You guys at the game made a heap of noise in enemy territory.
Was proud of yas.

I loved hearing the song being sung with about one minute to go. Well done to those there tonight.

    This is just baffling. We’ve seen 3 or 4 this year and there’s absolutely no excuse for getting these so wrong.

    It was the best worst pun ever.

    I’m convinced Rozee made the Rivers tackle look worse than it actually was. That was a bullshiit decision 

    Agree, he just stopped mid tackle after the whistle and went limp, reneged in his duty of care for himself. If he’d tried to continue to stand up or use his core no way would he have gone down like that. Umpire fell for it unfortunately.

    Now we know she spoke facts!

    In this case it was a massive gale.

    Simply brilliant by the boys, but I must sat what a nasty, nasty piece work is that No 15 Rioli fellow. When we all check the replay over the weekend, see how many snipes and cheap shots he makes. Simply nasty.

    I reckon this was the worst of all of them.

    Lol @ Port feral fans. 

    I was lol-ing ‘til one of them threw a bottle of water at me from his car while I was waiting to cross at the lights. Unfortunately he was a good shot, it hit me in the head. But some decent Port supporters made sure I was ok and I ended up walking the rest of the way with them. More importantly though…

    YEAH THE MIGHTY DEES!!!

    This was one of those matches that you know already you’re never gonna forget. So, so proud of our boys.

    And so happy for Jack. ❤️💙

    That was one of the great wins.

    Made more remarkable by watching some sort of mirror footy game.

    One team dominated territory, clearnces and inside 50s. But often entering into a crowded fifty and missing key chances. Not taking full advantage of momentum.

    The other team staying in the game  absorbing pressure in the back half,entering into an open forward line and taking key chances. Taking full advantage of momentum.

    Go redlegs.

    It's like the reverse from our QF and SF last season 😅

    So that was a gifted goal from an original Dee's free kick and Dixon was given a gift for an arm chop 10 metres out when the ball was clearly punched out of his hands.

    It's not just the count, it's where they're paid.

    Anyways, one of the best grinding wins in the last 3 years. Such a great win.

    ANBs best game I reckon. Great hearing him talk about Yzes coaching in telling him to slow a little and take a breath when he has posession. His disposal has improved out of sight.

    Good teams just get it done. They belted that team song out so loudly.

    We seem to be really tight as a team and club right now.

    Put me down as a doubter. I didn't think Tmac and BBB would be fit and fast enough but wow they're making a difference.

    Absolutely brilliant win. When they got to 16 points up in the third it felt like we were hanging on by fingernails, with the time they had in their forward half, but we defended so well and when the tide turned we took full toll. 

    -2 CPs, -15 clearancss, -10 tackles despite being -36 disposals and -21 inside 50s. 99.9% chance if Port does that again this year at home they beat whoever they’re playing. For us to win despite that is a testament to the way we’ve changed how we set up and move the ball.

    On TV it felt like we retained forwards deeper to ensure we had options; it also felt like when we were at our worst we lost that shape forward of the ball.

    ANB humungous, Brown’s leading and aerial contest work was critical, Viney massive all night and Clarry’s final quarter was stunning. TMac was surprisingly good on Dixon, so much so that we felt comfortable swinging Petty forward. Lever’s intercept game was phenomenal but he and Rivers have to improve their kicking, they both made critical errors. 

    Despite all those shout outs, this was a win that didn’t have Trac, Oliver or Gawn dominating for four quarters. That of itself is massive. (Edit: the stats suggest Gawn was more dominant than I felt while watching. I thought Soldo troubled him at times. But clearly Gawn was good).

    These sorts of wins, on the road to boot, can really make something of a season.

    Ha!

    Collingwood and Port they both use the same Guernsey, and have a similar supporter base I guess... 🤣

    As critical of ANB over the journey as anyone but props to him for the game tonight. Seems the forgotten man when listening to the media post game

    Just finished watching the replay.

    Can someone tell me if that Fritsch last kick was really not a goal?

    They never show if the ball goes through the goal line before hitting the post on the opposite side of goal.

    Thats correct.

    They always ask if the entire ball has crossed the line or not.

    If it had, whether it hits the post or not, it's a goal.

    They should've gone to the ARC goal line view

    • GAMEDAY: Geelong

      It's Game Day, and reinforcements are finally arriving for the Demons—but will it be too little, too late? They're heading down the freeway to face a Cats side returning home to their fortress after two straight losses, desperate to reignite their own season. Can the Demons breathe new life into their campaign, or will it slip even further from their grasp?

    • PREVIEW: Geelong

      "It's officially time for some alarm bells. I'm concerned about the lack of impact from their best players." This comment about one of the teams contesting this Friday night’s game came earlier in the week from a so-called expert radio commentator by the name of Kane Cornes. He wasn’t referring to the Melbourne Football Club but rather, this week’s home side, Geelong.The Cats are purring along with 1 win and 2 defeats and a percentage of 126.2 (courtesy of a big win at GMHBA Stadium in Round 1 vs Fremantle) which is one win more than Melbourne and double the percentage so I guess that, in the case of the Demons, its not just alarm bells, but distress signals. But don’t rely on me. Listen to Cornes who said this week about Melbourne:- “They can’t run. If you can’t run at speed and get out of the contest then you’re in trouble.

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit.
      Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      For a brief period of time in the early afternoon of yesterday, the Casey Demons occupied top place on the Smithy’s VFL table. This was only made possible by virtue of the fact that the team was the only one in this crazy competition to have played twice and it’s 1½ wins gave it an unassailable lead on the other 20 teams, some of who had yet to play a game.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      In my all-time nightmare game, the team is so ill-disciplined that it concedes its first two goals with the courtesy of not one, but two, fifty metre penalties while opening its own scoring with four behinds in a row and losing a talented youngster with good decision-making skills and a lethal left foot kick, subbed off in the first quarter with what looks like a bad knee injury.
