Gosh winning feels good. Had my 3 boys all watching and barracking for the first time ever too (rather than fleeing the house in fear). My 7 year old son said he wanted to go to the MCG and watch Me

Gutsy as hell from start to finish. Never lay down. Arrested momentum when we needed to.

Great performances everywhere although Toump definitely the highlight for me, Fitz not far behind and Grimes even with his usual clanger or two was solid. Jones and Vanders enormous. Vince's best game of the year. Howe utilised his strengths and was dangerous. Garlett added his usual sprinkles of brilliance. Little doubt now that Pedersen is ahead of Dawes. Brayshaw showed glimpses of true class.

Votes could go to almost anyone this week.

Sat with a bulldog fan. Commented that Murphy always plays well against us. He replied yes but every game he always makes one changer. It came in the last quarter. Grimes doesn't have to be perfect to be good

Bail & Jones did their jobs. If you'd seen much of Footscray this year you'd know that so much of the Dog's attack this season has been generated by the run & distribution off half back by Murphy, Johanniesen & Wood. Our two "spuds" significantly reduced their impact. Good planning from Roos.

However Jones did the stupid jump onto a pack thing he is famous for in the Third 20 metres from our goal that resuled in a free to the dogs who then went down field and goaled.

He is out next week injured or not.

I am not a big fan of Bail but I thought he did a few nice things in played that resulted in goals.

Not his worse game.

Punching the air in Vung Tau.

Who was on Dalhaus early?

Don't know but the umpire was up him in the first half.

he's not getting carried away he's asking which of the other 20 players would you drop if it comes to it

it's a tough call

I know who wont be playing unless there are injuries we don't know about.

Old Iron hands can enjoy Casey next week.

However they will probably save him the embarrasment by saying he still has a calf problem.

The most important thing for the team today was the work of Spencer, the ability of him to neutralise the ruck contest and bring the ball to his feet made it an even contest in the middle and it had a massive affect on our midfield in they way we structured, our midfield is better when we keep the ball tight, as soon as we get a ruckman who can tap the ball away from the congestion we get exposed, Brent Moloney would of had a field day today just like he used to with Jamar in 2010..

Couldn't split Vandenberg and Hogan for BOG, with Vince close behind because of his job on Bontempelli!!

Other performances that deserve recognition cam fom Spencer, Brayshaw, FITZPATRICK, Pedersen, N Jones, Toumpas and Grimes.

As a back men fitzy played the perfect game. He didn't give us any T Mac cringe worthy moments which I thought he would've. He would beat his man or out sprint them then give it to someone who can move the ball along. He impressed me so much today. The toump kept growing in confidence and he started to get some possessions that led to scores. Yeah he ain't quick or strong but if he keeps gut running like that he will get the ball and he uses it so well. It was sad to hear that someone kidnapped spencer and stole his identity today. Whoever did that should get a AFL contract after his prison stint.

Riley (unlucky) or Brayshaw if he needs a break.

Does Grimes hold his spot in the side?

Yes-after today.

He is a back flanker and that is it.

Nope. Grimes should go. His disposal and decision making is still VFL standard. And go around again, Gus. We need you.

It was a ghood win dd but lets not get too carried away. It was a win against the Dogs.

Also What makes you think Tyson will be available next week and Jetta has missed a few he might need a run at Casy next week.

The dogs: beat the teams who are 2nd and 3rd on the ladder and gave the top team a run for their money.

Half our side played at Casey in rnd 1. So, not bad then to beat the dogs, I reckon.

A real confidence boosting win!

A bit of trivia: Every team we have played has been in the top 8 at the time we played them (except rnd 1 GCS who were touted as a top 8 side).

We are tracking OK.

Yes.

Besides that one blunder he is showing he wants to save his career. His last two weeks have been good.

I can't for the life of me see why there is all this love for Toumpas.

We carried him today.

Don't like to 'boo' other posters but which game were you watching?

    POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs West Coast

    The Demons are back in the hunt for finals after a clinical victory over the West Coast Eagles at the MCG which was sealed after bursting out of the blocks with a seven goal to one first quarter.

    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
