[censored] me that was useless.

[Bitter but optimistic 22,289]

Well we supporters demanded a statement tonight ... and the boys delivered!!!!

[layzie 34,528]

We did it! 😀

CLINICAL

5 day break. 90 points.

Meh. It'll do ;)

Excellent win

Definite percentage booster 

but … only the Dees would allow 3 soft goals in the last 3 minutes to reduce margin from 108 to 90 points!!! 

[Jaded No More 68,976]

Never been this relaxed at the footy. 
Good clinical win. No injuries. Percentage boost. Love it. Move on.

Trac & Chandler were brilliant tonight 

[adonski 13,280]

Good to see Brayshaw with a 2022-esque calibre game from him tonight

Chandler keeps getting better!

[Green Demon 822]

Carlton beat us.

[Demon Jack 7,196]

Chandler is a jet.

Absolutely nailed his role tonight. 20+ touches and 3 goals as a small forward is as elite as you'll see.

 

[Hopeful Demon 1,541]

Can't complain with that. I loved our killer instinct tonight. Even when we were were up by 60+ points we still had that desire to pile on the goals. 

Oliver and Petracca's chemistry was as good as it was in 2021/22. Our forwardline has been functioning really well lately. Chandler is an absolute gem and Fritsch and Pickett were electrifying. 

If giving up a 100 point lead is the only negative, then you know we've had a pretty damn good night.

Rivers was amazing.
Nibbler, Ed, Grundy all excellent. And Clarry with a lazy 37. 

[Demon Disciple 12,537]

At least the players showed up, cos the supporters definitely didn’t. Shocking crowd for a club with almost 60k members.

Goodwin was so happy he high fived his security guards

[DemonOX 8,857]

Chandler is an absolute rippa. 

Great game and good to see his improvement this season. 

90 point win off a 5 day break, I will take that. 

Go Dees.

Brayshaw 29 at 100%

[Jibroni 5,058]

Just what the Dr ordered, pity Schache and JVR had quiet games.

[Big Col 1,356]

May was back in form after the caning he got in the media this week

[Red But Mostly Blue 4,632]

They say thrashings like this are boring.

Nah, I thoroughly enjoyed that. And it’s great to exact some of that punishment on the Roos and Clarko, who were both responsible for so much of our pain for many years.

The only downside was the missed 100.

Go Dees!

Was half expecting to see the team doing sprints in Yarra Park for 30 minutes when I left after the game.
