The Casey match is definitely not on here in Canberra. Please keep the updates coming for those of us who are 'out of the loop'. Thanks in advance folks!

I love that Clarrie is continuing with us. It's 'a lot funner' being a Dees supporter with him in the team.

In his very short career, Kozzi has already earned the right to give a bit if lip to the likes of Selwood. I love it.

Ernest, I was a fervent supporter throughout our 'glory years' and my love for the Club has not diminished one iota during our extensive periods in the 'wilderness'. I fully understand your pragmatism, but I intend to ride the current 'ripple (not wave) of success' for however long it lasts. They have been too few and far between for me to give up now!.

I just love this Club to death ..... and back again!

Totally Agree DZ! I see loads of Choco influence in that trio.

What an outstanding interview! Being brutally honest, and quite advanced in years, I teared up a tiny bit when Choco was encouraging supporters to get on board, and said "a lot of exciting times are coming very, very soon". Maybe, just maybe, it's not too late for me after all!

In an interview before round 1, Max said that our players were “hurting” because they had let themselves and the supporters down by not making finals in 2020 .......... they were intent on redeeming themselves in 2021. His statement was (quite reasonably) greeted around here with many comments along the lines of “we’ve heard it all before”, “talk is cheap” and “we want actions, not words”. Well, I think in the first four rounds, we are starting to see strong evidence that Max is a man of his word, and our team is prepared to back him up.

So hard to separate them in what is one of the very best TEAM efforts I’ve seen from the Dees in a very long time. Here’s my crack at it: 6. Lever 5. Viney 4. Gawn 3. Petracca 2. Langdon 1. Fritsch

Lever’s LEADERSHIP!

Outstanding TEAM win!

I’m quietly confident if singing a very rousing post-match rendition of the Grand Old Flag. Our new found maturity, and ability to readily change up / adjust our tactics to suit the game situation, will see us home by around three goals.

Gee that was disappointing. We looked lethargic from the outset, and I reckon we had run our race before the first bounce.

We Demonlanders have experienced far too much ‘flat earth’ to be in the least concerned about what that Society thinks. Onward and upwards Dees!

I was at the game, and the work that was put into Clarrie off the ball was unbelievable. His numbers were understandably down. The umps need to put a stop to this sort of crap.

6. Gawn 5. Pickett 4. Langdon 3. Hunt 2. Hunt 1. Salem

After watching the GWS game last week, I described them as a ‘rabble’, and predicted that only a poor attitude would bring us undone. I’ve revised that a bit as the week has progressed, because surely pride will drive them to do better after the hammering they’ve copped in the media (MFCSS?). I still favour us to win, but I’m a little nervous now. Cheer loud and strong all you Demonlanders coming to Manuka tonight!!!

I really liked the way we adapted to the conditions, depending on which way were kicking. In fact, we've been extremely adaptable over the last month, and it's become a great 'strength' to take into a finals campaign. Two weeks to go girls! Jeez, I love that song ...... especially when it's belted out after a final!

I'm likely to have a spare guest pass graz (friend now unlikely to be in a position to attend). PM me to firm up if you wish.

Good on our Club for getting on the front foot and clarifying the situation, and damnation to the Media (especially CW) for their gutter journalism.

GWS are a rabble. Based on that performance, complacency is all that will beat us next week. Stay focused Dees!

Only 1/4 time, but so far not seeing anything from GWS that will seriously challenge the Dees on Easter Sunday in Canberra.

6. Oliver 5. Salem 4. Petracca 3. Gawn 2. Pickett 1. Tomlinson ANB and Langdon very worthy, but we don’t have sufficient votes.

Defence outstanding as a group. Tomlinson and Salem the cream tonight IMO. Last week it was May and Lever. Becoming the envy of the AFL. You can build a Flag around a great back half.

Oskar Baker confirmed as medical sub.
