Not sure what happened to the site there. Seems the lights were on but nobody was home.

I thought the tone was set early by the youngsters - Harmes, Brayshaw and Viney in particular in the first half. The senior players stepped up in the latter half lead by Jones and Vince.

Nice to finish the season off strongly. Wasn't the perfect game in terms of ball use, but the effort was definitely there.

Loved the interview with Crossy. He was clearly on another planet, but it was great to see him able to be chaired off like he deserved. In a strange kind of way it seemed a fitting way to end his career - getting smashed in a desperate attempt to win a contest.

    What I said before holds true today.

    The only thing that matters is the amount of wins we record at the end of the year. By my count, we have close to doubled last years amount.
    No one is jumping over the moon but it shows the virtue of patience and not throwing Malcolm Tucker style fits every time we lose a match we believe we should win.
    Have a quiet froth, enjoy the finals and get ready for a bigger and better 2016!

    Never realised that Harmes was such a great contested mark of the footy. Love him.

    Dont care what anyone says about dead rubbers or 'meaningless' games


    .


    When you are trying to build a winning culture after a decade in the wilderness EVERY GAME IS IMPORTANT




    That was a great win... a rotation down after Crossy got concussed , plus Gawn off for 10 minutes and everyone just expected they'd run over us like last time.



    Our kids put on a show and we broke the Etihad curse. Finally there is hope and a platform to spring from moving forward.



    Go Demons.

    Thank you Daniel for you efforts in the red and blue. What a great guy and well done MFC for sending him off with a win.

    And happy 100 games Mr Howe,

    Nice end to the season. Great to see so many youngsters having an impact and Jones and Vince back in form.

    Beyond thrilled that Crossy made it back. What an absolute champion he is.

    Overall this season has been a disappointment but we do have many shining lights and a decent group of players which we can build a good team around.

    My one off season wish other than giving Hogan a 15 year contract, is to add some leg speed.

    WE WON AT ETIHAD!!!

    The love for Crossy was fantastic, I had to remind myself he has only played for us for two years. Just shows that a player who gives his all, all of the time gets the respect.

    There are way too many positives to take out of this game. Our young kids are just as good as WB and ST Kilda.

    Etihad! Another voodoo bites the dust!!

    A good send off for Daniel Cross. This has been an important year of broken hoodoos:

    1. Beat Geelong at Skilled

    2. Beat Collingwood

    3. Won at the dome of death

    Onward and upward for next year!

    Knocked off another hoodoo. beat the Giants and the Umps, very happy Father!

    Loved how that in the third quarter it was our leaders who stood up and kicked the crucial goals. Jones, Grimes and Dunn,

    Got rid of the hoodoo, got another game into the kids, positive signs from a bunch of players, scored over 100 again, ended a losing streak against GWS, beat another side with at least 11 wins (that's four wins for the year against 11+ win sides), and most importantly went above St Kilda on the ladder.

      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.

    • 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.
