Yep that's me.

To be fair I don't think I ran him down though more just worried about putting in an untried kid. Couldn't have asked for a better effort today.

Yeah he was very impressive today, he seems to have a very good read on the game. Like an old head. He doesn't panic down back.

Yes you're right. I am still basking in the glow of several whiskies and some surprisingly good Chinese beer. I expect to fall into some sort of alcohol induced coma shortly. Hopefully when I wake, it will not have been a dream.

You are  not dreaming or we are both having the same dream Rev.

However get used to the feeling there are another eight to come this year.

Great work Dees.  [censored] fantastic.  Confidence is such an important thing.  Its SO important we get this.  These boys are playing for one another.  I haven't seen that for so long in a Melbourne side.  We had to win that game and we did.  The players realised this and went out and did it.  You little beauty!

Just checked in on the trip home at Narita Airport, Tokyo where the Qantas counter is manned by Japan Airlines staff all decked out to greet me wearing red and blue.

What a great place this is?

Coming home at just the right time Jack.

What a solid win against the old enemy. I couldn't watch live or listen as i had a stack of business work to do before my own trip OS so i recorded and soaked it up in my own time with benefit of no ads.

Great stuff boys. Let's hope we can keep that form going from here. Tigers next.

Have a few frothy fosters on the way back Jack!

This could be a season defining win. It was a win we had to have to be credible.  

THE DEMONS ARE BACK!!!

Must back it up next to week, but yes was a superb all round game. Just gotta iron out some of those turnovers and get the younger kids fitness up to allow the high intensity pressure we saw in the first quarter for the entire game.

He provided another option as a lead up target & is very athletic as we already know. We don't need him to be a world beater, just a chop out for Gawn & Hogan at times. Hopefully this is the start of good things to come. Glad the selectors kept the faith.

Frosty !!! Showing why he may be ahead of Dawes with athleticism and effort and some finish . Hasn't played many games but looked to have started  his journey today - what you said . Lols this guy will be massive for us .

I'm quietly happy.
Today was a good, workmanlike four quarter effort. We set the win up early and proceeded to hold them at arms length for the rest of the day.
Most of what I wanted was ticked off today.
Good aggressive start which was mostly maintained through the match.
It's also good to see that most of the boys viewed the win  the way I did too. There was a bit of happiness but nothing too overboard.
Plus, they didn't send our skinniest kid to Cloke to be mauled (though by the looks of things, Clokey isn't capable of mauling anyone these days).
Next week will be telling. I hope that Essendon game is tattooed onto the group's frontal lobe, never to be forgotten. Also, talk of 'two wins in a row coming up' needs to be banned and anyone who does so has to spend a week locked a room that is rigged with one of those traps designed by the Jigsaw Killer.

How did Oliver go?

Quietish, but worked really hard. Laid 8 tackles and makes such good decisions. Love the boy.

Needed this to set up our year.

How poetic that Wattsy is Bog against the team that bullied him in his first game.

I think we have a team on our hands,it's early days but the dark days look over.

Vince,Vanders,Garlett and Petracca to still come into this side and make us stronger.

They were playing electronica when Christopher Hitchens got waterboarded and when the US government was torturing people in Gitmo, they played 'Born in the USA' on a repeating loop so those options may be more effective.
Though Bieber and One Direction would add an odd sense of irony.

I would kill for such discipline.  I would be wealthy.  I'd have a body like Usain Bolt (a white one).  And I wouldn't frighten my little children when I watch Melbourne.  Hats off to ya Rusty.

I was at the game with a bunch of Collingwood supporters. What a fantastic feeling - nothing like beating the Pies.

Hopefully we've ended Nathan Buckley's coaching career as well. That would be the icing on the cake.

No! No! Keep him there as long as possible!

The icing on the cake would be seeing Eddie week after week defending the indefensible.

We hunted in numbers. Were aggressive at the man and with our ball movement. We gave first option. Yes we made mistakes but that's part of playing this style of footy particularly with a young team as we tire late in quarters. Probably the most important thing is that we sensed when momentum was changing and reacted accordingly. 

Watts was massive and Wagner showed he can seriously play. 

A game that we can really build our season on. 

We also played four quarters of footy. It's a nice change!

    2024 Player Reviews: #31 Bayley Fritsch

    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.

    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.
