Did we all enjoy Augie March playing during the pregame? They’re arguably the most underrated Australian band ever. I guess they had to sing I was only 19 as it’s fitting, but their original music is quite something else. 

They sure are, I thought it was Redgum.

    I’d say it was 2:1 Dees to Tigers. The Melbourne supporters came, and they really brought the noise. The booing at the umpiring early was only out done by the cheering in the last.

    I thought we sounded great last night. Was a really proud night for the footy club and it’s supporters.

    Thanks that. That's a great effort and very surprising.  Couldn't tell by the noise on telly though except for the Roo cheer.

    I reckon the bombers are a real show. 

    I suspect they will look to go even more high octane than the pies.

    Dangerous because fast is in the pies' wheelhouse. 

    But they are coming off two very physical games, including having to travel to the gabba and play in humidity. 

    And their game last week against the saints was brutal.

    Added to that they have some big outs, including their best two rucks - giving the bombers an edge for talls.

    Something we can learn from Collingwood (and how it pains me to admit) is that we can embrace "ugly" footy. They move the ball forward at all cost, no matter if they kick, hand ball, slap the ball, dribble... Just relentless desire to gain territory.

    Preferred our pregame to what they had today.

    Our pregame is the story every year now. We’ve basically stolen the Anzac Day narrative in the media with a much better spectacle.

    Yeah, the darkness and the fire make it extra poignant.

    Go Weids !

    Don’t like both teams but can’t stand Collingwood so hoping for a bag for Weids & an Essendon win.

    Ugh, watching two teams you hate so you “barrack” for the one who you hate less but you forget and you laugh when they mess up then you remember you’re supposed to be barracking for them. It’s exhausting.

    Impressive by the Bombers so far.

    Collingwood struggling to move the ball quickly.

    No way it was round the neck

    They missed an earlier one over the shoulder so a bit of an evener upper

    • REPORT: Brisbane

      “Max Gawn has been the heart and soul of the Dees for years now, but this recent recovery from a terrible start has been driven by him. He was everywhere again, and with the game in the balance, he took several key marks to keep the ball in the Dees forward half.” - The Monday Knee Jerk Reaction: Round Ten Of course, it wasn’t the efforts of one man that caused this monumental upset, but rather the work of the coach and his assistants and the other 22 players who took the ground, notably the likes of Jake Melksham, Christian Petracca, Clayton Oliver and Kozzie Pickett but Max has been magnificent in taking ownership of his team and its welfare under the fire of a calamitous 0-5 start to the season. On Sunday, he provided the leadership that was needed to face up to the reigning premier and top of the ladder Brisbane Lions on their home turf and to prevail after a slow start, during which the hosts led by as much as 24 points in the second quarter. Titus O’Reily is normally comedic in his descriptions of the football but this time, he was being deadly serious. The Demons have come from a long way back and, although they still sit in the bottom third of the AFL pack, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel as they look to drive home the momentum inspired in the past four or five weeks by Max the Magnificent who was under such great pressure in those dark, early days of the season.

    • CASEY: Southport

      The Southport Sharks came to Casey. They saw and they conquered a team with 16 AFL-listed players who, for the most part, wasted their time on the ground and failed to earn their keep. For the first half, the Sharks were kept in the game by the Demons’ poor use of the football, it’s disposal getting worse the closer the team got to its own goal and moreover, it got worse as the game progressed. Make no mistake, Casey was far and away the better team in the first half, it was winning the ruck duels through Tom Campbell’s solid performance but it was the scoreboard that told the story.

    • PREGAME: Sydney

      Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?
