I was wondering that myself, it was only Nibbler wearing it am I right?

It was for the loss of his grandfather I believe.

    Thanks, I noticed he kissed the armband after his last goal.

    How about a gloat-free moment. 

    Re Max going over the mark, I didn't quite catch it, but I thought he just jumped leaning forward and his feet did not go over the mark even when he landed.   If that is right I'm surprised that the rule prohibits that. It must happen all the time when a player just waves his arms about.

    Nah, return to gloating.

    Tbh id have to look at a replay. It didn't look like he'd transgressed.  I just thought the idiot had kicked too close.

    Nah he was over by a foot.

    Waiting for Joeboy. Befuddled by Tyson's absence?

    Great Win. Huge scores back to back. Percentage is red hot. Momentum on our side. Everyone lined up for a goal or 4.

    Go Dee's!

    Hawks have to win by 6 goals+ to knock us back to 4th.

    I was sitting in line and it did look like it. The the kick wss low trajectory anyway so made it lookcworse.

    Lever was superb with the intercept marking today.

     

    The Max Gawn 50m incident after the first qtr and Viney going in and fighting 10 carlton blokes at once was inspiring.

     

    Petracca needs to play as a forward more. If he was a decent set shot he'd avg 2 goals a game as a medium forward which is close to All Australian form.

     

    Neal-Bullen, Harmes, T. Smith and Hannan all superb. Spargo was chasing Carlton players relentlessly when the game was over, it's something we haven't done when in these situations.

     

    We are basically playing Richmonds manic pressure with 4 talls. Says something about the athleticism and endurance our big boys have.

    Oliver had an operation during the week on his finger - which was fractured apparently. Pretty impressive that he could get up for today’s game and still be as clean as ever!

    We are so well balanced now and have so many options up forward and in the middle that guys like Hogan and Petracca and such don’t have to have match winning performances.

    The additions of Lever down back and the form of TMac and Melksham make us very hard to match up on , and Brayshaw is almost our best mid right now.

    That was the win we have been working toward for a while. We have definitely announced ourselves to the football world. We may finally get a mention from the media, that would be weird!

    I am so looking forward to next week and measuring ourselves against a top 4 side. Viney will be better for having blown out the cobwebs and will hopefully be back to his bollocking best. 

    Lever! Really starting to click now and our defence is starting to look really solid. I just didn't know what to do with myself at the ground, my body wanted to be nervous and stressed but there was nothing to get stressed about, it was the strangest feeling. I want more!

    Go Dees!

    Yep, and quite demonstrative about it.  Clearly meant a great deal to him

    Well you are going to love how Brisbane are going against the Hawks then. If this keeps up Carlton will find themselves dead set last on the ladder!

    His feet didn’t move - he leant forward.

    What a delight! Such a joy to watch. The dam wall burst last week and now I think we see a side that wants to get the most out of every game. Milkshake was brilliant, T-Mac clinical, ANB has the radar back. Super impressed with Lever, every time he gets a fist on it he removes the danger. Brayshaw playing with more confidence. An amazing team effort, these guys are all playing for each other right now.

    Got a big boy team next week, hopefully we take this momentum into it.

    In all seriousness, watched on TV and haven't seen that kind of massacre on a footy field since the Neeldy days (wrong side) and Daniher days (right side).

    We should wear the royal blue every week. I made a deal with myself, if we win this week I buy one and get it shipped overseas. Looking forward to its arrival.

    And Bailey days! (Roos Swans)

    • PREVIEW: Richmond

      A few years ago, the Melbourne Football Club produced a documentary about the decade in which it rose from its dystopic purgatory of regular thrashings to the euphoria of a premiership victory. That entire period could have been compressed in a fast motion version of the 2025 season to date as the Demons went from embarrassing basket case to glorious winner in an unexpected victory over the Dockers last Saturday. They transformed in a single week from a team that put in a pedestrian effort of predictably kicking the ball long down the line into attack that made a very ordinary Bombers outfit look like worldbeaters into a slick, fast moving side with urgency and a willingness to handball and create play with shorter kicks and by changing angles to generate an element of chaos that yielded six goals in each of the opening quarters against Freo.

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    • PREGAME: Richmond

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?
