Not at the game.

Can anyone explain why we're trying to switch the ball so much tonight?

I think we are trying to drag the Saints players out of our forward 50 by switching the ball and going short. In order to have a more open forwardline.

    JVR, Smith, Schache, Petty (if Tomlinson back in the team which he should be), Fritsch if not injured.

    Is Smith the sub?

    Defenders panic when teams have multiple talk forward to cover, imagine if we had another couple of marking forwards down there!

    Even moreso when the ball comes in quick and the fwds aren't competing against each other

    Kozzie 1 handball

    He needs to be dropped. He is not impacting games and nobody is doing him any favours by keeping him in the seniors. I’d give him 2-3 weeks in the 2s just to get his mojo back.

    I’ll say it - Pickett off Smith on

    Pickett needs to go back to VFL absolutely terrible performance. We need him playing well and he needs to go back to learn and find some form

    We need Trac and Kozzie to rise, or at least get the ball.

    I feel like we are being beaten at ground level (again)

    Our kicking and disposal efficiency is looking a lot better.

    Our F50 entries and general play look good.

    Steven May is brilliant.

    Is Kozzie asleep? He seems to be jogging around in a perpetual daze.

    If pickett can’t turn it around in the 2nd half he just MUST be dropped. Is sooo far off it.. Confidence shot.. Just can’t keep his spot in the side.

    Why try when you’ve got four more years in the bag?

    Pickett just watching there, applied zero pressure.

    Sub time?

    Goody needs to send a message to Kozzie. Drop him FFS.

    Cant keep getting a game on the basis of ‘game changer’.

    He hasn’t changed a game in 2 months!!!!!

    the commentators are openly barracking for the saints.

    we just look so far off it/ out of form 

    hopefully we run over the top of them in the second half

    Oh rubbish, he’s playing like a millionaire who thinks he’s better than what he is

    I’ve been lectured fairly solidly by some here for calling out Pickett’s performances these past couple of months. Obviously he’s got a whole half of football to make amends, but if this form continues tonight, those lecturers can stick their stat sheets where the sun don’t shine.

    disappointing quarter

    We are letting them stay in the game

    We seem so slow. No dare or run. By the time they move the pill forward, Saints have us covered. We look so ordinary to say the least.

    give kozzie 10mins in the next quarter if he is not showing any improvement put smith on. a lot of poor disposals as usual, just lucky its the saints that arent kicking straight. ben brown has show he can mark on the lead so why are we still kicking it to a pack. some of our player are just too slow in moving the ball on we have player open short that they could go to, to keep it moving but they go back and slow it all down before sending a long kick down the line where the saints talls mark it.

    • NON-MFC: Round 11

      Round 11, the second week of The Sir Doug Nicholls Round, kicks off on Thursday night with the Cats hosting the Bulldogs at Kardinia Park. Geelong will be looking to to continue their decade long dominance over the Bulldogs, while the Dogs aim to take another big scalp as they surge up the ladder. On Friday night it's he Dreamtime at the 'G clash between Essendon and Richmond. The Bombers will want to avoid another embarrassing performance against a lowly side whilst the Tigers will be keen to avenge a disappointing loss to the Kangaroos. Saturday footy kicks off as the Blues face the Giants in a pivotal clash for both clubs. Carlton need to turn around their up and down season while GWS will be eager to bounce back and reassert themselves as a September threat. At twilight sees the Hawks taking on the Lions at the G. Hawthorn need to cement themselves in the Top 4 but they’ll need to be at their best to challenge a Brisbane side eager to respond after last week’s crushing loss to the Dees on their home turf. The first of the Saturday night double headers opens with North Melbourne up against the high-flying Magpies. The Roos will need a near-perfect performance to trouble a Collingwood side sitting atop the ladder.

    • 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?
