I thought he played well today too. But I wouldn't go as far as saying he's a 'very good footballer'. Average at best. Can't see what you've based that comment on.

can't speak for rollo2, but we are related and I think he knows what I know...

bartram and dunn had the very best coaching/training from their junior years...

they are team, team, team players and we need them if we are going to win that elusive premiership...

    I doubt the rest of our team are not team players.

    I also doubt these two will be there when we lift the cup.

    Calling someone a 'very good player' based on one game is a bit rich. Especially considering a lot of his other games have been mediocre.

    Like I said, a good game, and he keeps his spot no question. But I wouldn't go calling him anything more than an average player.

    Well for some here who say he is a butcher he shut them up.

    And he hasn't played one good game, he's actually played a good season - his first one before he did his ankle against the Crows.

    This win is great! It is great for confidence, 4 points, and good memories.. However, if we keep making basic skill errors under pressure we will NEVER beat a top 4 team.

    Bigger picture people. 4 points great but bigger picture... hopefuly we will have the confidence of gods for next week and the week after... Go Dees!!

    I'm sick of this attitude.

    There you are in your comfortable self-righteousness looking down at the rest of us - the easily pleased unwashed - and saying that we don't see the "bigger picture" and that we will never beat a top 4 team when we make basic skill errors. 'No sh!t' to that last part but come on, we are talking about beating top 4 teams now? We are talking about making a semi(which is the reward for being 'top 4')?

    We have won the last two wooden spoons and won one game in 2010 with a team that is younger than Rd 22, 2009. Enjoy the up and down year (mainly the last one) where these kids develop and fail, and start to fail less, and start on their way.

    Fans looking at the "bigger picture" just want to sound like the sane one in the asylum with the foresight to know what areas need to be improved and what problems we are facing.

    Hey! I know that stuff, but I am going to enjoy the sh!tty win against the Crows and the gallant loss against Collingwood.

    This season is all about seeing the team try and fail (they just are not good enough yet) and I am going to enjoy the ride.

    Who is with me?!

    I have to say, we very nearly did beat a top 4 team. Had a couple of umpiring calls gone the right way we would have taken the Pies. Nobody can say they don't qualify as a top side.

    So yes, I am very much with you and happy with what we saw on the weekend.

    Not me! I propose to start a thread every other week saying we should sack Yoda, and on alternate weeks saying we will win the flag.

    I hate being bi-polar. It's fantastic.

    I'm with you totally. These guys are incredible, the instant, the exact moment we stop being the league's whipping boys and looking a team that might emerge from the bottom 4, they start being critical and underwhelmed that we are not premiership contenders. There will be occasions this year where we put in a shocker and get done badly, you watch these heroes come straight out and tell us how right there were. ONE STEP AT A TIME BOYS. OUT OF THE BOTTOM 4, MAKE THE FINALS, PUSH DEEP IN THE FINALS, GRAND FINAL DAY. We are on a long road and ahead of where we should be right now and when you look at our games per player stat combined with the players we have out combined with the young talent that hasn't even got started yet and the picture is very, very good. You hear me talking Rhino?

    Melbourne Best: A Davey J Bennell L Dunn M Warnock R Bail M Bate J Frawley

    To be honest i think they have got that wrong

    Seems a bit churlish of them to have left out Junior. And the Russian played well too.

    I'll take it as comes. One win at a time. I've been a supporter for 46 years and every time we've been rated as something we've always come down with a thud. The year that eats my craw the most is 1990 when Collingwood won the flag. The Dee's were widely regarded as favourites before the finals. The draw between Collingwood and West Coast gave us another week off to high five and congratulate each other before the Dee's blew it in a shocker against West Coast. The only reason Collingwood won was because Melbourne wasn't in the GF.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
