On the plus side Oliver is only going to be better for the run.

It took a while for the midfield to gel again with him, but once it did we looked better.

    The Gawn/Grundy experiment doesn’t work, Jacko was more mobile and could trouble the scorers, JVR needs to second ruck with another forward option for the remainder of the season unfortunately.

    Not sure what you were watching Dazzle.  The review was one of the most amature reviews and we're supposed to be watching the game being played at the home of footy!!

    Joke fest!

    That I'll agree with, but aren't they all?

    If we were relying on a score review to win the game then I don't know what to say.

    Fumbliest game I’ve seen Melksham play.

    Petty would’ve clunked at least a couple tonight and we may have won with Max in the ruck more.

    im not too worried though, hurry up fritter!

    I'm proud of the boys.

    When they got out to an 18 point lead I thought we were done. But, we fought back well and you can't question their endeavour and effort.

    Carlton were better on the night, but it doesn't change my opinion that I still think we're genuine contenders still.

    The old bomb it long to a pack has recurred.  Can get away with it sometimes when Petty is there, but more importantly he leads and splits the defence.  Nobody seemed to eat and disperse the defenders tonight.

    Gee, at the end do you reckon when they've got 18 players in defensive 50 there's any space to make a lead?

    It infuriates me that, IIRC, the ARC never appeared to run the side-on and front-on angles together at the same time. 

    Had they done so they would have realised the ball had passed his hand before that moment when they look like they might be touching. 

    Anyway, nothing we can do about it. Need to focus on what is in our control (structure, selection), not what is out of our control.

    So was it touched or are we all just being Melb fans?

    The ball did not deviate. Nobody touched it. 
    The AFL need to get 4K Cameras. It is amateur hour right now 

     

    I hope the entire Club is very angry

    Can't play open all the time, there are times we need to dump it in. I'm not convinced we can play that game if we need to. Hope to be proven wrong but the loss of Petty could well be the difference.

    No you cannot do that all the time but you have to options like we did against the tigers and 3 and 3rd quarters against the roos, kossie and melk/chandler should go no further than the arc no matter what and that is the problem to many players in one half of the ground, blues just had players sit back.

    we are a system based team, and I reckon we went away from our system at the start and end of the last Q.

    credit to carlton that they made that happen.

    We are hard to play against, I reckon teams have to play differently to beat us.

    Grundy doesnt play again, 

    im more ****ty that Salem doesnt ice that kick than the score review and the JVR non free

    GRUNDY SHOCKINGLY INSIPID CAN WE OFLOAD ASAP?

    You're kidding aren't you? You didn't manage to notice he was the better ruckman tonight?

    He certainly isn't a forward, but neither is Gawn

    Really the video is a sham, grainy footage, no clear angles, for a multi million dollar sport its a joke, and please dont cofuse my statement with my level of disappointment, I would love to have pipped the blues again on the siren. 

    If you want to see VAR done properly watch the soccer. AFL is a tight fisted joke

    Exactly, they need to use the super slow motion cameras that are used in every other sporting telecast.

    Sparrow trying to waltz through Newman and getting pinged was embarrassing 

    Seemed to me that he took far too long to kick the ball on a couple of occasions too, wasn’t his best 

  • Quote

    Just watched the slow mo in slow mo.  Missed his left hand, missed his right hand, missed his boot....

    GOAL

    No goal line angle shown to confirm any of that.

    Like it or  lump it we was robbed folks

    Imagine if that's for the premiership. 

    And we call this a professional sport.  Hilarious

    [censored] I hate Carlton. 

    The bunch of meth heads around me could barely string a sentence together. 

    I thought Richmond had the most insufferable fans but I've changed my mind.

    Yes this should have been a free. Was about 10 metres from me and clear contact below knees I would have thought.

    But the fact is, we lost. No do-overs.

    We did go away from the system, last 5min was everyone trying to win the game off their own boot. Need to stick to the plans and not panic.

    The ball was on the other side of his hand, see my screenshot.

    You're actually right. 

    Was watching vision just then. I only saw the initial vision which showed the vision coming behind Marchbank. That's where it looked like his finger deviate.

    I just saw your screenshot angle in full version and he didn't even tough it and there's clearly a gap. Massive [censored] up there, but again, doesn't change my opinion that it was that one instance why we lost the game.

    Rightio, I'll put my hand up and own this one. Apologies to everyone else.

    • 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?
