I couldn’t watch the game because unfortunately I’m cruising through the Mediterranean, currently floating off the coast of Sorrento. Can’t wait to see the replay.

There’s not really any point to this story. Just gloating.

    6 disposals from Spargo resulted in 2 goals, 1 goal assist, 3 score involvements. Every touch led to a score.

    Just FYI I'm pretty sure the goal assist and the 2 goals all count as score involvements.

    A great game and a great win!

    A wonderful debut game from Jacob van Rooyen.

    Glad we had a win for Clayton Oliver's 150th game!

     

     

    Hopefully Ben Brown's back is ok?

     

    Bring on West Coast next week!

     

    GO DEMONS!!!! 🔴🔵👹

    As a Melbournian who nowadays finds themselves in the strange land of Sydney... I've picked out an outfit in red and blue to show up in to the office tomorrow  😁  Scarf as the finishing touch, of course

    Cannot believe how comfortable I felt from the outset at the game today, a rare feeling. The entire team busted their asses and I could throw a blanket over votes.

    Unbelievably rare against a team like the Swans who are traditionally relentless across the park against us.

    JVR is the first ‘true’ pack hitting forward we’ve had since Neitz and it’s a beautiful thing. Lever clearly fit this year and even better with May at his side.

    McVee compliments Bowey beautifully with ball use off half back and huge props to Grundy, Clarry and Tracc for wrestling back the stoppage issues in the second half. Couldn’t pin point a bad contributor. One of the best recent wins I can remember seeing live.

    A good team wide response to the game they served up last week.

    Midfield was much sharper today with excellent pressure and intensity. It really does make a world of difference to the team performance in the forward and back 50 arcs. The selection was spot on this week and the team was well coached on the day. Goodwin played them to their strengths and they stood up when challenged, both as a team and as individuals. 

    What to say about JVR's debut??? Really, all you could ask for. Put himself about, tackled tirelessly and kicked a few. A lot of good games in there. Chandler, Spargo, Jordon, Sparrow, Rivers, McVee and Hibberd....... lesser lights but all had telling contributions. 

    Liked Grundy's game. It improved the longer the game went on. 

    Viney will need to find some form to keep his spot. In a strongly performing midfield and with depth knocking on the door, you need to be 'on' every week. 

    A lot to like from this game.

    Kossie back next week??? Who do you take out of that side for him? Tough decisions to make. The performance of the small forwards this week shows what my lie ahead if he walks at the end of the season. I would have him in the team next week and want him to sign on for another couple of seasons at least but today's performance gives me high hopes for the future.

    Nice one Boys!

    If you were Kossie why would you walk? He may not be paid quite as much as some of the lower sides would pay him, but he would be very well paid. You just need to look at Jackson at Fremantle to see how very good players can become rapidly irrelevant if they are also not in very good teams. I’m sure Goodie and the boys would be pointing that out to him. I’d be staggered if he walked….

    Fully concur with a lot of other posters regarding the performance of the team.  How exciting are our young uns!

    For Langdon - although it didn't pay off with the big 6 points multiple times, it was really good to see him having an attacking mindset.  Three behinds ain't a bad effort for a winger, we just need to get Choco to help convert them in future!  Hunter was fantastic of course, clearly back up and running now he's out of the Doghouse (both literally and figuratively).

    Agreed re slotting at leaat one of the three.  Also the last one running in, he had 2 to 3 loosish options ahead with an OTT handball if he lowered his vision.

    Easy to say from the bleaches and much harder to pull off under heat but i would be surprised if that doesn't receive a minor mention as part of his review on Monday.

    Trying to find some media write ups. The Sun has nothing on our game even though it was a smashing of last years grand finalist. and the Age has a small article hidden away

    god knows if we lost by 50 we’d be on the back page!

    After Clarrie streamed through the middle to kick his first goal a guy in the crowd near me stood up and did the Clarrie finger point around the crowd. Classic!

    • PREGAME: Brisbane

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.

      It’s game day and the Demons are chasing a fourth straight win as we take on the high flying Hawks at the G. After decades of being tormented by the Hawks the Dees will be keen to extend their 7 year dominance over Hawthorn.

    • NON-MFC: Round 09

      Round 9 kicks off out west with the Dockers hosting a Collingwood side resting several stars. Fremantle need to make a statement on their home deck after some disappointing form on the road, while the Magpies will be keen to maintain their Top 2 position. Friday night sees a must-win clash between two sides desperate to stay in touch with the eight. St Kilda have shown glimpses while Carlton are clinging to relevance after a flat start to the season. Saturday’s twilight game at Marvel pits the Bombers against a struggling Sydney outfit. Essendon can’t afford another close match against a lower-ranked side, while the Swans risk sliding down the ladder even further. Up in Darwin, the fourth-placed Suns will look to extend their stay in the top four. The Bulldogs have hit their stride with three big wins on the trot and will be very keen to consolidate on their momentum. The always fiery Showdown looms as pivotal for both clubs. Adelaide are eyeing a spot in the Top 4 with a win, while Port Adelaide’s season could slip away if they drop another game and fall further behind the pack. Sunday begins with a yawn fest between Richmond and West Coast. The Tigers need to bank the points to stay clear of the bottom two, while the Eagles are still chasing their first win of the year. The Giants face one of the league’s toughest road trips as they travel to GMHBA Stadium to face the Cats. With GWS at risk of a third straight loss, Geelong will be eager to consolidate their position inside the eight and start their climb up the ladder. The round wraps up with the top-of-the-table Lions heading to Ninja Stadium to take on the second-last Roos. The Lions should easily take care of the struggling Roos who might be powerless against the best in the comp. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?
