Should have won by 200

McDonald slowly getting some confidence back, Pickett too

 

Could have should have but they don't give you 8 points if you do.

    Rivers was pretty quiet today. 
    with Bowey and Gus playing terrific defensive footy and Jordon owning the wing he could find himself out of the team in the coming weeks with Salem nearing a return.

    This is what the top tier do.

    Our execution first half was magnificent under great pressure from St. Kilda (to the expense of their ball movement which improved a lot in the second half). We then absorbed their best while remaining steady.

    Tomald was great today. He keeps that up and he’ll stay in the team till September. The great man may have a third wind based on that. I was convinced he was on his last legs before today but I may have to eat a cement mixer full of humble pie.

    Lap it up kids!

    When an opponent seems to have a bit of momentum it’s efforts like Spargo’s that make it very hard for them to score against us. Not giving up on the play after one tackle he quickly puts on another one and just made Membrey rush the kick forward early in the last. 
    Goes a long way to winning games and absolutely loving what this team is doing at the moment.

    I just love how little stress I feel watching footy these days. I expected us to do that today. My MFCSS is a thing of the past.

    Jury not in yet, but definitely played himself to 201. I'm happy for him, back to his best today.

    He performed when the game was there to be won and against the highest rated team we've played all year playing a high pressure game.

    Some great attack on the pill, presented well, a number of score involvements including some up the field (work ethic).  Competed well at ground level and kicked two VN goals.

    If we got that or similar most weeks from Plugga he's gonna be very hard to dislodge this season, injury aside.

    I had this weird feeling before the game, one that I'd never felt before. I'd heard other supporters talk about it but I thought it was a myth.

    'Confidence', I think it's called. I was 'confident' going into this match and it turned out to be well placed.

    Weird.

    After the dominate part in the second qtr I reckon we bombed it long to moser stationary targets/packs and that must be addressed. 
     

    In saying that we had some horrible moments and some amazing moments. Still miss Salem so much, Trac has a few levels to go, Tmac looked good marking and contesting which was good to see.
    Langdon… just wow.

    Clarrie will be the best MFC player ever by careers end if he keeps on.

    It's beautiful isn't it? I am enjoying my football just as much as last year but in a completely different way.

    While I'm not looking forward to a loss, I'm simply not worried about it. I'm enjoying every game, celebrating ever win and am already looking forward to finals.

    His marking was back, everything else comes from that. When he is clunking the ball he is a very hard match up.

    How good was Langdon?

    Brayshaw was huge when needed, May and Viney as well. Tough and hard.

    I like the way they help the opposition up off the deck when needed, then drive them into it when needed, like Zac Jones. We got the better Jones!

    Tell me about it.

    When they got to within 22 with 8 minutes to go, I’d have being pooing a brick in years gone by. 

    This time my feeling was that even if they jag another to get within 16, it’ll take a good 2 to 3 minutes for that to happen.

    Teams just don’t pile on goals against us in short bursts of time. The last team to do it to us was Geelong in round 23 last year,  and it’s not like it mattered much in the end they had.

    Played a fantastic first quarter and a half but credit to St Kilda they didn’t drop their heads and came back at us hard

    System and defensive structures neigh on impregnable

    Quiet today but 15 straight for Bowsey is a record. Well done son

    8-0 and travelling nicely

    Go Dees

    Three clangers notwithstanding.

      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?
