    Best game ive seen us play for a long, long time.

     

    All round. Ball movement. Pressure. Attacking.

     

    Love it.

     

    The fact we still get zero recognition makes it all the better. Go Dee's!

    Some low scores this round. Dogs 58, Bris Layups 49, Boos 45. Ugly slogging football.

    In a game like ours, where it's not a slog, a superior player can really show off his wares. It's marvellous and a joy to see players like Gus, like Lewis, kids like Spargo, show how they know where to go and what to do with the ball when they get it. Hogan with his rapid fire hands. That's football.

    Last time the MFC played Football like this was 1987, when we came home on a huge emotional wave. 

    When the emotion and belief is front and centre, it’s mighty hard to stop. 

    The players will now believe, as long as they keep working. 

    Job is far from done.

    Next week we will win too against the dogs and the reason I know that is because it’s Jones’s 250 game and if anyone deserves a win it’s him. 

    Go dees

    Big game next week.

    Chunk's 250th, but also because thanks to the AFL scheduling team, Dogs have a 7.5 day break and we have a 5.5 day break.

    26 degree heat and 5 day break = very light week on the track.

    Bull Smith was great today! Having watched him go from VFL to playing good footy at AFL level gives me so much happiness

    There's a mouldy oldie song called "Teach Your Children Well". Just came to mind for some reason ...

    One of the pleasing things of the last few weeks has been the switching of play and our handballing is 5-10 meters out of contests as we are all not rushing in.

    NO EXCUSES!  Just kill from the opening bounce.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.

    • GAMEDAY: West Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?
