none of this happens when we are winning. a strange phenomenon

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.

Staggering.

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!

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.

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. 🤷‍♀️

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea
