So much to like about that but I want to highlight AJ. He causes chaos up front, so much of which results in goals. We counted 5 today.

Go Dess

    I'll tip my hat to Goody, couldn't see this a month ago. Great coaching job to turn the season around

    Feel like I could complain about not winning by more but it was more than enough in the end, great by us in the end but swans simply didn’t turn up absolutely putrid

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

    Sometimes when a team is poor it's mote about how well their opponent plays, and how effectively the oppo takes away their strengths and exploits their weaknesses.

    Today was one such example.

    If the umpires didn't somehow miss that trip on Kozzie in the goal square against the Hawks we would be 6 straight. That sucked the momentum out of us

    Clarry ❤️❤️❤️

    I love him so much. Great game.

    Guts and Determination.

    His season high tackle count is 9.

    He had 8 at half time (7 in the first quarter!), and 12 at the end.

    Playing with confidence in the new system. Asa result their is less skill error as player dont second guess where to go. Good to see it in practice against a good defensive side.

    Plus the team pressure is back. Great to see.

    This is a very good way to start my Sunday in Seattle. I can watch the game in full some time later.

    So good to see the lads happy - Clarry was going off and Trac is so focused these days.

    GO DEES!

    Actually, while I think of it, it's interesting to see the moves that they were doing at training in January and (early) Feb are starting to pull together. Really interesting.

    And Narrm is winning games! GO NARRM!

    Agreed our pressure was so strong it was fascinating to see Swans players seek the boundary line so often.

    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.

    Great call on petty.

    I sat with a mate and his son in the forward pocket at the punt road end, one row back from the fence.

    That's the first time I've sat on the fence at an AFL gamec in so long i cant even remember the last time- maybe the 1981 grand final.

    So for half the match I had a close up view of petts. His work rate and physicality against McCartin was unbelievable.

    McCartin is a beast, must have 10kg on petts, but petts didn't give him an inch. So important, one to deny intercept marks and two get tge ball to ground for koz and the gang.

    I’m going to take a lot of things away from this game (Koz is the most dangerous player in the comp, Disco is a very underrated back/forward and will be a seriously important part of this team going forward, the kids continue to impress, if we can keep Melk as long as possible it will only help, Bowza is having a phenomenal year, Salo is finally getting some continuity in his footy and body, and while not always perfect is finally looking a lot like his old self)…

    … BUT for some reason, and I may be biased because I love Claz so much But he looks happy and that intensity, fitness and those hands, those gorgeous lightning quick hands were back today. We have missed them. So good to see him back to his old ways, there is no one else like him when he’s like that. And that is what I will take away the most from today.

    Team was amazing. Gaining momentum and confidence ❤️

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
