Great win by the team. 

Weideman would be lucky to play again for us, he was terrible all night. Didn't touch it until the second half in a game where we dominated the inside 50s.

He just can't read the ball in flight. On the lead and on the chest he is fine, but once it goes overhead and in a contest he is no good. 

I'm convinced it is his eyesight.

Petty is like the Paolo Maldini of Aussie Rules.
 

Bring the same intensity next week and Collyflops won’t stand a chance.

The negatives for mine were obviously Weideman just having no involvement.

17 of our selected onfield players (and utilised replacements during the game) played extremely well and did the team thing continuously to beat the Dockers quite soundly, obviously and comprehensively. An extra assistant to this victory would make the likelihood of Dee dominance even more predictable and assured. Weideman just ain't that assistant and never will be - wake up, coaches and selection panel.

The harassment, the defensive skills, the tackling like you mean it, clogging up the corridor was back to its best tonight.

Spot on!


Viney’s played some inspirational games in Perth.

In 2017 he got 40 touches in a BOG performance against WC (the game T Mac kicked the winner)

The grand final and obviously last night.

Five minutes?! What part of I barracked for Essendon do you not understand! And I held on for the entire match. I was mere seconds away from calling Jake stringer ‘Jakey’ ffs. 
Besides, surely having to see Chris Scott is worse than having to see Bevo coz Chris Scott. 
Do it for the Dees, Ang!

Ill be screaming in support of the dogs tonight, despite my hatred of them and a few delusional supporters who think they were one josh bruce/easier finals road trip away from winning it. Even switched sides 1 quarter way through the 2016 GF when I realised the umpires were [censored] over the Swans in favour of the fairytaleâ„¢. Hatred of Geelong/Duckwood is just so much greater though!

That was our DNA tonight.

3 more to go lads..

6 more to go

I for one will be watching the Sunday Footy Show to see [censored]-eating-grin Matty "They can't win it' Hottake-Lloyd eat-his-words or dig his hole deeper. 

Loved seeing Kane Cornes on Mondays Classified, stand up to him by telling him we can still win it because of our system. Flustered-at-someone-disagreeing-with-him schoolboy-Lloyd unthinkingly reacted with the attempted gotcha response: "what system?" - Our defensive system Kane responded with. And after 1/4 games remaining, it was a prescient response. Our premiership and 10-0 start gives us points in the bank for the most rational in the media, and for that I give credit to Cornes and Robbo and a few others for not jumping to the hot-take route of saying we can't win it.

I should avoid the footy media, I know. lol

Yes David King is another one. They are so reactive to individual wins and losses. Dees banked the wins and then hit a flat spot. A few injuries; loading and game road testing saw to that. BUT anyone with any nous knows if we keep cattle on field and play to our potential where the best in it. Whilst the cats have been good Dees would be quite happy with a match up on the expanses of the G. Age stop everyone and Duckwood and Danger will be exposed come September. If and it a big word Dees stay healthy and play to potential we will win it. Whilst everyone sees our draw as a liability it is actually a perfect tune up for  finals. Tigers of 2018 had a soft draw and were found out when whips were cracking. Seem to me once we bank enough wins for top two the Lions game maybe expendable. If we lose that watch all the pundits drop off again.

You’re emotionally invested in what Matthew Lloyd, Kane Cornes, and Mark Robinson say…

My dad worked out I needed glasses when I was a teenager when I kept running under the ball.

You’re probably on to something here. 

THREE OBVIOUS THINHS THAT HAVE MADE A DIFFERENCE. 

1...J. Viney is showing us why he used to be Captain. 

2. Hibberd...longer in the tooth but playing at his best.

3. Gus has become an elite player this year.

And a shout out to the fridge and milkman who have regained their previous form.

I just miss the old handball comps with Lou R and how they one the big prizes like a packet of franks and a block of chocs for their sweethearts.

No expense spared. 

All hail to the new guru called Binman and his disciples, Vipercrunch coming to mind!

Following the Demons for 50 plus years, aside from calling out at the footy, go Dees, umpire, the next would be RUN, as for so many years lots of our players were very reluctant to put in the extra yards!

Our current Demons really run, tackle go hard, and it has been noticeable over last eight weeks when it drops off, it stands out and is explained by Binman and his loading disciples.

Fantastic to see the Demons running, tackling, going hard for four quarters last night.

Aside from loading we saw with finals coming near, the little extra effort or ruthlessness as mentioned by Gus on display last night!

Lots great points already made in this post game thread, but a number of things I really liked:

- Rivers back in business, but more zip and confidence back in his game

- Hunt was good and I like his speed

- Trac back in beast mode

- Salem looking more like Salem

- Fritsch, Kossie, Spargo all good smart forwards games

- Melksham level of effort 

- Brayshaw gave different look in the middle and the backline didn’t miss a beat

Tough night for all talls!

The industry is pretty much . . . last thought that went through my brain is the truth. It's pretty much Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistle Stop Cafe.

Meh. You can pretend you're above it all if you like, but I consume and enjoy all footy culture, be it demonland, deebrief, fox footy and free tv shows, websites (Bigfooty, mongrel punt etc) radio and podcasts. We're in the premiership window and I intend to consume as much as possible, and call out the ones who go down the route of hot-takes. So what? It's not like this is going to last forever.

  • 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.

  • CASEY: Sandringham

    The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
    Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.
