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.

    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'.

    Happy to admit I was way out with my prediction tonight. So happy to finally see a coaches' message get through to this young bunch of talented kids. Congrats to you Roosey. Vince, Jonesy and co............... great work rate guys.

    Not sure anyone ever preferred Sylvia over Vince.

    Bernie pretty well received on the land.

    After the fact.

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

    Great effort by the boys given so many outs.

    No injuries is also a major plus.

    Looking forward to next game!

    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.

    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.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
