Me too. I've been triggered by the negativity. I enjoyed the game and enjoyed getting the win. My expectations seem to be different to many others. I understand that people use this place to vent and there is a lot of things not great right now.

Coming on here to discuss the win hasn't been a good use of my time.

Confirmed by lab as 70m by Brad Johnson post game review who was ropable and has been banging on about these for a month or more.

Staggering.

You can forgive 5m, but that was truly unforgivable.

I can think of a worse one.

That is a 40% over-estimation of the distance. 40%!  There are literally two arcs drawn on the turf marking the required distance that the umpires could look to for reference. It is inexcusable. Good on Brad Johnson for railing on this.

Clarry’s form is a huge concern....  He was stiff to give away the first 80m penalty in the history of the game it must be said. 

Believe it was 2 x 50m, the second one for giving lip to the umpire.

there wasn't.  they were just spirited and going for the kill. reminded me of when we beat Hawthorn in 2016. They were top of the ladder, coming off 3 flags, won like 10 games in a row up to that game, and we steamrolled them in the last. Sounded like we had 90k there that day.

Unforgettable day. I was there that day at giving it hard to the Hawks supporters. They gave it back too. But THAT win on THAT day by the our beloved Dees against the Hawks was ecstatically cathartic. Our supporters got to watch loser Hawks  supporters leave early. IT was awesome. I began to believe we were on the right track after that game...

I’m with you, Dub. The escalating vitriol is stifling, and is only getting worse. It’s depressing and it’s demoralising. We have a win following three consecutive losses but you wouldn’t know it. The abrasive, belligerent bastards grind you down by attrition. And these are supposedly Demons fans 🙄

Tholstrup good early before fading

Rivers needs to be into the midfield permanently

His evasion of 3 opponents and then breaking free to effect THAT running goal was sublime.

It’s embarrassing being in the 8 right now. 

No it isn't!

It's good. I like it!

An ugly win that got us back in the 8 is something I'm celebrating right now. 

Look out Bris Vegas. Here we come!

GO DEES!

Wat the actual f@-k is wrong with some of you on here 😭

Right? I’m convinced some people are disappointed and even angry that we won because they won’t get to enjoy another week of relentlessly bagging our club and calling for Goody’s head. The win spoiled their party.

For one example, someone posted “worst possible result.” WTAF? Worse than a loss? Shouldn’t a loss be the worst possible result? [censored] unbelievable 😑

I did the exact same thing. The moment the siren went I was gone.

I stayed. I sang.

I enjoyed the 3 point win against Norf. It was tremendously relieving.

I sang the song loud. I hoisted my scarf above my head when doing so. As loud as I could, I yelled "whadda we sing" and also "woo hoo" with gusto when "The Grand Old Flag" was blasted over the loudspeakers.

Norf.

A bogey team of ours for so many years. Not any more. But they almost beat us tonight! Didn't they beat us 17 times in a row? Now we've beaten them 6 or 7 times in a row?

Come on Dees! Each week is a new opportunity.

We're gonna give the Lions Hell!

Go Dees!

I think they are saying at least if they came over the top of us we’d be looking at getting rid of a coach who has obviously lost the players 

So, losing this match would’ve been fine because it would mean we’re one step closer to “getting rid of” our coach? Wowww. That’s a new low.

Ahh ... No it's not.

There is NO reason for ever preferring a loss over a win. And that’s exactly what “worst possible result” (after a win) means. 

Is there any chance Oliver is able to step up in tracs absence, he’s not even playing at the level of an average midfielder. I question why we are even continuing to play him, surely it’s not good for the team moral to have a player who isn’t able to contribute at the level needed.

Incoming 90 points loos against Brisbane. 

I wish there was some hope for the team but not really, I will still torture myself and watch the game because I will sink with this ship.

Well you can only hope, huh.

Of course you’ll still torture yourself and sink with this ship… why wouldn’t you? You’re having a ball, you’re positively revelling in it.

Yes ... A little extreme.
But does it really matter what some unknown on the internet posts.
Everyone is allowed an opinion.
Whether you agree with it or not.

I didn’t say anyone wasn’t entitled to an opinion. But I’d be interested in hearing the poster explain how a win was the worst possible result. 🤷‍♀️

  • NON-MFC: Round 06

    The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • REPORT: Essendon

    What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

  • POSTGAME: Essendon

    Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.
