You'd think a team that just missed finals by the smallest margin ever would realise you're never ever ever allowed to take your foot off your opposition's throat when you think you've won it.

We were darn lucky that wasn’t a free kick. But I suppose we got s raw deal, so it’s teat for tat

Surprise, surprise.  The opposition kick a few and get some momentum.  They are an AFL side after all.

Not only that, the umpires are giving them every chance to get back into it.  We go anywhere near them and they're blowing the whistle.

I'm getting sick of this umpire blaming. We are the more experienced team. Umpires are an excuse for the weak. Poor quarter from us, that's it!

Lever has been horrendous this qtr.

To be fair, Goodwin plays him as a second key tall, when in reality he is a third tall drop off defender. Apparently Wagner is of more use than Frost.

We bloody would be if we'd gone to Darwin this year.

No you said remembering winners, everybody remembers these, we're playing well tonight aren't we, having a few social pale ales and watching on big screen

You bought up a pile of cheats, not me

i have no time for cheating, my comments on the Essendrug disgrace were always rock solid. 

Let’s see how the Premiership Quarter stacks up

Not our best quarter, but the Lions got their tails up on their home deck and kicked a few.  That's life.

A couple of early goals to kick off the final term and they'll drop their bundle.

Rocket up the backside Goody, what a shizen quarter of footy.

Any team five goals down against Melbourne is a chance.

The sad thing is, we need the percentage. We have literally not learnt a [censored] thing after last year’s debacle. 

Goodwin has a lot to answer for. He still has not been able to get this team switched on for 4 quarters. 

That we have to play an 8 man defense against Brisbane because they are dominating the game, is actually a joke.

Ugh. Going to watch the last quarter in bed. My enthusiasm Is really low. Was sitting in the lounge room with munchies and drinks and enjoying the night, now it’s like a late night movie that you have to watch but know you have to be up early the next day. Thank goodness for daylight savings.

The question is, in which quartervwill we totally drop our bundle?

It turns out it was the third quarter.

Dumb free kicks, lazy fumbles, overusing the ball in contested situations and poor skills.

    THE ACCIDENTAL DEMONS by The Oracle

    In the space of eight days, the Melbourne Football Club’s plans for the coming year were turned upside down by two season-ending injuries to players who were contending strongly for places in its opening round match against the GWS Giants. Shane McAdam was first player to go down with injury when he ruptured an Achilles tendon at Friday afternoon training, a week before the cut-off date for the AFL’s pre-season supplemental selection period (“SSP”). McAdam was beginning to get some real mom

    RETURN TO NORMAL by Whispering Jack

    One of my prized possessions is a framed, autographed guernsey bearing the number 31 worn by my childhood hero, Melbourne’s champion six time premiership player Ronald Dale Barassi who passed away on 16 September 2023, aged 87. The former captain who went on to a successful coaching career, mainly with other clubs, came back to the fold in his later years as a staunch Demon supporter who often sat across the way from me in the Northern Stand of the MCG cheering on the team. Barassi died the

    GAMEDAY: Match SIM vs North Melbourne

    After an agonizingly long off-season the 2025 AFL Premiership Season is almost upon us and the Demons have their first practice hit out against the Kangaroos in a match simulation out at Arden Street. The Demons will take on the Kangaroos in match simulation play, starting from 10am AEDT and broadcast live on Foxtel and Kayo.
