Surely Trac will have a better second half 

I know he's being tagged but Tracca always has better second halves than firsts for some reason.

  I wouldn’t describe our forward line or even attacking game as explosive. 

Tedious, spluttering and inaccurate perhaps?

 

Chins ok. Had a tough game, Taj going ok, both may have a better half.

Billings out Bill Laurie in.

1st half

The good running. Defence.  Structure.  

👏Petty.  McVee. May. Lever. Sparrow. Lingers  

 

The bad😡goalkicking is TERRIBLE. JVR. PICKETT. BILLINGS. JVR. GAWN. All are TERRIBLE. 


🤨Billings 🤨Chandler 🤨

 🤢Trac. Fumbles and handballs.  One kick in a half.  More intensity. Less meatballs!!! 

we’re lucky they also have butchered their opps. but reckon we should be 3 goals up. 

Petty may have had a couple of clangers but he's well and truly back with those marks. Hard to stop with that timing.

What’s happened to our midfield?

I’ve been wondering for the last month. Something doesn’t smell right. 
 

Trac getting tagged every week, Viney out of form. Oliver back to the pack and we are not really better than the average midfield.

Trac needs to kick those 

If he could he would be weapon up fwd.

 Ugly footy.
The Melbourne way.


We have dominated inside 50 s now.

Need to score.

Come on Dees.


We don’t have enough dangerous players when the ball hits the ground i50. It’s Pickett or no-one at the moment.

This is a million times better moving forward. Be patient and present with good kickers entering f50.

  • 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?
