Loving the impact Chris Scott is having on the tribunal outcomes...

    "He was protecting himself"  =  3 weeks

    "I've seen it and I'm OK with it"  =  2 weeks

    In seriousness I think the AFL should look at charging Chris Scott/Geelong for bringing the game into disrepute for his comments re player reports.  His interaction with Lachie Neale and Brisbane players is also highly questionable. I reckon his attitude is (and has for some time) rubbing off on the players.

    Bulldogs will be excellent practice for when we meet them in the finals ?

    If I was a died in the wool, long-standing, MFCSS man I’d say next week would allow GWs to regain confidence. We look better than that now and I expect to see us ducking smash that plastic club and that thug Greene in particular.

    Like with us, judgment should be reserved for at least the first four games for most sides (exceptions: Richmond, North Melbourne).

    Case in point: Hawthorn started last year 3-1 with wins over Brisbane and Richmond. Finished in the bottom four at 5-12.

    Sydney's looked good in the first two weeks but Brisbane didn't show up in Round 1 and Adelaide are still a bottom four side, made to look good by Geelong who also didn't turn up in Round 1.

    That's not to say Sydney isn't a good side this year, it's just too early to say it.

    • 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.
