POST MATCH DISCUSSION - Round 22

[Salems Lot 2,692]

Uhmmmm, i think i cracked a couple of my son's ribs giving him a hug.....he seems ok with it.....

[DeeZee 7,496]

Shows how important Melksham is to this side.

Hibbered good, Hannan great,Weed 100% holds his spot, did some really good things.

Hooray for finals!!!

Only question is who comes in for Spargo?

It might sound silly but I thought West Coast hitting the front as ‘early’ as they did was helpful. It refocused and galvanised us. So incredibly proud of all of the players. A fantastic effort over there. 

Shout out to the recruiting staff. What did we give up for Hibberd & Melksham? Where were Tom McDonald,  Hannan, Harmes, Jetta and Fritsch drafted? 

What a day. Let’s all get to the G next week and bring back a home final.

Me too, we were looking to save our lead, I thought that would end in tears, we play better attacking and just prayed we could do it. 

[Demon Dynasty 17,169]

Given the number of outs we had and that it was interstate against a top rated side, was that our best win for the year so far??  I realise WC had plenty out as well but....

Expand  

He wasted a lot of opportunities and he needs to actually go for marks instead of pushing his opponent under the ball, but he is far more dynamic and offers more than Hogan has in recent weeks.

We got a good run from the Umpires I thought considering it was over there. 

Expand  

Yeah I thought the maggots were very 'accomodating' today, surprisingly.

Still a few dodgy calls/non calls, but far few that I expected given what was at stake.

We did really well to keep the crowd quiet for most of the game. 

[3Dee 1,153]

Shout out to Harmes who has really stepped it up lately.

Still can't believe the resurrection of Gus, it's beautiful. 

So gutsy, CARN DEES.

JKH would be the only alternative... not sure he adds alot more to justify the switch though.  Spargo showed patches of some solid play during the 3rd i thought and appears to be slowly learning a little more each week.  Not quick but work rate is up there also.

Playing for a home final next weekend, huge stakes now

I reckon Gus threw away the helmet in the last....now or never stuff...unreal

[DeeZee 7,496]

Harmes has filled the Viney void.

Hats off to Chompers!!

[Forest Demon 4,681]

Can we all make a pact not to ever be a bunch of flogs like the West Coast fans?

Let's save our booing for when we are actually getting dusted up by the umps.

Got caught out having to come on without being able to put it on. Order was restored after a minute of play

[Diamond_Jim 12,778]

Well done Dees..... flying back to Oz next week and will be coming to the MCG to watch the GWS game with my fellow Dees supporters.

Let's go into this final series with momentum and belief.

Go Dees

[SFebes 4,884]

Umpires good, coaches played no funny buggers and as much as I’m critical of the old guys, they stood up in the last 10mims and had too. Great club effort all round

Actually the difference is 357 points - so the odds are incredibly long!

Can't agree more, I haven't heard a bigger batch of whiners. We got some lucky ones, they got some lucky ones, I would say (for once) it was actually a very evenly umpired game. 

They're never happy unless they've got 15 more free kicks than the traveling teams.

[Mr Steve 3,820]

Wonder how Viney is feeling tonight. 

[Diamond_Jim 12,778]

6PR commentators in their post match show are saying that Vandenberg should get a week. Late and an elbow

Gone from a fringe to key player in the last couple of months.

I love his composure.

If Freo beat the filth and Sydney and Hawthorn don't draw (so one of them stays on 14 wins), then our percentage would see us slide into 4th.
