if there was any more proof needed as to Paul Roos genius just look at what hes done with Cameron Pedersen

Absolutely, he gives the players self belief, something they've lacked for years.

Got to love Roosy, he's restored my faith in the club.

Jamar early , Viney wow . Dawes hard . Pederson . Jkh . And my boy Wattsy is learning . Everyone and well done . Roos sensational . I said we would win . Crows are poor on paper imo and we have been building . Roos is the man from a player management angle and game plan / match day .

Condescending commentry on fox / lack of knowledge and at first look the umpiring .3 free kicks end to end . Seriously .

Party time .

He gets a hell of a lot of ball in tight spaces where it's really hard to spot. He's often the first one with hands on it getting a quick short pass out to one of the other mids.

Yer that's what I thought - he doesn't strike me as a hard in kind of player though (obviously not as obvious as a Viney who just plows through like a bulldozer).

Is Dom is good.

Both Howe n Watts redeemed themselves without setting the world on fire! Whilst I would not have been surprised to see either dropped, it's great that Roosy had faith in both lads. Both were involved in pivotal moments I'm the match! JKH and Jet were outstanding, 2 guys I didn't expect to see in our best on. Sensational win boys!

Trying to think of who played badly or didn't do their role today!

Literally go across the team and think.

Frawley obviously struggled with possibly an injury and a gun opponent in Talia. Jones not amazing but stood up when needed. And Watts was hindered. But besides from that I can only think of one player who wasn't playing great footy. And that's Byrnes!

So Demonland blew a fuse after the win!!!

Bloody fantastic.

The boys were on today.

Best game Frank Grimes has played in years.

Dawesy.

Dom Tyson stepped up when it counted.

12 years between wins over there

Drinks are flowing tonight.

We beat those biased umpires!

I almost smashed a $20,000 TV at work today!! It was close...

Go Demons.

Roosy.

PJ will be smiling tonight.

Negatives I guess

- Potential injuries to Jones, Frawley, Georgiou, Jetta (?cramp) and Viney might be penalised for playing football the way it should be played.

Melbourne coach Paul Roos was understandably thrilled by the result.

"I was excited after the game, I love winning and I don't like losing," Roos said.

"I'm really pleased for the players and pleased for the staff and pleased for the footy club because it's been really tough.

"The coach has got to enjoy it as well as the players because obviously there's been a lot of downs…I'm very excited, I thought it was a terrific win."

Come on Paul join us for a few more years.

We made 2 great decisions in getting Roos and PJ. Now they are making good decisions.

Next we need Jason Taylor to make very good decisions.

I think Al Clarkson would have something to say about that, but our guy is right up there. We're not easy beats anymore.

We kicked their butt. A bit too hard at the ball for them, me thinks ... Total football - Roos style. Great teamwork all over the ground.

JKH has got a huge upside - no limits for this young bloke. Vince was immense, so many other contributors but Terlich was as cool as a cucumber. Watts was much improved, Pederson stood his ground, Dawes led the forward line, Bail played like he belonged, Viney is as tough as teak.

So many good players and no passengers ... a great team effort. Roos ... the master at work - worth every cent.

    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. The play start time was brought forward from the initial 11am bounce, due to the high temperatures forecast.  The match sim will consist of four 25-minute qu

Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury.

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
