Do we see Trac coming off soon and letting Smith have a run forward.  

Nope. If anyone it needs to be a small forward. Again we’re struggling with all bar Kozzie wanting to be at fall of the ball.

Lacking another tall target up forward, bring Smith on as another option. If Brown continues as he is, I’d have him ‘strain a toenail’. That’s subbable

    Lever walked off ok into the race yeh?  He appeared to trip on a blade of grass coming in to stand the mark there and tweaked an ankle?

    This game should be over but more worrying is the lack of any finals flair

    We literally are limping towards the finish line

    One my favourite facets of what makes some boxers great is heart. Taking punches and continuing to fight like all hell no matter the odds and just willing yourself to keep going.

    We’re going to need all the heart we can muster to beat Geelong/Sydney/Collingwood to get there.

    Doggies did it in 2016, no reason we can’t.

    That is just really bad to give that last goal away. 

    Even worse when it's centre bounce and we would've known how long was left

    Any word on Lever?

    Rolled ankle. Should be fine.

    Was completely fine on the bench. Not even treated.

    Is it just me or is this a pretty average game?

    We have a handy lead should be more but I am certainly not feeling like it’s over.

    ⭐️Trac 

    👍🏻langers petty Harmes 

    just okay and winning by 22 

    🥔Jackson captain fumbles all night - could’ve taken 7 marks but fumbled them all 

    🥔sparrow gotta bounce da ball !! 
    🥔brown gotta not run straight into defender 

    ? Spargo ? 


    Nick Riewoldt when asked how did you play as a forward, answer all I tried to do was keep on the run even when if the ball was further downfield and keep leading, run my opponent around all day, hey might be worth a try saves just bombing it in again.

    Worried about this 2nd half.

    We have so many banged up bodies out there it's not funny.

    We have been absolutely deplorable when it comes to goals in the last minutes of quarters. I reckon we'd be a lot more stable if we could do that from happening. Two outta two tonight.

    It’s not good at all. Very bland and far from the usual intensity of a final

    Brayshaw doing a good job on Neale.  9 disposals and not a heap of influence.

    Would love to be further ahead.  Looking sore again, but time to dig deep and get the job done this quarter.

    Trac looks v v sore not sure he should be out there 

    There's about six out there that are going to be dubious by the last. Should be aN interesting finish if we don't bury them in the third

    Trust issues but happy to be up and keep a high scoring team to 3 goals for a half. Just need to get a quick start to the 3rd and bury this mob.

    I saw him do that same thing at training about 6 weeks ago. It took him 10 minutes to recover. Got no idea what that is about except he has an ankle with a mind of its own sometimes.

    This is definitely not a great quality game. Miles away from the great contest against the Swans. 
    Hopefully different result.

    Put Harmes on Zorko for the first 10 mins or so....appeared to be their main play maker that quarter.

    Is Gus still on Neale?

    Fritta needs to stay with Andrews on the transition.  Giving him too much room IMV.

     

    Reckon we get overrun from here. Just too many injuries to key players, and no forward presence out of Kozzie to drag us over the line

    With so many of our players limping, roll the dice to see who smith replaces,  early In the third I think. Go Dees

    • 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?

      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.
