Thought Trac was really dynamic. Just need his set shots sorted.

I wouldn’t go that far. He did ok, but looked a bit underdone to me.

[old dee 24,003]

Another good effort joeboy. 
Funny after a big win very few comments in disagreement!

Pressure and intensity

No more loading

Jackson steps up

Who needs Gawn (joking joking)

I think he definitely improved as the game went on but I honestly thought May was not having a great night particularly early 

[DeeZee 7,445]

Bedford- Please never drop 

[layzie 34,339]

Good work Joeboy!

Fritsch - GIVE THE HANDBALL!

Jackson - still a kid

Jackson - an absolute jet

news.com's take: 

‘He’s astounded’: Demons star snubs teammate in ugly moment

Hilarious article, particularly read with the knowledge of how the game played out 9whcih the article doesn't reference - it must have been written and posted almost immediately after the incident

Haha yeah the 'that's not a premiership side' stuff is over the top, but I do agree with the 'that's not Dees footy' comments. It will get wallpapered over because of how we won in the end, but I thought it was horrendous from Fritsch, and not the first time for him this year.

Haha!    I read it last night when I got back from the footy. Silly stuff.

100% agree. And it was 'un Melbourne'. Worried me at the time, in terms of our attitude.

Brown burnt, I think nibbler, really badly later in the game at the punt road end.

Easy handball to a player in oodles of space for a certain goal, and instead he tries an off balanced snap on his non-preferred - and missed.

Yep, and Fritsch did it again in the third when he tried to dribble a goal from the boundary instead of centring it.

Fritsch, Brown and (not last night) Trac all have a selfish tendency around goals that they haven't seemed to be able to stamp out.

Yep, good call.

There was touch of Hollywood about hat effort as well

Whilst I think the commentators were over the top, there were missed goal opportunities that could have been costly in a close game.  
 

Hope they learn from those ‘mis takes’.

I think Bedford deserved better than "some party tricks".
