Really thought Oliver was unfairly pinged a lot Tonight.

Very inconsistent umpire on htb. Hot then cold then hot

    These wins galvanise teams. 

    We stepped up and despite seemingly trying to kick ourselves out of it, did what we had to do, when we needed to do it. Highlights for me, Caleb clutch tackle and goal, and the FRIBBLER! 

    A great outcome to nab this one. I still think the Blues are more dangerous. Win that, and we are on our way. If we play with the same pressure and kick better we will cover them. 

    Proud of the grit shown by the boys.

    Go Dees 🔥

     

    But we still need to improve the kicking, it was the reason we lost against Collingwood and Carlton in the finals.

    But overall a great performance.

    Wow. Gut wrenching last quarter.

    Thank you  Jeremy.

    Max - you led us to victory.

    Lever - the rock.

    Petty - welcome back

    Langdon - you can have a rest now.

    Fritsch - how the hell you were never drafted at 18yo, I will never know. You are simply brilliant.

    Suck on that Cats. I love beating that team.

    Goal of the season to Fritsch. Magic effort to win it.

    Defensively brilliant all night. Lever superb.

    Great to see Petty clunking them and back in form.

    Goal kicking not good. Far out we nearly kicked it away.

    We’re up to our necks in it this year. Make no mistake.

    Go Dees

    A few more highlights, obviously Lever a one man fortress. Probably BOG. And so good to have Petty’s mitts back on. Once he gets the feet working again, he will be a big asset. His marks were so important. 

    watching the vision right now you can see how happy the boys are for Petts. Great to see.

    How old was he when we recruited him? 21?

    I apologise for the doom and gloom in the match thread, I just can't help it. Everything about this game pointed to another heartbreaking, self inflicted loss.

    Thank god it wasn't.

    Petty the MVP.

    We’re in the hunt for the premiership. Make no bones about it. We’re a top 4 team. 
     

    I thought Geelong would beat us tonight and I am bloody wrapped how wrong I was. 
     

    we are fixing our forward issues and there was clear evidence in that game. 
     

    Petty getting the cobwebs off.

     

    [censored] bring on the blues and let’s see how they like us this year.

    • PREGAME: Brisbane

      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?
