A Vardy like performance

A name that has gone down in Western Australian performances by the Dees

Now it will be known as .... "Doing a Mac Donald"

Well done Dees

The MFCSS mist is dissipating

"The TMAC Game in Perth"

 

We won and they played as well as they could.

With 2 minutes to go I felt we would do it. Exactly like Id felt when other teams get us previously.

That was then This is now.

Speechless. Players down. Some missing but come back. An epic win.

maybe the best win ever. 

 

The lid is in effin orbit, me running around like a crazy man in the streets of Dakar dancing very badly but so so happy

Yep. I was weirdly confident we would win in that last minute. We are the real deal

I reckon you might have had the best supporter experience tonight, and that's saying something! 

Sweet dreams are made of this

Can't even discuss the actual game yet, only how the win felt.

I was at the ground. I brought a ticket through Ticketmaster and some how ended up sitting in an Eagles reserved seating section. I literally could not see another Melbourne supporter. I was by myself. I cheered everything we did and got stared at, people whispered about me, one woman asked her husband if they could move away. I wasn't badly behaved. I was just passionate.

Because those Eagles supporters they don't understand - I fell in love with this footy club in 1987. I was sitting with my old man on the half forward flank when Jimmy ran over the mark and Buckenara kicked the goal in the Prelim. I've sat through horrible horrible performances - multiple 100 point floggings at the G (just 4 years ago). I'd do it all again for that win, and the effort and energy we showed to drag ourselves over the line in that last quarter.

When Tommy Mac kicked the last goal I went bananas. And then when the siren went I went absolutely ballistic. You know those sad people at sporting events going nuts who you think 'calm down mate, maybe you need more going on in your life'? - that was me!

Im pretty sure I looked like the slow mo of Stevie J when he kicked the sealer a couple of weeks back - but in real time.

It was ugly. I don't care. That was an absolute delight.

I love this footy club, and I love that I at least have a place on the internet to share something like this with people who get it.

Go The Dees. I believe. 

What a post. Brilliant.

Gee these boys will never lay down in a game, and they are improving as the year goes on like a well-oiled machine.

NO Jones, Watts and Hogan tonight either.

4 wins in a row, first time in well over a decade.

3 from 3 interstate games.

Something special is happening.

Just looked at the ladder.  All that effort just to stay in the same spot!  That sucks!

Yeah but it's a crucial win, keeps us ahead of the pack.

34 Large Bintang - it's all pretty conclusive via Wifi on Nusa Lembongan - me and another random MFC member would put Hurn down for 2 and mm thicker 8 - coulda been teeth... definitely struck him 

Incredibly, but maybe not, for once after being actually at the ground, I can't wait to get home and watch the mother-fuggin replay on Tele.

The scribe himself, Demonblog, just summed it up perfectly

Who am i to disagree.......

Im drunk waited 19 years for this fookin love my Dee. We wanted it and we got it. Turned it into a scrap from the outset and were tougher.

BTW FU Umps

I'd personally like to kiss every poster here.  

This footy club is made of some seriously good stuff.  Enjoy every minute of this ride!


Free Agents and OOC players be taking sneaky looks at MFC now surely...................... :P

Been in back of my nuts Canberra all week for work...missus stitched me up with a "dinner" tonight with some randoms, so couldn't see or hear any of the game, except the odd phone score update during a wee break...

Ended up with 43 text messages during and after the game, came home to rip into the gas and watch the replay at it didn't bloody tape on Foxtel!!

Amazing win but the world can GOGF'd!!

Tomorrows replay it is!

The most impressive thing tonight was that in the last two minutes, with the game on the line, we win every clearance, every contest.

We seriously lacked composure in our close losses this year. Tonight we showed a composure and will to win we haven't seen for 11 years.

The boys have finally come to the realisation that winning on a regular basis isn't exclusive to any particular club...and there's no "magic wand" formula.

But you do have to get super fit, have at least one asset or two up your sleeve....and play the whole match out at break neck effort and intensity. 

If you win you win as a result, if you don't you don't.  You then quickly move on to next week and do it all over again.  Not easy but not a Houdini act either.

A little bit of experience, depth and talent doesn't go astray either and we now are seeing all of these aspects improve by the week.

 

After doing the hard yards at work tonight and driving home, my phone just went nuts with messages! Finally got to see the last two minutes and then the song being sung, insane feeling. Left with a massive grin.

They are building. This all has a certain feeling about it.

  • PREVIEW: Carlton

    Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

  • REPORT: North Melbourne

    I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

  • CASEY: Werribee

    The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

  • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

    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.
