    No.

    We are Melbourne, a sleeping giant, those that were there in 87 understand

    Imagine our next batch of leaders contained Duncan and Guthrie lololol. 

     

    Anyway... the best defensive game I’ve ever seen us play. All over the ground. Even our smaller players looked like physical bullies. Talk about clicking at the right time. We lost the games this year when we couldn’t convert i50s because the backdoor wasn’t shut, tonight it was baracaded. 

    Was only a matter of time until Weed put it all together, again, perfect timing. What a game, so happy for him. 

    Harmes 2.0 is built for the pointy end of the season. What a find, what a compliment to our midfield. 

    Tomald’s first half cleanness was so steadying. Didn’t get the goals but didn’t kill our momentum, he solidified it by dominating up our end. 

    Jack is an animal. 

    Angus is another one made for finals. Going back with the flight on the outer wing was inspiring stuff. 

    Just awesome. So proud. 

    The [censored] Dees!

    We are a team could have absolutely smashed them, we did physically but the scoreboard flattered them.

    Watched it with my 11 year old who jumped off in the dark years when he was 5, but he cheered as hard as I did tonight.

    Cmon boys don't be content with one win enjoy the moment and move on you are seriously becoming good and as the Reverand said in his lead up speech to QB, why not us

    Ability to turn over the ball and immediately win it back was my key take away. 

    Watching Selwood not geting a ducking free kick and paid holding  was my highlight.

    Umpires good

    I'm playing a gig at Lambys in Geelong starting in 30 minutes. I'm already half cut and they're all going to know I'm a Demon

     

    Exact same thing happened to me 20 years ago when my beloved Redlegs destroyed arch-nemesis Port Adelaide in the SANFL GF. Had to play a 21st gig in Port Adelaide redneck territory out in the sticks. They found out I was a Legs' supporter and refused to pay. Also threatened physical violence.

    Amazing feeling, so much Red and Blue everywhere. Boys were immense all night, you could see the boys feed off the noise level and support to keep pushing even when the goals weren’t coming.

    Achievement unlocked: BEAST MODE.

    Just got home from the G, and I don't think I'll get my voice back for a few days. As long as it's there on Friday!

    Our conversion was lacking, but damn we were relentless. Suffocating. Inspired. Animals.

    A really gritty and tough finals performance. No passengers. So many huge moments, you couldn’t help but be emotional. You could grizzle at the conversion and some wasted opportunities but that happens in finals. We put scoreboard pressure on early and didn’t ever let up. 

    I got the feeling that of the 91,000 there (sorry OldDee you were about 36,000 off) 65,000 of them were Dees. The roar when Chunk kicked the winner was spine tingling.

    On to next week and a much different challenge - can we break the Hawks possession game with our running power? Can’t wait!

    Saw your name sake and wiz tonight

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

    • GAMEDAY: Essendon

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      As the focus of the AFL moves exclusively to South Australia for Gather Round, the question is raised as to what are we going to get from the  Melbourne Football Club this weekend? Will it be a repeat of the slop fest of the last three weeks that have seen the team score a measly 174 points and concede 310 or will a return to the City of Churches and the scene where they performed at their best in 2024 act as a wakeup call and bring them out of their early season reverie?  Or will the sleepy Dees treat their fans to a reenactment of their lazy effort from the first Gather Round of two years ago when they allowed the Bombers to trample all over them on a soggy and wet Adelaide Oval? The two examples from above tell us how fickle form can be in football. Last year, a committed group of players turned up in Adelaide with a businesslike mindset. They had a plan, went in confidently and hard for the football and kicked winning scores against both home teams in a difficult environment for visitors. And they repeated that sort of effort later in the season when they played Essendon at the MCG.

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?
