Vandenberg and Frost - wow!

And how good was Weid.    

Bring on the Kittens.

Should Harmes sit on Dangerfield - gee where has this unseen potential (from this punter) come from?!?! 

 

Lots to like about today:

  • Great tempo management, especially in the third term.
  • Terrific pressure all over the ground.
  • Excellent defence:  Looks like we have virtually abandoned the high zone and stopped the 1 or 2 behind the square.  Much more 1 vs 1.
  • We are following a more traditional 6 x 6 x 6 game structure.  Works a treat!
  • Fantastic effort being 2 down players down.
  • Composure +++ .
  • Add we kept playing till the very last minute

Great game plan modifications by coaches and equally good execution by players.

 

Finals @ the G here we come!

Great to have some strong form heading into finals. 

We really strangled GWS's run today and played the game on our terms. Keep that up and we will be difficult to beat. 


What a win.  The injuries weren't ideal but after the first 15 minutes we smashed them off the park.

Everything about this game screamed that we are finals ready.  The contested ball, the defence, the class, the synergy... it was beautiful to watch.  We had winners all over the ground.

Maxy dominated again and should go close in the Brownlow.

Our young midfield - Oliver, Gus and Harmes in particular - are sensational.  Harmes has had a brilliant second half to the season and he beat Kelly and won plenty of the ball himself.

Our defence was excellent.  Frost was terrific and our older heads in Jetta, Hibberd and Lewis marshalled the troops superbly.  It took time but our back half is working so well now with Lever not there.

Melky and T Mac were great up forward and Trac provides the X-factor.

Little Spargo, while he still makes mistakes, had a hand in a number of goals with class plays that put his tremendous footy IQ on display.

I can't wait to take on the Cats in a fortnights time.  We are a better side than them and I'd love nothing more than to pull their pants down and send them back down the highway.

DEMONS!

 

BRING ON THE PUSSYCATS. 

GO DEMONS

Agreed with these comments on formation. Although we're still played a zone for parts of the game we were much less inclined than previous weeks.

If you dont believe by now..........

Extremely encouraging signs from those three.  AVB is a strong, clever player who brings some real toughness to the side.  Frosty has been sensational and his run and carry, while also beating his opponent, has been a treat to watch.

And it's great to see Weideman growing in confidence with each passing week.  Watching him clunk those marks, provide a tough contest when in the ruck and then slot a last quarter goal was awesome.

Wasn't sure how this game would go so extraordinarily well played Dees, ecstactically happy with this!

Great synopsis and great sentiment for the next fortnight! God dees!!!

I'm a bit filthy the cats beat us on percentage to be honest…. 


Harmes did an outstanding job on Kelly.

What happened to Tyson?

They believe he has a small fracture in his hand/wrist.  No idea how long it will keep him out, or if it will actually keep him out, just yet.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

  • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

    The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

  • POSTGAME: Collingwood

    Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.

  • GAMEDAY: Collingwood

    It's Game Day and the Demons face a monumental task as they take on the top-of-the-table Magpies in one of the biggest games on the Dees calendar: the King's Birthday Big Freeze MND match. Can the Demons defy the odds and claim a massive scalp to keep their finals hopes alive?
