The moment Joel Smith unnecessarily rushed his kick from a mark early in the last quarter I knew we were in trouble.

Zero game sense.

Do us all a favour and give yourself an uppercut you [censored] 

 

GREAT WIN!!!!

A really good tough win ... in terms of important wins,  that is our best win for the season.

The Crows were always going to come back at us in the last quarter - they are no mug side and they're on their own turf. 

But we matched it with them in the first half and hung in there and then played a great 3rd quarter. 

A great win!

 I don't think we are weak in recent last quarters.  Both Geelong and Adelaide have recently had 10 day breaks.  Whereas we have had 7 day breaks after a Darwin game a few weeks ago.  Huge effort to almost hold on last week

Adelaide should have been much fresher than us and we had a few walking wounded tonight eg Hogan and Harmes.  A mammoth effort for the team to hold on.

Very proud of the lads.

Some smart football throughout tonight and after weathering the early storm a getting over a lot of fumbling the boys were very good in their decision making and playing the percentages.

Tmac was exceptional with his body work and plenty of smart body work by all around the stoppages

Love how much hate we are getting on bigfooty.

If we get viney hibberd & hunt (back to his best form) we are going to be very scary in September.

2 things: 

1. Clayton Oliver is unbelievable. He is the best player I have seen in a Melbourne jumper. Ever. 

2. If Frost can stop touching things: eg- the ball, the opposition etc, I really think he could be a player

I love this club. It makes me anxious, frustrated and angry sometimes but wins like that just make your weekend. I’m happy for the club and all of you guys, the supporters. Heart still racing!

Big club circle for the song and FMD, Goodwin showed emotion. So happy right now.

I think I broke my hand tonight? 

We played one good quarter. Not enough against good teams. 

FFS enjoy it. They are a good side. We played hard tough footy in the first half but lacked polish. We then dominated in a hostile environment and held them out in the last.

Don't be like that, Jaded!  You can't tell me you didn't fire up when Nibbler kicked that sealer at the end.  I won't dispute your point above, but that's for later on.  Enjoy a win in enemy territory that keeps our season well and truly alive!!!

That sealer... dancing around the kitchen after that! ""We're going to win! [censored] you Adelaide ! Get [censored] Adelaide!"

Eddie is one of my favourite non-Melbourne players to watch. He absolutely saved our asses with that miss

Jesse Hogan winning that 1 on 1 in those conditions with 20 seconds and the give off to Trac to ANB for the goal was awesome.

Couple of great tackles in defensive 50 by O Mac and Salem really helped us in the dying stages.

    TRAINING: Tuesday 28th May 2024

    Veteran Demonland Trackwatcher Kev Martin returned to the training track to bring you the following observations from Gosch's Paddock this morning. Beautiful morning for training. The dew has dried, out from AAMI, quiet chatting. Maysie does his heart symbol. 7 in rehab, Turner, Hore, Sestan, BBB, Petty, Spargo and Schache. All in runners. Melky weighted and change of angles work. Salem has his individual program. White cap (no contact), Howes, Woewodin and Sparrow

    GALLANT by KC from Casey

    The world “gallant” is not one that is readily acceptable to losing teams in our game of football so when it was used in the context of the Casey Demons’ loss to Sandringham in yesterday’s match at Casey Fields, it left a bitter taste in the mouth.  The Demons went into the game against the St Kilda affiliated Zebras with the advantage of playing on their home turf (not that this has been a major asset in 2024) and with very little else going in their favour. The Saints have close to a full

    MEANWHILE by Whispering Jack

    … meanwhile, at about the same time that Narrm was putting its feet on the accelerator to obliterate the long-suffering Euro-Yroke combination, I heard someone mention in passing that Kuwarna was leading Waalitj Marawar by a whopping 46 to 1 halfway through the second quarter of their game over in Adelaide. “What is football coming to?” I asked myself.  In front of my eyes, the Demons were smashing it through the midfield, forcing turnovers and getting the footy to their forwards who w

    POSTGAME: Rd 11 vs St. Kilda

    After a very wasteful first half of footy the Demons ended up cruising to a clinical victory over the Saints by 38 points at the MCG and ultimately reclaimed a coveted spot in the Top 4.

    HEAVEN OR HELL by The Oracle

    Clashes between Melbourne and St Kilda are often described as battles between the forces of heaven and hell. However, based on recent performances, it’s hard to get excited about the forthcoming match between these two sides. It would be fair to say that, at the moment, both of these teams are in the doldrums. The Demons have become the competition’s slow starters while the Saints are not only slow to begin, they’re not doing much of a job finishing off their games either. About the only th
