Honestly, that will never happen again in football history. All that happened was the Eagles got a free hit. Up until then we absolutely controlled the game.

I couldn’t be prouder of our club. We’ve had a horrible 9 days and responded with 2 wins. The boys should feel so good about what they’ve achieved. We kept at it, and just grinded. That’s what good teams do.

    Good:

    - Bowey (my goodness he’s already special)

    - ANB in game 100

    - Jackson Rising Star

    - Brown being the dominant target and holding marks

    - Melksham playing his role

    - Team effort overall

     

    Bad: 

    - Goal kicking (will cost us a final)

    - Umpiring

    - Players not being smart enough to know umpires are hot on them

    - Lightning

    - West Coast supporters

    - Brian Taylor

    Round 12 the last time we’ve scored more goals than behinds, it’s disgraceful from the club and I agree it will cost us something big if we don’t actually sort it out.

    Thanks for the heart attack. Every minute of that break and what happened after was stressful to the max. Likelihood of me sleeping properly now: zero.

    Hell yes though. Back on top and now can’t get knocked out of the 4. Very happy.

    Yeah I’m far too adrenalised to contemplate sleep.

    7 day qtine

    Heat doing 15 mins. 10 to 2 free kicks.  We went to water

    Red eye flight back to Melbourne

    No recovery session

    6 day break

    I'll take the result but mark my words we'll pay for this

    It’s hard to switch back on in those circumstances. 
    Meth Coke had nothing to lose. 
    we got there.

    Nah I've got zero time for this attitude.

    An unprecedented 30 minute break when we have the game entirely under control, in hostile territory, forcing West Coast to change their entire attitude, after a week in quarantine, off the back of a day last weekend on a plane.

    This is a win to savour, not to complain about.

    Definitely. If the game didn't stop we win by 40+ easily

    For those who are a bit jaded by the last 15 minute output.

    imagine you’re 6 goals up - 15 to go, you’ve cooled down - you’ve essentially sewn up top 4. And Burgess says, don’t go out and injure yourself, play it cool, play it safe…you’ve got another 5 matches to go for the season.

    do you a) play it safe or b) ensure a greater likelihood of injury after cooling down and go really really hard?

    Bloody great win Dees!  

    No it was not       2 minutes away from the worst defeat in living memory   bloody angry what they put us through the last 15 minutes .....west coast [censored] heads are not that good to be allowed to come back like that    I usually do not say anything about umpires but they were shocking   that one against May for contesting from the side   Royal commission needed as to why they are so bad at interstate venues against Vic sides    votes tonight  Umpires 3 brownlow votes.

    I never watch TV games until I know the result, due to the stress. 

    Checked the score, we were miles in front and I thought here we go, nice  watch the last 15 minutes of live footy.

    Won't be doing that again, Jesus Christ.

    Massive game from ANB, in his 100th game that was an absolute gem.

    I'd happily take that. The last 15 minutes were certainly hard to watch but I'm sure that if it wasn't for the infuriating lightning break we would've kept the game in control and won by 6-8 goals. That break completely messed with our focus.

    ANB and Melksham had their best games of the season. Brown is coming along nicely. Petracca and Oliver, as always, worked really well together in the midfield.

    The last 15 minutes aside, that was a very impressive win. We were all over them until three quarter time.

    Loving the development of Petty this season. Lever and May are great mentors for him. Thomo might find it hard to reclaim his place next year!

    That bit at the end where held it up and wasted about 15 seconds when the Eagles took the mark was fantastic. Play of the game, loved it.

    I wasn’t worried about the “effort”, it was the ability to kill West Coast off through poor goal kicking.

    We were than dangerous 30 points up which is exactly the kind of lead we tend to give up.

    Agree we were in total control Natanui and Yeo were dead on their feet before their little half hour rest.

    Winning last week and this week in really bizarre circumstances shows a lot of character

    What a Hell hole 🕳 it is over there

    4 points banked

    I reckon not being able to leave your house every second week for a week would be hell 🤷. Anyway, just leaving the stadium and off to the old whiskey bar.

      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?
