The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.

2021 Salo is back

Other than the goal kicking in Q2 that was a near perfect game.

Clarry back to his absolute best. I’m so happy for him and we look so much more dangerous when he’s on.

Kozzy Pickett, you are a superstar.

We’re still alive, baby!

Warms the cockles of an old man

Clarry's best game of the year

Clarry is back 👊

We’re evolving. First year players in Lindsay and Langford start on the wings with Langdon on the interchange…since when?

Lindsay played pretty much the entire game on the Warne Stand side…the new Langdon.

Don’t look at Petty’s low disposal count as a negative, he worked Sydney’s best interceptor in McCartin over all day, a selfless game.

Enjoy a marvelous win all.

Clarry ❤️❤️❤️

I've missed you so so much Clarry <3

That’s a great team win, still building and still room for improvement but we’re heading in the right direction

Great work dees! 👏

HUGE.

In reality a demolition job. Should have been 80-100, but for our wasted chances and the swans’ accuracy.

But it’s all good (mostly - please keep on practicing goalkicking lol) because it’s the best we’ve looked all year I reckon. Bowza, Salo, Clarry, KOZ, so good. I’m missing plenty because guys like Disco were huge out back. Langdon kept on running. Max was important as always.

We’re in it! Big win next week and we square the ledger, then work towards getting stuck into the pies and building on this momentum, confidence and the genuine happiness they are showing out there. Upwards trajectory continues.

Go Dees ❤️💙

Terrific Claz game, and vintage Salo, almost had a stroke when I saw him in the first centre bounce

Need to find a proper partner in crime for Petty, JVR come on down?

Sydney is very lucky that wasn't a 20+ goal belting. They were equally as bad as we were good

Lindsey was absolutely cooked by the last, Works bloody hard and uses it superbly. GUN!

Windsor and Langford just as exciting!

Kozzy could've kicked 8+ today. Unreal performance

Running out of superlatives for Max. Career high tackles today. Keeps finding ways to raise the bar. AJ provided solid relief and set up at least 2/3 goals with clever little tap ons as well.

Another week of the super sub! Two goals for Sharp in that final quarter.

Only negatives are that Lever looked rusty on return and Spargo looked pretty ordinary before he was subbed.

Stats wise he may have had a quiet game but AJ’s pressure and getting a hand to the ball in our f50 resulted in 3 to 4 goals today. Does the dirty work well, just needs to polish other areas

Tracc’s mum saying “love you, [censored] great win” was gold

Disco has been absolutely excellent as of late.

Tracc was being interviewed on fox and Oliver came up and game him a big wet one then Tracc hugged him. Was awesome to see the close bond

WE ARE BACK (I think).

GO DEES.

lots of plinks and I loved every one of them.

I must say I enjoyed that.

Oliver the difference that makes the difference.

And maybe Kozzie 😀

Fantastic win! I reckon that was our best performance since the time we played Sydney in early 2023. I could tell from the very beginning that we were on. Our pressure was through the roof and we moved the ball with speed and dare. I was worried that our inaccuracy early would hurt us but the exact opposite happened.

Pickett is a [censored] machine. He's already had two of the best games from a small forward that we've seen this year. Oliver looked as good as he has in two years. He's rediscovered his confidence.

Also a special shout out to Sharp. He played the ultimate sub game. He had an impact as soon as he came on the field.

It's always satisfying beating up Sydney like that given all the trouble they used to cause us.
