Gawn - performed as expected 

Rivers - continued excellent form

Windsor - conditions suited perfunctorily 

vanRooyen - came of age

Salem - an important ingredient 

Langdon - running game returned 

McDonald - generally exudes reliability 

Chandler - found some form

Viney - great first half

McVee - smooth as silk

Tholstrup - energy and promise

Neal-Bullen - selfless tagging game

Moniz-Wakefield - disposal needs work

Fritsch - had more involvement 

May - reliable and impressive 

Pickett - exciting first half

Sparrow - had some moments 

Melksham - experience added dimension 

Lever - was rarely noticed

Bowey - didn’t show out

Oliver - often a liability 

Turner - had some moments 

Woewodin - had negligible impact

 

Question mark on May’s assessment. He wasn’t great and looks very stiff and sore. Very lucky to be playing on a player who was clearly injured (Waterman) who still ran him around and kicked a couple.

Sparrow offers nothing. 

I agree; May was often a metre or two behind.

 You are harsh on Oliver. He combined with the others to keep Reid to minor impact.

I want him to start running assertively with the ball when he gets it and put the defence on its heels.  I understand he is playing to instruction however too often he gets it and stops.  Its hard to offer damage when doing that constantly.  


Lever :Needs to contest marks, rather then talking about it.

TMac : Thank heavens !!!

Yes  (May) he was then he jumps up and takes a couple of impressive marks. With a pass to milkshake for a goal ( I think)

thought Clayton played within himself and his ability. But we won by 54 points. Round 10 they beat us by 35 points.
 

pretty good turnaround.  Go Dee’s 

 

joeboy - brevis  Sporting Globe

Ed Langdon - mojo magic working 

Caleb Windsor - get dictionary out?

Steven May - keep Petty campaign 

Tom McDonald - best tall defender

Kade Chandler - underrated defensive forward 

Taj Woewodin - 🎼 start me up

Looking forward to next Saturday night at the ‘G. Opening quarter was exemplary. Last quarter an incremental improvement.

Petty - Looked better without

Think we need Petty in the backline next week on 2 metre Peter.

Think we need Petty at Casey to find some form, Disco down back and JEFFO to debut!

Which forward are you dropping for Jeffo?

Chandler, to Sub, Jeffo to debut. Chandler has not hit the scoreboard anywhere near enough for a small forward!

Hard to kick goals from where he's playing. Screenshot_20240707_181051_AFL.thumb.jpg.7635cf835086b92d28e7f41ae511474c.jpg

A very good question. 


I thought Lever was pretty poor. He struggles big time when he’s one-on-one against a genuine tall.

That bodes well given his last one was called Milkshake

Mat is a metre or two behind every week these days.

If he wasn't so good he'd be finished. 

Old father time has brought a kit bag full of niggles

I have to agree, I think Mat was more than a meter behind his man. He must of been in the stands. I did not see Mat all game. 
 

Hands up all Demonlander’s named Mat who attended today. Get in front FFS 😳😳🤩🤩😆😆

 

Oh, you need a referral to the Physio too 😬😬

Great to give the Funk and Wagnall* some exercise.

With respect mate, you’ve been a tad obsessed with this Jeffo talk of late Picket. The kids finally finding his feet & starting to play some nice consistent footy. Why the rush? & especially how the forward line seems to be functioning the past couple weeks.

The only time is see Jeffo debuting is if & when we’re out of the finals race. & the longer he’s not in the one’s the better it would seem we’re going.

All things going well, he gets to build his case over a strong pre-season with a chance to impress for an early debut in 25’

Lever was absolutely terrible. I'm guessing he was directly responsible for about 8 shots on goal, mostly to Allen. He is tall, but he's not a genuine tall defender.

Funk and Wagnall was I believe made popular by frequent references in Rowan and Martin's Laugh In

Fair point but if Sparrow's career ends up being 50% that Melksham's I'll be rapt. I have my doubts.

  • 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?
