Does anyone else want a 100 point loss so something can change? 

Doesn’t matter how big the margin is, the change won’t come

    UOf course amiss doesn't miss against us. This is going to be a percentage killer, a top 4 killer & maybe a top8 killer

    At this point I am seriously considering missing top 8 may be the best for this team.

    New ideas are needed to keep pushing the side forward.  Yze bought in new ideas that had impact and success.  His replacement doesn't seem to had the same impact.  We need to go and find a high quality senior assistant to chalkenge replace Goodwin and push the team.

    Getting smashed and people are blaming the umpires? Come on. 
    First to the ball = first to the free. 

    No one is blaming the umpires for us getting done. That's on you.

    But are we not allowed to comment on the standard of umpiring?

    It's the game day thread, FCS

    Not thinking I'll need to WANT it.....

    Not something I didn’t consider.. but prob don’t need 100pt to ruin confidence entirely but hey — modern footy is week-by-week proposition that’s for dang sure

    Whilst not blaming this pathetic performance on the Umpires, aren’t people allowed to comment on poor decisions ?

    While simultaneously kicking one goal a quarter.

    Glad I turned it off

    Is Simon still there ?  ..  asking for a friend 

    Any chance we could turn up to a game with the mindset of putting immense pressure on the opponent?

    Keen to see how many derogatory descriptors he can find.

    Frees 4 - 12 not one HTB

    I wouldn’t be looking to the free kick count as a reason for the scoreline… we are playing rubbish footy, the likes of which I haven’t seen since the Mark Neeld days.

    Can we still sack him despite having extended his contract last year?

    Definitely pre Paul Roos era, so 2013.

    Are our players just content to be on an AFL list? 

    Said it before and will say it again, we arent that good.

    We arent a big club.

    And this sort of stuff affects membership too.

    What a shame.

     

    Freo player drops ball instead of returning to Windsor who won the free. No fifty called. More [censored] umpiring

    The funny thing is, it’s change we’re trying — we could go back to 22-23 Brand in no time but WHY? Do what you’ve always done and you’ll get same result.. 

     

    how can no one else see this IS trying to change????? Goodness me.. I’d rather we don’t change and just kicked straighter (ly) but I also see we can’t keep getting to finals, dominating i50 and LOSING!!! We lost 4/4 finals — We have to try and transition our game and we will, it’s a bump in the road, just hope for no injuries & put it behind us!

    Like what?

    This team is done and dusted.

    Mentally lazy.

    It reeks of .." but we have won a flag."

    Us supporters deserve better than this.

    Shame on these players.

    Shame on the coaches.

    I feel sorry for those fans that spent their hard earned going to NT for this game.

    And why exactly are we playing in Nt to start with?

    Like we haven't travelled enough this year.

    We are still on time to try and do a mini rebuild. Starting with the coaching staff.

    I think some peeps have been a bit spoiled.. I wish I could make it so that when you jump-off this quickly you can’t enjoy the high-rides but I know where you’re coming from and would’ve once felt similar but this is a perfect day for a team that’s choc-full of confidence and we’re barely there! Maybe this is a butt-smashing we need?
     

     No reason it can’t be.. I choose to keep faith, everything’s going right for them and it’s evident they’re chasing in. I can’t smash a team that’s given me so much resounding reasons to trust them.. I mean look at that Serong Goal for goodness sake off back if DARCY lucky goal and Frederick boundary goal, that’s just bananas & good on em!

    We’ll bounce back next week.. you don’t lose ability overnight for goodness sake! 
     

    Harden up ppl, it’s a crappy day — move fwd.  

     

    I suppose for some it's the same it's as being a Trump supporter stuck in a bubble.

    the fact our second best defender is probably also our best forward genuinely makes me laugh.

    • 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?
