It was a dirty day, especially with Lever doing down, but good sides win games when things aren't going their way.  We did that today and showed real maturity after it took us 15 minutes to get going.   

The big one for me was our back line.  With Lever going down it left us with just Oscar as a tall defender, and we still kept them to a low score while also doing some wonderful things across half back.  Jetta was immense, Hibberd did some good things, Lewis and Vince provided calm heads and even Harmes patrolled across there once Lever went down.  It's becoming a real strength of our side.

Our mids were smashed in the clearances, which was really surprising.  But on the flip side they worked their backsides off once we went 3 goals down and helped to turn things around.  Oliver and Gus, in particular, were fantastic.

And then you have Hogan and Macca who both kicked bags and showed how awesome they can be together for a long, long time.  Awesome stuff.

Special mention to Bayley Fritsch as well.  What a pick up this kid is.  When we traded Watts for the pick we took him with we clearly knew what we were doing.  26 touches and 14 marks is a day out and he just keeps getting better and better.

We are 8-3 and playing great footy.  We now get an 8 day break and hopefully Lever isn't too badly injured and won't need to spend too much time on the sidelines.  Bring on the Filth and our 7th win in a row!!

    Currently sitting in second position, pending the Tigers game tonight against the Drug Cheats.  What a feeling!

    Yeah it wasn’t pretty but it’s still a 50 point win. Good work by the boys who were under real siege.

    2nd on the live ladder....best % in the AFL right now.  Kept a little in the tank for our arch enemy next week in the Big Freeze.

    Great result against a scrappy desperate Doggies & Razor's best efforts to keep them in the match.

    Nice win, slogged it out. But bet they're glad to have the extended break, looked tired.

    Was that James Magner in the rooms?

    Solid Win. Bulldogs came at us early, played with quick ball movement and looked quicker than us. Had a good run with the umps to start.

    Hope Lever is ok.

    How can a player of Fritsch’s build take 14 marks in senior AFL football?

    Freak.

    We have won SIX in a row peeps first time since 2006  

    Game was interesting and we were at times sloppy with our disposal which is probably a bit of a hang over from last weeks game. 

    Good to see a game where we came from behind and didn’t have it all our own way. 

    Congrats Jones on ur 250 game. 

    Go Dees.

    Post match advising that Lever has gone to the hospital for scans to see if he has done his ACL.

    :(

    ABC grandstand are saying they have spoken to Melbourne people and we are worried it's an ACL. Let's hope they are just being pessimistic

    I have worded up my partner for tonights shift and we are madly putting everyone in bed. Marvelous how the residents all chose of their own free will to have an early night. Almost never happens :)

    (Good for the replay straight after i slip them all some extra "happy pills")

    GO DEES!!

    Razor's efforts in the first quarter were unjustified.

    Brayshaw's disposal was shocking unfortunately.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Essendon

      It’s Pink Lady night at Princes Park — a vibey Friday evening setting for a high-stakes clash between second-placed Melbourne and eleventh-placed Essendon. The wind-sheltered IKON Park, a favourite ground of the Demon players, promises flair, fire and a touch of pink. Melbourne has never lost a home-and-away game here, though the ghosts of two straight-sets finals exits in 2023 still linger.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 1 Steven May 

      The premiership defender has shown signs of wear and tear due to age, and his 2025 season was inconsistent, ending poorly with a suspension and a noticeable decline in performance. The Demons are eager to integrate younger players onto their list and have indicated that they may not be able to guarantee him senior games next season, in what would be the final year of his contract.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 2 Jacob van Rooyen

      The young key tall failed to make progress during the season, with a decline in his goal kicking output. His secondary role as a backup ruckman, which may have hindered his ability to further develop his game, and he was also impacted by the team's poor forward connection. It will be interesting to observe his performance under a new coaching regime.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem   

      Salem proved to be a valuable contributor as a reliable and solid one-on-one medium-sized defender in what was undoubtedly his most impressive season since the premiership year. He remains a highly capable rebounding option for the Demons as he approaches his 200th game at the club.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

      Following an injury-interrupted start to the season, McVee struggled to maintain the standard he established in 2025 as he pursued an expanded role within the team structure. He remained a firm fan favourite and the club had hoped to negotiate a new contract with the former rookie selection from Western Australia, whose partner, Lily Johnson, plays for Melbourne's AFLW side. Those hopes were dashed when he expressed his desire to return to his home state and play for Fremantle. Like all players who have worn the red and blue and are leaving this year, we wish him well in the future.
