My observations:

  • Our first crushing win.

Did you miss Gold Coast last week? 98 points?

    My father told me when I was a boy that good sides win when they look average. A good side has the ability to get the job done when they are not at the top of their game. If we keep winning I don't care how we look. When you win the record book does not say played poorly it just says won by X amount. 

    Are you starting to believe, od?

    A good team win, Smith held up, Hibbo did his bit and Milkshake was good early, BBB was constantly double tagged and spent time up the ground playing the TMac role. The midfield led by Max and LJ did what they had to do, the backline led by Jake Lever, Petty, Rivers, Bowey and Smith were great again. We coasted when we could and accelerates when we needed to and Bayley Fritsch played the game of his life leading us to a great win.

    Well done DEES, top effort Frittata.!!!!!!!

    I also liked that we put a different roster through the middle with Gus in the guts, winning clearances at the end.  Lots of resting minutes into the main crew, and a chance for others to demonstrate that they should run through on occasion.

    I can see rivers going through there in years to come.

    in the finals we are going to need to win the contest and the middle.

    Our backline did look fairly shaky in parts, Steven May is clearly an incredibly important cog in the backline system. 

    I thought Petty was outstanding, his trajectory of improvement this year has been quite phenomenal, deserves any and all credit he gets. 

    and the Crustless quiche strikes again!! 

    Agreed, hes looking very reliable, marking has improved out of sight, great judgement and good kicking hitting targets. This has allowed us to release May moreso to use his kicking. another v good game.

    I thought Smith played himself into the game well. Went off with cramp for quite a bit of the 3rd qtr so I think that upset the balance a bit of the backline.

    May is critical as we know.

    I sit in the AFL members on the Southern Stand wing and it feels like the entire game is played on the members side of the ground!

    Well I sit in the members and feel the opposite. Haha

    Rivers plays well, down back. Rivers could play absolute opposition havoc if allocated a few minutes each game in the midfield.

    Apologies if it’s already been mentioned but apparently Fritta now holds the record for the fastest time to kick 3 goals. His 3 goals in the final 88 seconds of the game is now the record.

    When I look back at the 2021 season in 2030 it will state we beat adelaide in rd22 by 41pts.
    Good win.

    Oliver getting much needed goal kicking coaching from Stafford at training yesterday.

    Will he 'get it'?

    Would love to see him kick a few this week.  If he does, it could just win him the coaches award (and maybe the Brownlow).

    its definitely psychological for Clayton. he cant kick them dead in front. If he pretends hes passing to a seat in the 10th row he would snag more goals.

    He could try running in a straight line, ensuring his kicking leg stays in a straight line AND leaning forward as well. That's 86.4% of his problem kicking for goal.

    Same goes for Max, jnrmac.  I get so frustrated with his veer to the right, hook to the left habit.

    At the draft camp thingy before the national draft, Oliver kicked 30 from 30 in set shots. One of the only draftees to register 100 percent accuracy. Hard to know what's gone wrong since then...!

    It seems so. Hes a deadly kick around the ground and going inside 50. But in front of goal...you can see the anxiety on his face as soon as he takes the grab and looks around at the goals...

      It's Game Day and the Demons have another opportunity to spoil another team's finals aspirations as they take on the Hawks at the MCG. What do you want to see from the boys today?

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

      The Dogs reigned supreme in 2018 with an inaugural AFLW premiership cup and the Demons matched this feat by winning the cup as the Season 7 2022 champions.Meggs wasn’t born when the Doggies won their first VFL premiership cup against the Demons in 1954. Covid prevented many Demons fans from legally witnessing the victorious 2021 AFL Grand Final cup performance between the Demons and the Bulldogs, but we all grin when remembering those magnificent seven third quarter goals.

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Hawthorn and Melbourne. Two teams with impressive form from last week but with seasons that are travelling on different trajectories meet in Saturday’s twilight game for what could well be the most intriguing contest of the AFL’s penultimate round. Sadly, the game has been relegated to that unappealing time slot in the weekend when Melburnians are typically preoccupied with activities other than football. It falls between the morning's shopping, afternoon sport and recreation, and Saturday night fever. A time usually reserved for relatively insignificant events but this one is not a nothingburger for either of the clubs or their fans.

    • AFLW: 2025 Season Preview

      Ten seasons. Eighteen teams. With the young talent pathway finally fully connected, Women’s Australian Rules football is building momentum and Season 2025 promises to be the best yet. In advance of Season 10, the AFL leadership has engaged in candid discussions with all clubs regarding strategies to boost attendance and expand fan bases. Concerningly, average attendances in 2024 were 2,660 fans per match, with the women’s game incurring an annual loss of approximately $50 million.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.
