The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.

Back on the winners list. See you next year Xerri

Jeffo I believe

Build Melksham a statue

And just like that we are 13th!

jumped the bombers

Jefferson showed some great forward craft for a young player, if he can put on a few kgs and convert more of his opportunities I really think there's a player there

Never drop TMac again Goodwin.

paging @picket fence

we never doubted you for a minute

Maynard levels of thuggery from Xerri, if there’s any justice he’ll get rubbed out for 7+ weeks.

What a cowardly individual. Glad maxy got stuck into that [censored].

Big Max is still the standard

I am willing to admit, after the first ten minutes I was ready to end his career today. Credit to him, fought through and showed a bit. Something to work with there. Happy with his game.

Unfortunately we have some serious issues with our 2023 draft picks. Windsor and Tholstrup are struggling massively. Tholstrup no physicality and jogging his way around the game, while Windsor had one touch in a half of footy.

Caleb needs a full game next week for Sparrow.

Well it’s amazing what happens when you kick straight.

Some really good signs today.

Much better than our first outing this year.

Great performance from Melk, Fritter, Trac and TMac was awesome - which only makes his omission even more glaring than it already was.

But obviously soured by the hit on Spaz. Hope he is ok. Bye, Xerri. Whether he meant it or not, rules are rules. Catch ya.

Might ‘only’ by the Roos but we did what we needed to do, kicked well and put ourselves in a position to win 12th position outright next week v the blues 🤣

JVR and Jeffo good today despite not kicking too many goals. Kolt iffy, but keep persisting as he’ll grow with experience.

Lever looks like he’s absolutely battling to get above a jog.

Nothing could ever be that bad.

After the 2nd quarter horror show, that was great team footy today. Big shout out to Fritsch for a 4 quarter team performance.

Gawn's leadership, Trac and Clarry contested ball and clearances, Viney's in and under grunt.

Langford, Jeffo, JVR.

TMac. Chin. Bowey. Salem.

Some real concerns down back, and although Turner had a bad one today, he is not one of our comcerns.

Concerned about Kolt and Windsor's development.

Great to be on the winners list.

Dead rubber in July but still enjoyed that.

Spent the first hour bemoaning the fact I didn’t bet on North and another afternoon wasted.

Second half was very good though.

Demonland’s whipping boys Salem and Fritsch were terrific I thought, Goody’s mate Melksham wasn’t bad either.

Langford does not get enough hype. He’s a stud.

Jefferson on last chance saloon looked great!

North always I repeat always cause nuisance value against us. Zurhaar does it every bloody time and Cooper Harvey kicking 4 was so typical. Good to beat them!

Slow first half but much improved in the second.

Loved melks game. Pure class

Hopefully we can take a lot of confidence from today and stuff Carlton next week

18.11 on the windiest of windy days

JVR presented well. Jeffo did ok.

I'd take that from them every week

94 point turnaround what happened in those first 5 rounds Selwyn ?????

Sorry for being a tad negative but I had to get it off my chest.

Nice to get a win for a change.

Best unselfish game Fritta has played in a long time.

Tmac should never have been omitted from the team. Cannot understand that one at all.

Hope Sparrow is ok.

Great gutsy win. TMac needs to stay in. What a gun.

Hope Tommy Sparrow is ok

If Tmac plays every game he finishes on 249 games. Shame.
