Are you kidding me Dolphins???? Unbelievable finish, one of the best plays I’ve seen in a while.

I had nigh on given up when that pass went there. My thoughts on the game, Rams did well stifling their run and run pass option, but our offence just couldn’t finish. I couldn’t believe that hit

Bloody hell Cook should be making you feel more sick. Who are your linebackers?

My take on the game so far.

Goff has been poor, trying to throw into areas that he should not be trying too. Gurley needs more gives, he has ran it pretty well when given the chance. 

Our D looks all at sea at times on the run and vs the shorter passes, beast mode started well and we are either stopping the run well or giving up 10+ yards, I trust in Wade enough to change/tighten things up at the half.

Cmon Rams, get it done in the third! I’m sick and want to relax and enjoy it!

Agree on all points. I reckon the hurry up they're doing generally gets corrected within the second half. Chip Kelly used to do this. It works here and there but not for a whole game.

The one player who has worried them has been Cooks long down the seam, two PI against them vs him. 

That hold on the Gurley run was hurtful, they were getting good rhythm pounding the ball in.

Big stop then. But another sill penalty at the end when fair catch had been called pushes an average kick to a good. 

Most penalised special teams last year, off to the same sort of start this year.

come on Rams, time to seal the deal!

Gurley turning it up for you @Dappa Dan

I'm a little over 2 points up with that big run. Even a Rams pick can't win it for him.

Good solid win rams. Did what they had to do and more. Nothing changes over the off season.

What a second half. Was pretty much a complete turn around. Such and Donald didn’t really shine so that is a bonus as defensively we can improve.

Raiders looked great first half and listless in the second, Beast mode didn’t come back from half time it looked like.

Great to get a week one away win!

    THE ACCIDENTAL DEMONS by The Oracle

    In the space of eight days, the Melbourne Football Club’s plans for the coming year were turned upside down by two season-ending injuries to players who were contending strongly for places in its opening round match against the GWS Giants. Shane McAdam was first player to go down with injury when he ruptured an Achilles tendon at Friday afternoon training, a week before the cut-off date for the AFL’s pre-season supplemental selection period (“SSP”). McAdam was beginning to get some real mom

    RETURN TO NORMAL by Whispering Jack

    One of my prized possessions is a framed, autographed guernsey bearing the number 31 worn by my childhood hero, Melbourne’s champion six time premiership player Ronald Dale Barassi who passed away on 16 September 2023, aged 87. The former captain who went on to a successful coaching career, mainly with other clubs, came back to the fold in his later years as a staunch Demon supporter who often sat across the way from me in the Northern Stand of the MCG cheering on the team. Barassi died the

    GAMEDAY: Match SIM vs North Melbourne

    After an agonizingly long off-season the 2025 AFL Premiership Season is almost upon us and the Demons have their first practice hit out against the Kangaroos in a match simulation out at Arden Street. The Demons will take on the Kangaroos in match simulation play, starting from 10am AEDT and broadcast live on Foxtel and Kayo.
