When Tassie comes in just give us the bye 🤣

I didn't take it that way at all, I thought he was intimating it may have been an anxiety/panic attack related incident, possibly contributed to by an earlier head knock. I saw a number of people say Montagna thought he may have been faking it but I don't believe that's what he was saying.

Agree 100% and his commentating Collingwood games is just as bad.

It was really bizarre, didn't notice any hits earlier in the game either but maybe he had a knock last week/at training that wasn't identified? Only seemed to bother him after that kick and he became light headed/weak legged.

Jimmy would be bloody proud ♥️💙☘️

Please, nothing in that at all

Great call, I thought he was far more involved today and not trying to take the entire game on by himself. Still made a couple of basic errors but made some smart, cool-headed decisions too not least of which was the centring kick to JVR in the last.

Unbelievable win from this never say die Demons side. I thought we would get taught a football lesson today but credit to the team they well and truly stood up to the task. Kade Chandler take a bow! BOG for mine, kicked 3 and I thought should have 2 others credited to him for the work he did upfield. Becoming an extremely reliable player, far more than I thought he was capable of.

Agree, way too tall with minimal groundball capability.

Hopefully we don't get smashed

What is most frustrating is how predictable it all was. TMac needs to go, leave Petty in defence and bring in Kentfield or Heath up forward. JVR was terrible again, has played half a good game in 5 weeks. Petty was poor though took a few decent contested marks in the 2nd half. Steele one of the few who stood up early but still had a few moments he'd like back, particularly that missed goal in the 3rd. Way too many passengers, Melksham, Windsor, Latrelle, Mihocek, Petty, JVR, Culley all 10 or less touches. Lindsay, Chandler, Langford, Fritsch largely ineffective though Fritsch and Langford did kick a ripper each. Tholsyeup was poor. Steele, Kozzie, Turner probably the only ones who can hold their heads up after that one. Max had some good periods and some poor as well, how many times did he win a clean tap and it went to an unmanned Bombers player? They just turned up thinking they'd win an easy one, they worked the Bombers over in the 2nd after getting caught off guard in the 1st and then thought the job was done and let the Bombers back in. 1 goal the difference at halftime meant the winless Dons could sniff a chance at a win and would be tough to beat after that. Big head syndrome, been a problem with the MFC for decades. They don't respect the opposition and think they can just turn up and bank the points. King will earn his pay this week, let's see how they respond against the back to back Lions.

We are a better side than Essendon, we lost this above the shoulders today.

Agreed although he has completely outcoached King today.

Wish I put more on them at $4.10 than I did, money for jam

Trying 🤣 they've been pathetic.

Rabble.

He's not alone though, Tholstrup, Culley, Sparrow, Latrelle, Windsor etc have hardly been sighted. Way too many passengers.

Petty and TMac have to go, JVR not far behind. But we've had no winners today, maybe Steele but he's had a couple of horror moments too.

Absolutely pathetic, still mentally soft.

I admit I thought he was another NQR but I've been impressed this year, he has really stepped up and become more consistent in his output. Add him to the list of players who we are getting the best out of atm (Sharp, Culley et al).

I think Tassie can sign one player from each club across two seasons (the year before and year of entry) so players contracted to end of 2027 or 2028. https://www.abc.net.au/news/2025-10-01/tasmania-devils-afl-draft-concessions-2028-team-announced/105838224

Add Windsor to the list as well I think?

I can't believe he's lasted this long.

His last two weeks have been great. If he can maintain that standard with Steele Kozzie and Max in the middle we will be a tough midfield to beat.
