 He was tagged by 29.  Who had hardly any of it himself

A player so incredible he’s been in the papers all week looking for a trade, with everyone wondering how the hell he’s going to get a game somewhere else when he can barely get one for north

    For those bagging Oliver, watch the reply. No, he is not at his best and it wasn't great by him, but he was held, scragged, pushed away from the contest by players facing away from the play, and huge Xerri was sometimes the 2nd player in on top of him.

    Don't blame the umpires, we were garbage in that last quarter. Look within

    May was a match winner. Larkey is a star and was invisible.  Most important player in the team . Rising 33 and he is irreplaceable. Champion.

    He was very good but also seems down on confidence and form. Just going through the motions.

    Take the four points, because we won’t be getting many more this season. But jeez… we suck. 

    Maybe West Coast?

    One more surprise win potentially, but no more than 8 more points.

    Ladder predictor has us at 12th.

    Meh.

    We are an absolute shadow of our former self and its a sad state of affairs watching perform the way that we did.

    I'm scared for next week.

    Tholstrup good early before fading

    Rivers needs to be into the midfield permanently

    Tholstrup playing his second game really showed a bit. Thought Rivers also lifted his work rate and played very well.

    Not the disaster so many are wanting to paint it as.

    Yep he would have been had Gus not been retired and Oliver would have played 8-10 games at Casey too.

    On the TV it looked like it, maybe the MCC had the majority of our supporters. On the AFL members side it did look like dominated by North supporters.

    At the ground we outnumbered them 3 to 1, if not more.

    I can’t handle people saying ‘on the TV’ and then having a crack at our supporters. The MCG is open to all.

    I can only imagine the Collingwood fans last week. reigning premiers and only won by 1 point

    Assume they didn’t celebrate or sing the song?

    Our fans are a bunch of sooks.

    Don't know what was worse, England's performance after Kane's goal or us after half time.

    There are many parallels to draw between England FC and the Dees. Fantastic list on paper, but no rhythm and seem to play weighed down under a cloud of expectation.

    All we had to was win by 2 goals to cement a place in the 8, but not to be.

    On the positive we almost went 3 entire quarters without kicking a behind.

    Garbage final quarter. 

    Potentially our last win for the year.

    Slow, unfit, average skills, no discernable method or team rules, no midfield depth.

    What a shambles.

    Goodwin probably happy with himself after that win.

    Sure, umps had a few howlers but not scoring at all in a final quarter is pathetic.

    I am gobsmacked by that. Scoreless in the last quarter. Holding the ball whenever we had it on the wing and letting them flood.

    We have zero confidence. Zero synergy. No structure. 

    We are poorly coached and playing like huge plodders. We are bottom 4 the way we are playing.

    We’re playing a host of under 22’s, have Oliver hugely out of form and Petracca out. I think we’ll finish bottom 6 but your post is over the top. Currently we aren’t that good but there’s talent on the field.

    We are not the team we were. Clearly. 

    A third of our team are kids. We doesn’t deserve to be favourites against any expect the bottom few. 

    Lets develop the kids, try to lay down a decent game plan and plan for the future

    28,000 people. Outnumbered by the 18th team and a minnow of the competition. 

    Our supporters drop their bundle very, very quickly.

    And yes, we played some very ordinary football, but are you a supporter or not?

    Another ugly, North supporters were incredibly loud at the ground where as we heard crickets from our fans.

    Ouch.

    Free kicks were 24 to 27. Had nothing to do with how we capitulated in that last quarter. You can blame the coach and team trying to protect the lead. Pathetic 

    I've seen plenty of games where I thought the umpires were trying to get a side over the line , but I don't think I've ever seen anything as blatant as tonight

    • 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.
