Really not looking forward to the pies game next week now. They’re missing half their list and we’re gonna let them walk all over us going off today’s performance. Sickening..

    The whole club needs a serious shake up.

    We need a very big re-build, players not willing to stick around for it can go elsewhere. As much as I love Max, his time as captain needs to come to an end. 

    We need new leadership. From the Pres & CEO, to the coach captain and players.

    Worst first half since 2018 prelim. 3rd grossly uncompetitive display this season. WTF is going on?

    They have lost their passion and now skills.

    No hunger.

    Two Freo players hold the ball and effectively tackle each other Nibbles tackles them. No holding the ball. WTF???

    What hope have you got when we do not have a forward. Fritta runs away from the ball. Would not have a bruise on him. Turner hasn't touched it but has a goal. For Freo. Petty is ordinary at moment. McAdam. Is he playing. Then you throw in our skill level by Rivers, Sparrow and Salem and lack of endeavor from Windsor and Huinter all adds up to us being a middle-ranged side. Long season ahead demonlanders.

    Heads will roll for this performance. Something is seriously wrong with this club. West coast, now this. Need to step back and rethink the list

    Maybe not the list per se 🤔

    I don't mean to be alarmist, but put a fork in us WE ARE DONE!

    Playing 20 v 23, nothing in the cupboard. Hunter, McAdam, Petty, miles off the level.  

    Can't kick, can't run, can't mark. 

    AMW must play for the next month at least to see if there's something there.

    Have you watched Casey lately.

    We lost to Coburg yesterday... a team that is winless this year and has maybe won five games in the last three years

    Down 28 in contested possessions. Back to the days of being non competitive. Horrible.

    Is this called zone defence or no defence? Why are all of our players 20-40 metres away from their players who can then play kick to kick at will????? This is the worst performance since the Neeld era. Skills totally lacking. Jogging around, half trying. An absolute thrashing by a second rate team. 

    I think I might petition to have no Binman on the pod this week because I just can’t put up with 2 hours of this isn’t our midfield’s fault.

    This is coach-killing stuff.

    Or is it killing-coach stuff ?? 

    Look at the players on our list .

    There are so many we don't play.

    Not saying we should but why are we paying them?

    Got to be the weakest, most embarrassing, gutless and shameful half of football I’ve seen from this team. The players and coaches should be ashamed of themselves. 
    Haha hoping for a better second half!

    Mini rebuild required at the club. We're not contending this year with this list and this game style. We've lost whatever identity and brand we had, and the players have gone into preservation mode as a result. The next wave coming through in Sparrow, Bowey etc have not come on, and as the old core is now on the slide, there's no one picking up the slack to make us competitive.

    It's sad that Gawn and May will retire in the coming years battling away in an uncompetitive team.

    Since the missed HTB 15 metres out for ANB in the 1st, momentum changed, and have turned to 💩looks a training drill out there.

    Agree. Heads should have rolled after eagles disaster.

    But we don't have the players.

    The question is why?

     

     

    Worst half of footy since the 2020 Cairns game against Sydney. If you want to count that game. Maybe the worst since the 2018 prelim.

    Sadly this team ain’t it. Oliver is doing well just to be playing, but his lack of preparation is starting to show. Just a player at the moment, no star. Petracca can’t do it all. Viney is getting on. Windsor needs a rest. Then we have Petty and Turner as our “twin towers”. lol. Disappointing because all it takes is Sydney to be a little bit off one night in September and it’s anyone else’s flag this year. But we are playing like porridge too often. Brisbane was a disaster, West Coast did it too easy, and now this?!? 

    We should only really be 4 goals down though. Nice mark Amiss lol. [censored] off 22 and friends.

    This is a coaching problem imo. New game style doesn't suit our team. It's too easy to play against.
    How can professional coaches not see this?
    3 goals in a half, in perfect conditions. 16 scoring shots to 6!!
    It's not working!!!!

    • 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?
