Finally get to rejoice now all have gone out.

So happy to be wrong. Impressive effort all around Dees, players, coaches all.

Had to look at the scores more than twice.

Well done Dees....lets keep it up.

Pleasantly gobsmacked :)

Stretch is slowly becoming a weapon. He looks really flashy and evasive and he's not a bad kick either.

Dunn played perhaps his best game ever.

Credit to Dawes, even though he looked a bit proppy he certainly contributed for forward pressure and he held on to a couple of good marks, which is all he needs to do.

Also, one of the biggest surprises was Gawn and Spencer's pairing. Spencer wasn't amazing like Gawn, but he didn't lower his colours or look lost out there

Last week was more furious with the players than I have been for years. This week, they can get stuffed because it's the first time I've missed a Vic game I could have been at in years - so of course we won!!!

Brayshaw is a complete footballer. Amazing.

We kicked a big score but we won the game in defence - which shows what the best Paul Roos coached side can do.

Best thing is there's still plenty of improvement and blokes to come back in!

Still pinching myself!

I can't f-ing wait to play Carlton if we keep this brand of footy up. Nothing bruise free about it. I hope when we play the lions that Viney and co hammer that [censored] Mitch Robinson.

We are finally a hard at it team!

I went to create the "Changes for Next Week" thread and couldn't do it. Need to let this one settle a bit before I start thinking about which 1-3 players will be very stiff (depending on Garland and vandenBerg with Hogan a given).

I'm still relatively speechless. I never thought before the game it was going to be some sort of run of the mill belting like many were posting, and I knew we had the midfield cattle to compete there, but I never in a million years could have foreseen us kicking 113 points, especially given Dawes didn't kick one.

I haven't been able to watch anything except the highlights, but from what I was able to glean off patches on the radio and the articles written so far, as well as the stats, our midfield is finally coming together. Gawn's presence is no coincidence to this, I'm sure, and we've now got all of Jones, Vince, Viney and Tyson playing together at once. Then when you have a 22 playing together, you can get the job done anywhere, anytime.

The future is bright, and today showed that the present (i.e. 2015) does not have to be the dull result last week suggested.

I wonder if we may have 'turned a corner' today?

The best thing was that with our midfield so on top, our makeshift forward line managed to function as well. Spencer, Gawn, ANB and Matt Jones all made very valuable contributions in addition to the "genuine" forwards in Dawes and Garlett. The question on everyone's lips before the game was, "how are we going to score?", and in the end we did it more easily than we have all year.

The midfield is everything really.

Made it home, good to see a lot less pessimism on the boards than before the game. Fantastic game to watch and great to see a good turn out of Dees supporters down the highway, bearing in mind 28.000 was the biggest attendance at KP this season, sure Enright would account for a few more Cats fans but there was a good smattering of Red and Blue around the ground from the Players stand to the Gary Ablett Terrace. I'm sick of the BS "they only let 200 of us in" whenever we play there. That was a load of crap Sam Newman got stuck into us about over 10 years ago and it's stuck - the facilities then were absolute crap, unlike now,

We'll see a few more wins this year, we need to remember we got smashed by Fremantle, Sydney and Hawthorn and were in winnable positions in other losses. These wins are no longer upsets.

Ignore the ridiculous headline.

Check where ANB comes from in this clip. He's next to Lumumba when he kicks. Then next to Jones when he kicks. Then gets the jo the goose. Fantastic.

Awesome display of hard gut running by ANB looking fwd to seeing 200 games of the same.

    Once again the club’s top goal scorer but he had a few uncharacteristic flat spots during the season and the club will be looking for much better from him in 2025.

    After sustaining a torn ACL in the final match of the 2023 season Jake added a bit to the attack late in the 2024 season upon his return. He has re-signed on to the Demons for 1 more season in 2025. Date of Birth: 12 August 1991 Height: 186cm Games MFC 2024: 8 Career Total: 229 Goals MFC 2024: 8 Career Total: 188

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.

    The first round draft pick at #13 from twelve months ago the strongly built medium forward has had an impressive introduction to AFL football and is expected to spend more midfield moments as his career progresses.

    2024 Player Reviews: #42 Daniel Turner

    The move of “Disco” to a key forward post looks like bearing fruit. Turner has good hands, moves well and appears to be learning the forward craft well. Will be an interesting watch in 2025.

    The Demon’s key defender and backline leader had his share of injuries and niggles throughout the season which prevented him from performing at his peak.  Date of Birth: 5 March 1996 Height: 195cm Games MFC 2024: 18 Career Total: 178 Goals MFC 2024: 1 Career Total: 5

    2024 Player Reviews: #13 Clayton Oliver

    Lack of preparation after a problematic preseason prevented Oliver from reaching the high standards set before last year’s hamstring woes. He carried injury right through the back half of the season and was controversially involved in a potential move during the trade period that was ultimately shut down by the club.

    BLOODY BLUES by Meggs

    The conclusion to Narrm’s home and away season was the inevitable let down by the bloody Blues  who meekly capitulated to the Bombers.   The 2024 season fixture handicapped the Demons chances from the get-go with Port Adelaide, Brisbane and Essendon advantaged with enough gimme games to ensure a tough road to the finals, especially after a slew of early season injuries to star players cost wins and percentage.     As we strode confidently through the gates of Prin

    2024 Player Reviews: #5 Christian Petracca

    Melbourne’s most important player who dominated the first half of the season until his untimely injury in the Kings Birthday clash put an end to his season. At the time, he was on his way to many personal honours and the club in strong finals contention. When the season did end for Melbourne and Petracca was slowly recovering, he was engulfed in controversy about a possible move of clubs amid claims about his treatment by the club in the immediate aftermath of his injury.
