Was huge that moment.
They were coming the Cats and was a real momentum killer.

That's why I grumbled about Weed not wasting 30 seconds when he marked 3 metres out.

Was comfortable all week and said that we would come out firing - and we did. Poo & Wees will be slightly harder but we will overcome them by the end of the third. Dream on guys.

When the players ran out Jonesy had a big grin on his face, I knew then we would win. Was the smile of a bloke who was relaxed & knew exactly how he's side was going to perform!


And was about to live a dream playing in a packed to the brim MCG dressed in Red and Blue.

Pregame. As the players lined up in positions and the MFC dropped a beat from Eminem. 

To think we could play this?

5 years ago it would have been a ridiculous pompous gimmick...but it clearly shows how far the club has changed. 

It is perfect and shows we have many things right on and off the field.

go Dees!

I was pretty confident all night and never thought they were in it. The exact moment though, was a couple of minutes before Hannan kicked the goal, I said to my son, if we kick the next goal it’s over. 

 

 

 

Before the game, I saw Brayshaw in the middle with a few of the lads wearing their warm up jackets. The umpires came out to the centre of the square to practice some centre bounces, and you guessed it, Razor went straight up to Brayshaw and shook his hand with a big grin on his face. 

I just had the feeling that we were at least, finally not going to be dictated by the system, and if we were to win, it would be on our terms..

He was practicing them before the game and hitting a few.

As was Bailey Fritsch, and his were going straight and long.

This week, Tom putting the icing on the cake that Milkshake baked was the moment I knew we were home.

I still can't wrap my head around him being the best set shot kick around after spending some years cringing when he was kicking it out of the backline.

Yep. Hope he gets a full 23 games at ff next year and wins the Coleman. 

What a coach's mare having to cover him Weid and Hogan. A frantic shuffling of pawns.

Which points out the need for another crumbing forward.

We’ve been the beneficiaries of two MASSIVE moments in our last two games down to players from the opposition doing two inexplicably bad things and us then taking full advantage. 

In the cats game it was Selwoods behind the ball brainfart while Hawkins was lining up for a very likely goal. 

This weekend the moment I felt like it was “our night” (despite the scare in the 4th quarter) was when Gunston smashed the ball into the post going for the sexy snap rather than a simple drop punt. From the kick out Gawn beat 3 Hawks players (that got lost by a lot of commentators) and we went Coast to Coast. It defined the whole night, it was an arrogant effort from Gunston and we took full advantage. 

I also had a good feeling when just after the pre-game huddle the Hawks players were laughing. Loved that we wiped those smiles away!

I knew we would win when the teams where named, the hawks have zero depth, once O'Meara and Stratton were out they had zero chance.

TMacs goal in the last is when I was saying to myself we're going to perth. Was 99% at 3/4 time, but the geelong game during the season was in my mind.


When Melksham kicked his second I started booking flights, only looked up again to see Spargo's goal and then for the siren. Felt a bit gloomy at missing out on the last couple of minutes, then I saw how much flights were an hour later and realised I'd done the right thing.

Having read your blog over the years, I felt oddly proud of your composure in that moment. So that's fairly random but also well done I guess?

Already burst a blood vessel after the Geelong game. Also a tremendous cheapskate.

Did you burst a red or a blue-tinged vessel Supermerc? I need every tea-leave data-point I can get to determine if I watch the upcoming match publicly or attached to my 15-inch computer-screen . . . 

Funnily enough I felt confidant all night but I knew it was ours when Melksham kicked that 50m goal. The whole stadium erupted.!!!!! What a mommmmeeennntttt.!!!!

  • CASEY: Geelong

    There was a time in the second quarter of the game at the Cattery on Friday afternoon when the Casey Demons threatened to take the game apart against the Cats. The Demons had been well on top early but were struggling to convert their ascendancy over the ground until Tom Fullarton’s burst of three goals in the space of eight minutes on the way to a five goal haul and his best game for the club since arriving from Brisbane at the end of 2023. He was leading, marking and otherwise giving his opponents a merry dance as Casey grabbed a three goal lead in the blink of an eye. Fullarton has now kicked ten goals in Casey’s three matches and, with Melbourne’s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next week’s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forward’s efforts - he finished with 19 disposals and eight marks and had four hit outs as back up to Will Verrall in the second half - it wasn’t enough as Geelong reigned in the lead through persistent attacks and eventually clawed their way to the lead early in the last and held it till they achieved the end aim of victory.

  • REPORT: Geelong

    I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

  • PREGAME: Essendon

    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?

  • NON-MFC: Round 04

    Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?
