That was 4 quarters of absolutely magnificent footy.

*Insert OTT hyperbole here*

 

Our kids played really, really well, and geez hasn’t Trac arrived.

Weed was a genuine target on the lead as well. I loved his whole game. Great signs.

So many good players today.

1 Vote for everyone.

(North might just be starting to fell a tiny bit nervous too haha)

 

IM AM SO PUMPED I FEEL LIKE THE MICHELIN MAN.

 

GO DEES!!!!

    I think if we can get ahead and then be in front when the game finishes, we’ll win. 

     

    Uncanny accuracy. It's either the luck of the Irish, or the kid knows his football

    Dees by five goals.

    Jackson to surprise with 2 goals.

    Weid to kick 3.

    We will keep the Hawks to no more than six goals.

    Yes, I'm probably partially drunk.  Maybe.

    Whereas this chump can't even get the margin right

     

    (But feel free to keep drinking, please)

    To everyone - enjoy it.  While it's only a win during a long season, smashing the Hawks by 7 goals is something you can't ignore.  They have embarrassed us so many times over the last decade and now it's our time to start paying them back.

    Trac was sublime.

    Gawny stood up as captain and dominated all day.

    Viney and Oliver were awesome in the engine room

    Jackson was the right pick and was terrific.

    Our backline made them look ordinary, and they have been building to this for weeks now.

    Everything is starting to come together and it is exciting to watch.

    Go Dees!

    Even the most negative demon fan couldn’t complain about that. First class performance all around.

    [censored] me .  We looked like a premiership side today!!!

    Max Gawn - A mountain.

    Petracca - best game ever.

    The good times are over for Clarko - rebuild.

    I made some serious money and ..... the maid has gone into hiding!

    Obviously our best game since the 2018 SF.

    We won all four quarters. We weathered their initial storm, then we weathered their early third quarter pressure.

    Weideman growing with confidence (would have loved him to kick that final goal). IMO a clear tick for the two tall forwards gameplan.

    Gawn unbelievable, Petracca likewise. 

    Our defensive zone is clearly working: sides are struggling to score against us provided we don't turn it over. OMac, Lever and May all worked well together again, can't deny that trio is working well.

    Langdon has been great all year and the more we learn how to use his gut running and space-saving on the wing, the better we get.

    I haven't enjoyed footy this much since 2018. Hawthorn might be a bottom 4 side this year but we outplayed them like a finals side should.

    Absolutely rapt for Weid. Has copped the abuse, copped the bad luck with injuries, copped the non-selection and now taken his chances the last couple of weeks. Good on him.

    • PREGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      With their season all over bar the shouting the Demons head back on the road for the third week in a row as they return to Adelaide to take on the Crows. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.

    • GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons are back on the road again and this may be the last roll of the dice to get their 2025 season back on track as they take on the Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium.

    • PREVIEW: Gold Coast

      The Gold Coast Suns find themselves outside of the top eight for the first time since Round 1 with pressure is mounting on the entire organisation. Their coach Damien Hardwick expressed his frustration at his team’s condition last week by making a middle-finger gesture on television that earned him a fine for his troubles. He showed his desperation by claiming that Fox should pick up the tab.  There’s little doubt the Suns have shown improvement in 2025, and their position on the ladder is influenced to some extent by having played fewer games than their rivals for a playoff role at the end of the season, courtesy of the disruption caused by Cyclone Alfred in March.  However, they are following the same trajectory that hindered the club in past years whenever they appeared to be nearing their potential. As a consequence, that Hardwick gesture should be considered as more than a mere behavioral lapse. It’s a distress signal that does not bode well for the Queenslanders. While the Suns are eager to remain in contention with the top eight, Melbourne faces its own crisis, which is similarly deep-seated but in a much different way. After recovering from a disappointing start to the season and nearing a return to respectability among its peer clubs, the Demons have experienced a decline in status, driven by the fact that while their form has been reasonable (see their performance against the ladder leader in the Kings Birthday match), their conversion in front of goal is poor enough to rank last in the competition. Furthermore, their opponents find them exceptionally easy to score against. As a result, they have effectively eliminated themselves from the finals race and are again positioned to finish in the bottom half of the ladder.
