Turner has been an absolute deadeye for goal, but his biggest issue has been positioning I feel.

Seems he's getting the hang of it now!

    May is home too. I don’t know that we need to read too much into it. 
    But really good to see Clarry there! 

    Trac was busy having coffee with Lachie Neale this morning, according to the Herald Sun.

    After all the negative stuff this last month a win like this gives you hope for the future no matter what happens now

    Screw draft picks

    Culture and a winning mentality far more important

    Surely we have learnt this lesson the hard way by now

    Good. Neale wanted out of Brisbane too. Maybe they’re chatting about how to mend bridges.

    A player who wanted to move, was held to a contract and is now happy at his a club?

    Or did Trac really like Noosa

    Goodbye pick 5

    Hello pick 10?

    Goodbye "Dean Bailey era playing for draft picks" mentality.

    Hello "next Flag tilt"

    I hope not.

    I guess with Gus gone.

    Anb possibly leaving.

    Tracca injured.

    Oliver too...

    The club doesn't seem so tight knit.

    Hopefully it's still woven deep and we lose nobody.

    Wins like this certainly help.

    Gawn spoke wonderfully yet again. Great captain and leader. To me today was a performance of united group, no fractures.
     

    Can’t say how I feel about Trac though. Can’t see him with the team in the rooms. Oliver is there, Spargs is there.

    Where are you Trac?

     

    I suspect medical advice would be that he still should not fly

    Alex was massive in the midield the further the game went on.

    Fabulous that he got his wish to sing the song 🎶

     🤞 there is a repeat next week!

    Please next year, loosen the obsession with “Contest & Defence” just a little bit!! Half a turn… and let the Boys play with some dare. 
    Scoring is just as important as defending…

    Doubtful unless he walked to Noosa 

    Sometimes space is a good thing.

    We are going to have some genuine competition for tall forward spots next year.

    JVR and Turner have to be locks for mine.

    I'd love Petty to play back, but where does TMac play? May and Lever are locks at the back.

    I'm so excited by Turner and have been most of this year. He's quick, he attacks contests in the air, and he's a good kick.

    He still fades in and out of games, but that's natural at his age and level of experience. 

    Jack Viney, Max Gawn, Alex Neal-Bullen and Ed Langdon were incredible today. Possibly the best game Jack has played. Absolutely bossed it.

    Jack Viney was asked about his future with the Demons when interviewed on ground after game and didn’t deny about whether he was leaving or not, just said let’s get through this and we’ll sort that stuff out at and of year, honestly think he’s thinking about going to North, they’re trying for Ollie Wines too. His old man is there and his childhood mate could be there too, don’t be surprised if he leaves at end of year!!

    Amazing how winning the centre clearances makes a difference @Binmans PA.

    Yeah, I see a forward line of JVR, Fritsch, Turner and Jefferson. Petty May and Lever down back. I am a huge fan of TMac, but can't see him in the 22 next year (having sad that, he keeps surprising me).

    Like you, Turner looks on the edge of busting the game apart.

    • 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?
