Supreme_Demon 4,144 Posted July 30, 2023 Posted July 30, 2023 A highly entertaining game. I was worried at times! Glad the Demons got the job done. A great win! GO YOU MIGHTY DEMONS!!! 🔴🔵👹 7 Quote
Boots and all 1,000 Posted July 30, 2023 Posted July 30, 2023 We can kick scores with a more mobile forward line. I am very pleased that Goody pulled the trigger on Petty forward and Tomlinson staying back. Again Smith came in and was effective and played his role. 2 Quote
layzie 34,528 Posted July 30, 2023 Posted July 30, 2023 Our side is showing some great resilience at the moment and that never say die attitude. I think we're in a much better headspace at the moment than a month ago and we are evolving as a side as well. I used to think we wouldn't stand up in a shoot out but they are bucking the trend there! 6 Quote

Petty and JVR were [censored] unreal. Maxy on that performance alone should be a 7 time All Australian. That was [censored] nuts Give Melksham another contract. He's best 22 for the rest of the year. Go you [censored] dees! A really solid performance. What a win! Quote

The toiges did us for pressure and intensity early and had our measure. But .... along came Max ... big bad Max the mountain!!! You will NEVER see a better performance in the ruck - EVER !!!! A number of other top performances but I must single out Petty. He played more like a forward than any other forward ( bar Fitta ) than we have played this year. A very tough game - fortunate to have Norf next week. There is a feeling in the Bitter nethers that says, " this is our year" ! GO DEES !!!!! Good post Uncle. Credit to Richmond who swang all day. Props to Petty. Maybe the fwd line is fixed. But Max was on another level after half time. Vintage Gawn. Can't be stopped. That win is a strong message to the other clubs. 9 Quote
Bring-Back-Powell 15,555 Posted July 30, 2023 Posted July 30, 2023 In the pre game thread I hoped Petty would kick 2 goals and take 4 contested marks. Will have to watch the replay to assess whether he met expectations. 4 18 Quote
YearOfTheDees 3,266 Posted July 30, 2023 Posted July 30, 2023 Wish they would start these games a little earlier so we can see the song after. Live Ladder now has us finishing 2nd but what would live ladder know. 1 Quote

Greendale 350 Posted July 30, 2023 Posted July 30, 2023 We are timing our run to the flag perfectly. Can't expect perfection, but the momentum is real 17 2 Quote
Deeoldfart 8,201 Posted July 30, 2023 Posted July 30, 2023 EPIC upon EPIC!! We are on the march to September, and in it up to our necks!! We have sorted our forward structure …. as Goody said we would! Who says Max is no longer the AA ruckman? Pffft! Go Dees!! We all love you! 5 Quote
rpfc 29,030 Posted July 30, 2023 Posted July 30, 2023 That’s footy! Hate to be that guy but (like I suggested) they left the press at home and just let the boys play and it was fun! And actually, you know, HELPFUL FOR EMBEDDING A BATTLIN’ FORWARD LINE WITH CONFIDENCE AND PURPOSE. Keep doing that the rest of the year and we will finish wherever in the top 4 with a forward line that knows itself. 6 Quote

Everything he touched turned to gold. All in all, I'm thrilled with that win. That was a very high pressure game and we held up brilliantly. Still got another four games left but I'm much more confident heading into the finals than I was this time last year. Just imagine, Clarrie and Fritta are to come into that team to strengthen it...truly! 10 Quote
DubDee 26,676 Posted July 30, 2023 Posted July 30, 2023 Always trust Goody and the SC they reward the right players in Petty they see a gun key fwd when many of us doubted it. what a win!! 8 Quote
