It's not about the win for me, it's just the sheer relief of the fact that we played like a footy side. Every other club's supporters are going to think we're carrying on as if we've won the flag, but

So I'm watching the game at the pub up here in Queensland with a Richmond following friend. Cover band blaring in the background. Paul Kelly's 'Dumb Things' is playing as Trengove turns it over in the

What really annoys me about Dwayne Russell is everything he says and the way he says it.

The composure of guys like Vince and Tyson showed they will be valuable pick ups for us. Last year our guys generally would have panicked under pressure, but watching Vince thread the ball out of the back line was great. Early days, but there appears to be a new sense of purpose and confidence within the team. Looking forward to seeing Viney, Watts, Hogan and Dawes come in.

First time poster here.

I don't want to get excited (I've been through that with the Dees for years), but what I really liked tonight was that we played some decent football. Still, we butchered some easy kicks but players were playing to aplan and were trusting that other players would be where they were supposed to be. And that to quote Bruce was "delicious".

I've been slack with renewing my membership cos I live in Tassie and don't get to go to games, but I'm renewing right now!

I will let myself get a bit excited tho. JKH!!!! WOOOOOWWWEEEEEEE!!!

I might have to get down to Tassie - just to get away from the hype.

Gotta love it hey, it is just fantastic, I haven't felt this way about a side since Lovell and Viney were running the division.

Let's be honest it's only mid february so we can't get ahead of ourselves but these wins create confidence and belief. It's also a nice feeling for us supporters. Some good signs!

Well that was freaking amazeballs.

Game plan and everything. Who knew.

Jonesy taking it to another level this year.

Great Valentines Day gift!

Can't take it too much more of a level when you are already A grade.

If he was in any other team in the AFL he would be hailed a hero long ago but as he belongs to us he never receives the respect he deserves from everyone but our fans, when often it's harder to play for our midfield than any other as he was our only midfield. Until now

Its a great start. Roos and the recruits were great and the existing list looked like they grew another leg!!

Honestly just so pleased for the boys. How it pans out from here who knows but I'm really proud of them all.

how do people think Strauss went?

Will watch the game again tommorrow (minus the fingernail biting)

Thought Strauss was behind his man all night and doesn't have the closing speed to make it up. I like Strauss but thought he was a bit of a weak link tonight.

But that's just me others may have a different view.

    FROZEN by Whispering Jack

    Who would have thought?    Collingwood had a depleted side with several star players out injured, Max Gawn was in stellar form, Christian Petracca at the top of his game and Simon Goodwin was about to pull off a masterstroke in setting Alex Neal-Bullen onto him to do a fantastic job in subduing the Magpies' best player. Goody had his charges primed to respond robustly to the challenge of turning around their disappointing performance against Fremantle in Alice Springs. And if not that, t

    TURNAROUND by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons won their first game at home this year in the traditional King’s Birthday Weekend clash with Collingwood VFL on Sunday in a dramatic turnaround on recent form that breathed new life into the beleaguered club’s season. The Demons led from the start to record a 52-point victory. It was their highest score and biggest winning margin by far for the 2024 season. Under cloudy but calm conditions for Casey Fields, the home side, wearing the old Springvale guernsey as a mark of res

    POSTGAME: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    Once again inaccuracy and inefficiency going inside 50 rears it's ugly head as the Demons suffered their second loss on the trot and their fourth loss in five games as they go down to the Pies by 38 points on Kings Birthday at the MCG.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    It's Game Day and the Demons are once again faced with a classic 8 point game against a traditional rival on King's Birthday at the MCG. A famous victory will see them reclaim a place in the Top 8 whereas a loss will be another blow for their finals credentials.

    BOILED LOLLIES by The Oracle

    In the space of a month Melbourne has gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in terms of its standing as a candidate for the AFL premiership.  The club faces its moment of truth against a badly bruised up Collingwood at the MCG. A win will give it some respite but even then, it won’t be regarded particularly well being against an opponent carrying the burden of an injured playing list. A loss would be a disaster. The Demons have gone from a six/two win/loss ratio and a strong percentag

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an
