I'm tired of being the Lions' bunnies. Dreaming of another 60+ win against them but more realistically hoping we win - even if only by a point.  Carn ya red legs!!  ❤💙

    It would be so good to knock these arrogant sun-soaked tools off at their dilapidated [censored]-heap of a ground.

    Belief and confidence… and lots of it.

    Will the Demon finally be awakened and the season get back on track or will they meekly be sacrificed like lambs to the slaughter?

    Unfortunately Melbourne coaches and recruiters didn’t understand the importance of having a deep midfield. 

    Brisbane have 10 players that are capable of playing on ball. Dees are lucky to have 5. 
     

    they will run rings around us by shear force of numbers. Unfortunately we are 3-4 midfielders off being a decent side 

    This will be a great challenge especially for the youngsters. Good luck to AMW.

    And I hope we win just to give a big F U to all the misery around here lately.

    Hear, Hear! I’m with you on this, Zephs!!!

    If we win, the big F U might have to wait since the mob of sad-arzes won’t be here coz, well…a win.

    If we win I’ll be the first in the postgame thread to celebrate 🎉

    If we lose, I’m gonna put a massive bunch of space between me and Demonland coz, well… a loss 😢

    GO DEES!!!!

    GIVE ‘EM HELL!

    ❤️💙

     

    Good luck, Monners! 🤞🏽 

     

    Well I'm not holding out any hope. 

    But for gods sake petty and fritsch do something tonight.

    Happy to see lever back though 

    I'm quietly confident we will lift to the occasion and win a hard fought, gritty and at times spiteful clash against a key rival which we will build on through to September. Bring our contest and pressure and we are a very difficult team to play against.

    Hoping to put in our best performance since the St Kilda game and keep the margin very respectable. A win is unlikely for a number of reasons.

    However, win next week and there’s a scenario or two that would have us in the 8 at the end of round 17, or at the very least on the borderline.

    Moving day. play well (win or close loss) and the commentary may lighten up on us a bit.  ( some here might lighten up on each other, too!(

    It’s the start of the ‘backend of the season’ stretch.  I think we have set ourselves for this one.

    Keys:  Match them in contest and clearance  = dont allow massive clearance goal scores like they did against Geelong.

              Contested in their 50 - slow their transitions and make joe the goose play outside of the 50 for his touches 

             Pressure over 190 all game

            Score at least 85 points.

    This is the start of the next phase of the season, AMW to get a look in as part of his development, not sure we can play as tall as listed (?Late change?)

     

    W .   Go Dees!

    Still not confident of a win, very much the other way. But Lever back in solidifies the backs a bit. I see Tmac giving Max. Rest swinging forward it back where needed. 
    so perhaps it will not be a 50 point loss, with the back line working.

    Monners in for pup   I am disappointed but if they knew it might happen, not concerned re development.

    our mids will need to work better. Rivers to stay, he looked a natural in that position. I hope Sparra can come good. Viney is doing too much. And max, hit it to our blokes. 
    our forwards is why I think we will lose ,  

    JvR to stay on the ground the whole game, fritta and petty do something.

    and Kossy cause mayhem just run anywhere and get clear. If no one else is contesting the mark. Go for it !

    Go Dee’s   35-40 pints I think.

    If nothing else, this year’s AFL competition has shown that anything can happen on any given day.  Maybe the ‘Footy Gods’ will be smiling on us for a change ……. after all, it must be our bloody turn!  Dees by 3 points.

    Do they think we are Nth Melbourne?  I hope someone shows the players that and asks them to show the footy world what they think of that level of disrespect.

    Perhaps Sparra to run with Zorko ?

    Chin with Ashcroft . 
    If Oliver tagged too heavily swap him with Kossy.    Is there a plan C or D ?

    Just have a crack lads.

    Imagine the minds blown if we can pull this off haha. Media wouldn’t know where to rate us anymore (to be fair I wouldn’t know either) 

     

    Fritta and Petty do something. Sparrows time to lift.

    I have the belief that the situation up in Brisbane is the same as in Port.

    Wasted great lists and home ground advantage for years, and the coach could be sacked soon due to lack of finals success. Although Fagan has more credit because at least they got to a GF unlike Port.

    I do hope we can contribute to that this week 🤞🏻.

    • 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?
