AFL site does that you have to refresh for it to show half time.

    Bit weird watch Weid play well and then a GWS forward line with Bedford and Hogan in it.

    That's one glaring problem right there that's so easy to fix. Mark gets spoilt and punched forward to waiting opposition. So predictable 

     

    It become so predictable by the 2nd quarter that now opposition teams just swam in numbers to the contest that'd been kicked to and just put number us.

    Port did a number on this on our kick outs.

    Listening to Nathan Buckley comment on how well Collingwood are playing is odd.

    Whats changed since they finished 17th Bucks - seeings it’s 90% the same list? Oh, you got sacked.

    Has all the skills, my problem was his intensity, goes to show a regular game and structure in the forward line helps, I wonder where we could do that?

    Can’t help but feel we dropped the ball with Weed. We have TMac BBB and Schache doing very little when the Weed in the forward line with JVR who provides the intensity could have worked well.

    St Kilda showcasing the Belgian national colours.

    The Saints actually switched to those colours during WWI as the German colours were red, black and white.

    Saints win the award for the best indigenous jumper in my opinion

     bizarre that not many have used yellow. especially essendon who have the other two colours on the flag

    Toby Bedford can run but little impact. 

    Gritty win by the Saints. Would gladly take Wanganeen Milera off their hands.

    And who's fault is that we have a ruckman as a forward coach, should have changed it last year, kids like JVR and co need to learn forward craft at this level.

    The best batting coach I had was a world class bowler. One of the greatest swimming coaches of all time - couldn't swim. It is beyond dispute that there is little correlation between a coach's competence and their capabilities as a athlete.

    West Coast are putrid. Melbourne 2012-2014 level putrid.

    I reckon WC are setting new levels in this space BDA, not doing an AFL pre season type levels.

    How can the highest profiting club in the country not have a world class fitness and conditioning crew.

    The amount of injuries they have is unforgivable, it seems as though they have carried over the old can't train because of covid 19 excuse.

    Do they have a medical department?

    It's the biggest tank going around on wheels and know one in the media in either WA or VIC have dug up a thing.

    This is as systematic as it gets and Adam Simpson isn't even under pressure because the board have backed him to tank the lights out in 2022 and 2023.

    They were dead set turnstiles today.

    he got every chance in 2022. If he had come on we might have had a different outcome.

    Good luck to him at the Bombers but his time with us was up.

    Jesse Hogan on the other hand...

    Wait and see how he goes when Wright  and Jones return. He is playing with more run and leading I admit but for how long.

    • 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?
