Just back for a short break. Couldn't get to the game but watched whilst babysitting grandkids.  They learned some new adjectives, verbs and nouns!

What a win. 

Never too early to start teaching kids a bit of grammar & expanding their vocab!

Paul Roos - perhaps his legacy will now truly be that of a Messiah - (or possibly Moses, leading his people out of the wilderness).

Anyway, for Roos, today has been the long awaited validation & vindication prior to his valediction.

That depends on whether he walks on water or just parts it! ^_^

Yes I thought Cyril was doing a fair bit of unjustified, and, as it turned out, premature strutting today. A couple of times he seemed to be waiting for the adoring fellow players to gather around for the predictable accolades.

He's a balding little freak. End of story.

[censored] hell! Just got home after numerous celebratory froffies. What a win.

Watts is a genuine gun, Viney is a star and our next captain, Oscar McDonald has a big future, Billy Stretch will play 200 games and we are a better team with Cam Pedersen.

Some interesting stats on the AFL app - 

- Clayton Oliver spent the least amount of time on the ground of any Demon - 78 minutes - yet racked up 23 touches, 11 tackles and 8 clearances.

- Dom Tyson led the team with 11 score involvements - next were Watts with 9, Viney with 8.

- Top 5 for 'Pressure acts' -  N Jones 21, C Oliver 20, J Viney 19,  C Petracca 15, J Watts 12

One thing nobody seems to have mentioned is the high hit on the Weed from Rioli.  Weed was bent over to pick up the ball and Rioli came in from directly in front and nailed him.  Weed was stunned and would up tackled and the Hawk supporters were screaming for a Holding the ball call. 

Incidentally, why were there so many Hawks in the Melbourne Members area?  There were dudes at the gate checking memberships, but apparently they didn't feel any need to actually keep people out.

Best win in many years.

I haven't felt as chuffed since witnessing the Geelong win last year, but today's result takes the cake. What a win!

Watched in a room full of neutrals and the pro-MFC atmosphere at the end was bloody phenomenal. Holy crap. Hard to imagine sleeping tonight. Bloody brilliant.

Interesting given where you live, Mister Nash.

Oliver's game today was also a ripper, and further proof we need to trust the FD more.  He had 5 weeks out in the VFL, away from the spotlight, to work on areas of his game and freshen up, and look at the result.  They knew what they were doing and were rewarded for it.

Roos said in his press conference during the week that they'd managed Oliver really well. That's pretty clear to see. I love that he earned his way back with a 39 touch game. He was brilliant. Already one of my absolute favourites.

Bright? Mate, it's blinding.

The match was Game of the Round tonight on FOX and Jono Brown said something along the lines of 'Melbourne are building a premiership midfield'. It was even more emphatic than that, but he as glowing in his praise of our midfield and rightfully so. I'll say it again: in 2-3 years time we will have the second best midfield behind GWS. If we can keep this group together, we're a real chance at having the best midfield in the league.

How was that passage of play after our last goal, where I reckon Oliver laid 3 tackles in 5 seconds in our forwardline.

I do hope James Frawley enjoyed todays game

I reckon Nathan Jones did. That must feel good. Staying loyal.

I have no problem with the Rioli shirtfront- that's what footy is about.  I think people are missing the bit where Oliver got up and played his part in a winning side.  Footy is a contact sport, I would hope that if our players were in the same situation every single one would take that option to smash the opposition player.  

Without Poppy and Cyril the Hawks game plan is stuffed.  No wonder they are hunting Tom Mitchell.

They'll need more than Tom Mitchell. Brad Crouch as well would help though. Not sure they'll get both/either though.

Thanks Melbourne. It seems that only Emma Quayle and I tipped you to win!

I thought we'd win too. Have also said since last year that we'd win 10-12 games. We should get 10 now.

I, m up there as far as age goes with other demonland members on this site and are just speechless. One thing Dawes v Pederson argument over

It shouldn't have taken that long, but today's game should be the final nail in the coffin of that one.

Not if it hits the head it's not!! Or are some heads more "sacrosanct" than others?

Glad to see the Ch7 news has picked up the Mitchell hit on Watts (while Watts was on the ground) too.

Rance got two weeks. What will Mitchell get?

Just watching the replay now which is bringing back memories of the game,one of which was the unofficial Hawks cheer squad in the standing room at the Punt rd end.They had chants putting down Melbourne which included the F bomb.Easily the most arrogant supporters that I have encountered this year.

My most hated supporters and have been for many years.

In other news, approaching the tenth year with my Hawthorn-supporting fiancée, and I finally get that first win since we've been together. Now we just have to beat them in a Grand Final in order to get her to switch sides. Not sure her mob will have a chance over the next 3-4 years to play in too many of those. That cliff is coming up quickly.

If i was a Dorks supporter, i couldn't really care less if that was the case. Played in 5 GF's in the past 8 years (4 in 4) and have won 3 in a row.

As much as i hate their arrogance, their recent success has given them reason to be. I for one am [censored] envious. When will it be our turn?

    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 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.

    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.
