You are probably right there, but he gave more than Dawes would have today.

Well done to the FD for sticking to their guns and allowing him to work on his game at VFL level. Clearly paid us back in spades today.

He certainly provided more than what Dawes has over the last few weeks. It was great to see him go back and kick that crucial goal in the last quarter as well!

No? That says it all, really.

Yeah, nah. How is that Nathan Jones thread going, by the way? Embarrassing.

Up there with Olisik's thread on Nathan Jones as the worst thread on here this year. Some just can't enjoy winning. What a shame that is.

Oliver's game today was also a ripper, and further proof we need to trust the FD more. He had 5 weeks out in the VFL, away from the spotlight, to work on areas of his game and freshen up, and look at the result. They knew what they were doing and were rewarded for it.

I was a few goals out, but still...

So mate, how's the Nathan Jones thread going? What about your prediction that we'll kick no goals in the last quarter? You're a waste of space.

Hopefully they will have turned the corner and jumped on board like the rest of us mate!

Nathan Jones - 30 touches, 11 tackles, 18 contested possessions. That's why, my friends, he is our captain.

I guarantee you'll enjoy it mate!

Unbelievable. We've improved. We have leaders. We have a BRIGHT future. Jump on board! DEMONS!!!

C'mon mate, back them in! I know you can!

I went into this game excited to see the kids get in there and have a crack. Didn't truly expect a win, but knew it would be close. Now I'm [censored] myself. Bring it home Dees!!

Ha ha, that was hilarious from Frost. Almost cost us a goal but he tried to run in between 2 players and stuffed it up.

Well done to Sam Frost as well - got us an extra 30 metres on that kick by playing on. Gave us a chance.

I love big Max!

Look out, we're getting on top, better give them a 50 metre penalty.

He had 6 clearances that term. Sensational stuff. Love how quick he is with the ball in terms of making a decision.

He looks like a natural footballer. Couldn't have asked for more in the first half. Hoping he doesn't tired too much in the second and continues to provide that contest. Give him another couple of years, hopefully playing alongside Hogan, and we'll have one damn fine forward line on our hands.

Hi barney. I love you, too.

We all support Melbourne. Of course it's going to be biased and emotional. See you later then. You won't be missed.

[censored] off then. I'm enjoying the football and the discussion, yet you're complaining about whinging, even though you are doing it yourself. Go and start your own thread.

We tired in the last 5 minutes, but gee we've played some bloody exciting football so far. We are taking it right up to them and showing what a bright future we truly have. Let's hope we can keep it up in the second half now!
