One for the believers. 

Fantastic post-match interview with Nathan Jones here: http://m.melbournefc.com.au/video/2018-08-19/rd-22-nathan-jones-postmatch

Talks about dealing with what must have been a crippling weight of expectations over a 12 year period, and how he has grown as a leader, learning more about himself and footy over the last 2 years than ever before.

Dees’ fans, time to cast aside the veil of negativity for good, and start believing.

    Somebody please just hold me as I sob. 

    I cried. 12 years of hell. Of being the butt of jokes. Of being pitied and laughed at all at once. Yeah, I cried. What happens next will either be [censored] or gold, but, for the first time in a long time they didn't break my heart when something that mattered was on the line.

    Rewatching the last quarter Dean Kent what an effort. Tackling and inferred pressure was incredible and well and truly earnt his spot.

    If we win and Freo beat Collingwood we finish fourth. I’m barracking for that!

    Oh, me too - but after this week, and with the pies obviously keen to keep top 4, I just can't see Freo winning. I mean, I'll take it haha, but I just can't see it happening.

    We beat West in West. Not even tigers could do that

    Took them ages to play "It's a Grand Old Flag". Had to take their song out of the cassette and find ours. They are so used to winning there. Surely our win there last year may have given them a clue.

    So glad he is back.  Have always liked him and his early season form in the seniors was very good, even if only for a couple of games before he got hurt.

    And how about that clutch goal.. must have felt amazing for him.

    Anyone know what the busy up with lecras and Jetta was about ?

    I suspect something very inappropriate was said by LeCras in frustration. Jetta was livid and LeCras seemed to be trying to apologise after the initial scuffle. That is how it looked to me anyway.

    The look in Jetta’s eyes says otherwise...

    Yeah, I don't buy that. Maybe Goody is being diplomatic, or Nev wanted to be the bigger guy after it all, but I don't think it was about a mark. Nev was wayyyy too angry.

    Spargos running and repeat efforts show why he plays over Garlett 

    Great aerial work in contests by Weid

    Weideman showed me something today that I didn't know was in him. The way he attacked the ball in flight was fantastic, he clunked one or two and with a bit more luck would've had a lot more. Some more experience and he'll be smashing packs and grabbing marks.

    I've loved Spargo since his first game, still needs to learn not to drop in and out of games but there was one effort in particular (3rd quarter) where he got that ball on defensive wing, ran forward kicked then buttered up at the next contest. Kids gonna be a player, he has heart.

    If so, not sure why Jetta would be losing it like he was. You would just walk away as you had won. I think Goody was either guessing or hosing it down.

    There was more to it. We haven’t seen Jetta get that worked up before that I can remember.

    Roos must be emotional about this as well, I reckon. He came to the team at its lowest, and would have seen everything. He helped to pick us up off the canvas. This would please him to no end. Good man.

    Good move by the coaches to sub him on at 3/4 time.

    I'm not sure why you would bother posting this, especially with the 'precious' line at the end.

    I see no need to bother with a slanging match, especially after we've just secured a finals spot with an incredible win.  Let's put all the other stuff aside and agree, for once, to enjoy it as Melbourne fans!

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
