30-17 and they still can't get within 4 goals. 

Good luck for the season dogs you might need to up the payments to the umps or practise the ducking a bit more.

    So this is what it feels to be a good team, beat maybe the 2nd best side while playing mediocre

    Considering our backline issues, patchy kicking and terrible umpiring, this is a really good win!

    How good is winning in Round 1? 

    Big year ahead!

    Best game I have seen from Joel Smith, thought he was good.

    Some poor finishing, but a good win with Tracc leading the way, quite a few cobwebs but overall a pleasing start to season with a depleted backline.

     

    Salem is a huge worry, can’t replace his class.

    Very solid, gotta love those grinding wins. Gave them very little after their run in the second. Still, we need to be able to stop those runs. If we can arrest the runs it will be very scary for our opponents.

    I was swearing when I saw Lever out, then Salem knee injury is my biggest takeaway. Four GF starting defenders out is not making me happy, I like to have depth not use it.... 

    From people watching how was Tomlinson?

    The free kicks are going to cause a lot of noise, as will the umpiring in general.

    How good is it to win after being under the pump, the will to win is huge, no side will feel safe. Will be watching tonight my time.

    Salem was a big loss, but Bedford came on and showed plenty.

    Still hasn't sunk it that we are reigning premiers with the best [censored] player in the league. By a long shot.

    Weightman can go and take a long walk off a short pier.

    Hey Rod, have you heard anything else RE. Salo. He didn't have his knee iced in the last quarter. Uncertain if this is a good thing, but he seemed pretty chipper.

    Fantastic first up win.

    Dogs wanted to win badly.... Umps wanted Dogs to win badly.. (only half joking)

    Bailey Smith Frees for = 5   Frees against = 1

    Clayton Oliver frees for =  0   Frees against = 7.    7 !!!????

     

    3 of our first-string backs out and lost another (who is also our best kick out of the backline) early. Didnt just hang on but made it into a solid win in the end.

    I didnt see or hear a second of the game so this is one replay i look forward to.

    Guess we are on top of the ladder again ? 

    Take that any day of the week.

    The self-belief in the team is palpable. Remarkable to see, mentally they're just so strong (collectively).

    Good to see TMAC taking some marks down back in the later parts of the game. Also good to see he still kicks flat punts into the back of players heads...

    • PREGAME: Brisbane

      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?
