Mate I hope so

Saw some real commitment all over the ground in the last qtr from all the boys

Hopefully the boys can take some confidence from this

Terrible first 3 quarters, but I loved seeing the heart in the last quarter... it shows what we're capable of.

Even if it is GWS its great to be on the winning end of 12 goals in 1 qtr for once

Still a lot of hard work to do - I hope for some at the club it confirms that hard work will pay off

Yeah congratulations boys, you played 1 quarter of football.

FFS Stuie, they are going to be few and far between, just allow yourself a few hours of enjoying the win. Tomorrow we can conduct the post mortem of what occurred in the middle two quarters

I'm enjoying the win, and I hope we get some much needed confidence from it, but it just feels a little bit like wallpapering over the cracks you know? I hope it's a turning point, but the first 3 quarters tempered my hopes somewhat.

Mate spot on

No one thinks our problems are over now we won 1 game - just a relief and some pressure of the club and no embarrassment for us supporters

Lack of run and fading in the middle of the games are still big issures for whoever is coach

We can all hold our heads high tonight though after that last qtr (for a week at least)

Some would say sacking the coach was doing the same thing

Enjoy a win mate - next week I am sure we will be arguing again

I know what you say but we can address the bad tomorrow. Wins will be rare this year but living in Perth I go to work tomorrow after a Dees win and both WA sides losing, that will be even rarer!

Like WC last weekend against us?

FFS. No, we weren't perfect. But we still had a very good win.

WC had more than 1 good quarter against us, look at the stats, specifically the uncontested possessions in the first half.

Sure ... If you want to disregard the first 3 quarters then we might even make the finals.

Fair call mate

But enjoy that the boys could pull that out of the bag

People here are willing to bag the coach and the playing group for the losses - How about a little acknowledgement when they preform well?

No one thinks we are back - but [censored] me the boys and coaching staff showed some guts at 3 qtr time

We all know our spread sucks, and that's why we NEVER win the uncontested possession. To point to that as a sign that West Coast played great last week is pretty disingenuous.

Doesn't matter who they played today it was still the highest scoring quarter in the History of the football club. Conference is a weird thing, all of a sudden you believe. Take that to QLD next week and who knows we might just be 2 and 3

Confidence is everything in footy and these blokes have copped it from everyone over the past 3 weeks

It's easy to drop your head - it's a lot harder to come out and fight...

As i've said we are not out of the woods - 1 great qtr agains equally poor opposition is not proven success - but let's hope the boys can build 2 qtrs out of what they acheived out of the last qtr today

I didn't say they played great, I said they played well for more than 1 quarter.

Can't even enjoy it for 5 mins... Knobs.

Great effort to keep pushing and working, a long way to go but kept it up running out the game and smashed the last qtr.

Please be the start of some sort of turn around. I will not get my hopes up.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 17 vs West Coast

    It’s game day and the Demons return to Melbourne to play the Eagles at the MCG for the first time in over a decade. A win keeps the Dees finals hopes alive whereas a loss will almost certainly slam the finals window shut.

    CROSSROADS by The Oracle

    Melbourne stands at the crossroads.  Sunday’s game against the West Coast Eagles who have not met the Demons at the MCG in more than ten years, is a make or break for the club’s finals aspirations.  That proposition is self-evident since every other team the club will be opposed to over the next eight weeks of footy is a prospective 2024 finalist. To add to this perspective is the fact that while the Demons are now in twelfth position on the AFL table, they are only a game and a half b

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well
