Our kicks just always seem to fall short.

We have been sloppy but will tighten up.

    West Coast's mids are playing shoulder to shoulder with ours in the ball ups. I'd like to see Grundy tap it outside that 3-5 metre zone and have our mids run onto it.

    May needs to be banned from kicking in until he takes better options. They have to spread the talls and kick to the one Barrass isn’t on. It’s not rocket science 


    People seem to be disappointed based on some silly idea we should win by 100. We will win by 10 goals at minimum. That’s plenty. Who cares. We did this against sides in 2021. We even lost to Adelaide then. We were a good side then. This whole good sides do this and that speak is nonsense based on fantasies and wishful thinking. But hey, we still might win by 100. The eagles will fade.

    My best players include Yeo and Barrass. Worried now about Petty. Been on Petty watch for 2 weeks now. Hope its nothing

    Our inconsistency is frustrating. We turn it up against the swans, and now struggling against the WAFL eagles. It’s momentum killing stuff, even if we eek out a win. Hope we wake up and realise we have to earn a win. 


    No key forwards can do anything about kicks to their opponents. That Fritsch kick that missed Petty a  classic example 


    It’s like we are waiting for it to click instead of out working them. This game is still a danger right now.

    • 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.
