Hello no - Vince had a 90% kicking efficiency. Name another dee that has had that in recent times!

Jay Kennedy Harris - your going on my list of favourite players. What an exciting young kid.

So I'm watching the game at the pub up here in Queensland with a Richmond following friend. Cover band blaring in the background. Paul Kelly's 'Dumb Things' is playing as Trengove turns it over in the

What really annoys me about Dwayne Russell is everything he says and the way he says it.

I'm a happy person right now. Didn't expect a win but how wonderful is it - feels like we just won a premiership. Ok, the season hasn't stared yet but there is hope. What a difference the new boys made especially Bernie Vince and the young lads. I think I will go and have a good cry now while I sing the song again. Thank you Paul Roos for giving the boys their spirit back.

Watched Vince play SANFL when he got dropped from Adelaide for getting on the turps.

Racked up nearly 50 possies and embarrassed the Crows for even dropping him, the guy has immense talent.

I've backed him twice for the brownlow at odds in the past 5 years. Pretty big fan of 'The Difference'.

After the fact.

Anyone calling for Sylvia to be traded in the past were shouted down by the masses here

Yeah, before we essentially got Vince in return... Since we offloaded Sylvia, received compo, offloaded that for Vince - I think nearly everyone in Demonland was all for that.

I haven't heard many people say we would've been better off with Sylvia - and that was even before tonight, since we have got Vince, he has been a favorite around D'land, nearly at JKH levels.

Put a lid on a people, we win and I'm shouting shots at the bar but wait til' round 1.

It's not about the win for me, it's just the sheer relief of the fact that we played like a footy side. Every other club's supporters are going to think we're carrying on as if we've won the flag, but fuck 'em, none of them have been through what we have. Seeing the light at the end of the tunnel is an awesome feeling.

Indeed.

But it is nice to see a game structure, see us keep possession of the football and operate with a functioning midfield.

Keep a lid on it by all means... but there are some excellent signs.

We still need to be able to cope with the increased physicality, speed and pressure of the real stuff.

Toumpas had a quiet night, but how much better will it be for him and Viney to play in a midfield where they have the support of Cross, Tyson, Vince, Jones and a fit Trengove. Not to mention players like McKenzie, Evans and Matt Jones rotating through.

It could be interesting to see how people rate Toumpas and Viney against Wines at the end of the year with a more balanced mindfield supporting their development. (Not trying to say Wines isn't going to be a good player,... but the comparisons last year were a little off)

I wholeheartedly agree. We just looked like a team which was TOTES AMAZEBALLS!

It's not about the win for me, it's just the sheer relief of the fact that we played like a footy side. Every other club's supporters are going to think we're carrying on as if we've won the flag, but [censored] 'em, none of them have been through what we have. Seeing the light at the end of the tunnel is an awesome feeling.

We actually kept possession of the football. Opposition supporters mightn't understand, but the sheer fact we held possession is like winning a flag.

Well, I wouldn't go that far, but it was good to be able to watch a structured and somewhat disciplined side.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 11 vs St. Kilda

    It's Game Day and after 2 losses on the trot the Dees must win against the Saints today at the MCG to keep in touch with the Top 4. A loss today will see them drop out of the Top 8 for the first time since 2020.

    HEAVEN OR HELL by The Oracle

    Clashes between Melbourne and St Kilda are often described as battles between the forces of heaven and hell. However, based on recent performances, it’s hard to get excited about the forthcoming match between these two sides. It would be fair to say that, at the moment, both of these teams are in the doldrums. The Demons have become the competition’s slow starters while the Saints are not only slow to begin, they’re not doing much of a job finishing off their games either. About the only th

    THE BLOW by Whispering Jack

    Narrm’s finals prospects took a crushing blow after the team’s insipid performance at Optus Stadium against a confident Waaljit Marawar in the first of its Doug Nicholls Round outings for 2024.  I use the description “crushing blow” advisedly because, although the season is not yet at it’s halfway mark, the Demons have now failed abysmally in two of their games against teams currently occupying bottom eight places on the ladder.  The manner in which these losing games were played out w

    HALF FULL by KC from Casey

    It was a case of the Casey Demons going into a game with a glass half full in their match up against the Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields on Saturday. As the list of injured and unavailable AFL and VFL listed players continues to grow and with Melbourne taking all three emergencies to Perth for the weekend on a “just in case” basis, its little brother was always destined to struggle. Casey was left with only eight AFL listed players from who to select their team but only two - an out-of-form

    The Demons return to the MCG to take on the Saints in Round 11 on the back of two straight losses in a row. With Jake Lever out with concussion who comes in and who goes out?

    POSTGAME: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    Many warned that this was a danger game and the Demons were totally outclassed all game by a young Eagles team at Optus Stadium in Perth as they were defeated by 35 points.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have returned to the site of their drought breaking Premiership to take on the West Coast Eagles in what could very well be a danger game for Narrm at Optus Stadium. A win and a percentage boost will keep the Dees in top four contention whilst a loss will cast doubt on the Dees flag credentials and bring them back to the pack fighting for a spot in the 8 as we fast approach the halfway point of the season.
