Petty, BBB, JVR and Fritta a combined 0 marks between them.

Well Fritsch did have a mark but the Brisbane player illegally chopped his arms.

    It all comes down to the midfield. We are getting smashed in clearances and contested possessions. That’s the game. 
    You can’t blame the forwardline when the midfield is not able to win the ball.

    Embarrassing

    Look very flat, 2 hard games with 5 day breaks … not sure why we never  have tall fwds  when the ball is going fwd 

    BBB should be deep inside the 50 and trying to attract Harris Andrews attention. Instead we keep hoping that JVR can compete with a veteran Backman.

    What's disappointing about that is that he used to clunk everything for Casey.

    He's OK when the ball comes in soft but not when it comes in with pace.


    Tall key forwards Petty BBB JVR - one solitary disposal to half time.

    Add Frittata - 2 disposals between them

    Makes you wonder how Brisbane's midfield can be so superior, but they are killing us! Everything else flows from this.

     

    As a team performance this is about as bad as it gets, hardly anyone winning their position can't see us getting out of this

    We look tired;  BBB, Petty Billings nothing

     

    Shot to bits.

    We butchered two attacking thrusts in that last little peroid.

    We had them cold and reduced the deficit by a couple of goals.

    Terrible football.

    No it's his marking technique full stop.

    Well he's two disposals above Bbb. .Fritta and Petty the latter who has had zero touches.

    Petty no touches in a half.....hmmm.

    Joeboy. Great stuff. Name names. Running in circles.  JVR has dropped 15 marks in a row.

    This is simplistic. We are down in all areas aside from goal accuracy compared to last year and we are getting smoked by a team that is going moderate to good in all areas aside from accuracy. Just so happens there slotting them tonight.

    Easy shots given.

    You may be right. I do know that he can't be dishing up what he has been. Take the damn game on. There's a point in time where we may as well give Jefferson an earlier than expected crack.

    I think Norf put up a better fight against them last week. 

    We are kicking a score similar to a Hawthorn or North tbh.

    The inexperience of our youngsters, Windsor, Howes, JVR and McVee, is showing.
    And our experienced forwards, Brown, Petty, Fritter, are out of position when the ball comes in.

    Clarrie is obviously hampered by his hand and is pretty much useless tonight. 


    Agree we’ve been [censored], but I’m ready to jump the fence and deck one of these useless umpires.

    * violence apparently doesn’t solve anything. I might find out later.

    And when we win it we give it back.

    Did anyone else get the feeling we were talking up our wins in Adelaide too much.

    Like we had just one a final.

    Clearly we were very happy with these wins 

    So much so we have given up on this one 

    A very poor performance.

    Very poor 

    From the top down.

    And a shout out to Kozzie...well played sitting on the sidelines.

    Move Petty back & T Mac forward. Worth a try at least.

    Was thinking exactly that.

    Gotta make a move when absolutely nothing is working up forward.

    • 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?
