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.

    Dermie hates Melbourne so great to stick it up him!

    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.

      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?
