We can’t deal with the slippery conditions. We are wrong footed and fumbley as a result. They are doing fine with it. How many high tackle frees have we given away this quarter? Some kind of record

    Why are they playing American john Denver.

    Because Brisbane people don’t give a [censored] about AFL.

    Attitude and performance of our midfield tonite is pathetic, we won’t do any better than last year and haven’t learnt much based on this performance - no commitment and desire to dig in when it gets tough


    That’s a good goal to Benny Brown. Perfectly executed.

    What a disgraceful comment. Footy involves 2 teams. Sometimes, believe it or not, you get beaten. Check yourself before you comment next time. 

    Seriously this is not a two team performance. We are ball watching. This is absolutely putrid.

    Showing he comp early we pretty ordinary when the pressure's on.

    Listening to half the people on here today it was apparently us who were the mentally stronger.

    I seriously don't rate Brisbane ....which makes our performance so far ....appalling.

    If half of our usual culprits lift we win this.  Thats how bad we're going and how easy it will be to turn it around

    may, salem, gawn, pickett out of the game, grundy and plugger barely played for a year, viney and fritsch coming back from knee and ankle injuries respectively - just too many of best 22 unavailable or not match fit

    Dont make excuses we are PUTRID TONIGHT

    OLIVER, CAREER WORST PERFORMANCE add VINEY, PETTY, LEVER ,TMC HARMES ET AL Just terrible from too many

    Trying to play system footy without the elite players the system is designed upon.

    At some stage we have to play draft, develop and play the game on its merits.

    Players with the physical attributes and training to play the game as it presents itself rather than relying on Superstars like Gawn making life easy for them 


    Lever a clear BOG for me.

    Jake Bowey not far behind.

    • 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?
