    This team is hard to read correctly at the moment

    Ya think? I read that game like an absolute page turner and was very happy with the plot.

    We won this without the best ruckman this century.

    Get Maxy as fresh as can be for finals.

    The cheer squad was ordinary, but otherwise the game was great.

    Curious, merely quoting Fages? Or hammering home a view that you're still perpetually disappointed by the team?

    For Thursday night game against an interstate team, that crowd was a brilliant result. We pulled in more than Richmond vs Port on Thurs night, despite nearly 50,000 less members across teams playing. 

    Brilliant effort Dees fans. Ignore the noise about our crowds for dopey pelicans like Caro. We’re third highest average home attendance in the league. Were more loyal than anyone. Hats off!

    Aaaand officially an attendance record between these clubs in home and away season. Brilliant effort to achieve that on a Thursday night!

    Our supporters should be highlighted and praised in the media. Our attendance has been awesome this year.

    The bloke with the mike was in the way, and yet you still couldn’t hear the questions asked. You’d think they would have sorted it out for Fagan, but no.

    I find this talk of "loading" relevant to my interests.

    When we play our game plan and everyone plays their role , it’s Dees footy and it’s the best footy going around.

    When the stakes are for real the boys stand up and show who is number one.

    I actually think Jackson as a ruck doubles down on our pressure game.

    On the train now next to Titus O’Reilly who seems rather chuffed.

    Had real concerns in the first quarter but it finally clicked. The zone reformed, the tackling pressure returned, our clean up at ground level began to take shape and the link up handballs that have been missing for the past three weeks happened.

    Jack Viney, take a bow…you willed us back into that game yourself and the team followed.

    I had major concerns about the lack of contested marks we’d be able to take but it didn’t matter, it took care of itself. The flow returned.

    My favourite part of the night was not having to even notice May or Petty after quarter time because they just did their job, allowing the true Jake Lever to take flight.

    The feeling is good. Let’s hope this is the return of what we want and expect from this team.

    Go Dees and back in your box Brisbane.

    Hopefully Fages' discusses loading in his presser.

    Great win.

    But they were clearly super fatigued.

    I had my binos on their bench for a bit in the third, and then at their 3/4 time huddle.

    They were completely exhausted.

    I do like this thing that happens whenever Bailey Fritsch kicks a goal midway through the third quarter.

     

    Note of credit to Sam Weideman; he actually took a lot of ruck contests tonight and made a pretty good fist of it, as well as competing pretty well in general. He basically provided the extra option for Jackson in the way that Jackson provides it for Gawn. It got the most out of Jackson and seemed to also get a good level of engagement from Weideman as well.

    It may even be a consideration for when Gawn is available again; the seeming madness of having two rucks and a ruck-forward, made possible by the fact that both rucks have clearly completely forgotten they are rucks and just run around doing all kinds of non-ruck things all day!

    Jack Viney fully fit is a scary sight

    The media talks about our pillar mids of Clarry and Trac, but a 100% fit Viney is arguably on the same level

    He has been massive for the past month, long may it continue

    FAGAN WAS RIGHT … “LIONS WERE LUCKY THAT THE DEES DIDNT KICK STRAIGHT” … IT WOULD HAVE BEEN AN ANNILIATION

    Impressive by Fagan. Clearly disappointed in his team tonight. Real professional.

    Was critical of him last week but boy oh boy was he huge today, Rick Lever you legend!! 

    Just the game he needed to get into some form. 

    The growing exasperation of the Brisbane fans behind me every time he took an intercept mark was marvellous. 😂

    I legitimately thought the cheer squad did a fantastic job all game, and really lifted in the second half and brought it home magnificently. Kudos to all. Made me proud.

    • PREGAME: Western Bulldogs

      With only 3 games to go, all against Top 8 fancies, the Demons face a daunting task as they return to the MCG when they play the Western Bulldogs. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons return to town fresh off a thumping win over the back-to-back wooden spooners, the West Coast Eagles, played in front of a sparse crowd at Marvel Stadium, the same venue that hosted last week's heartbreaking loss.

    • PREVIEW: West Coast

      It was bad enough that the Melbourne Football Club created yet another humiliating scenario inside its wretched season at Marvel Stadium last Sunday, but the final insult is that it has been commanded to return to the scene of the crime to inflict further punishment on its fans this week. Incidentally, if this match preview, of a game that promises to be one of the most unattractive fixtures in the history of the game, happens to cut out of your computer screen three quarters of the way through, it’s no coincidence. I’ll be mirroring the Demons’ lacklustre effort against St Kilda from last Sunday when they conceded the largest last quarter turnaround for victory in the history of the game.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.
