I'd bite through bullet now and bring him in for Spargo.

Thought the same, spargo seems nowhere today.

 

We’re in this. Boys are having a crack but so far it’s just that the Lions are a better skilled team. Simple as that. But they are not unbeatable. We can win this.

‘Just’ need to clean up our skills, make sure we take our chances and keep up the pressure until the very end. AND DO NOT THE LIONS GET ANY CHEAPIES.

Just that, and we could be a shot.

My only skill is ducking my head. I’m 4ft 8. Feel like we already have my type

Sam Mitchell will be in touch soon, keep an eye out

Can’t complain too much with the effort so far.

But this is the gameday thread so I need to let all the negativity out. The quicker we can replace Sharp and Spargo with proper AFL players the better. We are wasting Windsor down back who by the way has suddenly become a huge ball butcher. Get him playing in the right spot would be a start. May has been OK but what the hell was that effort on Gardiner?

I honestly like AJ. I’m sure his stats suck but he gives us something.

Just quietly Clarry is …. back?

I'm with you on AJ.

Give him a couple of games.

The desperation and physicality is there.

We're still in this and stopped the bleeding.

But as someone mentioned, we seem to work so hard for nil return kicking to 1 on 3 contests in our f50.

We're playing the boundary so much. It's incredibly frustrating and must be exhausting.

We've played a good team who use the corridor last week and a great team who use the corridor this week.

We need to be able to learn from them and cut them open same way.

Please make this the last time we see both Sharp and Spargo in the same team.

Both need to go.

Is Spargo playing on Zorko?

If he is, his first half is doubly pathetic.

7 possies with probably 6 turnovers.

Zorko has had 18 creative possessions.

Windsors pre season or lack thereof is behind his inconsistency but agree HB is not for him. I’m not really sure where he is best suited.

From memory he always had question marks on his kicking skills.

Well that would be the wing where he played some scintillating footy last season along with a number of fabulous goals on the run.

Not sure why we're playing him off HB. Another SG special

 


We were unlucky with that rebound. Should have been a deep 50 entry

Shocking HB attempt from Tracc

Done a few good things but offset by the bog ordinary

The Lions are SO confident we will turn it over that they're keeping one or two numbers ahead of the ball readying for the sling shot off of our regular turnovers and clangers in transition

What a terrible umpiring decision

Especially in front of goal.

This is like the Geelong game again. Uncontested marks killing us. Wtf are we training for???

Would help a lot if Pretty at least made an attempt to compete in a marking contest. 2 weak efforts so far this term

  • NON-MFC: Round 11

    Round 11, the second week of The Sir Doug Nicholls Round, kicks off on Thursday night with the Cats hosting the Bulldogs at Kardinia Park. Geelong will be looking to to continue their decade long dominance over the Bulldogs, while the Dogs aim to take another big scalp as they surge up the ladder. On Friday night it's he Dreamtime at the 'G clash between Essendon and Richmond. The Bombers will want to avoid another embarrassing performance against a lowly side whilst the Tigers will be keen to avenge a disappointing loss to the Kangaroos. Saturday footy kicks off as the Blues face the Giants in a pivotal clash for both clubs. Carlton need to turn around their up and down season while GWS will be eager to bounce back and reassert themselves as a September threat. At twilight sees the Hawks taking on the Lions at the G. Hawthorn need to cement themselves in the Top 4 but they’ll need to be at their best to challenge a Brisbane side eager to respond after last week’s crushing loss to the Dees on their home turf. The first of the Saturday night double headers opens with North Melbourne up against the high-flying Magpies. The Roos will need a near-perfect performance to trouble a Collingwood side sitting atop the ladder.

  • 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?
