Hammered it to the opposition

Thats what I meant to say. Thanks.

Some thoughts:

Great to see Hogan keep his feet and put in a second effort - led to GOALS.

OUr structure is so much better with Hannan and Trac operating (prowling) HF.

Max much better, took some great marks.

Oliver was already taking pain killers at the quarter time break.  DOnt know what was up.

Watts - rusty.

Trengove - couldn't run with his man.  Really wanted him to shine, but didn't.

Jetta is a superstar.

Lots of pressure.  Love the 4 points.  ALmost everyone contributed, a superb team effort.

I have rarely witnessed such putrid umpiring ever.  It was only because I was sitting near children today that the language was kept in check.  It was not the number, but the blatant way that the maggots are umpiring for port, and against us.  It was a frighteningly inept display.

Last thought - get on board.  Go Dees!

The Milkshake's uncurdling !! 

Pardon the association but I think he's already a "blue heaven!"

Jordan Lewis is not a good footballer.

He will never make it in the AFL.

Very impressed with Hogan's ground work when the ball went to ground at contests. Won it well and rewarded with three goals. Great to see him improve this aspect of his game. 

He was Garlettesque in his crumming.

More scratchy, than insipid

[bandicoot 1,395]

This a premiership winning side. Bring back jones and keep Gawn healthy and we might do a bulldogs...

[dees189227 12,394]

Thats what makes me happy today. Seeing a guy come back from horrendous feet injuries, play in teams that were repeatably thrashed, handed the captaincy when he wasnt ready and at no stage did he ever give up. Loved the ovation given to him when he ran on today and after the game when Robbo interviewed him. Know Watts was rapt to have him play in his 150th. also nice to see Goody go up to him after the game and give him a hug. 

I still think he can play in this team maybe forward or int he backline. 

[faultydet 7,594]

*sigh*

 

I second this, apart from the Watts "rusty" comment. He was insipid.

 

Better?

I understand weak efforts, and that's what I witnessed time and again today.

Some people see nothing but roses. I think you might be one of them.

Faulty i actually reckon today he ( JW) was somewhere in the middle of that.  A lot of polish was missing but the substance of his role I feel was carried out. Not his shiniest day for sure.

[Bang Bang Bang 5,826]

Who cares if Watts had a stinker? If anything it's a positive. We beat Port's best 22 (literally, they have no injuries. NONE!) with some of our best players either tiring or playing well below their best. We can go deep in September if our cripples regain their touch in the coming weeks.

Thanks. Bit worried that, if Jonesy is back next week, he will make way. Hopefully Goody sticks with him for a couple weeks and he can show himself as heir apparent to Lewis with his skills and composure

What's being forgotten is that it was Jack's first AFL game in over a year, against a top 4 side. The reality is that Jack did everything asked of him, and did it really well. I reckon Goody and the coaching staff will be rapt with his role playing. All in all an excellent effort considering the adjustment in standard.

Goody did say after the game that Jack's first half was 'promising'. Hopefully they give him an extended run at it

[DemonOX 8,791]

How awesome was that!!!!!!

What a game to see live. 

Go u MIGHTY DEMONS. 

[leave it to deever 17,511]

Will 12 wins give us a finals birth?

[DemonOX 8,791]

The umps were atrocious and cost us goals.

Bloody maggots. 

[Red and Bluebeard 2,084]

A really good day at the footy. A Saturday afternoon game, a red ball, and the Dees were never headed all day. Not perfect, but not far off! Go Dees!

No, because there will be at least a fortnight left of the season by the time we get to 12 wins...

[chook fowler 19,459]

If someone had told me that we would be equal fourth at this stage of the season after missing 5 of our top ten players for many games I would be calling for the straight jackets. Goodwins coaching has been superb
