    That was Nero's fault. He fiddled instead of calling the fire brigade.

    McKay is actually listed at 204cm.

    It's a significant difference and that's where I thought Tomlinson battled well even though he was beaten.

    I'd play him on Brody Mihocek.

    Mihocek is an aerobic beast fwd he works his [censored] off and Tomlinson can go with him better than May

    Let 2021 go mate. We're not going to dominate every week.

    That's the thing. Some people think the last three minutes of the third quarter of GF was how played for the entirety of 2021. Recall the loss to GWS. Their midfielders waltzed out of centre bounces and our forward line was anaemic (picture high kicks to Spargo matched against two tall defenders...). Re-read the postgame thread; midfield rubbish, Fritsch to be dropped, Goodwin to be sacked. 

    Form fluctuates. Sustained success is hard. Premierships are a possibility not a certainty.

    Lots of focus on our opposition not being amazing but our gold coast win at metricon looks really good to me, as they knocked off the doggies who are in great form.

    Such a tiresome stat that actually shows how we beat up on lowly teams and struggle against top 8 teams.

    Following your logic you must be thrilled with our scores of 76, 72 and 61 in the last three weeks, lol

    We have Coll, Cats at Geelong, Saints, Brisbane and Adelaide coming up, reality check time.

    Good posting

    Absolutely! See also the essendon win, hawthorn draw, loss to the bulldogs (stats were ok but we were really lacking connection), even the wins against West Coast and Adelaide at the end people were not very comfortable with. We played a lot of footy similar to last night in 2021.

    I sort of like it how we are going under the radar with mainstream media at this stage of the season. 

    Same. Bar a couple of close losses this season is trending like 21.

    Good for you 

    You would probably declare season over at three quarter time.

    Probably should be talking about Petracca's game more.

    32 possessions, 6 marks, 4 tackles, 7 clearances, 15 ground ball gets (next highest for either side was Walsh with 8), 9 score involvements but also 27 pressure acts, 11 of which were in the defensive half, all from 83% game time. Did it on offence and defence. Truly superb.

    He played with a chip on his shoulder last night, good to see

    100%
    The backline held the joint together for much of the middle part of the year.
    Front end of the ground didn't work much better than ours is now though Kozzie and Frittta were kicking a few.

    You understand this is blatant hypocrisy, right?

    We win ugly, you talk about how we played terrible football.

    Collingwood win ugly, you talk about their W-L record (i.e. suggesting the win is all that matters).

    Collingwood had one ugly game while we've had quite a few ugly games.

    Did you watch their win against North last week?

    Imagine your reaction if we only beat North by 35 points and allowed them to kick 6 goals in a quarter. 
    You’d be calling for a National inquiry

    I'm sure you wouldn't be happy with conceding six in a quarter to North

    • 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.
