I don't normally quote myself -but when I do, I do it with smugness... ....and relief.

Personally I think it is useful to temper expectations. 
We’ve won our games by an average of circa 5 goals.

Irrespective of today’s opposition, if we win by a similar margin - or even 2 goals, I’d be satisfied.

If someone has said to me ‘before the first round - you can win your first 7 matches by an average of 5 goals’  I’d be taking it. 


Can someone explain why we went down in percentage on the ladder??

All things considered, I’ll take it. Can we never play there again please. 

 

I’ve never seen so many hack miskicks hit a target, I was convinced luck was against us. 

 

Heartbroken for Tomlinson. Leave Tomald back there. 

 

Kozzie and Fritsch kept us in it. Couple of cool customers. 

 

Jackson outstanding. Gawn possibly drunk. 

 

That’s about all I got out of it. Regroup, structure up, move on. 
 

Tomlinson ?

Pretty ordinary performance that they managed to turn into a win.

 

Fritsch has 18 goals in 6 games...  if he didn't miss that game with  busted hand he would be right in the Coleman race.  Still might be (unless he gets suspended for that elbow).

Nice to see a Demon player finally kick a bag.


Yeah, it was ugly... very ugly.

Winning ugly is one of the things we needed to learn to do, and this is certainly a start.

7-zip is beyond most 'Landers wildest dreams before the season started. That alone is a huge positive from todays result.

Lets just enjoy the view from the top for as long as we can.

Thoughts are with Thommo.

The most important thing is we got the 4 points.

Fritter capitalised. Kosi was electric, Salem was solid. But geez not convincing at all. And to top it off, Tomlinson ☹️

Weird to say it after a win, but we have to dust ourselves off after this and bounce back hard next week as the Swans won't be easy.

But a win is a win, again, past Demons would have lost this one.

Our avg wins is above todays margin?

Fritta is our best forward for sure.

What an effort.

Six goals.

You star.

The more games we play, the higher the margins have to be to keep it as high

Mmmm, our defensive wall is a brick short. Bloody feel for Tomlinson. 

Good teams fight it out and win ugly, the Tigers game took a bit out of us. I’ll take the win. ?


I'll watch the replay later but thankfully I didn't spend the game in the Gameday thread.

Our percentage was 150% before this game. Today we scored 147% of North's score.

Like a cricketer's average, today's percentage drags the overall percentage down.

Because we were on 150% and would have needed to beat North by at least that percentage to keep it where it was. Something like 110 to their 73, not our 103.

Only bad injury appears to be Tomlinson

 

Well they tell me that that's what good teams do!!!

So sad for Tommo.  Great to see the boys get around him during and after the game.

    The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

    Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.

    It’s game day and the Demons are chasing a fourth straight win as we take on the high flying Hawks at the G. After decades of being tormented by the Hawks the Dees will be keen to extend their 7 year dominance over Hawthorn.

  • NON-MFC: Round 09

    Round 9 kicks off out west with the Dockers hosting a Collingwood side resting several stars. Fremantle need to make a statement on their home deck after some disappointing form on the road, while the Magpies will be keen to maintain their Top 2 position. Friday night sees a must-win clash between two sides desperate to stay in touch with the eight. St Kilda have shown glimpses while Carlton are clinging to relevance after a flat start to the season. Saturday’s twilight game at Marvel pits the Bombers against a struggling Sydney outfit. Essendon can’t afford another close match against a lower-ranked side, while the Swans risk sliding down the ladder even further. Up in Darwin, the fourth-placed Suns will look to extend their stay in the top four. The Bulldogs have hit their stride with three big wins on the trot and will be very keen to consolidate on their momentum. The always fiery Showdown looms as pivotal for both clubs. Adelaide are eyeing a spot in the Top 4 with a win, while Port Adelaide’s season could slip away if they drop another game and fall further behind the pack. Sunday begins with a yawn fest between Richmond and West Coast. The Tigers need to bank the points to stay clear of the bottom two, while the Eagles are still chasing their first win of the year. The Giants face one of the league’s toughest road trips as they travel to GMHBA Stadium to face the Cats. With GWS at risk of a third straight loss, Geelong will be eager to consolidate their position inside the eight and start their climb up the ladder. The round wraps up with the top-of-the-table Lions heading to Ninja Stadium to take on the second-last Roos. The Lions should easily take care of the struggling Roos who might be powerless against the best in the comp. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?
