We didn’t deserve to win, but we were good enough to get close.

    Port are being well coached this year. They have a few spuds that are playing decent, hard football.

    Very concerned about our record against top 8 teams.

    Didn’t deserve it.

    Terrible at clearances, terrible at getting the ground ball, terrible tackling (in the last quarter ANB actually stood flat-footed while he watched a Port Player gathered the ball and had to time to dispose of it before going in for the tackle) went to water under pressure.

    I said last week that good teams willl destroy us, we have been beating up on mediocre teams and got found out tonight.

    We need more speed in the side, Hunter hasn’t done anything for weeks.

    That boundary throw in at the end was comically bad but didn’t cost us the game.

    Definitely not blaming umpiring but there were some real howlers and non calls in that last 5 mins along with a pathetic throw in at 15 seconds left.

    Chocco needs to work on our ball handling skills. The amount of fumbling we do is ridiculous.

    First quarter was terrible but can’t be overly disappointed with the loss. Port are a good team and that was hostile territory. We did well to be in a winning position and they just go on top of us. Need to sort out these quarters where our mids seemingly go missing.

    Aside from half a quarter, we were a very poor, uninspiring team outclassed by a better team. 

    We came in soft beating up on bad teams and tonight were shown up by a contender. Another loss to a team in the 8. Not a good look. 

    Ah well we’ll always have 2021 😔

    Can’t expect to win games of footy with 15-20 minutes at this level, especially as we start playing better sides.

    I hope there are a few blokes feeling guilty for some appalling efforts.

    We lack a bit of appetite for the contest and have an air of arrogance about us at the moment.

    Not sure we are where we hope to be at this stage of the year, particularly from a gameplay and cohesion standpoint

    Would've been good to make Butters accountable after collecting 35,000 disposals in the first half? Rotate Hibberd, Riv and ANB off him. When a guy is completely off the chain he has to be stopped

    Pressure and clearance won the game/lost the game.  

    We expected too much from too few, with only some superhuman efforts getting us a whisker in front.

    Pressure is the way to beat Narrm.

    Very few winners tonight and way too many guys went missing.

    We played one great quarter and were flogged in 3. Questions will rightly be asked about our ability to beat other contenders.

    Disappointed, but we got what we deserved.

    Story same as our wins

    20/30 minute's doesn't cut it against top 8 sides

    We are making up the numbers this year. We aren’t anywhere near good enough for a flag. 

    Pathetic effort to play for 10mins of one quarter - we got what we deserved even with the shafting by the umpires.

    You look at our lineup on paper and just wonder how we can be so ordinary so often when coming up against the better teams.

    We seem to be smack bang in the middle of wasting the best group of MFC talent we may see in our lifetimes.

    Then again, maybe our guys are just a bit overrated.

    • 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?

      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.
