    It's a mystery to me why we make poor teams look good. We'll bank the win i'm sure but we should be better than this.

    Weve been doing it for 10 years +

    Love JV but I swear he hardly ever looks up when he kicks. The head is always down. Tough to hit targets when you’re not lifting your eyes.

    You can also put your house on him getting caught holding the ball at least once a game. Usually more. Awareness is shizen.

    That said I’m happy he’s getting his hands on the pill. His second half will be better.

    Awful quarter, so many players not contributing and seriously our goal kicking is dreadful.

    Only in respect to pressure. Their skill game is horrible, we’re just letting them scrap it away from contests. And as usual, we’ve given them a healthy sniff. We just hate to dominate….

    Disappointing. 

    It’s rare that we give up chains of goals, but we did.

    We need to make a statement in the 3rd quarter.

    3rd AND 4th please … right up to the final siren.

    Great defensive, backs to the wall stuff by us in that last 20 minutes, I thought there, except we are on top, we aren’t playing the Bulldogs, we are playing the likely wooden spooners FFS! WTF was that about?

    I’m a Viney fan, but FMD his disposal has been shocking. Two entries into forward 50 straight at a hawks player. 

    Well here is an idea for lazy Melbourne forwards when Viney has it, get in front, you know it will fall short.

    players getting ahead of themselves and not respecting the opposition and just how quickly teams can score. very typical melbourne.

    And smashed at clearances.

    What is up with us? Freo mauled these guys last week. FREO! 

    We'll win this, but geez these BS halves give every other team in the comp a look into how to beat us, and until we stamp our authority in these games, teams will always turn up knowing they're a chance against us!

    Lol Viney tagging Mitchell to 20 touches at half time. FMD. 
    Time to get serious. You either want to stamp your authority on this competition or you want to continue to be untrustworthy. 

    Viney is a liability. 

    Midfield mix was well balanced when he was not playing and Harmes was the tagged.

    To think we have 5 years of Viney rubbish..

    • 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?
