After a frustratingly slow start the Demons have rocketed into the Top 3 on the ladder with a victory over the North Melbourne Kangaroos by 32 points in Hobart.

Count the cost later, enjoy the win for now.

Done. Down there, was never going to be the massacre some thought it may be.

A very shabby start - hope we've got that out of our system !!

Then the big guns said enough is enough and opened fire - Max, Viney , Petracca and Brayshaw.

...... but what about Kozzie ? 

Fair dinkum, a few moments of Kozzie magic cures much of the pain we MFC supporters have endured over the years.

I reckon it's happening this year !!!!!!

thank goodness that's over

Well we won, but finishing 3rd by percentage is going to make me very sad.

Bank the 4pts, and a little +%

Move on

I hate playing this team and I hate playing that ground. 
Glad it’s done. 

A win is a win is a win. Dreadful start but re-set well and ran out easy winners in the end.

Viney, Kozzy, Chandler Trac all very good.

JJ and Harmes didn’t do their cause any favors.

Petty’s injury the big concern. Doesn’t look good and appears he’ll have another stint on the sidelines. We’ll just have to make do as best we can and hope he can recover quickly.

Go Dees

So we ended up with a one point percentage gap to the Lions. But we got the four points .

Could have been a Pies type disaster, we stood up after a poor start.  65 point turn around

14.6 for the season. 5 straight.

GO YOU DEMONS!

Just hope Petty is not out for too long, seriously unlucky footballer with injuries

Great fightback. Nothing is coming easy to anyone at the moment. North came out all guns blazing and we slowly but professionally worked our way back into the match 

Hope Petty's injury isn't too serious.

Petty seems happy. Fingers crossed 🤞 

What a professional team we have. Can put a poor quarter behind them, north on the other hand we fazed after their poor period. Difference between the teams is big.

We'll take the 4pts and move on.

Would have been nice to have got that percentage booster we needed, but the boys got the job done after a slow start.
Hope Petty is OK. He was looking good before going off.
A Freo win, despite the death riding, would top off the weekend.

Trac was great in the interview.  We were soft at the contest early

great mentality

Just saw on the broadcast Lever seemed shocked by whatever Petty said to him

10 goal turn around. Rested our stars in the last. Move on.

Lions need to win by around 30 points?  depending on the amounts of scores...

Great way to look at it DD. 

Petty 🏥

Smith down back 🤔

Clarity / form of the fringe mids ❌

Percentage ❌

Mental preparation 🤮

Speed and skill through the middle 👎

Take the 4 points but not a good day.

 

Seriously though, Petty could injure himself in a chess tournament

Really hope Petty isn't one of those guys who laughs when he's nervous..
