Post Match Discussion - Round 13

[dazzledavey36 54,951]

How good was Pedo and Tmac?

[Bang Bang Bang 5,826]

Hibberd is elite. On 2017 form he's within the best 20 players in the comp IMO. I can only think of Rance who is clearly ahead of him as a defender. Amazing player.

[Wadda We Sing 10,685]

Serious question was asked on the radio...."is Melbourne now the toughest team in the Afl?"....never thought id hear the day.

1.5 games probably isn't a large enough sample size to go by but if Oscar has started to develop some confidence in his marking, that is huge for his development, and for the club.

I think we really need to give credit to our football dept on this. The amount of bile on D/L about oscar over the last two years has been legand. We should trust our expert more, but I understand it is difficult when it is people like Mark Neald. 

Go dees. And go our wonderful coaches. We are on track!

I'm blown away by today. Almost more than Crows game. Hard to remember a time I've loved my club more.

last year was a fluke full stop, they are a mess the dogs premiership false alarmers.

Can't wait to watch the replay.

Radio stations raving on Oscar.

Sounds like we had a serious spread of contributors, harder at the contest and faster on the spread, with a dominant backline and a creative forward line.

Why can't we win in Perth next week?

We can, and will.

[Deestroy All 14,266]

Early thoughts. 

Salem, Hunt, Jetta and Hibberd all huge. Don't like to be beaten. Incredibly hard to beat. Just a driving force off half back. 

It's starting to click for Oscar. And he looks like the bloke from Narcos. 

Nothing I love more than this maniacal tackling. I said to Wiseblood yesterday that teams can't keep up that pressure for 4 quarters, well we pretty much did. So impressive. 

Incredible 2 weeks by Watts. In fact his whole season has won me over. His efforts against Geelong and Richmond in the ruck where he got battered. Little lull after that, then his cool head and skills these last 2 weeks, just brilliant. 

Love everything Pedo brings. 

Garlett is on [censored] fire. Tackling for fun  

Bugg back to his [censored] ways, he feeds off it.

Special mention to that giant potato gem, Tom Boyd, for making TMac look like Dean Cox

I've got a bit more respect for them than that. Saw them put it together way too many times to think it was a fluke.

[Dingo 1,062]

ABC Radio votes : Watts 1;Hibberd 2; CAM 3 ! Why am I not surprised? He is a seriously very good player.

They got their premiership, maybe the hunger isn't there as much this year. 

Stringer is an absolute shadow of what he was at his peak. Didn't look like doing anything dangerous all day and his one moment in the sun he completely burnt his teammates.

He really does.

Great show, not sure how season 3 will fare without Don Pablo though.

everyone just starting to see we are a much better team with Pedo another apology needed to the great man.

[NaughtyButNeitz 32]

Goodness gracious me, that was a complete performance! I agree with the others in this thread; our best performance for the year! 4 quarters of manic pressure and sublime ball movement. Go Dees!

I actually think we play this ground better than the G. 

Has Goodwin brought his game plan from Essendon which is Etihad based?? 

Does it stand up at the G? 

 

Im not sure which way it will go but I hope we improve on the G

[leave it to deever 17,511]

No doubt we have been flying under the radar until now.

Media have forgotten we lost 2 games under a goal as well as 1 from poor kicking (geelong) and 1 from injuries (rich).

Add in the best AFL ruckman missing as well as a talented full forward out and we have been ignored by many.

Perhaps now they will pay attention to a club that is full of young talent and seriously going places.

After a decade of darkness.......the future is very bright.

[Redleg 40,946]

I was wrong. 

[640MD 3,378]

Go Dees  two in a row  and fifth to boot,   great day to support the club after the few dark years   Go Dees

[Skin Deeamond 339]

The attendance by Demons supporters today was seriously pathetic.

In some ways the beneficiary of Pedo's form could be Weiderman. Because this completely takes the spotlight off him and will allow him to develop at VFL level. 

Pedo is 100% ahead of Weids and is playing great footy right now. I actually would've like to have seen him kick that goal he gifted to Harmes. Would've been just reward for effort. 

He's clunking some strong marks as well which will be giving him huge confidence.
