Clayton Olivers 50/50 hard ball win that killed Scott Selwood in Q4 in front of the members was a moment I won't forget. What a night!! Great to see so many faithful there

We witnessed something special last night.

The birth of the new “Brutal” MFC

Posted (edited)

Ah what a night. Woke up by my masseuse this morning. Fell asleep during it. Now just getting this sorted to meet up with my younger brother and his family today.

How awesome was the crowd? I think it must have been 80% Melbourne EASY. We even had a neutral sitting near us, that was going for us. Said we’d really captured his imagination. Gave away lots of hugs to strangers tonight. Not really strangers, we’re all part of the big demon family. Wonderful game wonderful win.

Only thing is have to get that bikini now, groans.

To all the people who said they were done with this club after last season, hows your new club going for you ha ha

My favourite moment this season was watching the start of the final quarter..

Selwood pulls a free kick from viney.

Viney picks up his mouth gaurd as Selwood goes to take his kick.

Selwood tries to play on and slips over and gets caught by Jack.

Ball goes forward and Jones kicks true.

We're home.

My kids are 19 and 21. First final they can remember the Dees winning.

We've got some forward entry work to do but jfc we play some s**t hot footy.

How do I get from Ballina to the Pondsford for next Friday?

And how ironic that Selwood once told Chunk he was the worst captain in the AFL, step aboard the Karma Bus duckwood

Got home just before 2am - VERY long train journey home. My voice is not too bad this morning considering, but I sound like the love child of Barry White and Peter Moore.

That was a great game of footy tainted by some atrocious field kicking and decision making. But it was a great win. Our ferocity and heart was as good as I have ever seen. The only reason the Cats were anywhere near us was because of our kicking inside 50. Apart from that we demolished them, brushed them aside even though they also tackled well. About  12 months ago a lot of Demonlanders were complaining about our lack of game plan and playing style. No doubters now. Demons footy clearly on display.  And really good to watch.

The crowd was ridiculous - possibly the biggest pro-Dees crowd I can remember. when Jones kicked that goal it reminded me when Robbie Flower ran onto the ground for the first time in the '87 finals series. Goosebumps.

Special mentions to Jetta, Weid, Lewis, Harmes and Brayshaw. And Viney, although he was blowing hard at the end of each quarter, he was brutal around the contest. Welcome back.

Although Vandenberg was hard at it and ran all night I thought he was very poor. Horrible decision making, disposal putting team mates under pressure, and numerous unpressured turnovers. 

I have to make comment about the Holy Trinity of Dangerfield, Ablett and Selwood.  I am a huge fan of Ablett & Dangerfield and they looked continually dangerous. They really are brilliant.  Selwood's fierceness and toughness can be inspirational. But the continual moaning, gesturing at the umpire, glancing at the umpire, pointing at team mates and general all-round whinging of all 3 of them brought shame on their own jumper. It was pathetic - like watching some tall kid in the U15's who thinks he is great and telling off his team mates for not giving him the ball. Rant over.

Bring on the Hawks.

Also beat the Cats last week in the VFL and if Box Hill wins today then we play them in the Prelim next week.

First the Cats and then the Hawks, both in the National and the State comp.

Yeah, nah.

 The VFL Cats play the Hawks on Sunday in a semi final. The winner gets to play Williamstown.

Casey will play the winner of Richmond v Essendon.

I kind of hope collingwood win (ew) so a prelim mcg rematch looms for the same reasons. Id back us to beat WCE, but not their umps with those magical finals momentum shifting abilities. Got them back into game v Kangas back in 2015

I agree on that part, he did some stupid handpasses to teammates under pressure but his tackling was brutal and outstanding last night

I didn’t know that taking a slash on some random person’s rosebush at about 1:30 in the morning tunelessly whistling “it a grand old flag” for the thousandth time could bring a bloke such pleasure.

Next week we will take a slash on some Mayblooms

Spot on @Ron Burgundy

While I am a bit of an admitted stirrer (how could someone with my username not be?), I don't doubt anyone on here's sincerity.

Well, I might have doubted Doctor Who's sincerity but that is the only poster who mightn't have been fair dinkum.

    HIGHLIGHTS/LOWLIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Melbourne traveled across the continent to take on the Fremantle Dockers in sweltering conditions at Mandurah south of Perth in a game that delivered the club both its highlight and its lowlight in the first minute.  But first, let’s start by doing away with the usual cliches used in connection with the game. It was just a practice match and the result didn’t matter. Bad kicking is bad football. The game was played in severe heat, the swirly breeze played havoc with both teams resulting in

    TRAINING: Friday 28th February 2025

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers headed down to Gosch's Paddock to bring you their observations from today's training session before the Demons head off to Perth for their final Practice Match. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Beautiful morning, not much wind, more than a couple of dozen spectators.  The players were up and about, boisterous and having fun. One of their last drills were three teams competing in a hard at it, handball game in a small area. Goody

    THE ACCIDENTAL DEMONS by The Oracle

    In the space of eight days, the Melbourne Football Club’s plans for the coming year were turned upside down by two season-ending injuries to players who were contending strongly for places in its opening round match against the GWS Giants. Shane McAdam was first player to go down with injury when he ruptured an Achilles tendon at Friday afternoon training, a week before the cut-off date for the AFL’s pre-season supplemental selection period (“SSP”). McAdam was beginning to get some real mom

    RETURN TO NORMAL by Whispering Jack

    One of my prized possessions is a framed, autographed guernsey bearing the number 31 worn by my childhood hero, Melbourne’s champion six time premiership player Ronald Dale Barassi who passed away on 16 September 2023, aged 87. The former captain who went on to a successful coaching career, mainly with other clubs, came back to the fold in his later years as a staunch Demon supporter who often sat across the way from me in the Northern Stand of the MCG cheering on the team. Barassi died the
