We need a quick response to remind the Doggies that they're not going to catch us.

Why are our players told to stand on mark but theirs aren’t - but they can stand within 5mtrs.

    Slow the last minute down. No break neck stuff this centre bounce.

    This has been a bad period started by Melksham not going hard enough for the loose ball and getting the deliberate call.

    I always regret having a sneaky peak at the Gameday thread.

    How always in the last two minutes of a quarter we do this? How?!

    Demontime. Some things never change

     

    Good half but disappointing last minutes.

    Well Dogs right back in this thanks to 5 rubbish minutes of loose play. You cannot let off the Dogs even for 1 minute.

    Max mate... max.... 

     

    Take the mark, and walk straight backwards every time. Umps are waiting for you to look sideways before paying ‘Play On’

    What for? Being blocked off the ball… stop looking to make yourself look smart.

    Why was Max called to play on then, he went straight back. Suddenly rushed kick makes it hard.

    Max having another mare.  Go back from just outside 50 ...take some seconds off the clock.  Kick it inside 50 for a possible mark close to the boundary or just outside.  Instead goes to play on straight away putting himself and everyone else under pressure and allowing the Dogs another rebound and potential entry inside 50.  Thank Lucifer Gus was playing his role across HB!!

    I would have taken that half time score before the game. 

    Just regroup & get back to what we did right in the first quarter

    Our inability to kick on from five goal leads is painful.

    Against the best team in the comp?  Geez

    Geez the dogs are brilliant at the quick handball, but they really do get away with a few throws. It’s like the umpires are scared to call it due to how good they do handball

    Good half but still plenty of work to do. Let them back into it the last 10 minutes. Defensive key in the second half. Need to bring more heat

    • 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?
