    Shows how important Melksham is to this side.

    Hibbered good, Hannan great,Weed 100% holds his spot, did some really good things.

    Hooray for finals!!!

    Only question is who comes in for Spargo?

    It might sound silly but I thought West Coast hitting the front as ‘early’ as they did was helpful. It refocused and galvanised us. So incredibly proud of all of the players. A fantastic effort over there. 

    Shout out to the recruiting staff. What did we give up for Hibberd & Melksham? Where were Tom McDonald,  Hannan, Harmes, Jetta and Fritsch drafted? 

    What a day. Let’s all get to the G next week and bring back a home final.

    Me too, we were looking to save our lead, I thought that would end in tears, we play better attacking and just prayed we could do it.

    Given the number of outs we had and that it was interstate against a top rated side, was that our best win for the year so far??  I realise WC had plenty out as well but....

    He wasted a lot of opportunities and he needs to actually go for marks instead of pushing his opponent under the ball, but he is far more dynamic and offers more than Hogan has in recent weeks.

    We got a good run from the Umpires I thought considering it was over there. 

    Yeah I thought the maggots were very 'accomodating' today, surprisingly.

    Still a few dodgy calls/non calls, but far few that I expected given what was at stake.

    We did really well to keep the crowd quiet for most of the game.

    Shout out to Harmes who has really stepped it up lately.

    Still can't believe the resurrection of Gus, it's beautiful. 

    So gutsy, CARN DEES.

    JKH would be the only alternative... not sure he adds alot more to justify the switch though.  Spargo showed patches of some solid play during the 3rd i thought and appears to be slowly learning a little more each week.  Not quick but work rate is up there also.

    i knew Melksham was a huge part of that Forward Line. 

    The Weid, does he play next week?

    Playing for a home final next weekend, huge stakes now

     

    You Beauty.

    Can we all make a pact not to ever be a bunch of flogs like the West Coast fans?

    Let's save our booing for when we are actually getting dusted up by the umps.

    Got caught out having to come on without being able to put it on. Order was restored after a minute of play

    Well done Dees..... flying back to Oz next week and will be coming to the MCG to watch the GWS game with my fellow Dees supporters.

    Let's go into this final series with momentum and belief.

    Go Dees

    Umpires good, coaches played no funny buggers and as much as I’m critical of the old guys, they stood up in the last 10mims and had too. Great club effort all round

    Yes we have to lose by 150 points and port to win by 100

    Actually the difference is 357 points - so the odds are incredibly long!

    They are the absolute worst.  They boo absolutely anything.

    Can't agree more, I haven't heard a bigger batch of whiners. We got some lucky ones, they got some lucky ones, I would say (for once) it was actually a very evenly umpired game. 

    They're never happy unless they've got 15 more free kicks than the traveling teams.

    If Freo beat the filth and Sydney and Hawthorn don't draw (so one of them stays on 14 wins), then our percentage would see us slide into 4th.

    • POSTGAME: Sydney

      The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.

    • CASEY: Northern Bullants

      The Casey Demons travelled to a windy Cramer Street, Preston yesterday and blew the Northern Bullants off the ground for three quarters before shutting up shop in the final term, coasting to a much-needed 71-point victory after leading by almost 15 goals at one stage. It was a pleasing performance that revived the Demons’ prospects for the 2025 season but, at the same time, very little can be taken from the game because of the weak opposition. These days, the Bullants are little more than road kill. The once proud club, situated behind the Preston Market in a now culturally diverse area, is currently facing significant financial and on-field challenges, having failed to secure a win to date in 2025.

    • GAMEDAY: Sydney

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons have a golden opportunity to build on last week’s stirring win by toppling Sydney at the MCG. A victory today would keep them firmly in the hunt for a finals spot and help them stay in touch with the pack chasing a place in the Top 8. Can the Dees make it two in a row and bring down the Swans?

    • NON-MFC: Round 11

      Round 11, the second week of The Sir Doug Nicholls Round, kicks off on Thursday night with the Cats hosting the Bulldogs at Kardinia Park. Geelong will be looking to to continue their decade long dominance over the Bulldogs, while the Dogs aim to take another big scalp as they surge up the ladder. On Friday night it's he Dreamtime at the 'G clash between Essendon and Richmond. The Bombers will want to avoid another embarrassing performance against a lowly side whilst the Tigers will be keen to avenge a disappointing loss to the Kangaroos. Saturday footy kicks off as the Blues face the Giants in a pivotal clash for both clubs. Carlton need to turn around their up and down season while GWS will be eager to bounce back and reassert themselves as a September threat. At twilight sees the Hawks taking on the Lions at the G. Hawthorn need to cement themselves in the Top 4 but they’ll need to be at their best to challenge a Brisbane side eager to respond after last week’s crushing loss to the Dees on their home turf. The first of the Saturday night double headers opens with North Melbourne up against the high-flying Magpies. The Roos will need a near-perfect performance to trouble a Collingwood side sitting atop the ladder.
