Season over for Freo, Pies resting quality players and still running rings around the opposition and here we are struggling to run out games and trying to learn a new game plan which has been around for years.

    The AFL being such an imagine conscious organisation, and one that is worried about a concussion class action, I bet they bring in some type of rule to stop players trying to run off the ground like Schultz did then. It wasn’t a good look.

    and given their propensity to suspend for outcome is the Freo player a chance of being suspended? And I’m saying this not because I think it worthy of suspension but who can tell what the MRO will do

    Heresy to admit this on Demonland but Collingwood are up to their necks in the premiership race. Elliott and Hill are arguably the best small forward combo in the competition.

    Kozzie do you really want to consider walking into this club called Fraudmantle?

    Think long and hard as Jacko is now!

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

    and their precision field kicking to each other

    If Archer is suspended for 3 weeks then (Clarke was it?) also needs to go. He didn’t have to jump into Shultz.

    And I also am not saying it should be a suspension, but if players have to take ‘reasonable care’ then he has to be gone.

    No suspension. Both players were committed

    So much for my tip for Freo at home after the Pies outs. Freo Coach will be front and back page all week...

    Yeah, in Freo.
    The rest of the country doesn't care.

    • 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?
