The Good

Rallying after it looking like the floodgates were opening

Jones

Jamar to Moloney

Watts

The Bad

The first five minutes

The opening concession of goals in each quarter

Being stuck at work instead of being able to go to the footy

My face when I loaded the scores 5mins into the first quarter

I feel your pain. Perhaps I should become a Collingwood supporter so I can justify becoming unempolyed. :)

oh also in the good

Pia Miller at a Dees game again?

I'm sure the fine print on that deal said we got to keep Pia...

Jarryd Rivers played a cracker today.

Jordie x 2. Both were in everything

Trengove cramps in the last Q then lays a perfect tackle.

Cale Morton is still a major worry.

Jack Watts goal at 3/4 time...Forward pressure

Liam J's sealer in the last Quarter.

Good

Jack Watts tackling Houli 7 second to go. Collecting the ball, knocking him aside and snapping a goal on the buzzer.

61,900 crowd - was nice to play and win with a big attendance.

Fighting hard when challenged (this win is better than winning by 89 points against Freo)

The Lads congratulating each other after a good disposal into the forward 50.

Bad

Strauss - he looked lost at sea today.

Miller - falling over in the Tiger's forward line.

The Ugly

Richmond supporters whinging BALL even when a player is tackled within a second of having the pill.

50m penalties were a joke today too.

Cale Morton - he can get the pill but gees his turn overs were costly.

The Good.

Teamwork

Jurrah tackling, and 2nd efforts

Watts' 3rd quarter goal (and the fellow Dees supporter who said to me "that ain't no Brighton Grammar boy any more)

Our forward structure

Very dependable back six

Scully's 10 possessions in the last quarter when everyone else slowed and/or cramped

Moloney and Jamar

The Bad

Set shots at goal. I think we missed 7 gettable shots, it might have been 8

Richmond supoprters who believe if you tackle someone with the ball it MUST be holding the ball. #$*@!%$y frustrating.

Car park being full. Got to Punt Rd by 1.05pm, drove past the closed car park gates at 2pm, had to park in Lennox St, missed first 15 minutes. ended up sitting so high up I could see over the southern stand.

The Ugly

Cale Morton's first kick. In regard to kicking skills, Morton has Darren Gaspar and Ben Holland writen all over him.

Last 3 games I have been to it has been shut at least 10-15 before the start of the game. Not worth the time of day if you're not getting there early now in my opinion.

That said, I'm not that far from a station.

    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

    POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Brisbane

    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?

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last
