What did Richo say? I have no sound 

Something happened with Petty…

Sounds like (likely) Zorko made overly personal comments about someone  from Petty's family.

Great win, but FFS Jaded and the others having a whinge about Brissy getting the last two goals have a good look at yourselves absolutely pathetic 

Wait until you see what Sydney come up with.

Bruise Free

Weve been playing finals since the Geelong game as Max said...

A week off now and Give Em Hell !

Is there a table somewhere that shows the scores we need in the St Kilda and Sydney game to hold on to second spot?

I doubt very much as a club we would be happy with conceding some soft goals in the last. 
I would hate to play Sydney at the SCG and so would the club. 

Leave it out. Just destroyed a fellow contender in their home deck. Smiles all round

[In Harmes Way 7,617]

Regulation 10 goal belting

Im off to the veil of negativity thread

[Mr Steve 3,820]

OK it's 35 points but increase by about two points for every goal the Saints kick. ie if the Saints kick ten goals the difference becomes about 50 to 55 points.

Are you serious?

(PS not sure about the premise of your argument anyway. We're 7-0 on the road, whilst 5 of our 6 losses this year have been at the G, including to Sydney).

Finals is a different ball game. Not to mention we want the home ground and home crowd advantage. After missing out last year I think we want our fans at the G cheering the boys on. 

[Stiff Arm 4,415]

3 more wins

3 more

[Pennant St Dee 11,517]

Players beating the chest together in the room after the game. Jonesy was talking about that on the radio today, he said it was a team thing that the focus was in 2021 keeping the opposition below 68 points

[Sydee 3,679]

A COMPLETE SHELLACKING

Ah ……… that’s what loading / periodisation looks like!  You bloody Rippa!

Does this mean the curse is broken? 

I could be getting my narratives mixed up.

[Mazer Rackham 14,970]

HA HA HA

If they make a movie of this game it will be called "BACKFIRE".

They come out with their hard man act, against guys like Viney, May, Harmes ... none of our guys will shirk a push and shove and even big lumbering old Benny Brown doesn't take a backward step. Even the boy who's still in high school (probably) won't back down from a skirmish.

What did they think was going to happen???

It was good to see in the first two minutes our pressure was on.

And what was this new thing ... low hard forward entries in space to leading forwards? Since when has that been part of football? I congratulate whoever invented that. We should keep doing it.

Hitting our straps at exactly the right time of year.

GO DEMONS!!!

How massive were Jackson and Rivers in their 50th matches?!

Swan win we play the swan, if the saints and the Pies win we play the Pies.

What is with Jonathan Brown and his narrative of us going after Zorko all night?

Bloke is deluded, Zorko was a [censored] from the first contest

Why it has nothing to do with it, we achieved a win, players reaction with the chest beating means we clearly achieved our target of keeping them below a certain score.

you ever had anything to do with footy at a decent level and when you’re way ahead you start managing your players

Big win

no injuries

top 4

Good night but others always need to whinge

[Red But Mostly Blue 4,032]

Great to see Bowey bank another win, too!

Rivers finally fit and confident in his knee is massive

His sidestep and agility is huge at half back

Our last four matches have been against top 8 sides, three of whom have been playing for top 4. How much more different are finals going to be?

Tonight we were underdogs and you yourself acknowledged pre-match it was supposed to be a tight one.

Reacting like this after we've belted our literal contender for 2nd spot is silly.

If we'd just played North, sure, be upset with junk time goals.

[adonski 9,300]

One of Rivers' best games

Looks like he can finally run again
