The Demons took the first step on their road to redemption by thrashing the Western Bulldogs in their opening match for the season to the tune of 50 points at the MCG.

 

No second half fadeout and we finished full of running 

Tomlinson outperformed expectations 

Hats off to him

is Petty really twenty-three years old?

Doggone

We have found one in Judd McVee

MAY TO PLAY AT CASEY NEXT WEEK!!!!

That final Ben Brown goal was not safe for work. 

We are sitting 2nd on the ladder overnight at least. 21 frees to 13 what the hell happened there. And we won on the MCG again.

GREAT START!

We were missing 4 of our top 10 but the rest of the boys stood up. Kozzie, Lever, Trac awesome. Judd awesome start. Great to see BBB get 4. Grundy worked a treat first up. 

BUT, what I loved was how we were still running and hungry at the end. We could easily have rested in the last 5-10 minutes. We did that a lot last year. Not tonight. We put ‘em away. 

Once the machine is firing. We get a few back, Grundy is full power, we are gonna be scary. 

Great job, boys!

 

Be a while since 4 in the middle of the song.

Trac changed the game in the second quarter I thought.
My favourite play was in the second when Grundy roved off the pack, did an underground handball to Langdon and Lingers centred it to Spargo. 

Spargs and Kozzie electric. 

Great performance. Grundy will get better with more games as he learns the tap locations. 

Just sour to lose Kozzy for a couple of weeks. 

As I said in the game day.

We own a good amount of land in the doggies head!

McVee is good, very good. I feel more comfortable with the ball in his hands than hard the side.

As Yazz sang - the only way is up!

add Viney, Ron barassi’s number, Salem and May 

 

mix slowly

put in oven

bake for 3 months

as BT says woweeeeee

 

mcVee was super handy

 

McVee looks a beauty. Moves like Ricky Petterd but looks a great kick!

Some great signs. 
 

Defence was rock-solid. Tomlinson was fantastic. Had my worries about May being out but that proved to be unfounded. Tommo deserves high praise. 
 

Maxy, best ruckman of my lifetime hands down. I’ve never seen another ruckman cause as much damage, as consistently, as he does. So adding Grundy on top of that is absurd. 
 

Couldn’t ask anymore than a 50 point win!!!

[censored] yeah lads!!

I'm putting my hand up, Tomlinson was bloody excellent!

Easy money

I thought I was the only one who thinks he's the 2nd coming of the Pet.

Luke Jackson was great in support of Gawn again but I don’t like his new look with the man bun.

I wont underestimate the Dees again this season. If you can win with four guns out against supposedly good opposition then you have significant depth. 

Great to hear Tomlinson played well.

Probably will play next Friday.May can rest up. Well done McVee. Anything about Laurie?

 

No issues with the playing surface tonight 

I’m on the Covid princess cruise ship piiiiised as a faaaasrt. Managed to see a live feed of the game. WE ARE CONTENDERS!!! I’ll be home for our next home game . Over and out. GO DEES!!!

Kozzy is a genuine superstar now. Please offer whatever he wants Tim Lamb.

Trac, Oliver and Gawn just changed the game when they decided to put their foot down.

McVee is genuinely cool and calm under the heat. With more experiences and game he'll get better and apply himself with much more confidence. Jason Taylor has unpacked another gem.

Good to see Benny Brown up and about. 4 snags is a good start

Lever was BOG down back alongside Tomlinson and Bowey.

Just an overall great team performance. 

Unfortunately Oskar Baker and Mitch Hannan are VFL standard footballers. Still amazed Baker got given another chance at AFL level.

So BBB is finished yeah?
