I have said it before and I will repeat, I think Brendan McCartney has a lot to do with our progress. I know he has put a lot of time into Gawn and Watts as well as our first year players. Now reaping the benefits

    Love that Gawn referenced the game shown on fox footy during the week when Melbourne beat Geelong down there. Belief goes a long way. Hopefully we get more of it.

    Interesting isn't it that a player said that, whereas a Demonland poster was able to read the teams defeatist state of mind by just looking at one photo. It will be fascinating to see if SWYL ever decides to admit that his posts on that matter were quite irrational.

    Bloody hell. It's time PJ put a rocket through these guys

    It is them and only them that can bring respect back to the MFC."

    Can't help but look back at the saints loss and as even bigger missed opportunity. Could have been a game outside the 8 going into the bye.

    Still, feels good.

    I actually think that loss spurred us on today. All the leaders stood up. That game may go down as our line in the sand moment. We were ferocious today in one of the most hostile grounds in the comp, with aggression at the ball and opponent that i have not seen for nearly 20 years

    A very happy day. The Dees beat the [censored] and my daughter is about to give birth to a grandson. Not sure which I'm more excited about. Don't tell my wife I said that.

    The whisky tastes good! A fresh bottle bought yesterday to wet the baby's head - not sure there's going to be much left. Ah well, there's always beer or champers.

    Had a very good day today Reverand, Pinot with my sister his afternoon, big win on foxtel and now the second single malt for the night.

    How is daughter and Grand son?

    Put a beanie on him tonight.

    Haven't read the whole thread but Jeffy deserves another mention. 4 goals in a performance we're almost coming to expect from him. Love your work Jeffy.

    Well, considering the size of the mountain to climb ...

    The injuries ...

    Our best weapon having to drop out a day before the match ...

    Three first year draftees ...

    Ordinary games from 3 who have carried a huge share of the burden in the past year or so - T.Mac, Jetta & Tyson (tho' he was better today) ...

    Could this be a threshold game, going into the bye? Do we continue with the cohesion and team emphasis we showed today?

    Will we kick on from now and be a real threat? Or is it just a one-off?

    If that ones true the media will let it slip like selwood tackle. Everyone loves Selwood...

    Not sure I believe that, Selwood has mentioned in the past he respects Jonesy and they played Under 18s together for Vic - same draft class.

    How bloody good is winning?

    Imagine how it will feel in 2017 when we do this every week.

    Surely Angus is favourite for the Rising Star now. That intercept mark and charge through the middle was magnificent.

    He's much harder than Cripps but I reckon it'll be out of those two.

    • PREVIEW: North Melbourne

      Can you believe it? After a long period of years over which Melbourne has dominated in matches against North Melbourne, the Demons are looking down the barrel at two defeats at the hands of the Kangaroos in the same season. And if that eventuates, it will come hot on the heels of an identical result against the Gold Coast Suns. How have the might fallen? There is a slight difference in that North Melbourne are not yet in the same place as Gold Coast. Like Melbourne, they are currently situated in the lower half of the ladder and though they did achieve a significant upset when the teams met earlier in the season, their subsequent form has been equally unimpressive and inconsistent.

    • REPORT: Adelaide

      The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.

    • CASEY: Coburg

      The Casey Demons returned to their home ground which was once a graveyard for opposing teams but they managed to gift the four points on offer to Coburg with yet another of their trademark displays of inaccuracy in front of goals and some undisciplined football that earned the displeasure of the umpires late in the game. The home team was welcomed by a small crowd at Casey Fields and looked right at home as it dominated the first three quarters and led for all bar the last five minutes of the game. In the end, they came away with nothing, despite winning everywhere but on the scoreboard and the free kick count.

      After four weeks on the road the Demons make their long awaited return to the MCG next Sunday to play in a classic late season dead rubber against the North Melbourne Kangaroos. Who comes in and who comes out?

    • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.
