After a fast start the Demons took control and despite a more spirited second half by their opponents they banked another four points winning their fourth game in row as they downed the Hawks by 54 points at the MCG. 
 

Got what we deserved 

WHAT HAPPENED TO TRAC???

First half, good.

Second half, thinking about Port Adelaide.

Spargo can kick longer than 40 metres. 

Can't believe I'm going to have to watch Sparrow have 12 touches a week @ 28% efficiency for the next 8 years

We had the game iced at half time and then took our foot off the pedal - not ideal -but there it is.

Dorks came back hard but Petracca, Oliver, Viney , Max lifted as required.

Yes we produced some bloopers .... that is football ... not the reason for suicide that some of the negative Nancies on this site seem to find.

Take the points and take the percentage and move towards September.

PS 1. I'm waiting for the day Kossie actually hangs on to one of those speccys  - it will be mark of the century.

PS 2. No doubt who Jason Dunstall used to play for !

PS 3. My ideal finish to this evening will be watching the paper baggers get a jolly good reaming.

An uninspiring game and we move on.

Did we learn much about the forward line

Hopefully Trac is ok, happened very late in the game.

Petracca hobbling. Hope he's ok. Didn't look great. I notice he's being interviewed on fox. What's he saying?

We smashed them. Move on to next week.

Another 10 goal win game against a team that absolutely bashes us into the ground.

Teams are absolutely throwing everything at us and we're still winning by 10 goals. It looks uninspiring but these are hard fought wins

Now to do it against decent oppositon. Freo, Port, Carlton, Collingwood to come.

An absolute amazing amount of seagulls tonight I was gobsmacked. 

He's taken the boot off. He can hardly walk

“Full credit to Hawthorn”, “one game at a time”, “gotta keep doing the one percenters”.

I hope it’s a corky not a foot. Limping badly.

Looked ankle. Was hobbling bad

Picked up 6%, big wins are over-rated. Not far away from clicking big time.

What happened to Trac?

Ankle roll in the Sicily tackle. Spoke to Ben Dixon after the game and seemed ok. Should be good to go next week.

Tracc might be out next week by the looks of that unfortunately

Dunstall obviously hasn't forgotten about Earl's knee.

Ankle sprain, foot got stuck under Sicily in the last 30 seconds.

Twisted foot but he is fine.

Shame that Petty got subbed. Look like he was on the way to his break out game up forward. 

Well Petty has shown us why Goody perservered.

A lacklustre win despite the score somehow. 

Props to Jv, Oliver and Trac.
