Harmes on Libba?  And running him ragged the other way.  Noice so far.  But still early days fellow minions.  Heads down!

    Our pressure is causing their defence huge headaches

    Ok I’m sure this has been asked before but why aren’t we wearing our indigenous jumpers?

    Harmes, Trac and Oliver...27 touches.

    Four goals up but dogs have six frees to three. Mmmm. Here we go again.

    Can we put Tom up ffwd and Sam at chf. ?

    Outstanding quarter and I wish I was there. Also if I was there I'd be giving it to that umpire about that TMac block call, just held his ground and Crozier jumped into him, we were off.

    That and gawns 50 metre kick from the ruck clearance that bounced left instead of right/straight

    And here come the umps with three softies in a row.

    Yes! 1:45 left on the clock at the centre bounce. 1 free at the bounce, then a block. Lever took a mark not paid and then holding the ball against Jordan when he didn't have it.
    Completely outrages. If you get the chance, watch that last 2 mins and tell me they weren't trying to give the Dogs a goal to try and make a contest. 

    Hope we hit the Sullivan line next quarter. Go Dees!

    Well that was unexpected, dogs not switched on at all first quarter. Expect them to come up firing in the second after that though. 

    Our pressure game is completely opposite to last week, incredibly we should be further in front. Spargo usually doesn’t waste it but he’s probably going at 50% on chances had creating goals. 

    Keep going Dees, long way to go!

     

    That was fun.
    Lets do it again this qr..

    Dogs kicking across the ground must give our backs time to set up.

    Any chance Weid can get his hands near the the ball

    Great start Dees. I’d expect the Dogs to respond but we have to equal it and I reckon we burry the game in the next quarter if we do.

    Dogs look like us laat week. Flat and unorganised silly unforced errors.

    Looking good.

    Remember they had a 100 point winning training run last week against the Saints so it’s taken them 20 minutes to realise we aren’t witches hats.

    I really hope the Weid can take a grab and kick a goal. His confidence looks shot to me.

    Looks like he's trying too hard - needs to relax a bit

    AFL deemed it a clash. 

    It’s a [censored] disgrace. Carlton is allowed to play Collingwood, Essendon and Richmond in its regular jumper but we can’t wear red against their blue.

    Statement quarter - BOOM

    The pressure. Intensity. Tackling. 

    Fritter's intercept and goal a joy.

    Long way to go, but we are ON 

    Let's go! Do what the dogs have been doing to lesser opposition this year.

    He gets his hands on everything.
    Needs to hold a couple for a confidence boost.

    Oliver is in Brownlow form. Forget Patracca  and Bont - Cayton is the ONE.

    • 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.
