Only positive I can see is that I'm not the silly [censored] with $50,000 on them to win but at least 6 points.

Goody said before the game he does give the team a spray if it's required. I'd say tonight is the time again 

Pathetic. That was the worst quarter our current midfield has ever played. 

 

We have to be the worse side in the AFL at going for the ball and keeping it front of us. 

Every time we pick the ball we are so easily pushed/bumped off the ball and the ball goes tumbling out to the opposition favoured side while we have 3 players running to the other side for a cheap one.


Lever used to be our best player.

I've never seen Max and Teac so uninvolved.

Those dogs are absolutely smashing our captain up.

Still in it.

Come on Naarm. Punch back

 

The only way is up in terms of stoppage work. Abysmally bad that half.

Would love for someone to stand up for Max. Butters, and just about every other port player, bumps into him at every opportunity. Hell even a 4 gamer in Lord had the nerve to put a dirty elbow into his back. Stand up for your captain ffs.

This is why I bang on about clearances.

We need clearances, we need first use of the ball because we need to be playing in front because as soon as the game becomes a scrap we are no good.

Lucky we have the best midfield we’ve ever had then. Weird how ineffective they are. It just doesn’t add up

If this midfield group doesn’t get their head ripped off at half time by the coaches, for this lifeless, soft, insipid performance, then I’m not sure when they will.

This.

JVR is a bright young talent, but jeez he runs under the ball repeatedly and is basically uncompetitive. He doesn’t have any support. Brown should’ve come in instead of TMac. At least he draws a man, free kicks, and was kicking goals before injury. 


Dees haven't showed up 

Some pretty poor efforts out there ATM 

They are getting stuck into Gawn again. Someone fly the flag and help out the captain ffs. 

We are playing afraid. Afraid of [censored] it up, afraid of losing.

Where has a g&d from 2021 gone. We were relentless in our attack and endeavour, now we are way too regimented in our ‘systems’ that when it doesn’t go according to plan we are all at sea.

12 frees to 7 and we got first three.

clarrie called for throws

but Port multiple one handed throw, Powell pepper double handed over top of his head

umpiring is so bad

max pushed in back constantly only free in centre against him for blocking a joke

Still demons need to lift

Umps influenced by the moron crowd noise.

It's always the way there. Always.

Max needs to show some leadership. Getting some treatment, but needs to work his way through it

Forunate

*Very* forunate. 
 

I’d go as far as to say: tremendously lumky 

It’s the midfield.

Forwards are not getting a look, backs are under siege.

Midfield cannot clear and move the ball.

  • PREVIEW: Sydney

    The two teams competing at the MCG on Sunday afternoon have each traversed a long and arduous path since their previous encounter on a sweltering March evening in Sydney a season and a half ago. Both experienced periods of success at various times last year. The Demons ran out of steam in midseason while the Swans went on to narrowly miss the ultimate prize in the sport. Now, they find themselves outside of finals contention as the season approaches the halfway mark. The winner this week will remain in contact with the leading pack, while the loser may well find itself on a precipice, staring into the abyss. The current season has presented numerous challenges for most clubs, particularly those positioned in the middle tier. The Essendon experience in suffering a significant 91-point loss to the Bulldogs, just one week after defeating the Swans, may not be typical, but it illustrates the unpredictability of outcomes under the league’s present set up.

  • 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?
