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.

    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

    My goodness we make it easy for them.


    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

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

    • 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?
