We appear to be interchanging Jackson and Weid on the bench rather than one resting forward.

Perhaps we will see a change

 

We got better as the quarter wore on but low quality fare from both teams thus far

Playing poorly but some woeful umpiring. What really give you headaches is soft frees to them eg Daniher, downfield then blatant mark play on. I know I have red and blue goggles but we get shafted week in week out

Weid looking better in the ruck and around the ground than Dogga 🤣

Funny you say that, I counted at least three times he didn’t even make a contest in the ruck. Either forgot to contend in the forward line or completely mis-timed his jump. He is trying though. It just feels like Dogga isn’t switched on.

Said all week Weid should take most of the ruck

Petracca can’t play in the midfield when he’s not fit. He looks moles off it. He was absolutely spent at the 20 minute mark of that quarter. Something is very clearly wrong with him.

May as well put him forward and roll Koz and Spargs through the guts.

We're showing the run and dash of a Tweed heads prawn trawler 

I don't know how we're going to magically get good from Q2. Unsurprisingly, the same issues remain, but worse, because we don't have maxy to save us with his work around the ground, clutch marks etc. Both our goals have been mayhem/lucky. 

Going to be a long 3 quarters if we don't come out with a better gameplan, and some cleaner skills/forward connection.

 

Lever looks better

Sparrow looks better

however our fwd pressure is still terrible

Thought we blocked their run well in the last ten of that quarter. Was a real good patch by us, with the exception of ‘connection’…need to build on it.

Showed a glimpse in the last few minutes but we are just so sketchy with all facets of the game. 
Why are Brown and Weideman playing so high?

Because we have no marking target coming out of D50

Was a clear touch by the lions player prior to sparrow marking it

What about the Brisbane guy ripping sparrows head off a split second later

I like Jordan, but needs to get better at hitting targets, both by hand and foot. Turning it over too much at the moment.

I think a little composure will go a very long way in this type of game. 


This is a very poor 1 vs 2. You wouldn't believe it if you weren't told the positions on the ladder.

No sign of any attempt to change up our ball movement. So predictable, the opposition set up waiting for it and we have to hope to win every contested ball to move forward. 

Screw the umpires. Run harder, make more options, win more contested ball, make more chances.

Lithotomy?

if we dont lift it will be a lobotomy.....

Brisbane had 7 shots from 10 entries. We had 5 from 13.

We badly need to tighten up defensively if we're not going to quickly turn things around offensively.

To be fair we haven’t looked like a top 2 side for a month or more.

  • 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?
