    6 Langdon - busted his gut all night.

    5 Gawn - solid all-round performance.

    4 Rivers - our only classy midfielder.

    3 Fritsch - accurate goalkicking but still lazy.

    2 McDonald - mix of good and bad.

    1 McVee - seldom rattled under constant pressure.

    Dogs had most of the guns tonight, played like a well oiled machine, extracted some revenge.

    Just back and watched Gawny go pretty much one out against the Doggies and only lose by 51.

    6. Captain Max. Outstanding game, massive hit out to advantage numbers, 9 marks, 12 contested, a goal and did it everywhere.  Schooled last years AA ruck.

    5. Langdon put in something resembling an acceptable effort and never stopped running.

    4. Rivers had pretty good numbers but was largely irrelevant as the dogs mids did as they pleased. Still, at least he tried.

    3. Sparrow appeared a bit interested until the last quarter but was still substantially better than most.

    2. McVee was unobtrusive but didn't make many mistakes.

    1. Fritsch kicked a couple, took a nice mark.

    As for pretty much everyone else, hope you enjoyed watching the game.

    The Dogs are a genuinely good team.  Well done to them on the way they have recovered their season.

    They did but I would sooner have the flag.

    Sadly, none of our boys were in the top half dozen on the ground, but they deserve some recognition on here.
    My take on the better Dees:
    6.   Rivers  -  did nothing to harm the plaudits he’s earning as a future high quality mid in the competition.  Needed more support.
    5.   Gawn  -  on one leg, but attitude and leadership under duress were testament to what we’ve come to expect from Max.
    4.   Langdon  -  busted a gut, and ran up and down the wing providing options all night.  We needed more like him. 
    3.   McVee   -  again showed plenty of composure and touches of class under pressure.
    2.   JVR  -  showed enough to confirm why he’s widely regarded as a future star KPF and back-up ruck.
    1.   Sparrow. -  solid return to the ‘big time’.  Dulled the influence the Bont in the second half.

    6 Gawn - I was a bit worried that his calf injury would render him insipid and when he didn't even jump for the first ball-up my fears seemed reality. But to Maxy's credit he lifted and got on top of English in the centre bounces and he also moved fairly swiftly around the ground and took a beauty and goaled in the second term. Definitely in the best six on ground and definitely still in mix for AA.

    5 Bowey - Like many here, I've been really disappointed with Bowzer after a super pre-season. This was the first game that he actually provided run and his confident play up middle in third was our best passage for night. Gees I hope we try him in the middle one day.

    4 Rivers - He's still not delivering with his disposal but he really looks the part as a tall midfielder. 

    3 Langdon - the running man has had a great few weeks since being allowed to go back to his favoured wing.

    2 Van Rooyen - I think it was the second term when May realised JVR was way out on the opposite wing by himself against a smaller opponent and it was just so good to see our man just be so strong in the contest. He's really come a long way this season and is one reason why we don't have to keep looking for the full-forward any more.

    1 Sparrow - After being dropped last week he came back and really applied himself with more confidence. Was sent to Bont in the second and worked hard on him but the Bont is the Bont.

    Harsh on Rivers and McVee.  Definitely showed up and had good games.  Agree and rated others as 2/10 and 3/10.  Lots of passengers

    I believe that means Max can't be passed now. Unless we somehow have a deep September run. Congratulations to him.  Another wonderful season from the legend!

    • PREGAME: Brisbane

      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?
