Very happy. Beat them in every facet of the game. Wasteful with the inside 50s early but that last quarter did a lot to atone for that. Took a good step.

    Let me guess the first post disparaging the win.

    Rubbish opposition?

    We should have won by 100?

    The kicking issue again raises its ugly head but a great win to kick enough good goals to compensate.

    Foxfooty sucks. Cut short the telecast.

    What about the constant replays and coverage of Dew sitting on the bench during live play. Pathetic!

    I will take any 11 goal win we can muster. 

    There was a very solid contribution from most players but still plenty of upside if we can use the ball better. We can and we should. 

    We absolutely must keep it going next week. 

    Good game in the end but not without the traditional Melbourne moments.

    Cant believe we are one below hawks by 3 %.

    We are a way better team with oodles more talent.

    That Round 4 game was an anomaly.

    Pretty sure they were just paying due diligence to make sure he didn’t require an oxygen tent.

    He's certainly carbed up since he's stopped playing!

    You reckon? 

    We did well tonight, but last night's battle between Swans and Hawks was worth watching. 2 very good sides. 

    We are not there yet,regrettably.

    Two ways of looking at this, not mutually exclusive

     

    was a good win, against ok opposition , on the road which somewhat makes up for the Hawks tigers losses

     

    however FMD the kicking needs fixing as does f50 efficiency. Could easily have been a 100 pt win - many of those goals were not under pressure - the extra 5-6-7!goals could really have shot us to top 4 and provided a bugger against some losses.

     

    its a tight lipped chargrin win - which is a plus if you think about it as it shows how far we've come and how our expectations are much higher and aligned with possibilities we know are within reach 

     

    go dees let's do the same to carrrrtlton

     

    apologies for rant spent 90 mins putting 3yo to bed and missed last 1/4

    Did what we had to do and now look forward to next week. If Hawkins this week was a precedent setter then Curnow is looking at a spell for next week’s match.

    I don't think so Wiseblood.

    One should keep things in context.

    Hawthorn is not Gold Coast. They haven't been since the late 60s. It is a little premature to compare us with a side with 10 flags in 35 years l would have thought. 

    Maybe it is just me though. My memory of Froggy kicking his goal is a little dim.

    The bigger Curnow will be a other great test for Oscar next wek

    Good win put the foot on the throat in the last which was nice but should have been a fare way ahead by 3 quarter time, must beat Carlton then sets up a good game against Adelaide, I feel like we are just starting to get rolling 

  • Quote

    The vast gap between the two sides was evident from around the five minute mark to the final siren.  We absolutely bossed them, as we should have.

    The talent in this side is super exciting, and Fritz and Spargo are very much part of that exciting group.

    No, we shouldn't keep anything in context after a 69 point win.  Leave that for another day and enjoy the victory.

    • PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Way back in March we contemplated the possibility of a Demon resurgence after Simon Goodwin’s summer of love. Many issues at the club had seemingly been addressed, key players were returning from injury and a brand new day was about to dawn. We imagined the coach pulling a rabbit out of a hat. The team would roar up the charts, push aside every opponent and make its way to a Grand Final ending in ultimate triumph with Goody and Max holding the premiership cup aloft under a shower of red and blue ticker tape.

    • AFLW REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      We’re back! That was fun. The Mighty Dees’ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commanding 48-point winover the Western Bulldogs, retaining the Hampson-Hardeman Cup in style. After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

    • CASEY: Box Hill

      The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

      The final game of the 2025 Season is finally upon us and the Demons may have an opportunity to spoil the Magpies Top 4 aspirations when they face them on Friday Night. Who comes in and who goes out?
