    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.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
