AMW getting subbed off was purely about fitness. We had a lot of kids running on a very heavy track. I expected us to run out of gas to be honest.
Did not help making the sub and then immediately losing Rivers for 10 minutes to a shoulder jab and strap. 
 
Also McVee running rings around Porky Stringer was delightful.

    I don't know why they didn't put Stringer into the centre after half time. He was doing nothing forward. I only saw him on the ball in the last 15 mins

    This is exactly what I thought - it can’t be true. Can it?!?

    It happened with North too. I’d like to think it’s not intentional from the umpires. Maybe when the momentum shifts the umpires just get sucked in.

    My only negative is that they subbed the wrong player off. How Bowey kept playing when AMW was actually playing well is beyond. 

    Bowey is a huge worry for me moving forward alongside Petty and Sparrow.

    Judd McVee out marking Lance Whitnall was the highlight for me on too of many others of course.  Kid is a serious talent. 

    Bowser lost some bad contests and didn’t use it as well as he could but AMW was spent and creating huge defensive holes with his lack of concentration and work rate. Absolutely the right guy to take off.

    Bowser playing like a guy who had a bad injury and couldn’t do weights for a long time. I’m not too worried, although the life of an undersized defender is that you better be on your game or it gets rough quickly.

    Special praise for Van Rooyen for outstanding effort in  the ruck, which helped turn the tide after Petty's woeful first-quarter effort.

    Add Petty's underwhelming performances as a forward and his trade value must have dropped by at least 50 per cent this season.

    Maybe he  needs to return to the backs to move his game forward.

    Sarah Black on the AFL site is a very good football journo/analyst. 

    She didn’t have McVee in her best 6 players.

    Seriously?

    The umpires tried to snatch it in the end, but no dice!! 

    GREAT WIN! My takeaways:

    - I think we saw a rebirth for the team against the Lions. Great pressure for the whole game. Intense. Belief.

    - The kids are the future. Disco kicking big goals, McVee’s skills in the wet, Kozzie doing things only he can. Rivers continues to step up. Windsor had another cracker. Great vision and speed. Kolt, love his grit. 

    - WITHOUT Trac and Gawn. No axtual ruck. This is our character. 

    - The bombers are FRAUDS and CHEATS! I’m glad we helped to show them up and help them back down the ladder (although their soft draw will continue to help). 

    - How good was Langdon?

    - How missed was Melksham?? 

    Great night, always love beating these mugs. Only disappointment was not winning by 40+ but I can live that that. 

    HERE WE COME!!!! 🔥💙❤️

    Cracker post.

    OK I'm in london & just saw the scores. Oh my god I'm so happy.

    How did we win this?

    How did we go in the ruck?

    Maybe we need to trust goody and his plans.

    Go dees. What a weekend,  pies lose and so do the bummers

    We suffocated them most of the game. Typical Melbourne type game.

    Petty tried but got beat, JVR went to the ruck and did very well.

    Agree amw was great in every contest. Bowey , Salem or sparrow should have been subbed

    Picket fence right behind him. Haven't seen him on this thread yet.

    Fence has already posted on this thread. Blow me down with a feather - it was another broken record post about bringing in Jefferson, just like the other three hundred.

    I swear there used to be a story every preseason that the package has got himself fit and is going to dominate this year… then he never did and he never did and they’ve finally stopped writing those articles.

    So we kept stringer goaless. Who was on him?

    Hope we use this confidence & win to beat freo next week

    At the game today, that Windsor goal was out-[censored]-rageous skill in those conditions, I doubt the TV replays will do it justice. 

    Some other thoughts: Melksham has made such a difference that I'm starting to think his ACL might have cost us a flag. Disco Turner is kicking for my life no doubt about it. McVee is unbeatable. It was great to see Jake Lever so invested and celebrating appropriately on the siren. May is as stiff as a board but still playing great. 

    And finally, 22 is an actual disgrace. I generally don't like to mention them but he deserves a special mention. Some of his decision making defied logic.

    Just got home from a nice evening out and about to watch the replay.

    Fantastic result and well done to Goodwin and the coaching team. 

    Go Dees!!

    I don’t mind putting the queue in the rack late in games, as long as you pick up a fricking baseball bat and brain the opposition.

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.

      It’s game day and the Demons are chasing a fourth straight win as we take on the high flying Hawks at the G. After decades of being tormented by the Hawks the Dees will be keen to extend their 7 year dominance over Hawthorn.

    • NON-MFC: Round 09

      Round 9 kicks off out west with the Dockers hosting a Collingwood side resting several stars. Fremantle need to make a statement on their home deck after some disappointing form on the road, while the Magpies will be keen to maintain their Top 2 position. Friday night sees a must-win clash between two sides desperate to stay in touch with the eight. St Kilda have shown glimpses while Carlton are clinging to relevance after a flat start to the season. Saturday’s twilight game at Marvel pits the Bombers against a struggling Sydney outfit. Essendon can’t afford another close match against a lower-ranked side, while the Swans risk sliding down the ladder even further. Up in Darwin, the fourth-placed Suns will look to extend their stay in the top four. The Bulldogs have hit their stride with three big wins on the trot and will be very keen to consolidate on their momentum. The always fiery Showdown looms as pivotal for both clubs. Adelaide are eyeing a spot in the Top 4 with a win, while Port Adelaide’s season could slip away if they drop another game and fall further behind the pack. Sunday begins with a yawn fest between Richmond and West Coast. The Tigers need to bank the points to stay clear of the bottom two, while the Eagles are still chasing their first win of the year. The Giants face one of the league’s toughest road trips as they travel to GMHBA Stadium to face the Cats. With GWS at risk of a third straight loss, Geelong will be eager to consolidate their position inside the eight and start their climb up the ladder. The round wraps up with the top-of-the-table Lions heading to Ninja Stadium to take on the second-last Roos. The Lions should easily take care of the struggling Roos who might be powerless against the best in the comp. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?
