not a vintage performance but we got the 4 points. that's all that matters

umpiring not good. so blatantly biased. 

looks like May pulled up ok. played well and totally vindicated decision to select him, particularly first half.

4-1 is a great start to the season. we're in a great chance this year folks make no mistake.

Go Dees.

    Never had the misfortune. Can't imagine it'd be fun if you needed to force one out

    Said pregame I didn't care how it looked, just wanted the 4 points and no injuries. 

    Really annoyed at Kozzie tbh. His lack of discipline really hurt us in the sf against Carlton last year and he still does dumb stuff like that. 

    Still very pleased overall though

    I reckon we ran out of petrol off a 5 day break.  Did enough to win, then shut it down.  I’ll take the 8 points and roll on.

    Picket doesn’t seem to have learned anything from his last suspension. 

    Looks like he might miss a week again. 

    He needs to learn from his mistakes.

    That certainly wasn’t pretty and a lot of players well down but that is a great result.

    No reward for our tackling.

    Well done backline.

    Adelaide, mostly individuals, trying to win it by themselves.

    Absolutely. I totally wrote him off at the start of the year, he is looking so bloody solid.

    Good to win in different ways. Kicking for goal was very ordinary tonight. 

    Good team effort. Loved Howes in the last.

    Petracca best on ground.

    Fritta three goals in third.

    McVee in first half.

    Well we definitely know how to win ugly.

    Lets hope for a change and turn it back in to poetry next week

    We were absolutely cooked in the last. We put the foot down in the third knowing we would run out of gas in the last. That last quarter was just professional defensive slog. Brilliant. Don’t underestimate how tough these two games were.

    Just hung on. Our talls helped out with some last gasp marking. We were tired from a frantic port game.

    Job done.

    Huge games from Trac and Maysie.

    Jibba nails those two first half sitters and it doesn't even get close. 

    Poor old BT sounded so deflated at the end. 😂

    • REPORT: Brisbane

      “Max Gawn has been the heart and soul of the Dees for years now, but this recent recovery from a terrible start has been driven by him. He was everywhere again, and with the game in the balance, he took several key marks to keep the ball in the Dees forward half.” - The Monday Knee Jerk Reaction: Round Ten Of course, it wasn’t the efforts of one man that caused this monumental upset, but rather the work of the coach and his assistants and the other 22 players who took the ground, notably the likes of Jake Melksham, Christian Petracca, Clayton Oliver and Kozzie Pickett but Max has been magnificent in taking ownership of his team and its welfare under the fire of a calamitous 0-5 start to the season. On Sunday, he provided the leadership that was needed to face up to the reigning premier and top of the ladder Brisbane Lions on their home turf and to prevail after a slow start, during which the hosts led by as much as 24 points in the second quarter. Titus O’Reily is normally comedic in his descriptions of the football but this time, he was being deadly serious. The Demons have come from a long way back and, although they still sit in the bottom third of the AFL pack, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel as they look to drive home the momentum inspired in the past four or five weeks by Max the Magnificent who was under such great pressure in those dark, early days of the season.

    • CASEY: Southport

      The Southport Sharks came to Casey. They saw and they conquered a team with 16 AFL-listed players who, for the most part, wasted their time on the ground and failed to earn their keep. For the first half, the Sharks were kept in the game by the Demons’ poor use of the football, it’s disposal getting worse the closer the team got to its own goal and moreover, it got worse as the game progressed. Make no mistake, Casey was far and away the better team in the first half, it was winning the ruck duels through Tom Campbell’s solid performance but it was the scoreboard that told the story.

    • PREGAME: Sydney

      Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?
