I said we’d lose to Sydney and beat WCE!!! And it happened. Thought we’d get beaten by GWS but can’t see them beating us now, Dees win convincingly next week. Finish 5th

    I put my hand up as doubting we would get it done this year. Frustrated by the ability to take chances and inability to convert.

    Well done Demons, this is a massive moment! Whether this year or next, our time is coming.

    well done @Wiseblood for continuing to stay positive. Hope you feel vindicated and enjoy the lead up to September!

    How good was that! Milkshake is crucial to this club. Harmes was awesome. Jonesy played a captain's game. Gus, Clarry and Maxxy solid as always. Loved the INs. Hannan was fantastic. Didn't hit the scoreboard (kicks were woeful), but I really liked what I saw from Weids. He's going to be a great contributor. Even Kent gave a little in the second half.

    Modelling for the finals:

    First good news (from a 'I don't like the Roos' perspective) is it doesn't look like they can make it from here, same as Port as they need the cats to lose to the suns... Yikes.

    If we win (regardless of hawks Sydney game) we finish 5 and we play cats at G.

    If we lose and Hawks win, we play Sydney over there.

    If we lose and Swans win, we play Hawks at G.

    I really don't know what I prefer. I'd rather win (obv) and knock the cats out of the finals. Can't lose to them 3x in a year, right? Plus, it would be great for the story to knock the cats out of the finals!

    BRING IT!

    Thanks Trac. The Foxtel footage went straight to the Golf. Amateur hour again.

    Sorry if it’s been mentioned already but I’m too shaky and might have missed it, 7 news went straight to the news I was told.

    Biggest win in 12 years and they do this?

    It’s not Foxtel fault the 7 feed doesn’t continue. Foxtel always show the song on Bounce.

    I also hope that [censored] Sam Newman eats some humble pie.

    Pretends he is salt of the earth when he is the biggest private school bully going around.

    I do feel a little vindicated, but I am so excited to not only play finals, but that we as a supporting collective get to enjoy it as well.  So many of us have stuck fat through some of the worst football ever witnessed, and we deserve to enjoy every moment that this win brings.  If we win a final, and holy hell do I hope we do, then that will be amazing, but to get this huge monkey off our back will set us superbly for the years to come.  I hope you enjoy it too!

    I personally held my nerve in the last when we slipped behind. The maturity the players brought to this match from the very start allowed me that confidence. A big tip of the hat to Goody as we came out steady and a little less gung ho with our movement in the last.

    6PR commentators in their post match show are saying that Vandenberg should get a week. Late and an elbow

    Surely not enough force?

    I don’t know if it’s been mentioned, but how sweet to beat the team that denied us a place in the finals last year

    I want us to win next week, the G is our home and even though it hasn't been a happy hunting ground for us of late that needs to change. Let's start from next week.

    Ever since round one I've wanted us to face the cats in the finals. I want nothing more than for us to swipe those arrogant smiles of the cats fans faces. They've been lucky too long now, they didn't deserve round 1, and they didn't deserve round 18. Let's take them down when it really matters.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.

    • GAMEDAY: West Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?
