The Demons return to enemy territory. The last time I went to that ground Jakovich lined up on Gary Pert. Who would have thought back then that Pert would be our CEO now.

I remember the last time I was at Vic Park. I am sure it was 1992 when we were down the bottom half and they were 1st on the ladder. We won with Sean Wight kicking the sealer. Don't know the last time we played there but it was around that time. Considering going but it is a fair hike but for memories sake. All the venemous filth sitting in their grand stand was quite a sight.

Taking my nearly-4 yo girls to their first footy game today. Last night I presented them with their first MFC jumpers as my heart burst with pride on such a momentous occasion! 

*who’s cutting onions? 

Carn Dees!

I hope the Dees players don't mind cold showers.

Well done Dees beating the Filth comprehensively. How good was O'Dea?❤️Pearce is a pretty handy footballer as well. Keep it going Dees I want to see finals.

Far better performance from the mids taking away the Pies style of play (they love to keep it in tight and march it forward). Pearce and O'Dea were excellent but the midfield group in general got the pressure and effort right.

Backline did very well although the Pies forwards aren't a big threat. Edmonson looks a player. Lampard took a step up. Liked Kemp at half back.

Forward line still not perfect but really good pressure and created chances. Hanks is a little beauty.

And more than anything it was a disciplined team effort keeping the ball to the dead side for 2 quarters in to the wind and then using the open side with the breeze.

Footy doesn't have to be pretty and playing the percentages is often what's needed. The Pies couldn't get it to the fat side or get anything going when they had the wind, they couldn't stop our girls hitting the open space when we had the scoring end.

If it wasn't for Brazill the margin would've been 4 goals more.

Yes Chantel Emonson looks like she’ll be very good.  Played well against Roos too, who look like the team to beat at this early stage.   L Pearce has started the season off really well, expect coaches votes again.  Mithen is a natural footballer and I loved Hanks’ performance.

Thought Cat Phillips was good today, particularly defensively. 

Best for mine were Pearce, O'Dea, Cunningham, Hanks, Downie, Mithen, Paxman and Cordner.
