We went from being so hot and cold in games to winning 18 straight qtrs. Shout out to Goody and his coaches, they've done something right.

Best % in the league. Confidence is sky high and climbing.

Lever a genius

Brayshaw looking like a superstar

Viney dominant

Tim Bull Smith a massive boost to the side, hes a machine

Hogan is a SUPERSTAR

Gawn may be the greatest tap ruckman of all time

Spargo the terrier never stops going

Hibberd magnificent

Oliver a god

Could go on and on and on..............

Even in your day Barrie I can’t remember such dominance ...... but you won a flag and these guys haven’t ...... yet!  That is their challenge.

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

So glad my kids can hang over the fence as they belt out the song.

How sweet it is. 

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.

    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

We'll break down the Match SIM against North Melbourne and wrap up the preseason with insights into training and our latest recruits.

    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. The play start time was brought forward from the initial 11am bounce, due to the high temperatures forecast.  The match sim will consist of four 25-minute qu
