Upon seeing how happy I am following our magnificent win, my wife responded with “don’t go getting any ideas you silly old man”. 

I didn’t realise my happiness was that obvious! ?

    I know that Sydney a few years back, and Hawthorn two years ago were "our best wins" of the modern era. I think that possibly this one might take the cake. 

    The other thing to remember is, we are so very, very young. There is no reason that this cannot continue for a decade, when Gus and Trac are doing Lewis and Vince things.

    I was at the Sporting Globe watching the match with my son. I've followed Demons for 50 years. This side is the best side I've seen in that time ... better than the Johnny Northey side of the late 80s/early 90s and Daniher sides of the 90s. 

    I'm in shock. Had the best afternoon!!

    One of the most pleasing aspect was the young players really dominated today as well as some of the older.

    We are what the AFL wanted GWS to be,  with the added bonus of a history and soul.

    Still some bad casual footy type errors today and a few that still have opposition players walking through them in a tackle mixed in with exhilarating passages, room for improvement but going in a great direction.

    Now finish the beer, watch Goody"s presser, and then revisit the 'is Goodwin the right man' and 'Hawthorn post match discussion" topics

    Why would anyone do that?

    Much to celebrate, but really impressed with how Spargo has slotted in and what he brings. Not yet getting a heap of it, but he's smart and a really clean ball-user, great for the structure.

    Just want to say three things 

    1.Winning is awesome

    2. I wasn't calling for Goodwin's Head 5 weeks ago.

    3. Jake Lever is only going to get better.

    Started going to the footy in 65, 66. Remember 64 but too young to go. This is simply the best side I have ever seen. 87 was a brilliant emotional ride and The Reverand’s   every second year teams were giid fun and ripping personalities - but this team goes way beyond that! Got to make it count now.

    Gus bs ability  to run and make space and become the go to option is remarkable.

    Not only have we won 18 consecutive quarters but no team has had a run of goals against us since the Rich game:  5 games ago!  That was the big bogey last year and early this year - that bogey has been slain!!

    Also, we played it out to the very end and never let up - grit and determination right there.

    This was an outstanding win!  Dare I say it:  The day we announce ourselves to the footy world!

    It's not just one player of course but the addition of Gus to the midfield has just made us so more powerful as a team.

    I think he will soon be paid the compliment of a tag.

    You can’t go back and criticise posters who were emotional after a loss. Go away now, you don’t add anything anymore.

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

    I also think it highlights how good we are at developing mature age players via the VFL. Casey will become a destination club for mature-age players.

    Our alignment has never been stronger, and the longer it continues, the greater the benefit both Melbourne and Casey will gain from it.

    Yep - agree...then:

    Someone has to tag Clarrie...no wait

    Someone has to tag JV...wait

    Someone has to tag Jonesy... wait,

    Harmes? Hibbo? Salem?

    Hope so. Frees clarry, viney, Jones. Can't tag everyone

    • 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?
