    that quarter couldnt have gone much worse. everyone needs to pull their collective fingers out otherwise we on a hiding here

    We are not just Max Gawn. This is inexcusable. A poor showing from a team full of guns, supposedly pushing for a premiership.Ā

    I canā€™t recall a worse quarter from us since 2020.Ā 

    6 goals conceded (the Dogs probably kicked 6 in a quarter in Round 1 last year but it would be rare). Something like 15-0 inside 50s in the last 10 minutes. And I reckon all 6 of their goals have been from stoppage. Brutalised in clearances 16-6, losing CPs to boot. Not to mention fumbly and resorting to long kicks with no obvious target.Ā 

    Letā€™s hope it was a mulligan quarter.Ā

    I really hope a lot of people learned something today. You might want to be a pig-headed arrogant footy fan, you know? The type you despise so much in Geelong and Hawthorn fans. But this doesnt mean everyone else does. It's a two team sport and treating an opposition with caution is not a weakness.

    Brisbane have their tails up and we are still on the plane it seems. Could get ugly.

    Will be interesting to see if anyone wants to stand up for us.

    The fact that I donā€™t even care about how pathetically our midfield is playing, tells you how crushed I am about Gawn. This season could well be over.Ā

    Boy that is a shock, we look very second rate, second to the ball everywhere, except Lever. Oliver, Tracc, Viney look pedestrian. WTF is going on? Grundy needs to step up this quarter!Ā

    It looks like a suspected medial injury for Max Gawn, given he has ice on the inside of his knee.

    Not ideal, but certainly better than a potential ACL injury.

    Hardly any wins in the center from our rucks.

    All taps from Brissy at center bounces towards their goal and there's no defensive sweeper on that side for us.

    Allowing Brissy players to get it out of the middle too easily.

    Energy so far is right off.Ā  Second to the ball.Ā  Multiple Brissy players at the drop with Melb players trailing behind.

    Not looking good at all in the middle in particular.

    Silly tackle from Rivers on the first gamer!Ā  Amature stuff.

    Plenty of time to turn this around but not sure given the very ordinary start and flat feel from the armchair.

    At least three obvious holding the ball / incorrect disposal decisions not given.Ā  The ducking the head one wow!

    Umps a joke for stopping play for Zorko

    Surely a trainer on field for an uninjured player (if you can call zoeko that) is a fifty.Ā 
    umps have been very poor so far - didnā€™t see a duck and paid high, then did see a duck but didnā€™t adjudicate the prior opportunity correctly, canā€™t do centre bounces straight up. Bailey tackled and just dropped it, Cameron tackled and bounced ball on ground.Ā 
    But we are playing horrendous too which wouldnā€™t change the result of a very poor quarter.Ā

    Our performance so far reminds me of Richmond v Carlton, but worse.

    Is it only me or Brayshaw looks like he takes too many clangers inside our 50?

    • PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Way back in March we contemplated the possibility of a Demon resurgence after Simon Goodwinā€™s summer of love.Ā ManyĀ issues at the club had seemingly been addressed, key players were returning from injury and a brand new day was about to dawn. We imagined the coach pulling a rabbit out of a hat. The team would roar up the charts, push aside every opponent and make its way to a Grand Final ending in ultimate triumph with Goody and Max holding the premiership cup aloft under a shower of red and blue ticker tape.

    • AFLW REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      Weā€™re back! That was fun. The Mighty Deesā€™ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commandingĀ 48-point winover the Western Bulldogs, retaining the Hampson-Hardeman Cup in style. After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

    • CASEY: Box Hill

      The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

      The final game of the 2025 Season is finally upon us and the Demons may have an opportunity to spoil the Magpies Top 4 aspirations when they face them on Friday Night. Who comes in and who goes out?
