No Essendon player followed Salem down the ground. Goddard could have, but he went to Viney and Cross. When Cross had the kick, Hibberd was left in no-man's land between Salem and Dawes. Perfect running into space by everybody.

    Is there really a need for this?

    I don't know about the Daniher comment, bit harsh.

    But I'm sure Hurley cops plenty of stick for his stupid hair style! You go out to play with a man-bun, prepare to cop it.

    One of the highlights was watching the team song and there was NO-ONE in the middle.

    Been a while since I can remember seeing that. Sorry if it has already been noted.

    About Vince, Gerard Healy was spot on about him OTC last Monday.

    I'm more of a Cross man myself.

    I hope you are not too CROSS with our win!

    They are really paying some stinkers this year. The rule is policed poorly and is reflective of umpires having never played the game. If you turn towards the boundary line you are opening yourself up to trouble.I really believe this rule should be policed very leniently and unless it is absolutely 100% obvious then throw it in.

    particulalry the ones that travel 40m or so. WTF are the players suposed to do? Kick it directly to an opposition player??

    They look up the field, see oppn players and kick it down the line, sometimes with spin to make it go out. That is brilliant in my view. Great talent. To pay deliberate for that which they do is insane. Particularly when the ball bounces sideways.

    Maggots.

    I was so happy for my grandson today, he was over the moon after the game. You have to admire the kids who have stuck with us after all the cr@p we've put up over the last 7 years, he just turned 11 so we've been rubbish for most of his life.

    Priceless. I had my seven year old daughter. Was the most fantastic experience seeing how delighted she was after the game. She is a demon for life now!

    Draped my scarf over my bosses desk this morning, along with my Ess / Ess / Ess / Melb quarter by quarter collect receipt.

    Nice little collect

    Nope. Cam Pederson is. Dunn was a fringe AFL-level defender last year. Pedo was a straight up VFL-level dud. Not any more, and all credit to him for that.

    It was a great game and its great to see the boys actually put it together after falling behind.

    I was just kidding

    Im just enjoying the win, not sure why people took one dumb post I made in the gameday thread so literally. it was just a frustrating point in the game

    Lets discuss the game

    Go Dees

    Anyone that has not made a mistake put your hand up........................ mmmm no one, as I thought, you're forgiven. Welcome back HH

    Great win. It makes the drive back to Mansfield worth it. Believe me I have had some long depressing drives over the last few years. Even my wife enjoyed the last quarter, she talked about the game most of the way home, and she hates football!

    Note to all the Melbourne supporters at the ground. We were loud, really loud. The players would have felt that.

    The roar coming from the crowd the last 2 min was amazing. Obviously i heard it through the TV but still.

    Im so envious for all the guys and girls that were able to be there to watch...

    Great game! Can't believe we won it considering how poor our first half was

    So many great potential gif moments

    Not bad for a kid who was snubbed by WA U18s...

    Roosy is an absolute coaching genius.

    First half was diabolical. No run, no spread, losing contested footy, losing 1 v 1s. Second half, what a change in mindset and coaching. That's a real coaching bloke at the helm.

    Reckon we can knock off North next week.

    I think the coaching genius is that:

    1. Roos knows the process and systems and requirements of September footy

    2. Roos doesn't look at the scoreboard and react, like most of us. He sees the micro better than most. Hence when most of the footy world, including some of us, were worried about 3 goals against Collingwood, the macro scoreboard was the last thing on his mind.

    The fallout from this game keeps rippling around, with dangerous isotopes landing among Carlton and Richmond.

    For them, the Bulldogs and Melbourne both winning is putting a very sharp focus on their stagnation.

    They both have fairly rough draws for the remainder of the season and would need to lift their form to keep from being the other half of the bottom four, after Brisbane and the dire Saints.

    Great article on Roos.

    The bit i liked... “I’m really enjoying it and I probably have more of an attachment to the club than I felt I would have, which is good

    And that was published before yesterday's game! He must be even happier now!

    • 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.

    • PREGAME: Carlton

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • 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.
