Need to get as many games into kids as possible.

Need to look for a coach with an attacking mindset.

Need to make some hard decisions. Kozzie, Clary and Petracca need to be turned into multiple first round picks, shame the bombers will get Pick 1 this year

Langford should be permanently in the middle for the rest of the year hes got something about him

    You had Djokovic just break his own record by reaching the most Masters 1000 finals in Miami (60), so we can legitimately shake our own 186 record next week considering how insipid and spineless this team is.

    This isn’t even anywhere near rock bottom.

    Lindsay (a rare shining light) injured, and humiliated by a mid-tier team on our home deck in our ‘response’ game.

    We’re an unskilled, uninspired rabble playing boring, lifeless footy.

    Anyone have any positives to share ??

    Please?🙏

    This was evident from last week. You can play and lose by trying then there is last week and this weeks performance.

    Long season ahead. Worst part is Dons hold our first pick. They are truly laughing at us right now.

    We are the whipping club of the AFL once again.

    Just a filthy display by a rudderless team with zero confidence.

    Why would Trac even want to stay?

    Majority of the team phoning in a performance in front of a ~20k crowd when he could be on the big stage.

    Who could blame him.

    Essendon will get a good pick out of us come the end of the year.

    We need answers by the coach and president. This is substandard.

    Total dumpster fire. No composure, no chemistry, no system, no connection. It's been a long time since I've seen us look this flat and miserable on the field.

    What worries me is that multiple players are going backwards really quickly. Fritsch looks lost, Rivers is totally devoid of confidence, and JVR has completely forgotten how to lead.

    I didn't think things could get much worse than last week but here we are.

    We’re cooked. Well and truly.

    Expected a response. That was not acceptable

    It’s going to be a long season

    The only positive that can come from this game is hoping that Lindsay hasn't done his ACL.

    Truly dire performance that rivals anything from the Neeld era.

    He doesn't mind taking a million from the club though. What a spineless way to give up on the club that made you the star you are.

    • PREVIEW: Sydney

      The two teams competing at the MCG on Sunday afternoon have each traversed a long and arduous path since their previous encounter on a sweltering March evening in Sydney a season and a half ago. Both experienced periods of success at various times last year. The Demons ran out of steam in midseason while the Swans went on to narrowly miss the ultimate prize in the sport. Now, they find themselves outside of finals contention as the season approaches the halfway mark. The winner this week will remain in contact with the leading pack, while the loser may well find itself on a precipice, staring into the abyss. The current season has presented numerous challenges for most clubs, particularly those positioned in the middle tier. The Essendon experience in suffering a significant 91-point loss to the Bulldogs, just one week after defeating the Swans, may not be typical, but it illustrates the unpredictability of outcomes under the league’s present set up.

    • 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?

      The Demons pulled off an absolute miracle at the Gabba coming from 24 points down in the 2nd Quarter to overrun the reigning premiers the Brisbane Lions winning by 11 points and keeping their season well and truly alive.
