Magpies getting done = ?

 

Multiple players out of the GWS Swans game Due to CoVID restrictions. New teams to be released now.

This season is starting to fall apart.

GWS loses Greene, De Boer, Briggs and Stein.

Sydney loses Mills, O'Riordan and Cunningham.

One massive out for each side.


GWS helping the cause of keeping Sydney out of the top 4. Let’s hope they keep it up. We need a few more things to go right after last night’s debacle

I know footy helps ease the pain of lockdown but Fox have done there best to add more pain with the commentary team for the Crows v Eagles game. 

GWS look to be playing a high possession keepings off style like they did against us. Sydney want stoppages and then to burst forward.

My point is that certain game styles do better against certain teams, and helps to explain some of the unusual results. Swans looked great against Dogs last week, GWS looked horrible against Suns. Coaches want flexibility, but some teams are just better built for certain game styles. Pretty interesting season.

 

The umpires just lack any game awareness. Papley is a serial ducker and get rewarded with a free which leads to a goal. Umpires should black book players like Daniher and Papley and assume they are effectively cheating.


I personally feel the Swans best footy is as good as anyone’s and will be super dangerous in the finals. 


GWS remind me of us when we completely fall apart. Cannot stem the tide and quite frankly cannot execute a possession.

Agree with others that Sydney look at good as anyone at the moment. Their offensive game looks better than ours.

Sydney can absolutely go all the way. They are a scary proposition when they’re on and the team most like us in terms of game plan and contested footy. 

whole giants team coming down with covid mid game?

swans kick 9 un-answered goals after being down 34 pts..................wtf


I love watching Sydney.

Such a hard discipline team and well structured line up. Watch the way Parker, Kennedy and Heeney operate around the ground. No Hollywood fans over the tap [censored]. They just get the job down and keep it simple. Oliver, Petracca and Viney are exact the opposite to these guys

They are every chance to win it this year and I hope they do.

Really CB? I really can’t understand why you’d struggle to like a mob that has a profound history of cheating, chronic inter-generational ineptitude and racism, and multiple players being charged with rape. I’m truly flummoxed. 

You forgot about dwarf burning. 

 

Why isn’t Cameron under intense pressure?  
Gifted list, enormous financial subsidies yet struggling to consistently appear in GFs.

not a great result for MFC.

anyway 2.5 games ahead of 5 and 6.

I am thoroughly sick and tired of hearing that results elsewhere are not favorable to MFC when we have the world at our feet and our destiny entirely 100% in our own hands, yet blow games like Hawthorn, Colonwood, Adelaide.  GW$ was, if in isolation, almost excusable and certainly explainable. 

To me our guys still lack any killer instinct or responsibility for their actions, and fall back into thinking that low teams are easy beats - I guess a reasonable thought  process given our recent history, but still totally inexcusable.

  • 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?
