Yeah. We had randoms sitting in front and behind us all night in N53. Dees and Cats supporters. They would sit for a quarter and then be replaced by other randoms. 

Is because the MCG no longer checks tickets. It's appalling. I don't know what they can be thinking.

    If you set 2021 as the standard you will be disappointed. That season was elite. 

    Do you think we are a contender in 2023 or not?

    We weren't, we lost our two finals.

    I think we need to be putting more score on the board for us to be a genuine contender. 

    It is simply not sustainable for our defence having to continually keep the opposition scores less than our own when we aren’t scoring heavily ourselves.

    Do you all think Danger would have made a difference?

    As he wasn't there it doesn't  matter.  but think about all the games in the past when the opponent had key players out and we thought it was our chance and some random would pop up and dominate us.   So you play the best the opportunity can put up to us.  And we beat them.

    Chris Scott is one of the main reasons that I hate Geelong with the fire of a thousand suns. 
    He is the single most arrogant, self righteous, ignorant piece of trash in the AFL. 
    What a sore loser.

    Embarrassing game day thread as always. So little faith in the boys. 
     

    Great match. Great result. And eat [censored] Geelong 👏🏼

    Except my stuff in the gameday thread. That was just class, like Windsor.

    I agree with him for out team 5-2 ism good enough, we should have been 6-1 (Sydney were good) I take it saying with our talent, we should be at the top and we needed to show it tonight and we did.  Go Dees.

    Looks like we're watching in tandem. 

    We apparently haven't been good enough in the last 3 years for the quality of the list. 

    I know we've had two straight set exits but 3 15+ win seasons isn't too bad.

    He's overrated apparently to some bloke named picket fairy on here.

    I sat next to demonland royalty tonight, incl @picket fence, @Bitter but optimistic and @Biffen. 

    I think you'll find picket is taking the [censored] most of the time with his comments.

    I was, however, most concerned that he 'conveniently' left his cards at home and only brought cash. And very little of that too!

    It's fair to say that the MCG cleaners will spend considerable time and gurney pressure working on the area we were sitting

    Sure. Presumably so did our 3 extra days rest.

    Maybe Bowey, Salem or Melksham would have too?

    Well where Danger is concerned I actually don't think he would have made a difference.

    Unless he did his forward thing and gave us something to think about I think our defensive structure was set for anyone they would have run through their midfield tonight.

    I don't often delight in other people's misery but beating a Scott brother always feels good.

    Yes, it’s a pity that WCE did not spoil the dons party in the west. Even a draw would’ve been hilarious.

    Scott-enfreude?

    Personally I loved watching Scott have a post-game sulk.

    Can't help thinking that Geelong fans must really, really hate us by now.

    I mean... really. We 'stole' their minor premiership, humiliated (Correction: abjectly humiliated) them in a preliminary final, and even plinked them out of the 2018 finals, and now we've busted their winning streak and possibly their whole fragile momentum.

    And on every occasion it was flu or some other tragedy.

    Can it please also be us who have finally cracked their shell of invulnerability and ended their era?

    It’s going to be hard to beat for the GOTY I reckon. That degree of difficulty on that was off the charts.

    you mean a Germ gem!

    5-2 was good enough with our injuries and draw!

    of course i wanted to deefeat Lions n swans but we were without Kozalenko You Beauty! due to Kozzi's lack of discipline.

    Germ only thinks of life from view along Hypocrite Hwy - the Family Club which promoted toughness but it was legalised thuggery IMO  (Germ, Dipper, Ayres, Jeans the leaders - did I miss anyone like Tuck?).

    Germ from one awful club and he has no idea of current footy tactics!

    Great win. Nothing more satisfying than knocking off Geelong.

    Lever and May will probably go down as our two best key defenders in history.

    what about Sud n Biff?

    did Fritta look to put ball into goal rectangle with hope someone run on and kick it thru and happenstance "kicked in"?

    Haven’t had the pleasure yet of actually watching it. I’d be surprised (disappointed) if he didn’t make mention of having to travel to the G as another reason why they just lost.  
    (I’m guessing our next home game against the kitty litter will be in 2028 at the earliest.) GO DEES

    • 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.
