We lost clearance when it mattered, our tackles didn’t stick, we were undisciplined and gave away 3 goals from 50s,  our inside 50 method was horrible for most of the game again and we missed gettable shots.

    Outfought, outmarked, outrun and outcoached by a vastly superior team on the night. In a  nutshell, totally outplayed. Only plus was Steven May's superb job on Buddy. TMac surely has to be considered for next week.

    Beaten. 
     

    Beaten by intensity and a better coach on the night. 
     

    Every normal Avenue we usually go to had a swans player ready to cut it off: 

     

    We were beaten.

    let that sink in.

    Yep I've been at the G for many of those losses. I really hate losing to them here. Or anywhere obviously, but especially here.

    Back to the wing please.

     

    Absolutely. He just isn’t good enough with his disposal for the middle.

    2.57 on Sportsbet for the swans was blatant robbery

    if you didn’t load up on that you have rocks in your head 

    How's the bath water you're gulping down?

    Sydney were very, very good tonight. They just played one of those games. 
     

    We’ve played one of those games before. Just not tonight. 
     

    Onward and upward.

    May two huge momentum killers when 16 and 12 points up.

    Beaten by a better team, no need to panic 

    We were a little bit off outside of a couple of patches, very confident we will bounce back against the Lions next week

    lots of teams who win multiple flags have lost qualifying finals

    I feel sorry for the Victorian fans who had to wait 12 months to experience that rubbish

     

    Wish the boys had of thought about us poor Vic supporters. Very hard to watch. Wish Goody would've made changes in the second half. Having blind faith in the system doesn't always work.

    Not sure what much more Oliver could have done. Oliver was simply incredible.

    Sydney were simply awesome, no team would have beaten them tonight,

    But or forward line has some work to do otherwise our season ends next week or the one after.

    Gus did not lose us this game. Too many mistakes by too many, and too few putting in. Thank god for May and Oliver, or it would have been a walkover.

    Write the game off ... just a bad night.  Sydney were just too good and they taught us a lesson

    But we've got the double chance so all is not lost.  We live to fight another day

    We'll go with the same line-up I believe and I'm confident we'll beat Brisbane

    Do that and we are in a PF

    Oliver, May and Petty aside, we were weak, fumbly and unfocused. 
     

    I have said all season that our best is the best, but we have been at our best only a small handful of times this year. Today we were below average. Midfield was an embarrassment and forwardline performed as it has all year, badly.

    Going to have to beat the Lions and then Collingwood or Geelong to make it. and i'm guessing Sydney again in the grand Final.

    ANB was horrible, Melksham would have lost his spot, LJ was shocking. 

    Add Salem to that lot. Putrid disposal again. Bring Bowey back.

    Forward line disappears after half time need more structure and a CHF. Not a makeshift one like Gawn/Dogga.

    • GAMEDAY: Geelong

      It's Game Day, and reinforcements are finally arriving for the Demons—but will it be too little, too late? They're heading down the freeway to face a Cats side returning home to their fortress after two straight losses, desperate to reignite their own season. Can the Demons breathe new life into their campaign, or will it slip even further from their grasp?

    • PREVIEW: Geelong

      "It's officially time for some alarm bells. I'm concerned about the lack of impact from their best players." This comment about one of the teams contesting this Friday night’s game came earlier in the week from a so-called expert radio commentator by the name of Kane Cornes. He wasn’t referring to the Melbourne Football Club but rather, this week’s home side, Geelong.The Cats are purring along with 1 win and 2 defeats and a percentage of 126.2 (courtesy of a big win at GMHBA Stadium in Round 1 vs Fremantle) which is one win more than Melbourne and double the percentage so I guess that, in the case of the Demons, its not just alarm bells, but distress signals. But don’t rely on me. Listen to Cornes who said this week about Melbourne:- “They can’t run. If you can’t run at speed and get out of the contest then you’re in trouble.

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit.
      Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      For a brief period of time in the early afternoon of yesterday, the Casey Demons occupied top place on the Smithy’s VFL table. This was only made possible by virtue of the fact that the team was the only one in this crazy competition to have played twice and it’s 1½ wins gave it an unassailable lead on the other 20 teams, some of who had yet to play a game.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      In my all-time nightmare game, the team is so ill-disciplined that it concedes its first two goals with the courtesy of not one, but two, fifty metre penalties while opening its own scoring with four behinds in a row and losing a talented youngster with good decision-making skills and a lethal left foot kick, subbed off in the first quarter with what looks like a bad knee injury.
