POST MATCH DISCUSSION

We will improve even more under Roos.

Geelong/Sydney production line = A1 coaches who get the best out of their players.

Nothing wrong with Craig, players are driving without the handbrake on (Neeld)

I think he was putting 91 into the Reality Bus when it was needing diesel.

 

A win is a win and ill take it.

But let's be honest the dogs were crap for 3 qtrs and smashed us in the last... Why we couldn't stem the bleeding was a worry.

I liked the style of footy we played, and I hope it continues.

Few points:

Watts is as good as people said he was, 4 goals and a match winning mark... I've been waiting for this.

Nicho played really well but as someone said Griffen finished with 2 last qtr goals and had his own ball out there...

Fitzy will come on, he is starting to find his feet...

Lastly a win is a win but I hope that they can identify why they couldn't stop the dogs in the last.

 

It’s a grand old flag

It’s a high flying flag

It’s the emblem for me and for you

It’s the emblem of the team we love

The team of the Red and the Blue

Ev’ry heart beats true

For the Red and the Blue

And we sing this song to you (What do we sing!)

Should old acquaintance be forgot

Keep your eye on the Red and the Blue

So good to have a win. Go Dee's!


if Tom McDonald was shares id say buy buy buy, This kid is on the rise dont you worry.

My take tonight is the Neeld Melbourne would have been beaten comfortably, Under Craig, we dominated and the bulldogs pulled out all stops to beat us and we hung on.

its a big difference.

We looked a totally different team to the one ive seen under Neeld.

Neeld would have been happy with a 5 goal loss.

that a nice birthday prezzie , almost forgot about busted rib and bad cough , grrrr , but its so good to have a victory grouse

 

Gawn was shot in the last and Minson and the dogs mids sensed it. They just ran forward of the ball and it all started from there.

Gawn was stuffed and Frawley had to Rev him up just to get him into the centre Square for the bounce.


WWWAAAATTTTSSSS!!!

Did i see right or was it ths beer i was drinking at the pub, but he seem to really attack the ball and the man

I reckon we should be absolutely stoked. we beat a real team, not a development team. Fantastic to get the win and beautiful first three quarters. Jack Watts won us the game to be honest, mark in the last quarter, 4 goals wowweeeeeee

assess during the week the last quarter fadeout

2 words.

Jess Hogan.

They're nouns.


Did M. Night Shamalan write that game thread.

Like going inside the head of self-loathing schizophrenic.

Happily we played three quarters of footy. Enjoy it. Wins are hard, whether you come from behind or stay in front at the death.

I agree, they experienced getting run over without actually losing.

North would have lost. These things become a habit. We held on against a massive tide. It may have been luck but it is important they feel they can do it.

Its been a great day for the demons,

Hogan fires, and the girls and boys win.

Geez it feels good to barrack for the Melbourne FC for a change.

Just lost the priority pick.

We dominated that game, but for the final quarter.

Would've necked myself, and possibly a few others, if we lost that one.

I feel numb. But relieved. And maybe even a bit happy.

Nah, 2 or 3 wins this season??? still very much priority pick prospect. We could do with one.


I agree. A win is a win. If we were a good side we could afford to be apathetic about, or even disgusted with that win, but we're not.

It is what it is hey. I'm just calling on everybody to chill out.

I know i am repeating this as it needs to be said again as he has attacked a dee hard nut.

Tony Shaw is a FAR#KNG butt face

He accused NJones of dropping the knees and diving forward when he got he free kick inside 50.

Don't worry about the 2 other players on his BACK you doppy, ill informed, overrated spud nuckle.

U r a disgrace

Good to see Neil Craig say some positive things about Jack Watts on the press conference. Needs to be built up, not torn down.

 

happy with the win,but its a thing with our players, they seem to take the foot off the pedal after a good patch in every game, after we kicked three goals in a row in the last and were up 44 points, our player start slapping each other on the back, then we relax as a group, this happens every week.

Oh and we won the disposal count by 5. First time this year. Who would have thought that a correlation exists between getting and keeping the footy and winning games.

  • 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.

  • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

    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.
