tough quarter. Lions far the better team. We need to bring much more heat otherwise we're going to have our pants pulled down tonight.

    A really good test for us now. No pressure anywhere across the ground.

    in the past we would have been down 6 goals by now.

    Time to start playing dees and shut that cheating bartard Hipwood down.

    They can’t play better, and we are going at 60%. Clean up around the ball, lift our intensity, and the umpires start being consistent with stoppages (some are given forever, while others they want to ball up after 1 second) and we’ll be right.

    They’re playing out of their skins. They’re sticking marks, getting hands free in tackles, bounces going their way. 

    Lucky to only be two goals down. Need to lift. But the positive is that we have a lot of improvement in us.

    McDonald, Weideman and Jackson have a combined total of 4 disposal. That's our 3 key forwards who have done nothing.

    Keep it up and you can take your pick out of Weideman and Jackson who goes out for Brown.

    Jackson up forward is useless and Weideman just doesn't demand it enough.

    Game lacks a sort of energy. We haven’t turned up today. No real intensity & lethargic. Can’t fault the Lions - they are a side playing like a top 4 team.

    8 goal loss if this continues

    Pressure lacking

    kicking to packs

    they're marking everything 

    panick

    is Goodwin the right guy (j/k)

    If Hipwood plays on from a mark foward of the mark and out of bounds why isn't play on and then out of bounds?

    We look very undersized down back normally Hipwood and Daniher can’t kick straight BUT tonight they can 

    we look flat and nobody dangerous up front need a big turnaround

    He had a decent game last week, so he is due for another seven down games.

    They need to stick some marke but to be fair the ball lived in Brisbane's forward half

    hard to watch him play

    Gonna take a mighty shut-down effort this one. They’re outstanding, and making us look very ordinary.

    • 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?
