A highly entertaining game.

 

I was worried at times!

Glad the Demons got the job done.

A great win!

    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.

    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!

    Yes Bitters.... that game went a long way to helping solve the forward conundrum

    I will enjoy the replay

    Holy [censored] that was one exciting game to watch!

    We just griiiiiiinnnnd them away!

    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!

    An intense high pressure cracking game !!!

    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.

    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.

    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.

    We are timing our run to the flag perfectly. Can't expect perfection, but the momentum is real

    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!

    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.

    That dropped mark he will be lucky to hold his place next week.

    How good was Petty! I was sceptical of playing him forward but I've changed my mind. 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!

    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!!

    A lot of it is stuff you don't even notice until you watch a replay.

      It's Game Day and the Demons have another opportunity to spoil another team's finals aspirations as they take on the Hawks at the MCG. What do you want to see from the boys today?

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

      The Dogs reigned supreme in 2018 with an inaugural AFLW premiership cup and the Demons matched this feat by winning the cup as the Season 7 2022 champions.Meggs wasn’t born when the Doggies won their first VFL premiership cup against the Demons in 1954. Covid prevented many Demons fans from legally witnessing the victorious 2021 AFL Grand Final cup performance between the Demons and the Bulldogs, but we all grin when remembering those magnificent seven third quarter goals.

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Hawthorn and Melbourne. Two teams with impressive form from last week but with seasons that are travelling on different trajectories meet in Saturday’s twilight game for what could well be the most intriguing contest of the AFL’s penultimate round. Sadly, the game has been relegated to that unappealing time slot in the weekend when Melburnians are typically preoccupied with activities other than football. It falls between the morning's shopping, afternoon sport and recreation, and Saturday night fever. A time usually reserved for relatively insignificant events but this one is not a nothingburger for either of the clubs or their fans.

    • AFLW: 2025 Season Preview

      Ten seasons. Eighteen teams. With the young talent pathway finally fully connected, Women’s Australian Rules football is building momentum and Season 2025 promises to be the best yet. In advance of Season 10, the AFL leadership has engaged in candid discussions with all clubs regarding strategies to boost attendance and expand fan bases. Concerningly, average attendances in 2024 were 2,660 fans per match, with the women’s game incurring an annual loss of approximately $50 million.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.
