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.

    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

    • NON-MFC: Round 06

      The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.
