So the gloom and doom has lifted we played so well and won.Will give Maynard and his dog headed mates a belting next week.God i wish i could be there,just think a couple of the close losses were wins we would be nicely in the 8 with a beat up team makes the season understandable

    Oliver, Trac, May out and Kossie quiet. Pre game would have said 5-10 goal loss, great effort from the Demons who stood up!

    Jack Viney take a BOW!

    Turner, JVR and Petty make a statement for 2025 forward line!

    It was a a grand day!

    Beat those filthy scum next week, hopefully with someone flattening Maynard and would be the perfect end to the season!

    Go Demons!

    Replayed the Viney interview, probably overanalysing like everyone else, but I have a slightly different take.

    It was reported by Riley Beveridge this week that Jack is in the midst of negotiating a deal for beyond 2025. Generally when those things are in the works players can be a bit more non-committal as they want to keep the managers happy as they push for the best deal. Jack is not always the sharpest of speakers or interviewees, and I felt he answered with his initial automatic thoughts (paraphrasing):

    Lynch: "You're not going anywhere next year?"

    Viney: "Nah!" Then realizes he's meant to keep them guessing somewhat to help the contract talks "We'll wait til the end of the year and see how that all pans out".

    I'm not too worried after that exchange.

    Yeah, that was one of my takes too.

    Take that squirmy Dermy.  The hope that they could still get up when they were 6 goals down deep in the fourth… priceless 

    The whole commentary was (as always) spoilt by Dermy! I wish he’d just shut up.                                   I’m not sure if I read it on this site or elsewhere, but someone said -  ask Dermy the time and he’ll tell you how to build a clock!

    How good was that! Very proud of the boys today. Vines and Max immense and lots of nice cameos too. We wiped the floor with them it has to be said.

    Stolen from a post on Twitter, but this a great pick up.

    “Trac spent months in Queensland then conveniently avoided this away trip when so many of the injured players travelled, and our twos were up here too. Today was a very ‘whole club’ vibe. None of this is reflecting very well on him. This is a direction, and he’s not in on it.”

    I agree completely with this. The more this plays out the more I'm unimpressed with Trac and whoever leaked to the media.

    A lot to like today!, also Billings, Hore, Kolt AND Nibbler were very good

    Nibbler is going to be a big loss ... especially after losing Brayshaw. Heart and soul players and onfield leaders both.

    Even if both Clarry and Trac get back to their best, some big shoes to fill.

    Hard to read anything into that Viney comment.

    Not overly concerned. Currently in contract negotiations with the Demons so I can't imagine he'd say anything publicly which may impact talks.

    Spot on. He will have been briefed by his manager. Don't look too keen.

    I suspect medical advice would be that he still should not fly

    Hmmm. Didn’t seem to apply when he flew up to Noosa did it.

    To be fair, he might have thought that if he went he would be a distraction

    Great pick up.  Poor Jack - just a bit of confusion there.

    or he might have medical appointments.  Too much reading of tea leaves on here.

    True on Nibbler, but why can't Rivers, Turner, Tholstrup, Windsor etc.   be the next to take over that mantle.

    A bit of kudos here to Dwayne.  Last 1/4 he emphasised several times that next season with Oliver and Trac back in  full health  and JVR having his break out seasonwhy can't the Dees challenge again quickly.

    The way the team got around Judd after his first goal was indicative of the great things about our team. 

    Even more impressive was when they got around Pickett who was obviously feeling out of sorts and slightly embarrassed about his performance in the first three quarters.

    • 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?
