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

You know how it works here!

It is..... but it's definitely not going to happen tonight or again this year.

We are done.

Maybe twelwth spot finish this year.

No more straight sets rubbish I suppose.

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

To be fair while the umpires are horrible, we are losing because we are completely terrible and being dominated all over the ground.

    Our recruiting since 2022 has been putrid.

    McAdam not even ready for VFL.

    Hunter is a semi retired player.

    I hope we don't screw it this year or we'll be in a world of pain for a long time.

    Oh right, TMAC forward now.

    Tanking lite?

    Goodwin clutching at straws.

    Third quarter with the season on the line - right on schedule.

    My poor son traveled 800 ks for his first game tonight.

    Thank you Mfc for turning him off footy.

    Or maybe into a dogs supporter.

    Thank you for calling it out.

    I'd add Billings to that.

    Done well with some youngsters but those others were way off.

    Did TMac just [censored] up Viney’s goal?

    No one is denying that we have played terribly or that the umpires performance is any better

    McDonald forward is the right move. Provides mobility that none of the others do, and we were getting nothing from Petty - who would be better down back in the absence of may.

    Aaah Max, you kick one of those 60m goals once a year.

    About one in ten attempts

    Let's try one game not blaming the umpires. 

    There hasn't been one game in the last month where they truly cost us the game. If we, a list with several premiership players need a good rub to be in a game then I suggest you go and support swimming or a sport without umpires.

    Sadly only the kids drafted have been a net positive.

    There needs to be a lot of changes in the off season starting with assistant coaches.

    I have said it before, his failures in 2019 and 2020 after making it to a PF were telling.

    2021 we had the perfect season, including injuries.

    0-4 in finals since the premiership.

    All those finals played at the MCG.

    Goodwin's credit is well spent IMV.

    Sums up his performances  minus since 21 have been poor … not sure what strategy is & confusing 1 over 2 or 1 ruck & our mids getting smashed , failed to trade any decent marquee player of any position ..  needs to be moved on

    I was thinking the same. Then remembered that there’s no way I can support an organisation that allows males to fight females. It’s appalling and truly disgusting.

    I was done after the depraved opening ceremony.

    Petty with Disco forward.

    TMAC was competing harder than anyone else down back.

    • 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?
