Encouraging to see the youngsters amongst it.

    So happy for Melksham. 
    When he finishes up playing, I hope we keep him on in a coaching role (maybe forward coach)

    We are so Dr Jekyll and Mr Hide with our goal kicking, we either can't miss or we miss the easy ones 😅😅

    god there are some miserable [censored] on the game day thread... would you take a 50 point win? Yeah... but, I'll [censored] whinge about it not being enough, and some players haven't done enough.

    nah nah, I just expect a lot from my team and want to see consistent improvement.

    Anyway

    Youngsters keep doing well.

    We don't seem to be toooo predicitable as per the earlier thread this week.

    Battened down the hatches in the 4th.. but you can spin that narrative that because we're not in the 8, you need to continue and put the 'foot on the throat' to be deemed to be worthy by some supporters vs being in the 8, and it was a day at the office and responsible.

    Good win especially when the youngsters were the better players. Still big question marks over Oliver and Sparrow, as well as our backline.

    Bring on the Injectors next week.

    the boys did amazingly, especially the kids. Second halves could use some tidying up still but super proud of them.

    Standouts in rivers, windsor, kolt and JVR and theyre all 22 or under!

    Bring on the Dons, we've got this.

    Nice win and some great improvement in structure.

    Windsor's game was enormous and bodes well for the future.

    Next few weeks will be telling

    Loved what I saw from the young kids. Kolt, Windsor and Roo fantastic. 

    Last quarter without Max was always going to be a battle. Anyone know what’s wrong with him?

    They mentioned he tweaked his ankle. Nothing serious, more precautionary.

    We were never going to replicate the 1st quarter for the whole game. Happy with the win and form of our younger players especially. Tholstrup looking like he belongs and Windsor's best game for a while if not the year.

    Hope Gawny sub was just precautionary. Hard to see any changes for next week unless Petty is ready. Woewodin maybe the only one under consideration after 1 touch as the sub but would be a touch unfair probably.

    Has there ever been a backline that cracks the sheets and points at others more than this mob.

    Still historically they're very good

    We win those close games against lions and blues and we would be second.

    What a bizarrely close season.

    I liked the fact we look to move the ball quicker and at times through the corridor. The fwd line seemed less congested and we delivered it a hell of a lot better than we normally do. 
     

    TMac should be offered a one year contract for next year.

    Iced the ankle, didn’t look to distraught, would think with 6 day turn around precaution. Wouldn’t be surprised to see crutches/moon boot for a few days and light week for him

    JVR’s post-game interview. What a sweetheart. 

    Did you see his interview this week in the MFC social? (YouTube) 

    Looks like a very mature and down to earth bloke.

    I think we're gonna have a lot of youngsters in the B&F top 10!

    • 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?
