    Petracca a liability todayĀ

    Just now, leave it to deever said:

    We actually won the clearances in the 2nd but got smashed with our ball use.

    Sparrow's the one for me in the middle that needs to get going.

    Jv looks a little off, agreed.

    Yes forgot about Sparrow.Ā  His reaction time looks pedestrian against the best clubs at times under heat.

    Needs to speed things up and drive those legs out of congestion more.

    Petty needs a block of games to see if he can settle in.Ā  Switching him back now is pointless as you're admitting defeat before you've given it a decent go.

    Ok so if we're up by 15 plus with 3 minutes to go that's diff.Ā  Then you might throw him (among others) behind the ball

    I think throwing him back for match ups is ok.

    They have 3 tall forwards, although only started with two on field. If we put him back to cover the third, I've no problem with that change, wouldn't think it was admitting defeat.

    Ā 

    Sydney certainly had more control in that quarter. A small crumbing forward would be handy.Ā 

    good first half. Swans are top 4 team and have the wood on us.Ā 

    keep up the intensity and tidy up kicking and we will win this

    Its nothing to do with that its the clearance battle and the cleaner ball theyre getting into forward 50 vs our spasmodic clearances and dirtty ball going in thereafter.

    The day we can spread from a clearance then drive it forward finding a leading forward almost directly in front on occasions will be a refreshing change.

    Chandler, Spargo & Tracc really need to get on their bikes big time in this second half.

    JV's in pretty bad form so far.Ā  Looks sluggish, trying to do too much and getting caught....alot.

    P.S. Kozzy out is such a killer.Ā 

    Ā He should go back to late season 21 where his first option was pass it off he has gone back to captain tackled he doesn't have good footy IQ.

    Death, taxes and the person that wants to tell everyone if you read the gameday thread you wouldn't know we're in front.Ā

    I donā€™t think Oliver has had the greatest starts to the year but I feel much more confident in his set shot goal kicking.Ā

    Swans looking much better when they stop playing dirty football and just get on with the game. Losing it when they start their dirty, feux tuff guy rubbish.Ā

    And people complaining about Clarry not being damaging enough despite having heaps of it, leading our metres gained and contested possessions and scored involvements including kicking a couple of goals.

    • REPORT: Brisbane

      ā€œMax 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.ā€ - The Monday Knee Jerk Reaction: Round Ten Of course, it wasnā€™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 Oā€™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, thereā€™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 Demonsā€™ poor use of the football, itā€™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 Campbellā€™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?
