Unfortunately my night was marred by racist remarks directed at Salem and Jetta by a group of Hawthorn fans in Q1. Left me feeling down for the remainder of the match, but it was a great win by the boys. Go Dees

Don’t let the turkeys get you down.

Enjoy Mad Monday Hawthorn.

am surprised to hear people talking petraccas game up. He kicked a nice goal but he butchered about 4-5 very important and easy kicks inside 50 or in the forward half directly to a hawks player. the cost of doing that made him in the bottom 5 players for us in my opinion. Theyre so costly 

geez doc, i'd hate to read your analysis when we lose a game. there were quite a few +ves to tracc's game too.

Spot on dc. We can improve in a number of areas but we still won and we're in the lead 95% of the game. We still won a final in spite of problems. How good is to see a Dees side tackle and play tough  they took everything the Hawks could throw at us and return in equal measure. Tough hard relentless play is what wins finals.

What about the "family club" that has more poker machines than any other club. How does that work?

true od. all doc's posts lately seemed to be critical of anything. he needs to lift his veil of negativity and get onboard

[Dr. Gonzo 24,227]

If we get our forward 50 entries right we will be close to unstoppable. Still the one thing that's holding us back from being an absolutely dominant side. We are still young though, the next few years will be bloody exciting. Still got Lever and Hogan on the sidelines too

How good is Viney, the last 10 minutes of the 3rd quarter he just went full on Beast Mode. Reminded me of Marshawn Lynch circa 2014 for the NFL fans here just busting through tackles.

The early HTB against Nev - goal - and the “below the knees” against decapitated Gus - goal - were disgraceful and at critical moments.

All credit to our guys for not letting it get to them.

Utter BS.

Not to mention Rougheads Selwood impersonation in the last - goal.

Rough head is finish he got two goals but he contributed almost nothing else. He will probably play on next year but he should not.

How sweet is this!

Feels like only yesterday I was posting about Jamie Bennell with Old dee or debating whether Scully would stay or go with RPFC. 

Lap it up. Were finally playing a good brand of footy and have winners allover the park. 

I believe in Melbourne.

How good was the banner? 

 

Our Town.  Our turf.  Our Team. Our Time!

Folks, I think we have reclaimed The 'G' as 'Our Turf'!  

And no-one but the Demons can call this city 'Our Town'.

What a great time to be a Dee fan!

On a side note, has anyone seen @Wiseblood recently? Hasn't posted since before the Geelong game.

Of all of us, he's been the shining light of optimism over the past few years (and yes, sometimes a little too much). But I hope now he's getting to enjoy this finals run with the rest of us.

Always been a spruiker and cheer leader for the club. I guess his services are not necessary now. If not then I hope all is well.

Did you report them to abuse phone number or to security? If a few people heard it and were prepared to support your complaint, they are outski. Pricks like that don't deserve to be there.

It's so dumb not least of which is because they have players running around for their team who would take offence themselves. Have they already forgotten Cyril?

When I was about 15/16 a Saints supporter was making similar comments about Farmer I gave him a serve and reminded him about a guy called Nicky Winmar he went pretty quiet after that.

Too right OD I've been waiting my whole life to see a Melbourne side "play like Demons" in Checkers immortal words. Not only that but seeing a midfield with the talent and guts of Oliver, Brayshaw, Viney and Gawn is something I thought I'd never see.

So th e rule now is when a player goes to pic k up the ball you run straight at them, trip over and get the free.

And don't forget to hit their head with your leg as you stage the trip.

That was a disgraceful free.

Viney's last ten minutes of the third won us the game IMO.

Hard to argue with. He was just unstoppable, willing himself into contests.

Also, a bit of Spargo love please. Not big numbers, but all of them seem to be important numbers, and great to see him getting on the end of a couple.

Yeah but he's tired and needs a rest....

Stood near the Hawthorn faithful- gee success has made them rotten arrogant A holes.. 

I thought the same. Guys near me wouldn't shut up all game and were at us all game, until about half way through the last when they just shut up. I looked across and just smiled. So many around us were just plain nasty with their drivel.

I think your description is a good one of many of them.

He is so frustrating. We had 15 kicks directly to the opposition in the first half and he did 3 of them I believe. Did a lot of other things that were really good but has to get rid of some of the brain fades.

One day he will bust out and kick 6 goals. Lets hope it is against west coast.

He did. And he had a weekend off two weeks ago.

On the flip side I can't recall him losing one contest. He was very good at getting the ball.

Because the higher we finish, the lower our first round pick that Adelaide got for Lever.
