No one is up in arms about Wattsy now !! Great game by everyone. So much aggression and energy.

I'd prefer Spargo to him. Spargo works his butt off, without any hoity-toity smugness.

I'd prefer 'el-gato' to him, as well. We have a beaut.

    If you go into a oppo player to belittle him, it can go either way. Against a strong side down on form, being arrogant can cause the oppo side to fire up.

    Or give them ammunition for when they are back to full strength, for next time.

     

    This is how I would hope our players would react, in that case.

    You can't be 'dee-luded'!

    You seem a far more cheerful and well rounded character.  Might I also say far more worldly and balanced in perspective...

    ...sorry to 'dee-luded', no offence intended, I always found your posts entertaining and 'colourful' in more ways than one...

    Trying to keep a lid on things after this win is tough.

    Fortunately my football knowledge is terrible, which makes things a little easier.

     

    In 2016, I thought the Dogs had no chance. Premiers.

    In 2017, I thought the Tigers had no chance. Premiers.

    I think the Dees have no chance in 2018.

    Just watching the full first half

    Brooooose is just appalling - practically orgasmic every time Eddie goes anywhere near the ball and so cringeworthy  deferential to the woman glasser. 

    And I never thought that Clarrie’s hands could get quicker .... but they have.  Truly amazing 

    Could have been better - actually stuffed up about 4 opportunities in Q2 in possession in deep F50  - should have won by 120+ ( I know I am getting hard to satisfy)

    Haha same!!

    Hibbo best on first qtr and a half with Gus close behind, Crows were not great but came a few times and really put the pressure on and got back to 18 points before we went again. But of credit to the Dees please.

    Besides a couple of smothers Talia was given a bath.

    Graphic comes up 5 mins later showing the ground is not as wide as the G

    ”oh that’s surprising..”

    I noticed that when Mackay fumbled that ball and Melksham pounced, no one went and got stuck in, I think Melksham thought about it for a split second but just celebrated with Hogan. Petracca was in the vicinity too. No doubt in my mind they would’ve been all over Mackay last year. 

    No doubt Goodwin’s message of being a strong but humble footy team is sinking in. 

     

    For the record I wouldn’t let Mackay hear the end of it. 

    Hogan on Mirra earlier this year.

    The ground is longer but narrower than the G, something that shocked me. Bruce claimed it feels wider than it is, to me, I always felt the ground was smaller in all dimensions in comparison to the G.

    maybe, just maybe keeping the lid on,,, has its benefits..... over recent years?

    The ground is wider on the flanks giving it a more “rectangular” feel than the MCG. I think that maybe where the deception comes in..

    "No, it is because the Crows have been utter crap today, Bruce, and the Dees have hit a real patch of form".

    Yeah.  It was so unusual for a team not to get stuck into a player in that situation it was very noticeable.  It's clearly been an instruction from Goodwin and I like it.  Reverse arrogance :)

    Although you can see Petracca saying a few words to him (but not looking at him) as he was walking off.

    I like it. Perhaps is a correction from last year, when we were arguably "too unsociable" (think Bugg, Vince, Lewis, Hogan all suspended). It is a fine line, but we seem to have got the balance better this year.

    All this positive press makes me uneasy and I want to see us do it over a long period but bloody hell it feels exciting like we could be on the cusp of something really special.

    That's precisely how I feel.

    I'm concerned about the OTT stuff being said about us (we're not premiership favourites FFS) and, like many, I'd love to see us play like this against a stronger side than North Melbourne or a two-thirds-strong Adelaide.

    But I love feeling like we're a genuine top-flight club. I love knowing that we play the most exciting football in the league bar none, but that we're also the best side at contested ball (by a mile, too). I love feeling confident and I love having genuine belief.

    • PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Way back in March we contemplated the possibility of a Demon resurgence after Simon Goodwin’s summer of love. Many issues at the club had seemingly been addressed, key players were returning from injury and a brand new day was about to dawn. We imagined the coach pulling a rabbit out of a hat. The team would roar up the charts, push aside every opponent and make its way to a Grand Final ending in ultimate triumph with Goody and Max holding the premiership cup aloft under a shower of red and blue ticker tape.

    • AFLW REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      We’re back! That was fun. The Mighty Dees’ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commanding 48-point winover the Western Bulldogs, retaining the Hampson-Hardeman Cup in style. After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

    • CASEY: Box Hill

      The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

      The final game of the 2025 Season is finally upon us and the Demons may have an opportunity to spoil the Magpies Top 4 aspirations when they face them on Friday Night. Who comes in and who goes out?
