Great performance. Great win. Goodwin’s words felt empty leading in but credit where it’s due. They lifted and got it done.

    Jack Viney is back.

    Max Gawn is back (still needs help though).

    Hopefully we continue.

    Well done Goodwin now the challenge is to keep going.

    Even if we had of lost that, I would have enjoyed watching that style of game.

    Very few complaints.

    So many good moments.

    Incredible response, hopefully we can see more of that for the rest of the season because that was very fun to watch

    The most fun and enjoyable match I have watched us play in at least 1 and a half years I reckon. The forward wave running whilst implementing great team defensive pressure is what we have grown accustomed to.

    Next 2 highly winnable and Hawks proven not to be as invincible as most like to believe. If we are real with ourselves, we beat Richmond and West Coast easily and suddenly 3 in a row going into Hawthorn…

    Let’s hope to god this is first of many wins and the new standard going forward..

    Finally showed some spirit.

    Controversial opinion - but if we don't make finals, I think it might have been better for the club long term if we'd lost that game.

    I hope I'm proven wrong but I'm convinced Goodie is not the way forward and this is just delaying the inevitable.

    I’m not usually one to go early on my calls, but after today’s win—our first for the season—it’s clear we’ve made some serious learnings. A few things stood out:

    1. Max has a future with the Nationals—no one goes to the right more reliably.

    2. Goody’s contract should be extended to 2029—first item on the new CEO’s to-do list.

    3. Lever’s calling is clear—full-time interchange steward. Give him the hi-vis and headset now.

    4. Trac is the future head of the Victorian Retail Butchers Association—his slicing and dicing today was top shelf.

    5. Goody has implemented so many learnings—at this rate, by Round 10 we’ll have enough to open a TAFE campus.

    6. The umpires continue to innovate—consistently confusing, admirably chaotic, and never guessing the same way twice. True artisans of the grey area.

    7. And finally—can someone check the Tullamarine arrivals lounge? Pretty sure the Shockers might be smuggling Kosi back West when no one was looking.

    After our bad losses to Freo last year, and given our start this year, this is a MASSIVE win!!

    Koz Bowey and Viney were awesome.

    Over 100? A win? Now THAT’S retro! 🤣

    It’s never too late to turn things around, let’s use this and build confidence!

    Great win boys, thank you. So proud.

    Miss this feeling ❤️

    Nah, as Craig McCrae has said many times that he values players than picks because winning is the potion that drives success.

    We need to win games and winning attracts top talent.

    Aw, thanks.

    Now I get to celebrate both an excellent, dynamic, character-filled win by the Demons, AND I get to prove my point that some people put indulging their vendettas ahead of the enjoying the club's successes.

    Back in the ol’ days, I notched up three in a row at Hawthorn—those were the glory dayz.

    Honestly we never really looked like losing. Gawn just had that aura about him defensively that tends to mean we win.

    • CASEY: Coburg

      The Casey Demons returned to their home ground which was once a graveyard for opposing teams but they managed to gift the four points on offer to Coburg with yet another of their trademark displays of inaccuracy in front of goals and some undisciplined football that earned the displeasure of the umpires late in the game. The home team was welcomed by a small crowd at Casey Fields and looked right at home as it dominated the first three quarters and led for all bar the last five minutes of the game. In the end, they came away with nothing, despite winning everywhere but on the scoreboard and the free kick count.

    • PREGAME: Rd 18 vs North Melbourne

      After four weeks on the road the Demons make their long awaited return to the MCG next Sunday to play in a classic late season dead rubber against the North Melbourne Kangaroos. Who comes in and who comes out?

    • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.
