    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.

    with you brother. And there's a few of us. We can all enjoy.

    Viney's 35 possessions when he spent least time on the ground (out of both teams) wasn't too shabby.

    Absolutely unbelievable... I’ve never seen a Melbourne side like this, I was 10 years old in the early 2000’s & 15 when we last made the finals so my understanding & memory of those times isn’t great so to see a Melbourne side do what we have over the last 5 weeks is just breathtaking...

    To be through what we have all been through the past 10 years to finally be at the end of the tunnel not just seeing light is simply awesome. We are a serious contender this year, we sit 3rd & the 2 sides above us don’t scare me & everything below holds no fears... Let’s enjoy this, this year may be one hell of a ride.

    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.

    Unlikely, his disposal isn’t good enough to hurt which is why he gets so much space. They are more likely to try to stop the flow to those outside types.

    How would we have gone if they had Tex, Sloane and Seedsman? I'm sure still 80+

    Hogan a bees dee behind.

    I've been hard on Max is the past but I reckon that was his best game for the club.

    Absolutely mauled Jacobs and those taps to advantage ?.

    Wonderful team effort though.

    This is when kids want to jump on board. It is what we have neglected for so long

    Also important too, is those who have jumped off, are increasingly likely to get back on board.

    Yeah but the cows had players missing!!!!!!!!

    thats what will be said now u wait and c. 

    No doubt, but a good retort is that we had players missing too: Jayden, Pedo, Jeffy, Dom, Billy, Bugg, Frosty etc!

    What’s the saying, ‘you’re only as good as your last [5] games’?!!

    Very pleasurable. Playing like a real team - for each other.

    Is it just me, or does the singing of the song speed up a little bit more every season and make it lose all impact?

    The boys can't even enjoy it any more because none of them can take a breath!

    Slow it back down lads!

    Subperb. But hes still only in 3rd gear i reckon and will become our best player.

    Weid and garlett will struggle to get back in this side.

    Oh @Big Demon - I hope that’s your handle and your real name is Luke Beveridge or Nathan Buckley

    You forgot the 20 contested component. Oliver a quiet day with just the 16 contested and 10 centre clearances.

    Sure hope so. Primary Schools in Melbourne need Melbourne Jumpers running around at lunchtime

    Brayshaw and Viney in the guts was huge.  Combined with our new forward structure we are nothing like the team that lost to Hawthorn early in the year.

    We would beat them by 10 goals if we played them next week.

    Totally agree with this. And the friggin ‘yews’ in every gap of the verse. Goes for all teams. There ought to be a singing/chanting coach brought in.

    i really hate to say it, but the blues the other week nailed their song- proper tempo and no ‘yews’. 

    Our boys have to lift

    I actually thought his value the last few weeks has been his ability to spread from the contest and pick up those outside disposals.  He has been doing it (the inside to out role) much better than Tyson was, and it frees Oliver to be damaging inside without needing to be the first to spread.

    Re Garlett, Tyson etc. getting back in ... we're not going to get through the season without injuries, perhaps the odd suspension - spots will open up.

    I suspect also they might start resting/rotating players - September now looking increasingly likely (without wanting to put a jinx on it)

    • NON-MFC: Round 05

      Gather Round is here, kicking off with a Thursday night blockbuster as Adelaide faces Geelong. The Crows will be out for redemption after a controversial loss last week. Saturday starts with the Magpies taking on the Swans. Collingwood will be eager to cement their spot in the top eight, while Sydney is hot on their heels. In the Barossa Valley, two rising sides go head-to-head in a fascinating battle to prove they're the real deal. Later, Carlton and West Coast face off at Adelaide Oval, both desperate to notch their first win of the season. The action then shifts to Norwood, where the undefeated Lions will aim to keep their streak alive against the Bulldogs. Sunday’s games begin in the Barossa with Richmond up against Fremantle. In Norwood, the Saints will be looking to take a scalp when they come up against the Giants. The round concludes with a fiery rematch of last year's semi-final, as the Hawks seek revenge for their narrow loss to Port Adelaide. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • CASEY: Geelong

      There was a time in the second quarter of the game at the Cattery on Friday afternoon when the Casey Demons threatened to take the game apart against the Cats. The Demons had been well on top early but were struggling to convert their ascendancy over the ground until Tom Fullarton’s burst of three goals in the space of eight minutes on the way to a five goal haul and his best game for the club since arriving from Brisbane at the end of 2023. He was leading, marking and otherwise giving his opponents a merry dance as Casey grabbed a three goal lead in the blink of an eye. Fullarton has now kicked ten goals in Casey’s three matches and, with Melbourne’s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next week’s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forward’s efforts - he finished with 19 disposals and eight marks and had four hit outs as back up to Will Verrall in the second half - it wasn’t enough as Geelong reigned in the lead through persistent attacks and eventually clawed their way to the lead early in the last and held it till they achieved the end aim of victory.

    • REPORT: Geelong

      I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?
