    Can’t see how selling this game compensates from potentially missing a top 4 position.

    They’ve beaten us consistently at the MCG. The ground is not the issue.

    Love Kozzies effort but he really needs to work on his disposal.

    And some think he is elite with disposal.

     

    Oliver with five touches.

    No problem with our midfield.

    Some things just are in football with no need for learning a system.

    A 5kg dumbbell is a 5kg dumbbell, a short handball is a short handball, a 35 metre set shot...

    Mc Adam has done about as much as Fullarton this year. 🙄

    Watch this now become a slog and arm wrestle where we just let the game drift away.

    Why not be proactive for a change, and simply attack……………you know, like we used to do when we were good?

    No. An arm wrestle involves two competitors. 

    We are such a slow team and every other side knows it, if they just come out hard we can’t keep up. We are betting everything on been close enough in the 2nd half to make it a game

    Whatever Goodwin and his coaching team are trying to do this year they need to go back to basics. We are so out of sync and just average. There's no identity to what we're doing.

    We're not even at half time yet and the week's footy shows already have an entire week's worth of content to talk about. This isn't just a player issue. This is a comprehensive structural breakdown.


    This game from us reminds me of the expression...

    Bruise free football.

    Not according to our pres who would sign Goodwin to a 10-year extension if she could.

    Unless and until we find a forward coach with forward experience and forward nous we will not be true contenders.   
     

    Enough is enough. 

     

    These umpires are terribly inconsistent. Pay a free to freo then 30 secs later ignore a dees free. FMS

    we have no offensive system at all and the amount of lazy, long bomb kicks is embarrassing, we would do 10-15 for every 1 that Freo do and it's really showing

    • 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?
