Loved his game last night, the two Mac's took 19 marks between them. So rapt that they re- signed for another 2 years. Go Oscar!!!!

I feel your pain WJ & BBO I am still flying high from Saturday and talk about Ground Hog Day I keep watching the last 12 minutes of the last quarter..... sheer delight!!! I also haven't got my head around the Port Game yet and judging from this thread neither have a lot of other Demonland Posters. how good was Watts in those last critical minutes, you have to love Jack. Go Dee's !!!!

Those stats are awesome, Max's continuing rise in the AFL's ranks and his chemistry within the mid field group has created a real advantage for us at stoppages and centre clearances and we now have the mid's to be able to utilise that dominance to really hurt the opposition. GO MAX - GO DEE's!!!

Thanks Akum you have summed up the importance of this game, I agree it has defined our season and set the bar for the future. You just had to listen to Roo's, Jones and Watts they all shared that same feeling, well done - GO DEE's!!

This win is the one that we all Craved so much, edging out the win against the Cats last year down there when Max came of age, he is such a dynamic force. I don't know what the fitness team did this week but the whole team were running on top of the grass for a full four quarters and finished all over the Top Team!!! watching Oliver on the wing surrounded by hawks pick the ball up one handed and hand ball to a team mate was inspirational are his hands really that big? What a Game to debut in and kick two goals to boot, I loved every minute of that game and have re-watched it again today, it was epic and now they all know what they are capable off, led by Captain Courageous and Max the Gigantor, every player did their bit for the team. It was our best Team Win that I can remember and we all got the chance to be there and Share in the spoils, singing madly, clapping feverishly and Booing those dumb one eyed clowns umpiring the game - Even they could not rain on our Big Day Out at the G. GO You Mighty DEE's!!!

Thanks Angry and all posters, this has topped off our day, I loved every minute at the G and every morsel here on DLand. Go Scorps!!! Go Dee's I am delirious!!!!

Well done Sam great start to your AFL career, can mark & kick. go Dee's!!!!

Good luck Sam whatever happens on Saturday it will be great to see you run out in the Red and Blue. I imagine that there will be a lot of gut wrenching at the Pies!! Go Sam, Go Dee's!!!

I agree with most of what has been discussed here and summed up quite succinctly. I also felt less uneasy as time has gone by, Goodwin has tasted the ultimate success as a player and Captained a successful side. It will be quite exciting to see him put his brand of footy out on the park. Thank you all for summing it up so well for the rest of us. GO DEE's!!! ps(only disagreed with Gillard doing well bit) ha ha!!

I also like your sentiments Biffen but I crave a win over this mob even more than the saints, they have tortured us for years, just cannot see us applying our best pressure for four quarters and that is the only way that I can see us beating them. Unless of course we took full advantage of big Max's dominance in the ruck and actually scored some easy goals out of the middle ala Petracca and VB. I want it to still be up for grabs at the 20 minute mark of the last quarter. Also just on Pedo wasn't it blowing a gale out at Pirahna park?? GO DEE's

He is an endurance runner an excellent mark and accurate kick for goal, I may be wrong but I cannot remember hearing people talking about how slow he was when he came to the club. MFC would be the bunnies if JT resurrects his career at another club, hopefully the Coaching team give him the opportunity for an injury free pre-season to get back to the Player that he was!! Go jack - Go Dee's

Every one around us was frustrated but relieved that we had won the game, we were on L2 Punt Road end and we could hear the Song but not as loud as usual, we still sang the song as if we had one by 10 goals, any win is a good win even if it was marred by wasteful turn overs and poor decision making. We would have lost this game in previous years and as a number of posters said earlier it was an Ugly Win but it puts us back in front of Collingwood. Wattsy, Gawnie, Tyson, Petracca, McDonalds x2, Hunt & Vanders all put in. - GO DEE's!!

I found it a very frustrating game, our turn overs were so damn wasteful, when you mark on the 50m mark why would you kick back wards or side wards?? Probably Bernie's worst game of his entire career, glad that he got that out of his system!! on a brighter note we Won, Jack Watts was fantastic and we held them scoreless for the last 9 minutes of the game if only just. We would have lost this game last year!! - GO DEE's

Thanks KC and all posters and humorists, love following the game and comments along the way. Go Scorps!!!

Thanks Pitmaster appreciate your Training report and good to see that the coaches are changing it up a bit and thanks for all other posters comments. I don't think that we need jacko giving advice but certainly impressed with his goal kicking comments. It's a shame that Yze or Neita aren't available to work with the team or Brad Green for that matter they were all excellent users of the ball, what about Robbo he could always snag a goal when needed and from every angle and distance. I forgot how good he was until I re-watched the game at Simmonds where he kicked 7 on 2005!! Thanks again - Go Dee's!!!

I have the day off and just watched the game again, so many wasted opportunities and half chances, our positioning, tackling and pressure acts had the Eagles under immense pressure. If the boys could have lowered their eyes in some instances and just taken the kick on goal in others we could have won the game and broken another Hoodoo. But alas we weren't able to take advantage of all the hard work our boy's bought to the game. However, If we can Keep This Team Together, they are going to be Something Special. GO DEE'S!!!

Like many on Demonland I have always loved having Jack at Melbourne, i never doubted that JW would one day be one of our most important players, he has always shown himself to be one of our best human beings. He made no bones about not looking around to see what else was on offer. I am so happy for Jack and us Dee supporters. - Go Dee's Good on you JW.

All time favourite 2000 qualifying final vs Blues, Brad Green Cam Bruce were epic that day, we were eccstatic we sang Grand Old Flag over and over again. Second place goes to 1998 Season where we came from no where and could have won the flag with a bit of luck, we were awesome!!!

Thanks for those stats WJ greatly appreciated as always, looks like we had some pretty good efforts against the Dog's, losing by a point is a real bummer, but enough efforts there to allow for a bit of a freshen up against the weagles if the coaches want to go that way. Maybe Spencer in to give Gawn'y a chop out and rotate forward and Dunn or Garland to help out down back?? The Eagles are Bigger and Stronger than us and can play the game for 4 quarters, our only hope is to kick a lot of goals early on and then pray for rain... !! Casey get a few back this week as well Salem, Smith, Frost, Dawes and Kennedy-Harris. Go Scorps Go Dee's!!!!

I would be studying the tape from Blues v Eagles game, they managed to limit their forward line damage and put them under pressure. Otherwise it will be death by a 1,000 cuts and very hard to watch!!! Go Dee's

I agree t_u there were about 8 players that were well down yesterday and I thought that White was probably the worst, looked totally lost in the second half, i can only hope that the Darwin trip took it out of them more than the coaches believed. we just don't seem to be able to get any of our senior players out on the ground. What has happened to Dunn and Garland, Pedo & Lumumba, Why have they fallen off so quickly, it beggar's description not to mention Dawes!!

unfortunately the Saints have our number and have worked out the best strategy to beat us, we got very very close last year but they always find ways to exploit our weaknesses and I thought that they just teamed better than us after the 1st quarter. They just Expected to win the contest and the Game and they did. Their Feral supporters were baying for blood and they certainly got that in spades. Go Dee's
