On the way to Springsteen concert, as I type Redleg.

You will have to cheer for me.

Good luck we can do with a bit in 2014.

Win would be really nice but I have zero confidence.

In fact if you can have less than zero ( sure you cannot) then I have it.

I can't see us winning tonight unless the Tigers don't give it their all. What I want to see are the new personnel and some improvement especially in the midfield. A close game would be a good result.

    Agree entirely RL. Let's see what some of these blokes have to offer. Eg Toumpass, Watts and Dom Barry. Would have loved to have seen Hogan.

    Lacking rhythm Bitty?

    Back in the sixties/seventies the church tried to sell the rhythm method to good catholics. I thought it referred to rate of stroke and well .. look at me now. The church has much to answer for.

    You've just made Redleg's day.

    And another 10 000 Dees fans WJ me included.

    Went to Springsteen last night and missed the big win.

    On the way home after getting the result My daughter said "perhaps it is you Dad"

    She might be onto something

    Finally the solution!

    Come on OD let's have a glimpse of optimism. A memorable Dees win and the Aussies giving South Africa a touch up.

    Btw I couldn't help but notice how calm but intense Roos looked in the coaches box. There is certainly a gravitas about him. I can still conjure up visions of Neeld constantly scribbling (obviously useless) notes.

    I haven't felt this upbeat since the day I ran over a lyrebird.

    Read my over comments Bbo

    I have a Richmond mate around this morning to help with a domestic job.

    Oh joy today is about to get better.

    You must have been blinded by the light because you went to the badlands by river on the wrong side of the town instead of going to Etihad where Bernie announced, "I'm on Fire". Glory days are coming for those with hungry hearts.

    Was it a long walk home?

    A happy trip WJ

    The Dees won and it was a good concert spent with my daughter

    Sometimes it is hard to imagine a better friday night.

    In case you cannot see it Bbo here is my other comment

    WOW did not see that coming!

    "In actual fact I did not see anything last night went to Springsteen and got out to find we had won.

    I seriously thought we would struggle last night.

    Great way to start 2014 could not have been better considering the players missing.

    I can only imagine how good the players must have felt after the last two and a half years.

    Should bump along memberships next week.

    Go dees"

    Caution is not in my plan today!

    Perhaps he did some dancing in the dark? And were you born in the USA, WJ? :-)

    Disgusted they left Shannon Byrnes out of the final squad last night.

    Yeah they played that young kid number 24 who is obviously hopeless. Our future is clearly with Byrnes.

    Is that like killing a mocking bird? You sound like a sick man, BBO :-)

    Another six months and he will be ancient history.

    May be some help at Casey

    Sat near the Coaches box last night. After the game I congratulated Jackson who sat in the box and he acknowledged me as he walked past me. I also congratulated Roos, who was deep in concentration as he walked to the rooms and didn't even offer a sideways glance to me.

    I have to agree with others that these two guys are our best recruits in ages.

    I really liked Georgiou's game. Thought he slotted in perfectly.

    We have added that much needed pace in Jay and Dom, to complement Blease and even Kent. We will be a much more composed and competitive team, when our best are on the park.

    Thought the experience of Vince and Cross was just sensational, they don't waste possessions and are just so clean with the ball.

    More like an albatross, I should think.

    You ran over an albatross as well? You must drive a tank! :-)

    • 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?
