When watching the game live I have the sound muted (I canโ€™t handle BT) but just finished watching the replay with the sound on and I have to say our Sydney based brethren were magnificent. Iโ€™m not sure how many were there but you certainly generated plenty of noise and Iโ€™m sure helped lift the team. I hope as many of you as possible can make it along to the SCG for the QB game.

If you are a NSW based member do you have to pay to attend?

Had a great night at the footy with my 9 year old and one of his friends. My first live game of the year and now looking forward to going again for Queens birthday. 
 

The crowd was great with respectful banter with the nearby Brisbane supporters. 
 

I really liked Rivers and Perryโ€™s game down back. Rivers covers a lot of territory and has some great burst moments which puts the opposition under a lot of pressure. Petty was strong and defended well when we were under the pump. May and Lever did some nice things but also had some poor moments. 
 

My sons favourite player is Kossie who he calls โ€˜Crazy hairโ€™ had an amazing 2nd half and I loved his goals. Some of skills are unbelievable and it was a pleasure to watch live from the fence. 

 

Was quite quiet and eery atmosphere early. Very few in attendance. It picked up after half time. I think the tipping point in momentum was when the brisbane lions cheers squad leader went [censored] up and fell down a few rows of seating. ?? Boys grinded hard and got on top.  Lachie Neale is as big a downhill skier Ive seen. And Dayne Zorko, Well Tommy Mac sorted that goose out then showed class and gave the midget a hand up.  

We are a different club to what weve all become accustomed to. Signs of a great club and Petracca ???

i don't know OD but i would assume not. 

And btw I'm glad to see you are finally able to enjoy our wins


Our little Demon group hit a mid season high for barracking noise in the second half last night, apparently the neighbours have a chuckle when a MELB game is underway. I reckon we engaged the neighbours of the neighbours and theirs too last night it was magnificent!!

Have always enjoyed the result, it's the journey that still worries me when it is happening. I am sure large part of the problem is having to watch on TV. I have never liked watching games on tv. Nothing like being there.

It is a great intimate atmosphere at Giants Stadium, yet was eerily quiet early. But understandably so. If Iโ€™m in my own lounge room watching live, or (I imagine) at the MCG amongst fellow members, I am incredibly vocal. But with a group of strangers, at a foreign location, I, like most, were hesitant to let go initially.

But seeing the lions demolish our game plan, was enough to set us all off. And once the noise was up, it just kept cranking. 

I loved the Kossie, kossie, kossie chant that erupted every time he enchanted the crowd. 

I loved the great banter between the opposing supporters.

l loved the supporter who fell down about 6 steps in aisle 290 but didnโ€™t spill one drop from his 2 cans of beer (amazing performance)

But most of all I loved our ability to turn the game on its head, and run out comfortable winners, and I was able to see that with my son.

PS, hey Sydneydee, I have a couple of brand new unused ponchos if you are interested.

What a turn around in a game playing Team No.3, they were all over us in the first half but when the boys put their foot down and applied the real pressure we ran them off their feet and we just got better and better. Just how good can we get ??? My grandson and I were getting so noisy at the start of the third quarter that my wife went into the bedroom to watch the game. We now have gears and when we go into overdrive no one can go with us. What an exciting feeling, I havenโ€™t felt like this before, expecting to win when all the early evidence is predicting a loss.

So proud off our Team. โญ๏ธ??


Probably has been said but massive thanks and respect to that sensational group of supporters that turned out and contributed (without doubt) to our win over Brissy. F ing unreal effort!

Just had the misfortune of watching Saturday Countdown and Derm โ€œjokinglyโ€ asked Brayshaw if Oliver throws it more than Tom Brady.

I donโ€™t normally get upset about media but it just showed complete and utter disrespect for not only Oliver, but also Brayshaw and a team that is 11 and 1.

I dare say Derm wouldnโ€™t have asked it to a player from a โ€œbigโ€ club. It just feels like a lot of the media are having a hard team getting it through their head that we are the best right now.

Heโ€™s becoming to be up there with BT in terms of commentators I canโ€™t listen too at a rapid rate.

That was utterly embarrassing by Derm. You could sense Huddo and King wanted to crawl under the table.

Watching the second half again now.

The midfield finally stepped the [censored] up which caused Brisbane to rush kicks forward allowing our backs to take control.
We rebounded hard, linked up and as the game opened up, it allowed us to kick forward to an uncrowded forward line.
Game over.

Right now I am in unfamiliar territory with this win loss ratio, so donโ€™t know what to do with myself. I love it. Go you Demons.

Yep so much of our success is about the pressure we put on the oppo mids. It is this that allows players like Lever, May and Salem to get intercept marks and distribute the ball to dangerous positions. Love it..

The challenge for this group is maintain this type of intensity and ok if they drop a game  but also peak at the right time.....But very enjoyable with my 23yo son watching weekly win especially in lock down!

[censored] Dermie

 

Every one of those 'examples' he clearly handballs. Fair dinkum he is a .... up ...... Can't believe they pay him to comment on football

How about looking at how tbe dogs move the ball


I drink pretty heavily during Friday night games so my memory is generally pretty hazy of the last quarters of games. I woke up today and literally thought that passage of play that led to the final TMac goal was a wonderful dream Iโ€™d had. Watching the replay and it actually happened! Holy [censored], what an unbelievable team effort.

Whereas, Harmes seemed to rotate to both Neale and McLuggage at stoppages in the first half.

So I thought the way we used our mids to shut down their dangerous players was superb. Yze must deserve a lot of credit for this and the improvement of all these guys has to be at the feet of Williams, whilst taking nothing away from Goodwin and the trust he has in the players to play to his blueprint.

The real strength that we're beginning to build in our midfield though (and I'd argue it's similar for our back 6) is having the ability to lockdown on a player and then join in on offence.

Viney is good at it, but I'd argue Harmes is more dangerous because his kicking is more penetrative than Viney and he kicks goals.

But Melksham, IMO, took a step towards being able to play a similar role last night. Shut down opponents, but then join in on offence when he could. It's the perfect example of offence coming from your strong defence.

But Melksham didn't play a role last night. Goodwin has confirmed this and stated that he simply had a quiet 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.

  • 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. Saturdayโ€™s twilight game at Marvel pits the Bombers against a struggling Sydney outfit. Essendon canโ€™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 Adelaideโ€™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 leagueโ€™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?
