The Demons showed the ANZAC Spirit in the final quarter to overrun Richmond on ANZAC Eve by 18 points at the MCG. By the end of the round they should be back in the Top 3.

Rooooooooo

It's not how, it's how many! 

Van Rooyen I love you.

Van Match Winner.

Kanga Kanga Kanga the difference in the end.

Chandler was massive and Judd just knows what to do. Hooray for youth!

We have some issues but I'll take any win in Round 6.

Please just retire Riewoldt. Always kills us. 

MFC - bloody bloody frustrating

JVR - He has arrived

Take the points, don’t talk about the game again.

exceptfor the rooter! And May needs to respect his opponents cos he got beaten badly.

Van Rooyen is going to be a genuine star for us, how many young forwards have a quiet one for three quarters and turn it around in a matter of a quarter. 

Gotta be mark of the year contender. 

 

You can try and Booo....but all youll hear is ROOOOOOOOOO !!!

Max and Lever 18 marks.

Makes a difference. 

Jvr turns it on at the right time.

Umps go and get...

Tonight showed us how close the comp is right now. True grit from 25 down.

If there’s one moment to stand out from tonight, it was Hunter winning a clutch ball on the Members’ wing just before 3/4 time to set up the Oliver goal on the siren. The roar after Oliver’s goal was the loudest I’ve heard here since the Wattsy 2017 QB goal. 

I cannot believe we won that game. Apart from an increasingly good last quarter, our game play, skills, and decision making were as poor as they have been in 3 years. 

Take a bow Jack Viney - epic game in every way.

And welcome to the big time JVR.

Brown's gotta come in to protect JVR and/or Petty

Not sure only 2 key defenders is sustainable

Great game by Viney

Very odd coaching to have Gawn ruck to majority of the game when we needed a seasoned body up forward

Win's a win. The first three quarters were far from enjoyable but I like how we responded in the last.

Van Rooyen was incredible late. Looks a gun. Chandler's fast becoming one of my favourite players. He's tough, quick and super composed. Love him.

How appropriate for Jack to get the medal. He goes to war every week.

Those who don’t believe in Viney, he may not be our captain but there is no better leader at our club.

Couldn't have been anyone other than Viney. Tough as nails and a constant presence even when we were getting beat.

We take the win obviously, but there are some things we need to look closer at. Our backline was poor, still too much millionaire football, and our forward structure is a mess. 

Having said that, positives: wrestling the game back, JVR and what a crowd!!

Learn from this and take the W onwards

Go Dees 🔵🔴

Still worried about how we handle ground balls in our back half.. we just cannot stop the opposition. 
Wins wallpaper cracks.

Gutsy win in the end but a few things to work on as well.

JVR is heading to cult status.

Viney was immense and a deserved winner.

If JVR doesn’t get you excited, nothing will. 
 

Plenty to work on still but gee it’s good to wrestle back momentum and grind a win out. 
 

Judd ‘knuckles’ McVee is some find too, love his composure

our best and worst is still alarmingly far apart. Thank god it’s still only round 6.

Jack Viney best on field, Brett Rosebury must feel ripped off.
