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

    2 kicks in total for the half for Brown, Tholstrup, Fritsch, Windsor, vanRooyen, Pettty combined😱

    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.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • POSTGAME: Geelong

      The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.

      It's Game Day, and reinforcements are finally arriving for the Demons—but will it be too little, too late? They're heading down the freeway to face a Cats side returning home to their fortress after two straight losses, desperate to reignite their own season. Can the Demons breathe new life into their campaign, or will it slip even further from their grasp?
