Really should have worked him into the Jackson trade a couple years ago. Perhaps we tried and were rebuffed. Think@Redleg was calling for it at the time.

We never asked.

    Has Luke Jackson won possession at all so far tonight? He's always buzzing around contests looking vaguely like he's doing something but never seems to actually impact the play.

    Was just about to say the same thing. 5 possessions half way through the second. Getting smashed when in the ruck. A much better player than that.

    Is it just me, or is Daicos going off because of an "injury" when his tagger is beating him a bit sus.

    Sadly that didn't age well.

    Still fairly pedestrian, but you are right 😎

    Granted his missed games due to suspension, but Houston is having a very ordinary year....

    Thankfully the POS isn't playing so I don't have to look at his ugly head.

    However Crisp is almost as bad.

    Dunno who the POS even is but Collingwood have no shortage of ugly mugs I'd rather not look at.
    Mason Cox at the top of the list.

    Longmuir has to be about on his last legs as coach of Freo, surely?

    With the list he has, they should be doing much better than their current output. Their game plan is worse than ours.

    Not too sure I’d be salivating over the prospect of bringing LJ back in a hurry either. Hasn’t done too much in his time over their and has stagnated badly, particularly for the $ he would be on.

    The Shockers are having a crack, but they are also hoping for something to happen rather than creating it

    Gosh freo are pathetic. Playing at home & can't even beat a Collingwood team that's resting a number of good players.

    If they were based in Melbourne, they'd be copping a lot more heat

    Yes, being very reactive and not proactive.

    The Pies work off the ball is off the charts. That’s why they’re in so many games.

    Good to see Freo have been closely copying the Mbourne strategy of bombing it mindlessly i50 to a opposition player.

    Imitation is the highest form of flattery!

    He seems to have plateaud since leaving us. And still rarely takes a clean one-grab mark

    • 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?
