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: Sydney

    A few weeks ago, I visited a fellow Melbourne Football Club supporter in hospital, and our conversation inevitably shifted from his health diagnosis to the well-being of our football team. Like him, Melbourne had faced challenges in recent months, but an intervention - in his case, surgery, and in the team's case, a change in game style - had brought about much improvement.  The team's professionals had altered its game style from a pedestrian and slow-moving approach, which yielded an average of merely 60 points for five winless games, to a faster and more direct style. This shift led to three consecutive wins and a strong competitive effort in the fourth game, albeit with a tired finish against Hawthorn, a strong premiership contender.  As we discussed our team's recent health improvement, I shared my observations on the changes within the team, including the refreshed style, the introduction of new young talent, such as rising stars Caleb Windsor, Harvey Langford, and Xavier Lindsay, and the rebranding of Kozzy Pickett from a small forward to a midfield machine who can still get among the goals. I also highlighted the dominance of captain Max Gawn in the ruck and the resurgence in form in a big way of midfield superstars Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver.

  • 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?
