Mate you didn't even watch or listen to the game going by your earlier posts. Just looking at the disposal count at the end of a game doesn't tell you anything. 1st half Bruce's first 5 handballs missed targets resulting in turnovers or stopping our forward thrust. He improved 2nd half but would not say he was anywhere near the best players.

Yes Bate played very well.

Great team effort from the mighty Dees and great footy to watch.

Bate played better than well, especially in the first half where he directed our midfield ball going forward, spotting up numerous forward targets lace out. Think back, (all you guys), to the first & 2nd Qtrs, where he received or won the ball in the Mid zone And turned us into attack, he straightened our small forward structure with his great use by foot, hitting targets almost every time.

No doubt... Bate was sensational... all those advising he was working into match fitness/ form were spot on....looked fantastic and really gave us some spine through CHF

Watching the game on Foxtel here in WA I was so proud to hear the commentators full of praise for us. Tony Shaw was loving us, Alistair Lynch less so because of his Brisbane allegiance. We are an excitement machine!

I think Tony Shaw had covered the commentary box with his own DNA he was that excited!

Talk about pumping us up!

He's given it to us when we were down, so at least he is squaring up now we are on the up.

FYI Ladies and Gents,

Bail missed because of a corked thigh that didn't come up. Apparently some heavy bruising and bleeding. Hopefully right for next week - who misses out though?

I would reverse it again, Martin out Bail in... Also, Jack Watts would have played his allotted 3 games for Casey. PLEASE can he play against Kangas next week. FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, PLEASE.

Morton 2 weeks :)

who will miss out :blink:

PS - didnt realsie forgot how hard it was to find your car at the G at night.

When is the last time we had two big wins "50 point" in a row

1998 apparently, was the last time we had three good wins in a row, according to the foxtel commentators after the match !!

That was BEAUTIFUL!

Hands down the best win we've had since 2006, and our highest ladder position since 2006 as well.

As I said last week, the tide has turned and we are finally on our way. Never in my life have I been more confident of success than I am right now.

GO DEES!!! :)

My young bloke reckons tonight "...is just like the olden days..." 2006 in his case.

The roar with each goal, the singing and the elation.....it has been a while but I'm looking forward to my first opportunity to watch the Dees win a flag....with my son. We've got years of good times in front of us

Just saw a few highlights on the news. I was thrilled to see footage of Brown on a long lead. Frawley overhauled him, got to the ball first and easily punched it out of bounds. Another play and Frawley outmuscles him to take a nice mark. Have to love a guy who is that fast and still strong enough to push Brown off the ball like that.

What a great night and a great win. So much to love - 4 great quarters of hard running, tough tackling and good-looking footy. Can't believe I'm saying this about the Demons! Our depth seems so much better now - e.g. Junior goes off and Jeordie comes on to do just as good a job. Love how Scully straigthens us up - I saw him have the option to go out wide to the wing to two free players, but instead took off through the center square and deliver beautifully inside 50. We looked stronger than them all over the ground for 4 quarters. Best for years.

JONESY's GOAL...How Good was it....As Good as the Captains Goal in the Last Quarter-we had to get that first goal of the Last Q.

So proud to be there tonight. Belief is an amazing thing when the whole team feels it.

Can we get a win away from the MCG? Dean's next test.

Go You Mighty DEMONS :)

I agree, I could not believe my eyes tonight, there were just white hot. Was expecting the boys to go hard, but was not expecting this. Fantastic win :lol:

He Is Not ready yet. Let us not crucify the Kid by playing him before he's ready to fly.

He's gunna be a good'un, but he needs a little quiet time, with us punters Not expecting Big things from him strait off the Bat...

When the MIDS, start to Constantly bring the ball forward more precisely,,, That should be about the right time to elevate the Kid.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 17 vs West Coast

    It’s game day and the Demons return to Melbourne to play the Eagles at the MCG for the first time in over a decade. A win keeps the Dees finals hopes alive whereas a loss will almost certainly slam the finals window shut.

    CROSSROADS by The Oracle

    Melbourne stands at the crossroads.  Sunday’s game against the West Coast Eagles who have not met the Demons at the MCG in more than ten years, is a make or break for the club’s finals aspirations.  That proposition is self-evident since every other team the club will be opposed to over the next eight weeks of footy is a prospective 2024 finalist. To add to this perspective is the fact that while the Demons are now in twelfth position on the AFL table, they are only a game and a half b

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    The Demons once again went goalless in the last quarter and were run down by the Lions at the Gabba in the final minutes of the match ultimately losing the game by 5 points as their percentage dips below 100 for the first time since 2020.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Brisbane

    It's Game Day and the Dees are deep in the heart of enemy territory as they take on the Lions in Brisbane under the Friday Night Lights at the Gabba. Will the Demon finally be awakened and the season get back on track or will they meekly be sacrificed like lambs to the slaughter?
