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!

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 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.

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.

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 !!

[Jaded No More 68,976]

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!!!

[Wadda We Sing 10,685]

We stepped up two notcbes tonight from the side that beat Adelaide and Richmond.

We got a glimpse of the future tonight!

Enjoy it!

Oh we are Rhino we are !!

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

[Wadda We Sing 10,685]

Yeah my old man is in his eighties and recovering from several ops...we are hoping for 1 more...or in my case 1.

[RalphiusMaximus 6,112]

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.

Lets hope this win will bring in more memberships... And a few more to renew from last season.

[Wadda We Sing 10,685]

Gee the lions % took a bit of a dive 111.55...the worst in the eight !!

[TopCorner 103]

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.

GO THE MIGHTY DEES! So proud of the boys, we didn't just beat a good team, we SMASHED them! =)

[Wadda We Sing 10,685]

And Geelong will smash the BOOs on monday & we will remain in the 8 OH bliisss...must text a few Carlton supporters 2 remind them...

[Sir Why You Little 37,478]

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

On a side note, anyone think Miller would be feeling the pressure??

Unlikely he will don the red n blue ever again!

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.

[Felix 92]

11 goal kickers FTW.

Loved McKenzie & Jones goals, with special mention to Scully.

Yep, well said. Spot on! He played a biggie.

[Swampfox 190]

Tonights win was an impressive team effort

Great to see we won the second quarter and then some

Nothing wrong with our abilty to run out the game either

Trengove will be nominated this week

Scully,s most effective game

Some very good signs starting to appear
