Sparrow,  River's etc just [censored] their dacks when under pressure they cannot think it through.

Sparrow, Chandler & Petty should not be playing.

Assuming a second half the same as that first... i'd add Clarry to that but will wait to see if he can turn it around.

Viney has also been a long way off his best for whatever reason since the Crows game.

    Even if we get well on top and win most contests it wont result in goals because we butcher the ball. We get in open space, no pressure and cant take advantage. It's so frustrating to watch as a supporter.

    I'd play Trac out of the goal square and push the other forwards up the ground.

    Protects his body and back him to win it 1v1 deep.

    Seriously [censored] off and stop mentioning  binman every time the team is playing like [censored]. 
     

    We all support the same team, but that’s where a lot of our commonality ends. People who make comments like this are lacking cerebral power. Also that particular poster should be booted off the site entirely.

    We’ve gone All In on Contested ball with the end result usually being a stoppage in our over crowded forward 50, Goodwin has nothing else. That Tired and well exposed game plan won’t cut it anymore.

    Wasted opportunity to trade clarry & petty at the end of last year. The bold moves we needed to make to set this playing list up for years to come. Just like onfield, we’re WAY too safe off it aswell.

    Season and Window over I've given them enough chances to prove me wrong.

    I've seen enough, if you can't beat half a F'n VFL side then that's enough from me.

    Play the kids and start again.

     

    There aren’t that many kids to play. The list is looking bog ordinary.

    I don't blame Goody for ten players not laying a single tackle for a half.

    Just weak and heartless.

     

    You know that's normal, right?

    Sydney finished their win over Geelong with 5 players without a tackle, and another five with only one for the game.

    Hawthorn had 4 players with zero, and another 6 with just 1.

    Today's game has been flawed by missed shots on goal, defence pulled out of its comfort zone, a scattering of bad turnovers in bad places, some iffy umpiring as always and a star player hurt, but it has been a legit effort.

    Trac needs to go home to bed. He is playing probably with broken ribs and can’t move

    Better Dees! Just move the ball with intent.

    C’mon boys, you can do this

    I have never seen the coaches lock themselves away at half time for a meeting. Very weird.

    They're trying to work out how they can further destroy a premiership list by playing even more boring insipid football.

    Laurie and Chandler are second rate and Turner and Howes are not ready. More holes in our list than Swiss cheese 

    Our senior acquisitions have been ordinary since the 21 GF as well.

    Dunstan, Hunter, Billings all rubbish.

    Our list management has been millionaire stuff.

    Even the best teams replenish year on year with quality. Not us.

    Great work by Koz to get it to him too.

    Why were they both sitting on the bench last qtr?

    Clarry is giving away stupid free kicks out of sheer frustration.

    • CASEY: Northern Bullants

      The Casey Demons travelled to a windy Cramer Street, Preston yesterday and blew the Northern Bullants off the ground for three quarters before shutting up shop in the final term, coasting to a much-needed 71-point victory after leading by almost 15 goals at one stage. It was a pleasing performance that revived the Demons’ prospects for the 2025 season but, at the same time, very little can be taken from the game because of the weak opposition. These days, the Bullants are little more than road kill. The once proud club, situated behind the Preston Market in a now culturally diverse area, is currently facing significant financial and on-field challenges, having failed to secure a win to date in 2025.

    • GAMEDAY: Sydney

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons have a golden opportunity to build on last week’s stirring win by toppling Sydney at the MCG. A victory today would keep them firmly in the hunt for a finals spot and help them stay in touch with the pack chasing a place in the Top 8. Can the Dees make it two in a row and bring down the Swans?

    • NON-MFC: Round 11

      Round 11, the second week of The Sir Doug Nicholls Round, kicks off on Thursday night with the Cats hosting the Bulldogs at Kardinia Park. Geelong will be looking to to continue their decade long dominance over the Bulldogs, while the Dogs aim to take another big scalp as they surge up the ladder. On Friday night it's he Dreamtime at the 'G clash between Essendon and Richmond. The Bombers will want to avoid another embarrassing performance against a lowly side whilst the Tigers will be keen to avenge a disappointing loss to the Kangaroos. Saturday footy kicks off as the Blues face the Giants in a pivotal clash for both clubs. Carlton need to turn around their up and down season while GWS will be eager to bounce back and reassert themselves as a September threat. At twilight sees the Hawks taking on the Lions at the G. Hawthorn need to cement themselves in the Top 4 but they’ll need to be at their best to challenge a Brisbane side eager to respond after last week’s crushing loss to the Dees on their home turf. The first of the Saturday night double headers opens with North Melbourne up against the high-flying Magpies. The Roos will need a near-perfect performance to trouble a Collingwood side sitting atop the ladder.

    • 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.
