Teams have learnt to read Gawn’s taps. But Jackson is the one who is difficult to play against because he gets his own ball. 

I just can't see how they're going to be able to stop the influence of Gawn/Jackson as targets around the ground. even if they somehow manage to do okay in the ruck

 

 

Cognoscenti but wrong I hope

As long as Jake Bowey is playing….

Yep as it should be, but both should be desperate. 
Let’s not forget Fritsch either 

he is due for a bag

...its funny i do tend to forget about Fritz, its like hes just another forward or something? But he kicked 6 in a winning Grand Final !! Still hard to believe.

You’ll be leaving Adelaide… never a sad thing.

Wouldn’t be surprised to hear Trac a late out and Dunstan or Howes in

I must be a pessimist because I’ve actually backed Port to win at the $3.50 mark. I don’t think we are playing good footy. I think Essendon are a legit VFL level side, and we struggled with them for much of last week. I also think we carried many passengers from the week before into that game. Also, it’s in Adelaide. The umpiring will be next level. How much longer can we keep wrestling against momentum in matches where umpiring dictates the flow of the game. At some point a team gets tired. We are constantly umpired out of games we somehow wrestle back momentum and win. Due for a loss.

I think it will be far closer than most think. We have looked tired and they'll be up and about. Port are very good at knocking off Premiership teams in the home and away season.

But we are taking emergencies.
Wonder why that is?


Not overly confident for tonight.  Think we will need to see a big improvement from last week especially in the middle as I thought we were poor there last week and Boak and Wines are better than we faced last week. 
Having said that I still think we will win as having Lever back and they are still missing key Aliir and Dixon. 

Be great to  get the win and improve our form a bit we play 8 out the next 10 at the G, Goody spoke last season (before covid changed finals plans)about how we want to really wanted the G where we play our best footy. 
The run of games after tonight’s will be the perfect opportunity to do so.

Sarcasm guys. 

someone said we’re not taking him there to rest him. But we have emergencies for the very reason of last minute issues coming up

Trac’s knee could blow up off a 6 day break. No point pushing him for this game.  Unless he is 100% right

bad case of mfcss there, dub

cheer up and enjoy another win

They're not going to play ducks and drakes by flying him over and not playing him. If he's unfit, they'd leave him in Melbourne.

Not confident at all, especially without Ben Brown. Don't see Weid kicking a bag again, so unless Fritta steps up, I can see the game being a low scoring slog.

As a supporter I don't see night games as a perk. To me they are a pain. Good for club coffers I admit but I would rather day games. 

I don't mind night games on Fridays and Saturdays. But I absolutely detest night games on Thursday or Wednesday (except Anzac eve). 

I think the AFL is damaging football with Thursday night games because (1) there's too much football on TV overall and (2) it weakens the appeal of Friday night football. Surely someone will explain to the AFL Commission the concept of scarcity and how it adds value to any product.

If we can’t beat port missing Aliir, Dixon, Gray and Duursma and in poor form without Brown we have bigger issues 

Just to add Crows kicked nearly a 100 points with there structure and personal we certainly should no excuse

Could happen but Port aren't exactly setting the world on fire with 3 losses.

Anyone else told at school not to see that flick?

Which of course all made us go and see it.

Its a tough call though as Bbb seems to be the premier choice regardless.

As he should be, he stood up in our three finals last year when needed.

 
Just now, Winners at last said:

Tip for Demons players ... kick goals rather than points, particularly early in the match.

I think that if we can start off well and open up a good margin, the game will be over at quarter time. Port will be flat and so will their fans. It's very important to kill the contest early.

  • 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?
