So who's nervous for next week? 

No seriously tonight was just awesome. To hold Riewoldt goaless after the 5 minute mark of the 1st quarter was outstanding & to keep Lynch goaless all night was brilliant. 

We kicked accurately & never let them back in it. 

Only negative. Jones didn't kick a goal

    Considering tipping us against Norf next week.

    SO worth it: put $10 on and enjoy the princely sum of $10.10 returned. ?

    We were in the top deck above Punt Rd goals. When coming down the stairwell on the way out, about 2000 people in the stairwell spontaneously  erupted into the Grand Old Flag song. It was joyous and awesome

    Last time I bet on a game was when i put $200 on the Hawks to roll us.

    We won for the first time in a decade.

    As David King keep mentioning this week we still haven’t beaten anyone of note.

     

    Well Mr David King. That is both the Grand Final teams we have beaten. Trust you now realise this team is a real threat.

    I bet against the Dees every week, no matter who or where we play. And I’m thrilled to say that I have yet to collect a single cent this year!

    It has taken some time but we are finally seeing the fruits of May & Lever with Tomlinson being the manure to make this defensive core blossom. So much confidence in the back six.

    The rest up the ground is just party time.

    Awesome call 3D, we are really well placed if Tomlinson can keep doing what he's doing, because he's been sensational.

    Could the 2019 draft end up being our best ever, Jackson, Kossie and Rivers. That draft could set us up for a decade!

    No

     

    1. Tom Scully

    2. Jack Trengove

    3. Dustin Martin

     

    Was better

    How good is this?

    Seriously, a team that play for each other and a structure that looks right now seriously [censored] good.

    I love it.

    Have only seen the last quarter what a dour struggle. Six in a row and having now beaten both of last years grand finalists.

    I am lost for words.

    Don’t judge it by the last quarter, we were spent and just killing time.

    Watch the 2 middle quarters for some blistering demons football.

    First 10 minutes aside, we absolutely controlled that game. After the fumbles in the first quarter, I packed my dacks when I saw the heavy rain at the start of the 2nd, but it was completely unfounded.

    I’ve had too many drinks to post too much analysis, I’ll see you all in 12, actually maybe 24, hours.

    Yeah that was epic.

    They threw everything at us in the first 15 minutes. Most other sides in the comp would have folded. In any other year we probably would have folded. The way we steadied, didn't lose focus, and then turned the game completely around and bullied them for 3.5 quarters was remarkable.

    Our forward half pressure was immense. They had a stack of inside 50s but they were repeatedly delivering it under our pressure, and with no structure forward of centre because they were sucked up the ground trying to move the ball through our defence.

    Some will criticise by saying Richmond had two injuries. Reality is we were dominant when they had a full squad.

    Salem was BOG and deserved the medal. Petracca was great though, Lever gave up that one goal in the fourth but was otherwise fantastic. ANB lifted on last week, TMac started slow but became a force as the game went on. Jackson's getting better every week. 

    Special mention to Hibberd for his incredible tagging job on Dusty and Tomlinson for being the rock that lets Lever and May do what they do.

    And finally, congrats to Nathan Jones. Played a reasonably good game. Really wish Oliver had passed to him late in the fourth, but he got chaired off after one of our best wins since he started.

    I felt like we were just trying to ice the clock in the last half of the last quarter.  Once Richmond missed a few in the start of the last and Kosi kicked that goal, it was all over and we just went defensive. Fair enough. We tackled like machines all game and were out on our feet. I know they were a man down in the end with Dusty out, but they had 3 extra days rest coming into this game. We were exhausted and played out of our skin for 3 quarters.

    Oddly enough that game was the lowest my blood pressure has been all season. That’s how good it was

    Just had to find our feet after the first 15 minutes. Our defence is unreal. Literally 3 of our 6 are AA material. Amazing instincts by our players at stoppages. Sloppy patches towards the end of the 3rd but huge plays time and time again after mistakes. T Mac and Jackson are absolute beasts. Just love these players really.

    • PREVIEW: Geelong

      "It's officially time for some alarm bells. I'm concerned about the lack of impact from their best players." This comment about one of the teams contesting this Friday night’s game came earlier in the week from a so-called expert radio commentator by the name of Kane Cornes. He wasn’t referring to the Melbourne Football Club but rather, this week’s home side, Geelong.The Cats are purring along with 1 win and 2 defeats and a percentage of 126.2 (courtesy of a big win at GMHBA Stadium in Round 1 vs Fremantle) which is one win more than Melbourne and double the percentage so I guess that, in the case of the Demons, its not just alarm bells, but distress signals. But don’t rely on me. Listen to Cornes who said this week about Melbourne:- “They can’t run. If you can’t run at speed and get out of the contest then you’re in trouble.

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit.
      Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      For a brief period of time in the early afternoon of yesterday, the Casey Demons occupied top place on the Smithy’s VFL table. This was only made possible by virtue of the fact that the team was the only one in this crazy competition to have played twice and it’s 1½ wins gave it an unassailable lead on the other 20 teams, some of who had yet to play a game.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      In my all-time nightmare game, the team is so ill-disciplined that it concedes its first two goals with the courtesy of not one, but two, fifty metre penalties while opening its own scoring with four behinds in a row and losing a talented youngster with good decision-making skills and a lethal left foot kick, subbed off in the first quarter with what looks like a bad knee injury.
