Well it was nice to sit on the train not full of severe depression. 

You can say that again, and after so many beatings we have beaten the Hawks again. May the sequence of 2 continue.

 

harmes was cr@p. I'm sorry but giving away 2 50m penalties is 2 goals we dont get back. it doesn't make up for how good he was other than that.

and melksham? wtf was he thinking? I'm so sick of full time afl players having no clue what to do in in clutch situations Blind freddy could see that he either had to find a short target or kick it to the goal line. almost cost us the game. I hope a coach gives him a slap on the chops for that stupidity.

Yes he did give two away but it's a [censored] confusing rule and the second on was marginal at best.

However, other than that, he was our best. Without his positive contributions we lose.

O’Meara was running amok until Harmes went onto him and shut him down (7 touches after 1/4 time) while dominating the game himself. Very odd comment. 

Harmes plays best in a tagging role. Why we ever stopped giving him those run with roles I don’t know. First real assignment of the year and he has his best game of the year. Coincidence? I think not.

So....

With 2 mins to go.... WHY WAS OLIVER ON THE BENCH TILL THE SIREN???

He was trying to come on. We are so disorganized with our rotations. Truly we are lost without runners. 

Anyone else see the scuffle post siren near M9

 

sore bloody losers!


Clarkson is showing signs of being a sore lose.  Blunt Clarkson

About the Dees: 

"They'll be dancing from the rooftops tonight – but they didn't play outstanding footy, either, today.

"A really good side would have really hurt Melbourne with some of the opportunities we had today – and that's the disappointing part," he said.

"We couldn't sit there and say, 'Melbourne's pressure was just enormous and that's what stopped us from dropping marks and missing kicks and that sort of stuff'.

All that may be true but poor form from Clarkson.

Hawthorn supporters aren’t recognised enough for now feral they are - would say many of them are on par with the wobbles or bumbers from my experience

A few reflections 

18.51 minutes of "highlights" overstates the quality of the game

To the bloke who eventually punches  James Sicily's [censored] lights out - I will buy you a beer

Marty Hore's tackle late was GOLD

Frosty's pirourette and outside if the boot pass GOLD

Frost and Hore spoils to save the game PLATINUM

Wish we'd converted a few more of those easy set shots!!

Yeah, we were S#1t 

But we beat your pathetic @ss so eat a bag of ××××

 


An ugly win, but we banked the 4 points, and to make it sweeter, it was against a team that has had the wood on us for most of the last decade.  In the end, our guts and detetmination, combined with a positive mind-set, overcame (frequently) deplorable ball skills and decision making.  Very happy to take it and move on.

Not going to be too harsh on the umps. Frost threw it in the last seconds. If they were paying attention we lose. Oh well. Sucks to be Scullthorn

What your saying is cr@p

Rubbish comment on Harmes. Tagging jobs like his today, where he not only shuts the oppositions best player out of the game but is damaging himself, are almost worth 2x players on the park.

Rama on ABC clearly thought harmes’ 50 was rubbish 

It's a dumb rule, absolute rubbish rule.

But technically both were correct.

Listening to 3AW on the way home, they commented the second 50 by Harmes was unlucky because OMac on the mark moved to his right a fair bit albeit fairly which made Harmes look like he was encroaching. Is that what happened?

Watched replay again, not really

Omac shuffled a few metres across but Harmes was running straight through, just needed to run slightly diagonally  away and would've been fine and made it clearer he was avoiding the space

In both cases he didn't seem to be paying any attention to the rule. One is forgivable, but the second is just brain dead stuff - I won'tgo so far as to call his game cr@p... but 2 x 50s for the same thing is a problem

He also happened to kick the winning goal !!

But gee that will get the confidence back up I hope. I thought Goody giving them 4 days off was a bad idea but the break to freshen up may have helped. 

If I could say one thing that pervades this website (and it's not about you @dees189227) is we fit what the football club does to suit what   ever happens, even though these things have minimal impact really. And of course, typically to the negative.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

  • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

    The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

  • POSTGAME: Collingwood

    Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.

  • GAMEDAY: Collingwood

    It's Game Day and the Demons face a monumental task as they take on the top-of-the-table Magpies in one of the biggest games on the Dees calendar: the King's Birthday Big Freeze MND match. Can the Demons defy the odds and claim a massive scalp to keep their finals hopes alive?
