I don’t remember being as angry watching the footy as I watched the quarter. So May wasted opportunities and then that missed call 🤬🤬🤬🤬.

HOW THE HELL CAN ALL 4 UMPIRES MISS THAT TRIP!!! ABSOLUTELY PATHETIC.

Agreed

I can’t remember being this furious

You just know we’ll lose by a goal or two and we’ll be thinking of these ump decisions and missed shots

    What's done is done but we should be 4 goals up.

    Umpires what tha fug are you guys watching out there?

    Kozzie legged clear as fuggin day.

    Set shot kicking is killing us.

    The game is completely on our terms and we are failing to punish these social media, cuckold thriving pretenders.

    We have an absolute diamond in Harvey "Langers" Langford. God bless him.🙌

    Oh FFS. This is such a vacuous, superficial take.

    How so, we clearly have 3 tall fwds in fritsch, jvr and Jeffo that can’t hit the side of a barn door, and Jeffo and fritsch have offered 0 in any other regard, what was the thinking in going with the extra tall

    Edited by Garbo


    First half....The Hawks were ordinary but we were worse forward of centre.

    Bar Langers & Koz our kicking at goal would have to go down as some of the worst you could ever wish to see from any team to have ever played the game.

    First game I have seen us play for a while and apart from our kicking at goal we have been good. I really hope we win this.

    Adams for Jeffo = Turner forward

    Massive SC blunder

    After calming down a little…

    it’s great that we seem to be a competitive team again after that first month

    The only way it’s possible to get that Kozzie trip call so wrong is if the multiple umpires in the area weren’t watching the play. That’s just plain incompetence.

    Speaking of incompetence: how’s our goal kicking going? If we lose this match it will 100% be because of all the misses in Q2. I can’t see Hawthorn allowing the dominance we had in that quarter to continue, so we may pay very dearly.

    Isn’t that trip a reportable offence? Should get a week for that.

    Umpires every week are royally screwing us over. Every week .

    Possibly. It's certainly unsportsmanlike. Kos was running into an open goal and that was not a genuine attempt at a tackle.

    ✅️ Kolt on for Jeffo

    ✅️ Swap Turner & JVR

    Lol at the umpiring pathetic.

    We will win this still, flood gates will open

    You may miss the Kozzie trip but what about Sicily throw? Two obvious AF frees.

    Umpiring will define the result of this game - already has to a certain extent. Hawks have had two cheapies from frees that were not there.

    Don't Lol.
    Just might be true if we can keep him.

    Nothing but projection. Adams has never played an AFL game, instead of being a "solution" he could just as easily be out of his depth and put in a shocker.

    Should be leading, umpire missed trip & holding the ball

    Yeah you can blame that, but our kicking for goal has been woeful.

    Imagine that in the last quarter of a Grand Final.

    It absolutely is. He will be reported, and then fined I reckon. Which will be a gutless outcome.


    Can't see us winning this. No Viney, Melksham, Petty (or Turner) or at the other end, Lever is just a step too far. In an ideal world JVR would still be back in the VFL getting his game (back) together. As for Jefferson ... hard to see.

    Olivier looking a bit lost out there, he only knows one way to play.

    Inaccuracy not helping. Missed some very easy shots.

    I want the Kolt. How the hell is Sharp on instead of him?

    We're playing well but thank Christ for Koz and Harvey.

    Our forward line functions about as well as the jokes on bounce

    Official complaint needed to umpiring needed

    Green should beeline for media at end of game and make that case

    There is no excuse for that incompetance - none.

    Geez our kicking at goal is not acceptable. Allllllll the way back to the 2022 and 23 seasons especially 2023 finals

    Must be addressed

     

    Showing my age but I feel like I need to put on the

    Oliver lowered his eyes a couple of times which was good to see.

    Tracc is playing well but geez he's put some dump kicks down Sicily's throat

    • 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?
