How can I enjoy a 7 goal win so little?

I was feeling the same but then I compared the game to 2013 and found some gratitude for the win.

I thought Max was best, Turner great, Windsor keeps on trying... but what was that first half..

Laurie made the most of his limited opportunities.

Go Dees

The first half was diabolical but I thought that might happen coming out of the bye. We overpowered them at the end and ended up winning comfortably. Max is a bloody legend, and I absolutely loved Disco Turner's efforts. I'm also surprised at whoever said above that Tmac should be dropped to put Petty back? Tmac was sensational and Petty has been really bad this season, we should have traded him last year for overs to Adelaide.

the top end

Disco is a much-needed shot in the arm. 

Lever & May, our “bickering couple”*, were immense. 

Howes, like McVee last year, is coming along really well. 

Max just generally plays a great game of footy. I don’t know how much he has left in him, but I miss him already. 
 

The midrange 

- Langdon, Pickett, Chandler, JVR, Frisch, Trac, Billings, Windsor, Woewodin and McVee all showed us the full spectrum of their potential. More lighter colours though, please. 
 

the low end

- One of the poorest games I’ve seen from Sparrow. I back him, but he better be down on himself after that one. 

- Can’t believe I’m saying this, but joining Tom down here is ANB, Viney and Oliver. But I know these guys will hate being down here, so I expect to see some frenetic redemption. Oliver clearly has the bigger hurdles though. I swear to god he’s carrying his hand in a strange manner. 
 

- Rivers**, Petty & JVR, both MIA. 

And a shout-out to Laurie, for bagging a couple of cheeky ones. Hard to gauge his overall form after such a short (but effective) stint. 
 

I could be wrong about all of this because tonight’s been a bit of a tribute to Laphroig whiskey. 
 

*the only bit of commentary I’ve chuckled at amongst a sea of brain-dead “quips”. The commentary was utterly disgraceful at the beginning of the 3rd quarter. BT and Bradshaw just waffling on one of their tangents-from-Aldi, and completely ignoring the play. They should be pulled up by the network for such slack amateurism. 

**way too harsh on Riv.

- Petty to return to the back line were he belongs and contributes.

- BBB back forward 

- tmac out of the team

- Young Woey back to Casey

- Trac, Oliver,  Viney need a big week next week, playing well below par

why bring Brown back in?

he has had 9 touches total and 1 goal from the past two games

Fair dinkum, not invested, that's why he got crunched going back into a pack.

Everyone else, repeat after me 1,2,3, We trust the match committee- Turner was a great selection.

Yep

Was it really necessary to sign JVR for another FOUR years? Surely two would’ve been enough? Not saying he won’t make it, but seems a bit over the top for what he’s produced this year, another 5 years ahead, good luck to him 

We should probably just put him on the market now and pick up a key forward from another team.

It’s so good to see Clarry so healthy and engaged. We don’t hear him talk a lot, I’ve noticed a lot more of it lately. And he’s been good. Love it ❤️

“if we play like this against the Cats…”

that talk is nonsense 

each game is so different. Tigers tried to shut us down. Cats will back themselves 

I’ll back us all day against the pussycats

Boys played like the ball was a cake of soap and the turnovers were atrocious. 

If we play like that against Geelong and the blues we will get smashed. 

Need a massive improvement to be a chance of winning the next 2 weeks. 

Despite how bad we played we still won. 

Go Dees

I also think Petty hasn’t quite looked like he has full confidence in his body since he has come back. The not invested narrative is emotional rubbish

Thought our second half was very good. Geez we're defending well at the moment. If we can defend like that against the Cats and the Blues I’m confident we can win. The wheel is going to turn for Petty I think and we really uncovered a gem with Disco.

Also, I’m pretty happy with my prediction pre-game if I don’t say so myself!

Hows all the 'supporters' hand wringing at half time like the world was ending. Turn off your phones in future.

Walked it in. 

Valuable experience for a heap of the young guys infront of a big crowd. 

No doubt room for improvement but bank the wins and keep working to get better

    The Demons once again went goalless in the last quarter and were run down by the Lions at the Gabba in the final minutes of the match ultimately losing the game by 5 points as their percentage dips below 100 for the first time since 2020.

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last

    LIFE SUPPORT by Whispering Jack

    With Melbourne’s season hanging on a thread, Saturday night’s game against North Melbourne unfolded like a scene in a hospital emergency department.  The patient presented to the ward in a bad way. Doctors and nurses pumped life-saving medication into his body and, in the ensuing half hour, he responded with blood returning to his cheeks as he stirred back to life. After a slight relapse, the nurses pumped further medication into the bloodstream and the prognosis started looking good as the
