We're missing Hogan, Viney and Lever as well.  Evens it up a little.

Agreed but we have been finding ways not to win for decades Wise.  I've said it all year this year....no excuses.  Just get it done.  Other teams (even lowly ones like the Saints against us) do this at least once or twice during a season.

Unlike the man himself, I've got a real soft spot for Vanders!

Person most likely to kill someone on the field.

Is it too much to ask for a 6 goal unanswered blitz by us in the 3rd? 

I'd prefer 8 but I know where you're coming from.

A stress free last quarter is such a wonderful thing

    Loving the Weids game! On track for his career best I reckon!

    He can stop now and it's career best.

    Not looking for excuses mate, just that I think it cancels each other out.  Both sides are missing important players so we can't use it as an excuse and neither can they.

    Very happy with our first half though and there is no reason why we can't kick on from here for a terrific win.

    I have to admit I was unconvinced about Vanders being in our best 22, now I am. He’s been very important.

    West Coast will be  discussing injecting something at half time.

    We will revisit in a year or two Dazzle I have some doubts but …..??


    I liked what I saw in the second half of that quarter. The turning of the tide was Gus's goal, but it was the lead up to that which impressed me. To me, whilst a coast to coast, play on at all costs gameplan is enjoyable to watch, it cannot be the only approach. By all means attack an empty F50 hard, but at times we need to do exactly what Sydney did to us. There will be plenty of time for run and carry during this game, just need to pull the trigger at the right time.

    Maxy, Trac, Gus, Clarrie, VDB all good. Jonesy better than last week so far. Dom has been clean too. Happy with Frosty, he is becoming something.

    Get up you good thing!!!

    The same people who said we weren’t a chance before the game are complaining that we’re not further in front. Classic Demonland. 

    IMo there’s plenty going right but clearly room to improve. Some critical misses late in the second (Petracca getting too close to the man on the mark was a shocker). But they really lifted in that quarter, they’re a huge second quarter side, and we didn’t just hold them but we won the quarter too. And one of their goals was the worst free kick you’ll ever see.

    Vanders has been fantastic so far.  Really didn;t think he'd be impacting at this level at AFL level so early coming back from such a long lay off.

    The work rate, guts and footy smarts are still as good as 2 years ago.  The desire to succeed?  Maybe even better!

    Please do it!

    Happy so far.

    There is more intelligence going forward which is good.

    I'm also impressed with the Weed thus far. He seems to be clunking them thus far.


    Those sooks of supporters over there.  Scream at every single umpiring decision.  They are the worst sook supporters in the country.

    We're going alright, we've given ourselves a chance. But now we have to step up to the plate and become men. Leap of faith time.

    Jones and TMAC need to lift in second half. Plus Brayshaw

    Very impressed with AVB, Trac and Weideman has given us more than many thought. Big quarter coming up, hopefully past that nervy 30 point margin

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.

      It’s game day and the Demons are chasing a fourth straight win as we take on the high flying Hawks at the G. After decades of being tormented by the Hawks the Dees will be keen to extend their 7 year dominance over Hawthorn.

    • NON-MFC: Round 09

      Round 9 kicks off out west with the Dockers hosting a Collingwood side resting several stars. Fremantle need to make a statement on their home deck after some disappointing form on the road, while the Magpies will be keen to maintain their Top 2 position. Friday night sees a must-win clash between two sides desperate to stay in touch with the eight. St Kilda have shown glimpses while Carlton are clinging to relevance after a flat start to the season. Saturday’s twilight game at Marvel pits the Bombers against a struggling Sydney outfit. Essendon can’t afford another close match against a lower-ranked side, while the Swans risk sliding down the ladder even further. Up in Darwin, the fourth-placed Suns will look to extend their stay in the top four. The Bulldogs have hit their stride with three big wins on the trot and will be very keen to consolidate on their momentum. The always fiery Showdown looms as pivotal for both clubs. Adelaide are eyeing a spot in the Top 4 with a win, while Port Adelaide’s season could slip away if they drop another game and fall further behind the pack. Sunday begins with a yawn fest between Richmond and West Coast. The Tigers need to bank the points to stay clear of the bottom two, while the Eagles are still chasing their first win of the year. The Giants face one of the league’s toughest road trips as they travel to GMHBA Stadium to face the Cats. With GWS at risk of a third straight loss, Geelong will be eager to consolidate their position inside the eight and start their climb up the ladder. The round wraps up with the top-of-the-table Lions heading to Ninja Stadium to take on the second-last Roos. The Lions should easily take care of the struggling Roos who might be powerless against the best in the comp. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?
