Fourth quarter was so much better with the volume muted. Viney and Gawn the difference. Bowey and Sparrow had good games.

    Disgusting commentary by Dunstall, barracking for the Suns and calling umps decisions that weren’t even there.

    He made Bristle Taylor sound competent

    We don't win well, and we don't win easily, but we find a way. 

    Some massive deficiencies to be sorted out in our midfield. Some other deficiencies to be worked out in our F50. 

    In the last 5 minutes Rivers, Viney and Brayshaw were immense.

    Levi the difference, far out.

    Suns probably deserved too! Our maturity shone where there's didn't. 

    And we definitely had more favourable umpiring decisions in total.

    Happy to get the four points, but this type of game won’t win us finals.

    Collingwood and Geelong will bend us over like Mr Big in prison.

    We’ll make the 8 no worries but that’s about it.

    Backline aren’t playing like 21, May out of form, still don’t know what we’re doing with out forward line.

    0 stars. We were absolutely putrid. No winners.

    Defense so so so much better when Petty was down there. 
     

    The combination of Turner in and Petty forward totally ruined the balance of the team.

    When Goodwin tries to get cute bad things tend to happen.

    And breathe.....

    Jesus. that was exhausting to watch. 

    Fair play to GC. We were a little bit off tonight but a couple of times a year they pull a game like this out of the box. Killed us at the contest and clearance for a lot of the night and got the ball forward quickly before we could set up. I honestly thought we were destined to cough this one up after Fritta missed a sitter and they went down the other end and scored. 

     Onwards and upwards.

    Bank the 4 points and look to next week. I'd love to say we won't play so poorly again, but we will given  that it's already happened a few times this season.

    We've all seen that movie a billion times over the years but thankfully McPherson didn't put the dagger in. Actually, even then it was set up for an after the siren free kick and goal. Glad that the footy gods are finally going easy on us. To be fair, the Suns probably deserved to win it.

    We won the flag in 2021 on the back of our defense. Not sure that's going to be the case this year. I'm certainly not writing a champion like May off after a couple of poor games, but he's 31, it's almost a bonus if he doesn't start to gradually decline from here. Lever hasn't recaptured his AA form and I think we need Petty to stay back. We seem to be conceding much higher scores this season but thankfully scoring more ourselves. 

    Like seriously, how is Malcolm Rosas putting 4 on us?

    Agree, and they hung Turner out to dry , leaving him one out on casbolt the majority of the game. So undersized compared to him. Jvr needs brown back in. We need Petty back the moves are obvious hopefully see it next week.

    Two times we had 15seconds left in a quarter and gave them a look from a kick out. One of them they kicked a goal.

    Surely we can communicate how much time is left, find one short spot up kick and that ices 10 seconds and games over with a long kick down the boundary.

    FMD we need to find a key forward who can take the game by the scruff and impose himself. This is far from a premiership team atm

    It's a big concern, isn't it? The side doesn't look settled across any line, least of all the forward line.

    I hope Bbb can come back. Petty just doesn't really do and Jvr struggled.

    96 marks to our 66. 

    But our tackling was much better than theirs.

    Turner needs to stay in the reserves until he is physically ready. Petty needs to stay in the backline for the remainder of the year and our forward connection and centre work needs a complete overhaul.

    Not bad for a team currently on top of the ladder hey. FMD.

    No, but it will get us there. Was always going to be a tough game, and I will take any win from that. Again, we almost kicked 100 points, so even though the forward line needs work, we are still scoring. We will get better as the year goes on. No point playing your best footy now. As Goody always says, the season is a marathon, no point going too hard early

      Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.

      It's Game Day and the Demons face a monumental task as they take on the top-of-the-table Magpies in one of the biggest games on the Dees calendar: the King's Birthday Big Freeze MND match. Can the Demons defy the odds and claim a massive scalp to keep their finals hopes alive?

    • CASEY: Collingwood

      It was freezing cold at Mission Whitten Stadium where only the brave came out in the rain to watch a game that turned out to be as miserable as the weather.
      The Casey Demons secured their third consecutive victory, earning the four premiership points and credit for defeating a highly regarded Collingwood side, but achieved little else. Apart perhaps from setting the scene for Monday’s big game at the MCG and the Ice Challenge that precedes it.
      Neither team showcased significant skill in the bleak and greasy conditions, at a location that was far from either’s home territory. Even the field umpires forgot where they were and experienced a challenging evening, but no further comment is necessary.
