Unfortunately this headline writes itself. Going to be some unfortunate comparisons to the men's exits last two years.

    There's surely something to it? Possibly the club thinks it's better than it is, and that results will just come.

    At least the men were in with a chance in both finals this year.

    The women have virtually rolled over in both of our finals this past week. Very poor indeed. Something doesn’t smell right about the MFC at the minute.

    I was just thinking that.

    Fumbling, poor disposal, can’t kick, mark or handball.

    What has happened?

    Gee WCW will be disappointed at the ground. This is not good for the women and club in general. Maybe Goody should get out of the box.

    To reply to Alister Nicholson on 7 - I don't give a single [censored] about the public perception of the MFC. They are all nuffies I do not care for.

    BRING BACK MARK NEELD!

    Clearly catastrophising here.

    It’s so sad that such a talented team is struggling to take marks, hit targets, lay tackles, play footy.

    it seems easy. wait for melbourne player take the ball, tackle them with a teammate and wait for the melbourne player  to give it to an opposition player and then take the opportunity.

    Genuinely embarrassed with the effort the last two weeks.

    To be honest, the women's team hasn't looked the same since Goodwin said he could sniff an AFLW flag at the BNF.

    Wow. I wonder if any side has imploded so spectacularly in finals as we have this year. Men's or women's.

    Just a simple thing. Lauren Pearce played a great quarter, but she can’t kick straight. This is known. Why has there not been at least one option running past her to take the handball ? Not one, not once.

    Every single aspect of our game is poor at present, but our foot skills are simply atrocious. How can we have so many players who can't hit the side of a barn from 15 metres away?

    He’s so bad. I admire his confidence in becoming a commentator despite the most unpleasant voice this side of Kelly Underwood

    The commentators are the least of the problems.

     

    Certainly, but the audio assault on top of the visual assault doesn't make for a pleasant Sunday afternoon  :')

    I was writing a post to explain this, but I give up. I know what I would have said at half time if I was coach... But it is too late now. All we can hope for is that these women take some pride in their team and their personal performance in the final quarter. Our Golden period is clearly over. Mental issues more than physical issues. Its difficult to watch!

    • 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?
