The change in our gameplay was stark in the last, much less playing on. Last qtrs def still a worry

But gees Iā€™m proud of the boys, played their hearts out

Playing on and moving the ball quickly is quite taxing. A few might have spent their petrol tickets. The more you play that style you run out the games better.

    An excellent defensive effort to hold it together after Disco went down. Huge game from TMac. I have been critical of Howes in the past but he played his role well today.

    Langford looks a star of the future.

    Was hoping we scored 80, ended up >100 which is where we need to be. +46 points on our average this year.

    Kept them <100 which is the other half of what I wanted, especially good result without May & Lever and with Petty up forward.

    Maybe weā€™re not dead yet.

    No player is closer to Goodwin than Koz. He played for his coach today.

    Tmac is a modern great of the MFC. Nobody talks about it, but he gives 100% at every contest, he has been loyal, and I hope he gets to 250 games.

    25000 supporters at the G. Just as impressive as the boys today.

    We were loud today. I was proud. But we need more.

    Gotta say that was a great gritty win.

    Really happy for the club and especially the players to see reward for effort.

    Our disposal still needs work at times. When we execute those kicks through the corridor it's awesome but the likes of Salem and Viney can do it better.

    They've done it before, they just need to take a short breath rather than rushing the kick.

    We also still need to lower our eyes more coming in But a good step forward.

    Just good to see us grind it out.

    Great tackling pressure. Great win

    We will be ok , with that group of youngsters.

    Langford was really solid and Bowey was BOG , Kozzie, Kolt, Lindsay, Windsor all great.

    Old stagers Viney and TMac played terrific footy.

    Petty at Full forward with 4 was promising and will hopefully give him some confidence in the coming weeks.

    Best feeling ever.

    Donā€™t think Iā€™ve seen more of a pro at the Dees than T Mac. Exceptional game and Petty just reminded a few that he can play the game.

    I see him walking his pram down Glenferrie Road with his newborn and he looks knackered. Kudos to him for turning up every week!!

    You can drop the modern bit. He is an all-time great.

    Come on fox footy - is it to much to ask - to see the debutants being sprayed with Gatorade?

    Loved Bowey and Koz today - epic!

    All anyone wants of us is effort from our team, that's all we can ask every week.

    • REPORT: Brisbane

      ā€œMax 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.ā€ - The Monday Knee Jerk Reaction: Round Ten Of course, it wasnā€™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 Oā€™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, thereā€™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 Demonsā€™ poor use of the football, itā€™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 Campbellā€™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?
