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.

    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

    • PREVIEW: Sydney

      The two teams competing at the MCG on Sunday afternoon have each traversed a long and arduous path since their previous encounter on a sweltering March evening in Sydney a season and a half ago. Both experienced periods of success at various times last year. The Demons ran out of steam in midseason while the Swans went on to narrowly miss the ultimate prize in the sport. Now, they find themselves outside of finals contention as the season approaches the halfway mark. The winner this week will remain in contact with the leading pack, while the loser may well find itself on a precipice, staring into the abyss. The current season has presented numerous challenges for most clubs, particularly those positioned in the middle tier. The Essendon experience in suffering a significant 91-point loss to the Bulldogs, just one week after defeating the Swans, may not be typical, but it illustrates the unpredictability of outcomes under the league’s present set up.

    • 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?

      The Demons pulled off an absolute miracle at the Gabba coming from 24 points down in the 2nd Quarter to overrun the reigning premiers the Brisbane Lions winning by 11 points and keeping their season well and truly alive.
