Brayshaw was MAGNIFICENT tonight. 
 

GO DEES

Brayshaw best game for the year

[BW511 2,704]

Really good to see Sparrow have a good finals game, he’s been building for it all year. 
 

I am almost scared to say it, but we are in a very healthy position leading into the next two games. Everyone is chipping in and we are playing with a real purpose as a group

[Jaded No More 68,974]

A very impressive win against a very good side. Viney did a sensational job on Zorko who had 0 score involvements. Sparrow was terrific. ANB did a great job on Rich. Jackson and Rivers so composed under pressure. Fritta brilliant. Gus was excellent. They tried to play down his wing and it backfired.
And of course my man Oliver. What a star. He is a genuine freak. Two games away from becoming an all time great for this club.

Both wingers very good tonight

Great solid team win! Too [censored] and excited to write more.

Matheson is a dirty dog!

Loved Sparrow's game. Can see him becoming something quite special, which I wouldn't have said 10 weeks ago. 

Loved that hard groundball clash he had with McCarthy.  They both went in hard and neither one went head-first looking for the cheap free.  Perfect technique from both players, great contested clash and Sparrow damn near killed the guy when they hit.  🤣

CARNA DEMONS ♥️💙

Are both prelims and GF in Perth? Maxy said we’re off to Perth tomorrow.

At this stage the grand final is at the MCG.

(why they haven’t yet conceded it is just insulting to the public)

YOU BEAUTY!

We are built to play finals footy and it showed tonight. Their midfield was on top early but Gawn wrestled control back from McInerney and from there we controlled play for most of the match. Had we kicked straight in the second and Brown nailed his third quarter miss we could by that stage have been 10 goals up.

Fitness again coming to the fore I reckon. McStay's injury doesn't impact their ability to run the game out as the sub negates the lack of a rotation, but in the fourth quarter we had all the running.

Our A-graders carried us but some of our lesser lights were stand outs. Langdon's first half was terrific, Rivers was rock solid, Sparrow might have played his best game in his career, and the much-maligned Brayshaw, Harmes and Viney all played great games I thought.

We bullied a full strength dominant clearance midfield and held the highest scoring side in the comp to their second-lowest number of scoring shots and second-lowest score of the year. We kept the king of the fl*gs, Daniher, goalless for the first time this year. And we put up 93 points and 28 scoring shots when everyone says our scoring is our weakness.

Now we get the week off, which is invaluable this year, we avoid Port Adelaide in Adelaide, and we set ourselves up for a shot at the big dance.

Get the [censored] around us!

GO DEMONS. What a brilliant effort that second quarter was unbeatable football

Alex Neal-Bullen played his best game ever I reckon

Except for all his great games that don’t get rated as such. He’s a fabulous leader and essential to the heart of this team.

How is Nibbler in traffic these days!?!? Would win an egg 'n spoon race on Westgate freeway.

[Optimus D 283]

First challenge ✅ Great hard fought win. Go Dees

[pineapple dee 2,892]

Little impact from the 'Barometer' tonight. Unless of course you count cheap hits on actual good AFL players.

He's weak as water and a one trick pony who's no good at the trick

As far as Jackson's tooth is concerned, he should replace it with a gold one !!!

[Mr Steve 3,820]

Next game will be the tough one. Win that and the Grand Final will be a walk in the park. Now $2.75 to win the flag.

I rate him highly, much to the chagrin of many on here.

But tonight was his best in my eyes. All the good stuff, 2-way run, tackling, and more possessions at high DE%

[Nicko 1,383]

Gawn - 7 tackles 

the most tackles in the ground tonight ❤️💙

[The heart beats true 18,178]

The 2 things I took out of that game:

1. We are a great team.

2. I’m convinced Rhys Mathieson is Dr D

[Gorgoroth 13,135]

Seriously good performance tonight. We made them look avg at best.even J Briwn said, don’t worry about the score, that was a 10goal win.

My heart could do with straighter kicking early to nail the coffin shut early. We are in the drivers seat. The destiny is in our control.it’s up to us.

So good! Calm, thoughtful and hits targets. He's had a great year, but reckon he's been getting better each week.
