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

    Thought Disco was stiff not to win the Anzac medal i reckon 1 goal would have sealed it, but can't begrudge Big Maxy winning it.

    May and Lever absolutely sensational tonight. T-Mac did his bit and I really liked Rivers' game.

    It is the defence that this team is built on

    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.

    Awful game.

    Play like that next week and we'll get smoked. Throw the highlights tape in the bin and move on.

    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.

    Taj looked like he was running on a treadmill in that 2nd half. Wonder if being sub every week has dented his fitness.

    At least we don't have to put up with stupid Richmond fans on the way back to the train/tram/car park

    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 head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.

      It’s game day and the Demons are chasing a fourth straight win as we take on the high flying Hawks at the G. After decades of being tormented by the Hawks the Dees will be keen to extend their 7 year dominance over Hawthorn.

    • NON-MFC: Round 09

      Round 9 kicks off out west with the Dockers hosting a Collingwood side resting several stars. Fremantle need to make a statement on their home deck after some disappointing form on the road, while the Magpies will be keen to maintain their Top 2 position. Friday night sees a must-win clash between two sides desperate to stay in touch with the eight. St Kilda have shown glimpses while Carlton are clinging to relevance after a flat start to the season. Saturday’s twilight game at Marvel pits the Bombers against a struggling Sydney outfit. Essendon can’t afford another close match against a lower-ranked side, while the Swans risk sliding down the ladder even further. Up in Darwin, the fourth-placed Suns will look to extend their stay in the top four. The Bulldogs have hit their stride with three big wins on the trot and will be very keen to consolidate on their momentum. The always fiery Showdown looms as pivotal for both clubs. Adelaide are eyeing a spot in the Top 4 with a win, while Port Adelaide’s season could slip away if they drop another game and fall further behind the pack. Sunday begins with a yawn fest between Richmond and West Coast. The Tigers need to bank the points to stay clear of the bottom two, while the Eagles are still chasing their first win of the year. The Giants face one of the league’s toughest road trips as they travel to GMHBA Stadium to face the Cats. With GWS at risk of a third straight loss, Geelong will be eager to consolidate their position inside the eight and start their climb up the ladder. The round wraps up with the top-of-the-table Lions heading to Ninja Stadium to take on the second-last Roos. The Lions should easily take care of the struggling Roos who might be powerless against the best in the comp. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?
