    Bit of heat has to come on Tim Lamb, done nothing for this list since winning a premiership three years ago. Amazing that midfield and ruck depth weren’t addressed in the off season

    I feel really sorry for our fans who actually paid good money to witness this debacle first hand.

    At least we can be comforted knowing that we're currently loading.

    Anyone in here who genuinely thinks we are a flag chance has rocks in their head. Been clear for quite some time. 

    Yeh.. there’s been excuses and reasons but it’s pretty clear we’re not good enough. Even good teams lose a game or two they shouldn’t, when you lose this many you just aren’t good

    Not sticking with Grundy and not giving it more time was perhaps the most short-sighted coaching decision I have ever seen this club make.

    We gifted him to Sydney who is now dominating and has an AA ruck for the next 4-5 seasons.

    Meanwhile we are plodding along with Petty as a backup ruckman, and we get absolutely spanked whenever a team has more than one big body.

    Anyone that didn't see the writing on the wall after the West Coast game is delusional.

    I’m booking a family overseas trip in September. So disappointed with my club!

     

    They are almost DOUBLE us in contested possessions

    Double

    pathetic gutless soft performance 


    Melbourne are pretenders, this is seriously pathetic. May struggle to make finals from here, 2021 was fun but this club just doesn't have the intestinal fortitude to dominate in this league

    Goodwin the tactical genius would rather loose the game than make adjustments on the fly

    Why won’t Melbourne make the perceived hard call and not play players who aren’t in form. Petty is currently useless. Hunter should not have come in the team when he did. Disco is not a forward. 
     

    Petty is a complete liability at the moment and should be back at Casey. Is the reason he is playing is so that we can keep his price tag high? It isn’t working.

    There’s literally no one who would do a better job. We have no forwards in the cupboard.

    It’s a training run for Freo atm.

    Seriously, when will Goodwin be held accountable? He’s got to go, along with several of our players.

    We need to start again with a full on re-build.

    What are our odds to miss the 8? Seems safe money 

    To win football games you need skill and to care, we have no skill and the players 

    All it them.  Do Not Care


    In the podcast, I do not want to hear about how other teams lose in upsets followed by the one time it happened to Collingwood last year.

    • 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?

    • POSTGAME: Brisbane

      The Demons pulled off an absolute miracle at the Gabba coming from 24 points down in the 2nd Quarter to overrun the reigning premiers the Brisbane Lions winning by 11 points and keeping their season well and truly alive.
