Harmes and Viney drove me nuts despite the result. I think it was @Jaded in the gameday thread (dangerous territory I know) that suggested Harmes needs to play like Harmes and not like the Bont. Fair call.

Or as Callahan said many years earlier...

    I know this is a post game thread but with this performance Dew is surely going to come under the spot light and I wouldn’t be surprised of another player exodus. I reckon we prey on some of their more experienced talent where they may want to experience success and finals in place of $$$ I know they are after leadership and would not want to part way with someone like Touk but he would be such an asset to our midfield brigade. I’d take him over Maynard and another forward option. Anybody know his contract  situation? 

    I want Rowell. Don’t care about contracts. Just do it!

    Not much to add to the Harmes and Viney thread, other than they left Fritch out. Someone needs too explain to Viney, you must move the ball forward at all costs. Don't grab it and put it under your arms and expect that you will not be tackled.

    Fritch, really needs to run to the ball our ball carriers. Just some simple skill and technical ideas.

    Rowell was a little dirty swinging his elbows around in the contest, didn’t like that

    Few penalties for such dangerous deliberations; as these offences were so repetitive, I was really surprised that the umpires did not notice these elbowing-multiples-on-any-Demon-target-in -range, not once. His brief from the coach must have been pre-approved by the whistle carriers, prior to the match. Good old brown paper bag stuff?

    I should mention as well that we just passed the tenth anniversary of 186. What better way to show that those days are well and truly behind us?

    Bowey was good and hopefully he can hold his spot and become a dangerous kick from half back which in turn releases the lock down on Salem a bit. 
    Dogga good, looked up and about early and competed well in the ruck.

    Great to see Brown kick straight early and help put pressure on the scoreboard. 
    Clarrie is a star. Just took back top spot in coaches award.

    Pressure was great and must be harped upon all week so they know it must be there all game every game. 
    Hope Tmac is alright but tbh I’d nearly leave him in Melbourne and play a smaller forward line vs WC

    Straight kicking early makes so much difference..

    Confidence and effort goes up

    You say that like it's factual.

    Its a quote from leigh Mattehws during his time coaching the Lions.. re: the statistic in question.

    I don't know if its factual, but I suspect Matthews does.

    Team has lots to work on but a very good result

    it is interesting that a team that gets beaten by almost 100 points has the same number of frees, Just thought the consistency was  non existent,

    Look what happens when you appply forward pressure. 

    A good result against a pizz weak opposition so it is hard to take anything from the game.

    • 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?
