    Geez, I reckon you're selling it a bit hard when your team is clearly out of form and your captain is coming out with:

    “The expected score, which Champion Data does, had us in front by the end of the game"...

    We were in front in a bunch of stats but the key ones

    Scoreboard

    Scores we allowed from D50 stoppages 

    Goal kicking accuracy

    Gawn is clutching at straws though. Listening to too many of Simon's press conferences

    BTW G Lyon and J Brown both said that the D50 stoppages are one of the easiest things to fix so lets hope they fix it pronto.

    11-25

    I never understand when you lose games to  lowly teams then lose to a grand finalist that things are ok!  They are clearly not or we would have won.

    Maybe not, but you hardy expect him to say we have to do a major overhaul at this point in the season.  In any case, that would be a stupid policy.  We have to tweak some things and hope for some things to click and we get back to the form that saw us beat every good team.  Currently that seems unlikely, but I can't see much point in doing anything else right now.

    Rubbish the majority were free kicks to the dogs. Blaming the umpires is a poor excuse. The umpire was not kicking for goal. The simple  fact is the Dogs played better and  they have match winners on the day, we did  not. Remember that old one. When the going gets tough the tough get going.

    Well it looks very much like another year to wait for a flag if nothing changes.

    players and coaches presenting in media will always sell positivity not negativity

    they're not demonland posters, after all!

    There's being positive and then there's gaslighting

    How about being honest.

    "We're out of form. All is not lost, we can fix this stuff and we're onto it."

    See, I didn't even mention learnings.

    Could be, but how many of us expected a flag at the start of the season?     Seems to me that expectations rose high due to being unexpectedly near the top of the ladder for so long and that has unreasonably increased the negativity some feel now. 

    Let's hope that whatever happens from now is either a surprise return to form and a flag, or failing that, that we have something solid to build on for next year.

    Agree 100% I kept thinking in May that over the years I had seen a lot of May Premiers who did not even make the GF a few months later. After that start if we don't make the GF a few things will be different in 2022.

    You. Have. To. Be. Kidding

    I can barely remember a game umpired so poorly and so inconsistently. And i remember a lot of games where the umpiring has been woeful.

    It was 11-4 at half time.

    Our fourth free kick happened on our half back line with 5 seconds to go. So it was essentially 11-3. 

    And as always, it was the frees missed that were significant than the ones given.

    Sure we lost the game, and that's on us, but there is absolutely no question a big factor in their 21 point lead at half time was the rubbish umpiring. 

    Simply not good enough.

    • 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?

      The Demons pulled off an absolute miracle at the Gabba coming from 24 points down in the 2nd Quarter to overrun the reigning premiers the Brisbane Lions winning by 11 points and keeping their season well and truly alive.
