I came to terms with Jackson leaving, but it would hurt much more to see Kozzy running around for a different club. I really hope we don't have to have another year of rumours and then a departure. Praying to the football gods that we can get him signed up.

Sydney were super efficient inside 50. Converted some tough shots. And then add in poor turnovers by us in defensive half and 50m penalty goals. Even Milkshakes slipping and Spargo's shot being smothered in what should have been a certain goal. In a close game these things count big time so it's not the end of the world. Sydney in top form. We just gotta be at our best next time.

God what a great game. Huge result. Loved seeing Gus back in the midfield.

I know we've had a lot of very good talent come through in recent times, but I can't remember a player come into the team in recent times and be as composed and assured as Bowey. This kid is unbelievable. During the games now when the ball ends up in his hands I find myself breathing a sigh of relief because he just always does something good with it.

Ripping win! Great way to start the season. The ability to turn around a game when we're up against it is elite these days.

I know it's an unpopular stance but I was cheering Bevo on during that outburst. Tom Morris is a weasel and there's been plenty more before him that have come and gone. They get off on breaking stories with no regard for who it's affecting. Their only value is breaking stories and leaking gossip, and they eventually get spat out because no one respects them. Ask Mark Stevens how it worked out for him. He was doing Tom Morris' job before.

Great write-up, thanks picket fence!

One of my favourite players. Was gutted when the Dees offloaded him. We shipped out all our experience around then and suffered big time.

I might ask if I can join Goody on his car park lap walk this morning. Need to put this ridiculous amount of nervous energy somewhere.

Un-bloody-believable. Just an incredible performance. Refused to give an inch all night. Hearing the Gawny chant go around the ground was magic. Lots of red and blue in the crowd. It was great to see my fellow West Aussies get around us.

Gees Louise, feeling nervous AF this morning. I wish 5.50pm would hurry up and get here already.

I would have thought this was possible yeah. You can forward tickets purchased through Tickemaster so I'm assuming once you secured the ticket, you can just send to their email and then he/she just needs to accept it. I bought a ticket for the prelim for myself and my gf via my membership, and also three general public tix for my folks and brother, which I forwarded onto them.

As another fellow WA Demons fan, it feels almost too good be true. Desperately hoping the inspirational power of Agassi and Giannis propels us into the GF.

The Fox Footy website: "Charlie Sparrow would be unlucky to go out of the side". Coaches have got a tough call to make, but I tend to agree. Spargs is pretty short so maybe we can get away with an extra player this week by having him sit on Tom Sparrow's shoulders?

I can't help but think this is a bad idea, and honestly if we did get accused of resting players and then lose that week, David King is exactly the kind of media person to point the finger and say we're getting arrogant. This is why you have competition for places. The team we have on the park in 10 rounds time is going to be very different to the team now (as Goody says). Maxy is probably the only one I reckon where you might if he is carrying an injury, but otherwise you just gotta put the best team out there.

There's no way Spargo goes out. He didn't get a ton of ball against Richmond, but he's one of the most savvy and composed users of the ball in the forward half. Every time he gets the ball he does something good with it and often picks a short target inside 50. Massively underrated I reckon. Plus he's part of that pressuring forward unit.

Huge!!!!!

So proud of the team so far this season. In previous seasons we might have dropped these past two games. GWS came out of the blocks and looked like their classy best, and we managed to claw it back and overrun them. We just didn't have the resolve in previous seasons. And one of the best parts is we have different players standing up each time. T-Mac was down, Oliver got tagged out but others stood up. That's definitely the hallmark of a good team. We just look look more team oriented at the moment. Bring on the Cats!

Totally agree. When the Saints started stringing a few goals together I started worrying, but we held them off multiple times and stopped the run of play. Feels pretty significant. A mature win.

We got the win, but let's hope we improve from here on in. Post game summary was bang on - it was a scrappy game and if we put in those kinds of performances against top 8 teams we've got no chance. Getting smashed in the midfield is a massive concern too. As is the fact that so many times on the break we broke down via a bad decision or misplaced kick or handball.

He'd the mad to nominate the Saints. They're spoilt for pacey forward types at the moment. Why not go somewhere where you'd be highly valued (aka the Dees).

I totally agree. Viney looks like a player willing to fight hard for the club and plays desperate, tough footy. Can't say the same for Brayshaw. He looks like too much of a joker that's happy cruising along.

Gees Jackson is exciting. Some of the things he did tonight - diving for a half volley and then fishing a handball out, jumping at marks, and then when he carried the ball forward and spotted up a lead in the fwd line. Seriously when's the last time you saw a ruckman do that in his 5th game of AFL! Amazing.

You could see Angus' confidence building as the game went on. First half he looked like a guy afraid of making a mistake, compared to the second half where he looked more like the Angus of old. Hopefully the whole team can build some form the next few games.

Super excited for Kozzy and Bedford!
