The heart beats true

That could be the most important 10 minutes of footy in our year. I’m very pleased by our professionalism.

What did I say!

Remember last week Brisbane got rolled by 54 points. If we can get 2 goals back and lose by 28ish then that might make a big difference end of the year. A lot to play for still.

Don’t be like that. That’s poor.

I honestly think today was a constant string of things that didn’t go our way. Salem, May, then Max. I also think the conditions worked against us, and worked really well for Brisbane. We are a much cleaner side than this usually. Let’s not get sucked in by tonight. It’s been a rare one.

In all seriousness this will be remembered as the worst day to be a Demons fan since we didn’t make the 8 in 2020. Salem injured and out indefinitely. May late scratching still not right. Max gets injured and god knows. Lights go out on a game. Be kind to yourselves Dees fans.

Brisbane - blackouts and people singing John Denver and Neil Diamond. Do they know it’s not 1976?

Call it a draw!

Not even close. 2019? 2020?

Our backlines rated as it should be. We are missing our best and biggest defender against one of the sides who could exploit us for size. May back, Koz back, playing in less humidity and we will look a lot better.

I do wonder if there’s more to the conditions. I never see Tracc and Oliver find it this hard to maintain control of the ball.

I reckon if Chris Scott coached us he’d have a lot to say about the variability of surfaces and conditions in Queensland versus Victoria in March. We won’t say a thing. Good.

I think it’s the worst out midfield has looked since 2020.

Petracca, Oliver and Viney will HATE the replay of this game.

Petracca has been so fumbly tonight

Luke Hodge just saw a crowd of players and said ‘it just looks so crowded’ I’m not convinced he’s all there.

Yeah, it’s off the charts

That is the exact same free kick Ashcroft got 27 minutes ago!

They are all Hollywood up there though. Win by lots, look like millionaires. Last week in Adelaide they literally couldn’t be bothered when it got hard.

Calm down. First game back. We need him up and about, so he has to be in the team.

The difference in the game is the structure of the big guys. This game to me means almost nothing.

Playing that [censored] song after Cameron kicks a goal is embarrassing. Brisbane will never be relevant in the AFL.

Abbie Holmes just asked Richo is Max was getting around the boys still?????? No Abbie. He’s cracked the [censored] and gone to the pub with his mates. Honestly. What is this garbage on Channel 7? I hate the footy on TV. I’m forced to watch the game I love through this prism of idiots.

[censored] Love this! Go Layzie!!!

Luke Hodge is the most dull, uninspired commentator in a very deep field of dull uninspiring commentators. He’s so biased about Brisbane, but even then he can’t muster the slightest inflection in his voice to seem enthusiastic. It’s like listening to a car horn that only goes off to point out the obvious - so basically a car alarm that shouts out ‘I’m a car alarm, I’m a car alarm’. can not stand him.
