Corky according to post match interview with Ling. He'll be right.

Corky but it won’t be a minor one, could hear the hit from 2nd level. He stayed down a while too.

    Dude you must be watching a different game. Was excellent tonight.

    12 disposals 3 marks and 3 tackles (that I admit I didn't see). That's not excellent.  Needs to play with Spargo's intensity or get dropped.

    Oliver, Spargo, Jordon in the last, effort and skills.

    Backline absorbed everything 

    We can scrap.

    Petty stopped his opponent who was good last week.

    Passengers again.

    Tried to be cute with handballs in the wet

    TMac, well done.

    Good coaching, our structures make us difficult to play well against.

    The opposition think they can have cheap shots at us, we used to take it and wilt. Now we fight back and laugh at them.

    Good hard fought win.

    Harmes was great. it's easy to get excited about the shiny and new (Sparrow), but sometimes the old and worn in is just what you need. I thought he was awesome.

    May was HUGE. 

    Fantastic last 3 quarters.  The extra grunt needed and involved in many critical chains.   little sloppy at times, especially in the first but coming back from a decent lay off.

    Broke plenty of tackles and worked his [censored] off to get to the contest.

    Welcome back son!

    I wasn't able to see the game (but am now enjoying this read!?) so in case they don't feature again anywhere, could someone post 1. RDB singing the Song, 2. The post-match Tom MacDonald.

    Has someone checked if Weideman is ok? Must be swearing at the TV every time Tommy goes near it ?

     

    I loath playing Sydney. We played their way the whole game and still won! Just brilliant.

    Team win.

    They closed down our stars and avenues to goal but we soldiered on.

    Kudos to Jordon, Harmes, TMac etc. who all stepped up.

    They'll be hard to beat if they get a home final, the Swannies.

    A good 8 point win for us in some respects as the swans are going to beat plenty others this year. Just not the dees.

    Oliver and Tomald match winners. 
    I wanted Tomald to go back, I was wrong about that, but I’m not a fan of Petty at all. Looks a level below everyone. 
     

    Jomes Jerdan was great, hard at it. Looks like he’ll end up one of those reliable, tough accumulators. 
     

    Love Spargo’s work rate, that checkside was so cool in traffic. 
     

    I didn’t mind Melksham’s game, did some nice things. 

    Love how Gawn stepped up and said ok Hickey, that’s enough  

    I can’t stand Papley, worst celebrations in sport. 
     

    May ?

    Some of Charlie Spargos efforts in that last qtr were first class. Won’t get stats for them but went a long way to stopping their run. Brilliant stuff!

    TMac was huge tonight and Steven Mays shutdown on Buddy as good as it gets.

    Dammit, was that the first time this year we haven't won the last quarter?  2.1 to Syd 2.2?

    Yes.

    We still are yet to be behind in the fourth quarter at any stage this year, though.

    I'm going (have gone) on record to say I'm sticking fat with Harrison Petty, irrespective of Tom McDonald being an awesome forward again. He's young and inexperienced key defender, but given the chance to settle and develop cohesion with May and Lever, he WILL deliver.

    He kicked one opportunist goal but burnt teammates four five times.

    On this year's form 800k a year is not well spent.

    Alex Georgiou destroying Buddy in 2014 was definitely a win in my books.

    Centre clearances still give me nightmares (clear as day it was going to be a major issue against Norf), but thank God for Tom McDonald.

    We are better when Jackson is rucking.

    What I like is that we're not depending on the same few players each week and, let's face it, they can't all be best on ground every game.  Last week it was Fritsch driving the bus.  Tonight he was very quiet but TMac and Brown stepped up.

    We've won some games fairly easily, some by a smaller margin and tonight held out for a very tight win.  In every game, we've been challenged at some stage and have fallen goals behind before prevailing.

    These are things that good teams do.

    My only disappointment is that we lost the last quarter (by a single measly point)for the first time this season.

    Go Demons and let's give those horrible Blues a belting next week.

    Completely agreed. Key defenders take time. He will be a good player. Be patient.

    • Harmes was excellent
    • Brown good - can't wait til he's fully fit in another few weeks
    • Spargo massive (metaphorically speaking)
    • T Mac is back, if he wasn't already
    • Desperately need Viney back in - takes so much heat off Trac & Clarry
    • Not convinced on Petty yet but will judge in a few weeks
    • Fritsch terrible, looked lazy, hope he cops a rocket

      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?
