Clarry needs to be subbed off at half time -  his efforts are embarrassing….

    I'm sorry but poor Oliver is just lost out there.

    He had one touch that quarter and five for the whole game.

    Of those he's just turned it over.

    Almost feel he should be subbed off.

    We can't afford to carry these sort of games.

    I know he's been one of the greatest players ever for us but that makes it even more worrying.

    Oliver’s hand has to be the excuse . So if he cannot handball or tackle, then why is he out there? Seriously it is so glaringly obvious he does not belong in the starting line up.

    sub oliver off to give him a rest. they guy needs time to recover. At the moment he is a liability the way he is playing. our forwards need to do better, as does our delivery into the forward line. a lot of good play up fields is totally destroyed by our delivery into the forward line. and the umpiring has been pretty bad our players held, pushed in the back, they drop the ball everything going unnoticed by the umpires. really the AFL needs to do something about that.

     

    Oliver playing like trash.

    Sub him out.

    Just nicked out the shed for a dart.
    Radio on and hear the commentators.
    "Bit of a nothing game ATM"
    "Yeah, hasn't reached any great heights."

    This is my issue with Goodwin.
    Our games never do.
    Dour, rugby scrum.

    Effort fantastic. Kossie one on one will beat anyone. Great to be here on a beautiful night.

    Love Oliver to be subbed, but if Marshall is out, we are very tall down back

    It always feels like Port spear their kicks and we're just up and under kings.

    Exactly. Up and under kings … jv7, Salem, Billings, Clarry… all like 9 iron chip kicks versus Houston, Bergman, Horne-Francis darts !!!

    Petty's been good. Turner too.

    Jvr bern struggling of late but he gives his all. 

    Our delivery fwd hasn't been quick like Ports.

    And to be fair , Port have flooded our fwd line quick smart all night.

    Surely it's not still his hand. Don't know what it is. You'd think instinct would kick in.How can you go from being the best player in the league to being a passenger 

    Get Melky on. Even Jeffo would have got his hands on some of those balls coming in. And Blake Howes is a complete waste of space down back.

    His hands just aren’t that good, just not a one grabber


    Where has that forward half pressure been in the last 6 weeks?

    Really sick and tired with all and sundry, commentators included, slagging the champion that is Clayton Oliver. Issues well documented and 14 pins in his hand and still our highest possession gatherer for the season. He'll be back bigger and better than ever. Champions are rare. Give him the respect he deserves. 

    Absolutely agree!

    Glad our match day entertainment has succumb to the stupid visuals of people in the crowd

    Came to say the same. He tried making himself throw up with the doctor standing next to him. 

     

    Really liking what I've seen today.

    Nothing perfect or flashy but highly contested and every player giving a lot of effort.

    This is what we need to see for the rest of the season.

    • 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?
