The 2nd bottle of pinot has been opened. The mrs knows I'll be coming in off the long run tonight

I hope it's of 1964 vintage

 
 

Wow. Biggest in-game challenge for the year, being absolutely on the ropes at half time against the rampaging 7-on-the-trot Lions, and we met it. I thought last week was just about the best win in many, many years but this one might have even topped it.

Listen up Dees fans. There will be ups and downs, but don’t EVER write this team off. We are a very good football team.

Nobody wants us to win. Commentators and journalists want to maintain the narrative about our football club - soft, shaky, lazy. But we aren’t any of those things. We are hard and fast. Stick fat, stick together, and never ever doubt this current group.

Go Dees.

I think no-one expects us to win, including many of us until 4 or 5 weeks ago.

Now we do. (Even when we don't if that makes sense.)

This may sound strange but I am really struggling to get used to this. Best win of the year. 

Any updates on Salem?  Wasn’t subbed out so hopefully will be ok for Monday week. 

I'll write more later, but wow. We are watching a proper football team. I did not see that coming. Now I'm convinced. We're the real deal. 

GO YOU MIGHTY REDLEGS!!!!!!

Spargo doesn’t waste a kick. He doesn’t do the “traditional” small forward magic, but if he gets the ball, it goes to a teammate every time. I’ve come around.

My position on Spargo has been that he "adds value" to the ball. When he gets it he regularly leaves us in a better position that before he got it.

I think 7 score involvements (only 1 during shot) from 14 disposals is evidence of this. He is creative, and scores flow from his possession of the ball.

2018 he was superb at this, 2019 he had a shocker. But he has been good since.


Tom McDonald's conduct after receiving that elbow to the jaw from Dane Zorko was exemplary. He pushed back and Zorko staged a fall. Macca then leaned over the prostate Zorko and told him the time of day. Effen AWESOME. After that the umpire awarded Macca the free kick and reported Zorko. MACCA...UNCOMPROMISING...TOUGH...ALL CLASS. Well done Tom McDonald!

Jeez mate, get a grip. Who cares about the umpires. They’re the same every week, why let it soil the mood?

Well @DemonOX your mum was pleasantly surprised that we were on top of the ladder during the week. Imagine how she’d feel right now smiling down at her boy watching his mighty Dees get the job done. ❤️?

Certainly hope so wcw. 

Rivers another who stepped it up in the second half. Started playing in front, took a couple of hugely important marks, and gave us heaps of drive through the middle.

But make no mistake it was Oliver and Trac who turned it for us. Oliver’s drive is immense now that he’s finally kicking it more like we’ve all been hoping he would, but still has those quick hands to create stuff like Tom McDonald’s goal out of nothing. And Trac just holds his feet in the contest when he’s in it but explodes away from it with such power. 

Definitely two of the best 5-6 players in the comp now. I can’t think of anyone other than Dusty I’d rather have, and even then I’d probably prefer these two. 

Our defence also sorted out its [censored] in the second half and May in particular took some great marks. Hibberd really shut Charlie Cameron out all night - he was a non-entity.

Sparrow didn’t do heaps but flushing that goal from outside 50 was magic. 

We are up and rolling. That was a massive, massive win. 

Commentators gave us a teeny weeny talk up in last minute - but fairdinkum may has well have been reporting that we killed Bambi!

Clinical kill!!

HELL YEAH!

We switched on the afterburners and got the job done against serious opposition.

And the best thing is (I think) that there were a handful of players who never got in the game.

We are capable of so much more. IT'S SCARY.

So, have we beaten anyone yet?

This.

What happened? I was too busy booking ski resorts for next weekend.

When we go, no one can can get near us. Skill, toughness, fitness... an unstoppable force.

Kudos to Charlie Spargo. Probably the best game I have seen him play.

Two things to work on. Kicking for goal and tagging free kicks against. The misses by Kozzie, Weed, even TMac were very frustrating. Harmes, Petty, Hibberd and others need to watch their defensive free kicks...

Better, but still lacking.

  • 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.
