    Tonight is for our Fallen Brother!

    Like a vigil? The cliff edge where the digger was shot?

    Maybe we can just win it for him.

    For some reason the idea of bringing Tomlinson into the team and playing May forward keeps coming to mind. It's left field, but all the other options are underwhelming....

    If he didnt have a big left hook on his kicking AND we had a close replacement i reckon it would've been given some consideration Bingo

    Appears we are going with Disco for JVR this week.

    As Gary Lineker recently said on his podcast “when I went to Barcelona I was chasing and tackling and the players stopped me at half time and said ‘what are you doing, you’re here to score goals.’ I said to myself ‘I’ll have a bit of that’ but when I came back to Spurs I had to do that nonsense again!”

    Not worthy of a new topic, however, would like to know if people think this group of players gets a bit of stage fright early in front of big hostile crowds at the G?

    I know they’ve got Grand final experience (albeit at Optus) but it seems that whenever we play in front of a large MCG crowd against a another big Victorian team we start poorly.

    Some recent examples:

    Round 6: Richmond ANZAC eve - poor start

    Round 13 - Collingwood KBD - poor start

    Round 22 - Carlton - poor start

    QF - Collingwood - poor start.

    I know we had finals wins in 2018 but Geelong and Hawthorn crowds don’t have the same level of goading and intimidation as a Pies/Blues/Richmond crowd. 

    I don't thinks so only by the unfortunate stat that we have started poorly in quite a few others.

    I admire our fight backs but it's frustrating that we are putting ourselves in these positions.

    But kudos for attempting to explain them. It's quite strange.

    Once again we are mentally and physically falling apart in September.

    2021 was a blessed year... shame it happened 9000km away from most of our supporters.

    Goodwin will have to be forced into playing Grundy he doesnt like change and will resist it he should have realized earlier Max cannot do it on his own and played Grundy against Collingwood just like his idea of a Forward Line he wont admit that he was wrong i blame him entirely

    My understanding is that Gawn has had this for a few weeks now and just has a needle pre match.

    Yes but if he goes down we only have TMac or Joel Smith to ruck. Grundy has to play

    And it should be said Grundy is an 2xAA Team member and a 2x Copeland Trophy winner.

    If he is picked he will go nuts wanting to play in a Prelim and a GF

    He is primed.

    If he isn't picked that will tell us a fair but more about Goody

    If only we had some other ideas as to using players........

    Amazing to see him up and about! 
    It truly is sad how little I care about this season now. I just want Gus to be ok.

    The C'wood supporting morons in the media and supporters will cite that as evidence that he was faking it the whole time.

    • 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?
