A shout out to some things that might go under the radar.

Fullarton a good chop out for Max, and seemed to understand his forward role well.

The tackling from Viney, Trac and Oliver. A lot of in-close hard work from all three.

Langford's strength and poise in the last quarter.

The gut running from Langdon, Chandler, Rivers and Spargo in the last quarter.

The quiet but effective games from Howes and Windsor.

    Just heard on the radio Max say at 3QT "We ain't losing this"

    If Max Gawn says we ain't losing this, you better just take it to the bank.

    The Bison must have been listening

    Got the lead out of our saddle bags in Fritz and JVR. Petty with 4. Go Dees.

    I think at face value those two have been contributing to our woes. Not solely responsible, but the forward line functioned better without them today. I hope they are made to earn there way back.

    Pressure!!

    Not being ungrateful at all because all we want is a W but we still leak like a sieve.

    With those numbers you shouldn't be conceding 97 points.

    Credit where its due to Goodwin and the leaders.

    Terrific result but more importantly the way we played was outstanding

    As much as I'm ecstatic with the victory, Why does it have to take us starting down the abyss to play desperate hard fast footy like today?

    And accurate kicking wins games

    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.

    Controversial is not the word that comes to mind.

    Hooray!

    A win! Finally!

    How good was Harvey "The Bison" Langford?!

    Congratulations to the players and coaching staff.

    Hopefully, things are starting to turn in our favour.

    GO DEMONS!!! ❤️💙👹

    No Lever no May no McVee. Petty up forward. Disco concussion.

    It was certainly not perfect but I’m not gonna complain about our rag tag group keeping their prolific scorers under 100.

    You could see we were pressing up just about 10m too high and Freo were super good rebounding off a defensive turnover. They are top 4 in the AFL at this so not surprised that they did this well.

    In the NBA all the teams used to foul Ben Simmons because he can't shoot free throws.

    If I was the opposition and Max marks it 70m out I'd dead set give away a 50m penalty on purpose to force him to take a close range set shot

    It is great to win again. Grat effort to kick over 100 points in a game. The 4 first round picks in the last 2 years played well. I hope they play many more games together. The style played today was what I watched at training over the summer.

    Defensive pressure not really seen since GC game late 24.

    Most of our kicks actually went forwards and to team mates.

    Handball chains slick....

    Sadly I think it has come to the point that he should be told to try to kick a point on the right hand side of the goals. When he starts scoring points (and not on the left side!) he can be asked to aim at the goals again.

    Might even tune in to the replay of the 1st half this week.
    1st time in a long time I've had such a notion.

      After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.

    • GAMEDAY: Richmond

      It's Game Day and the Demons return to the MCG to face the Tigers in their annual Blockbuster on ANZAC Eve for the 10th time. The Dees will be desperate to reignite their stuttering 2025 campaign and claim just their second win of the season. Can the Demons dig deep and find that ANZAC Spirit to snatch back to back wins?

    • PREVIEW: Richmond

      A few years ago, the Melbourne Football Club produced a documentary about the decade in which it rose from its dystopic purgatory of regular thrashings to the euphoria of a premiership victory. That entire period could have been compressed in a fast motion version of the 2025 season to date as the Demons went from embarrassing basket case to glorious winner in an unexpected victory over the Dockers last Saturday. They transformed in a single week from a team that put in a pedestrian effort of predictably kicking the ball long down the line into attack that made a very ordinary Bombers outfit look like worldbeaters into a slick, fast moving side with urgency and a willingness to handball and create play with shorter kicks and by changing angles to generate an element of chaos that yielded six goals in each of the opening quarters against Freo.
