GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Brisbane



Recommended Posts

Yes fatigue may happen in the last qtr for the young blokes but geeeeeeez this is exciting!

Viney is just unreal. 
I forget how important he really is for us until he stands out like this. Never fails us when needed the most.

 

keep pushing lads!!!

Manic pressure and lions crumble

I'm seeing glimpses of 2021! I know most didn't pick the Dees to win tonight but I did. I thought after last week, a spark may have been lit. After the devastating week I have had, this is my only glimmer of joy this week.

The massive change has been our tackling pressure, and that's set off a chain reaction that has resulted in a turnaround in every other phase of the game.

The frontal contact on every Brisbane possession from Kolt, Chandler, Viney, and Kosi has absolutely flipped the script on the lions, turning them into the hunted ones and has allowed us to pressure their disposal and allow our defenders to defend ugly ball for a change. Then when we get it we're running in waves and seeing a real target in van Rooyen up forward. Fantastic stuff.

I could not care about the result. I just want to see us keep cracking in, getting the ball forward and everyone playing for each other. This is a tiring way to play for a young side and they are a good side and will come. Let’s keep it up. Go Dees.

Fantastic quarter. Most fun ive had watching us in 6 weeks.

I hope to win but Brisbane will come - big ask to maintain this intensity for the whole game but just loving the intensity. Been terrific from the start. All I want to see. 

Oliver with 15 disposals and a goal. Good thing we didn't drop a champion eh?

    MORE FIERCE by Meggs

    We’re back!  Winning the last three matches has recaptured our Demon spirit and, with superstar players returning from rehab, our Season 2024 dreams are not over yet.   So come along 5.05 pm Saturday afternoon to watch this Round 9 ladder-defining match at the Field of Dreams. Expect the Tigers to be fierce, but surely the Demons will be more fierce. Playing conditions are expected to be a dry 15 degrees with a typically gusty Cranbourne wind. The media opprobrium of the ill-consi

    IN FRONT by Meggs

    In this must-win clash between Melbourne 11th on the ladder and St Kilda 8th, it was the Demons who were in front all day to win in a hard-fought Round 8 clash to make it three in a row to keep theit slim finals chances alive. A good crowd of enthusiastic footy families for week 2 of Pride Round had gathered.  The full pews in the well-appointed RSEA Park grandstand provided excellent viewing.   The Saints won the toss and elected to kick to the southern end favoured by a strong 2-3 g

    THE TRADING CHRONICLES 02

    Part 2: Watching grass grow by Whispering Jack Critics of test cricket (and I’m not one of them) will often claim the sport is excruciatingly boring: that following a five day match is much like watching grass grow. However, the longest form of that game has nothing on the first week of the AFL trade period when it comes to inducing sleep among those in the football public who follows this process in its somnolent moments. The week gone by has been no exception. Only two player trades

    THE CAVALRY ARRIVES by Meggs

    The injury plague which has beset the Demons 2024 campaign is finally starting to dissipate and with consecutive wins over GWS Giants and a 2-point nail-biter in Adelade, a sense of optimism is rising.  Some commentators are now asking whether the Dees can make finals? A huge surprise with team selection this week when it was announced that champs Olivia Purcell, Paxy Paxman and Eden Zanker would play.   Hallelujah!  The cavalry has arrived. St Kilda missed the finals last season on pe

    GOLDIE'S METTLE by Meggs

    On a perfect night for football at the home of the Redlegs, Norwood Oval, it was the visiting underdogs Melbourne who led all night and hung on to prevail in a 2-point nail-biter. In the previous round St Kilda had made it a tough physical game to help restrict Adelaide from scoring and so Mick Stinear set a similar strategy for his team. To win it would require every player to do their bit on the field plus a little bit of luck.  Fifty game milestoner Sinead Goldrick epitomised
