Everything Dunstan touches is turning sour. Very much a downgrade on Viney.

    Excellent umpiring decision to pay a free and a 50 for the push and then slow pass back. 

    Rivers is becoming a goalkicking defender wtf?

    Agree RE the umpiring decisions there and about Rivers. It's been a while since we've had goal kicking defenders and midfielders.

     

    The main thing I love about about this team is even when teams bring their best heat, they still can’t score. North’s absolute best, which they won’t be able to sustain, sees them 10 points behind and it should be more. 

    Loving that Gawn and TMac have gone the sleeves in the Narrm strip in addition to the usual suspects. Looks great.

    The coaches will sort out the clearance issues at qt

    Oh well. I'll take a 10 point lead at quarter time. I get that it's easy to make fun of NM but I expect every opponent to be competitive against us.

    Narrm FC has never lost a quarter!

    Did Lever cop a whack to the moosh in that push and shove?

    Totally. North couldn't play much better than this, and we're still impenetrable.

    Not a bad first quarter. Didn't expect much from North but they're having a go

    This game, like this ground, is trash. 
    Let’s get the 4 points, avoid injuries and move the hell on to bigger and more important things.

    God help us if the backline ever decided to take a day off

    But we're not 10,000 points up at quarter time against the bottom side! Lazy players don't care! Waaaa!

    Ignoring the fact that a team with nothing to lose are always going to give their absolute all. We don't need to smash them in the first quarter.

     

    Dunstan showing why St Kilda didn't want him clanger king.

    • 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?
