    Thought May was actually decent. Shut down Elliot in the first half but then went on Mihocek and I think he kicked one on him. The other goals were on Petty.

    Petty was poor, although Darcy Cameron was gifted two of them by the umpire.

    I'll preface this by saying I like petty but he was destroyed yesterday.

    Can mark pretty well but his decision making on when to mark and when to spoil is not yet there. Too often gets bodied out of the contest.

    And when he gets the ball in a close situation his first thought is to grab the ball tight and fall to the ground, I guess attempting to force a stoppage.

    I find it hard to know whether this is being coached into him or whether he is nervous about his place in the side or if he genuinely doesn't have an attacking mode.

    He's young and the jury is still out but I would like to see more progress from him soon.

    May didn't play on Elliott in the first half. He was on Cameron. 

    Hibberd was on Elliott. 

    May would never play on Elliott.

    Oliver poor kicking.

    When the game was in the balance, quarters 1 and 4 he didn't lay a single tackle and had 7 possessions for those 2 quarters combined. hopeless.

    I'd like to see Petty having a couple of runs as a forward instead of 'you know who'. Some specialist coaching and experience might be very handy. There is quite a deal of skills and intellect in the forward's role, and perhaps, he might display these to good effect.

    My parallel observer of the TV coverage of the game counted 10 hits to Oliver's head (most from behind as haymakers) before half time so I guess the effects were quietly carried across the rest of the game. As we know, Max  gets his unfair share of these head and neck clouts each match despite the failing, oblivious eyes/decision-making of the snot goblins.

    Gawn and Oliver are repeatedly assaulted during matches.

    May would never play on Elliott. 

    May was definitely standing Elliott when he was in front of us at the Randwick end. It was an obvious mismatch of size but Elliott was not able to use any speed advantage so it worked but May dropped a couple and fumbled uncharacteristically.

    He did take the first grab in the mark thar Cameron was paid but he was not directly standing him. Elliott certainly got away from him in Third quarter.He stood Mihohek a few times. Our defence did seem to hold positions while Pies forwards rotated. The subsequent confusion created was responsible for the looseness that led to goals. But the defence did not lse the game. Our forwards lost it and their defence won it through better marking and distribution.

    TMac - was fully dilated

    Sparrow - caught too often

    Petty - shades of OMac

    Weed - over and out

    JJ - a consistent performer

    Kozzie - doesn’t do enough 

    Goodwin - a wakeup call

    Chook Fowler - seriously peed off

    Need to play Petty Foward or he will turn into OMac

    I'd love Petty forward instead of Weideman. Petty has showed promise in his 1 game trialled as a forward.

    The accuracy and speed of delivery to their forwards by the pies was par excellence and our defenders were limited in stopping them.

    Was a great performance and I hope we took notice. Our mids blew it as much as our forward line did imho.

    Who was umpire no, 10 FMD

    The [censored] who stuffed the May hands on the mark, paid htb against Sparrow who had kicked it away and a deliberate when it was hand balled to a Demon as well as the no htb on Blicavs which cost the lions the game. He is hopeless. Will probably get the GF.

    And who will take his rôle until Tomlinson returns to defence?  Majak?

    But SHocking and Gil tell us repeatedly that  the head is sacrosanct, and if course Christian does too (when the commentators highlight it) ?

    AFL should be hammered for letting this happen:

    - Mummy & Nankervis thugs, opponent beats me oh I’ll hit him in the head

    - if DeGoey got sent off for a quarter would have a better effect (replay should be used on this type of crap)

    • NON-MFC: Round 11

      Round 11, the second week of The Sir Doug Nicholls Round, kicks off on Thursday night with the Cats hosting the Bulldogs at Kardinia Park. Geelong will be looking to to continue their decade long dominance over the Bulldogs, while the Dogs aim to take another big scalp as they surge up the ladder. On Friday night it's he Dreamtime at the 'G clash between Essendon and Richmond. The Bombers will want to avoid another embarrassing performance against a lowly side whilst the Tigers will be keen to avenge a disappointing loss to the Kangaroos. Saturday footy kicks off as the Blues face the Giants in a pivotal clash for both clubs. Carlton need to turn around their up and down season while GWS will be eager to bounce back and reassert themselves as a September threat. At twilight sees the Hawks taking on the Lions at the G. Hawthorn need to cement themselves in the Top 4 but they’ll need to be at their best to challenge a Brisbane side eager to respond after last week’s crushing loss to the Dees on their home turf. The first of the Saturday night double headers opens with North Melbourne up against the high-flying Magpies. The Roos will need a near-perfect performance to trouble a Collingwood side sitting atop the ladder.

    • 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?
