Oliver needs to go for the ball & not be watching his opponent. If he gets it then he should try kicking it. No airy fairy handballs please.

    OK Petty back Tommy forward. Tom's a good baackman but Petty's a terrible forward.

    Take it back!

    IM O. Oliver firstly needs to enjoy his football.  If he does then the opposition best player will be tagging him. If he gets plenty of touches.  That’s just a bonus,  it’s not about this game. It’s about the rest of this year and next !

    Fritsch has Donuts thus far, perhaps try him on the wing for a bit.

    Getting smashed in the stoppages but been a while since we have kicked five in a first ( or other for that matter) so happy with the effort.

    he has forgotten how to play football

    To be fair has a hard tag by Philips, but Viney, Sparrow, Tholstrup and Rivers stepping up, Oliver might need to play decoy and wear it tonight.

    Has this ever happened? Very strange indeed and can't say I like it.

    Check out Caiden Cleary for the Swans tonight. Debutant as sub. I reckon Sydney are a reasonable yardstick as a club making good decisions. Correct call by our club.

    I am watching on my phone so it’s a bit hard to but I think we have been ok so far. JV attacking the ball much more like normal.

    Sparrow has been destroyed in the air and at stoppage multiple times. He needs to be a bull.

    Turner, Petty, Kossie and Chandler all kick goals and some folk are asking about Fritsch’s where abouts. 😂

    A 96 point win would be a great statement.

    Agree he is one of our better skilled players! 

    Good to hear the commentators calling out the ridiculous over-estimation of 50 metres.

    Anyone else sick of seeing lazy handballs that constantly turn it over.

    We our now masters of it

    Since we've come down a few pegs as a team, the few shining lights have shined all the brighter. Petracca before his injury for sure, but for me Max Gawn is far and away our best player at the moment.

    • 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?

      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.
