The crowd is too small for Petracca which is why he only has his 9 touches to half time.

I think you forgot about the two brilliant goals 

Getting dudded by the umps again with two different interpretations of holding the ball

 

Dispose accurately at first option and we win this. 

I hate this jumper. 3rd time this year...

And as mentioned TWO classic 50 meter penalties against Geelong not paid.

Dare say we probably need another tall target.

Yep.... i would play Gawn 80% forward with only 20% in the ruck interchanging with Dogga from here.

We need a tall target at CHF to straighten us up and get the ball to ground.  Will also upset their spare a little

 

I've loved Bedford's game over the past few weeks but tonight it's showing he just can't go against the big boys. 

He'd struggle in finals

Doing pretty well to be only 4pts behind. We haven’t had momentum all night. Get some control and I reckon we can power away.


Bowey, Lever & May look a little off the pace tonight

If we’re within 6 goals at 3QT, we’ve got this

Steven May very fumbly. Lots of players slipping over. Handballing to team mate 1 metre away under pressure. All these making us look 5 goals down.

But our main issue is our constant missing a target inside 50 when kicking under little pressure. This has been atrocious. 

Great game though - two great teams pressuring the carp out of each other.

Yep. He's miles off the pace in this game.

Think you might be correct

Why is Pickett anywhere in the team...wtf does he offer

May...get off and get some confidence

Sparrow is an overhyped player by many, he's not AFL level

Gawn, great to see u back

Aside from everything else, I’m not sure confidence is found on the other side of removing yourself from a team, mid-match.

Mate the ball isn’t even hitting the pack, it’s hitting the one cats bloke standing by himself 20m away from the pack!

Out of how many entries. 


Less than a kick in it. Was never going to be easy on their home deck. Few tweaks to make at half time and then come home with a wet sail   go dees

Why was Bradshaw standing 5m back from the mark?

  • 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?

  • POSTGAME: Brisbane

    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.
