Been feeling this for a while but tonight it has come to a head......we are so f$#@ing boring to watch. 

 

Other than 2021 finals we've always been boring bar the occasional quarter

    There's no run and gun in this team.

    Playing momentum footy for no reason has played right into the depleted Tiger's hands and they will now have massive belief coming into the rooms at half time.

    As someone said earlier...no leadership out there anywhere so far.

    Maxy had a chance to set things up and settle the team with two in a row and instead went for the hero kick... ughh

    Yze knows it’s pressure that beats Melbourne 

    What happened to our skills ?

    Imagine if we played a good side tonight like Geelong ? Would it be a 100 point drubbing.

    Maybe last week wasn’t an abomination?

    Don’t worry, this is made for the super sub Bailey to come in and look like a million dollars. 

    His woeful skills and decision making will fit right in with his teammates.

    That is the worst half of kicking turnovers I have seen from MFC ever. 

     

    There were worse during the Nield years!

    It has been a putrid match so far. Skills from both sides atrocious. Umpiring poor both ways. On form it's hard to see how we're a legitimate contender this year with such poor forward connection and conversion. Seems we haven't fixed our main issue of the last two years.

    Why does T Mac think he can kick a accurate pass off one step?

    he is good when he knows his limitations. 

    that turnover was soul destroying

    I don’t even know what position Petty is playing. I don’t think he knows. 

    He's a waste of a list spot in 2024. Let's hope he comes good before finals or nets us a first round pick when he pisses off to Adelaide.

    There's no pressure on half of the missed passes.

    My god we are playing pathetic football. Our skills are more akin to a bottom 4 team, not top 4 (or even top 8).

    Our forward line is a basket case, our delivery not much better.

    How much longer will our backline be able to keep our sinking ship afloat?

    I’m at the ground and watching Petty run around like a headless chook. 
    Not only does he not offer a target, his opponent (Miller) runs from him with ease. Yes, I know he had no preseason and he has already had more disposals than he had last match (3 cf 2).

    Yeah, nothing compared to the game against Brisbane. Are they still spooked from that game and feel the tigers are on top of them as the Lions did? It looks like that!

    Ditto. Beautiful conditions.  Laziness is the word. Pure laziness.

    • 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?
