What was with JVR goal not allowed. At the ground and no idea why the review said it hit the post?

    Why on earth was Disco subbed in and put in the backline.

    Goody is doing my head in

    Yep I was dumbfounded when I saw TMAc fwd. Make it make sense.

    Just more AFL HQ manipulation.

    5 day breaks only affect us it seems.

    Oh right, TMAC forward now.

    Tanking lite?

    Going by his goal kicking, possibly 😂

    Though his kick was a bit poor, barely made the distance.

    It didn’t look like it in the telly. And no one is questioning it. 


    Daylight between the post and the goal, but no disallow the goal. 
     

    The arc is the most corrupt display of bias I’ve ever seen.

    Maybe the dogs will get tired given they are coming off a 5 day break? Kind of like we do after a 5 day break? It’s about our only chance to steal a 5 goal loss here. 

    Are we going to do our usual thing and come back in the last to lose by less than a kick, and then claim it to be an honorable loss? That practice is a load of bollocks

    So we dominated clearances this quarter without Clarry or Viney doing anything. Interesting.

    Classic Goodwin.

    Try to cobble together some left field strategy with the season on the line.

    Did the same thing last year putting Petty forward in the dying quarter.

    Why is TMac playing forward? He has openly stated his previous injuries have resulted in him being unable to play forward, and the club have told him as much. He was nearly delisted as a result. How is this suddenly not an issue in the middle of a game? This club and coaching staff is a joke, honestly.

    Also, consider the Melksham experiment over. Might as well just retire tomorrow.

    Terrible quarter from the first minute to the last. We have maybe three players who want to be there, the rest are clearly looking forward to going on holidays.

    We are shameful 

    As bad as the umps have been ...yep..we have been five times worse.

    We have no midfield 

     

    It helps when you do.

    Remember when we played this mob in a gf three years ago?

    Seems like a decade and yet a lot of them are still out there getting pantsed.

    Make no mistake the score line doesn't count.

    We have been absolutely put to the sword tonight.

    This year.

     

    I’m not even angry anymore. 
     

    We are literally rock bottom. No fight, no class , nothing. We are fast becoming a joke and irrelevant.

    Disco and Petty back now and Tmac has gone forward. Probably because he was getting too close to punching an umpire in the head. 

    I’ve never seen him so angry. Can’t blame him. I would be suspended for life if I had been out there tonight.

    we are lucky to be as close as we are their kicking has been almost as bad as our team is playing. lack of chasing and tackling is poor. same old same old. not manning up, too many opposition players running free. where is that team that won a grand final, is there any semblance of that team left. very disappointed in the way we have crumbled since winning the flag. our window of opportunity is closing again.

    Just not good enough this year.

    Too many have gone past us.

    I fear we will need a helluva lot to go right to even make the 8 next year.

    • 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?
