    Enjoyed this one from the couch. I was doubly happy when the game ended. Firstly because we won. Secondly because I wouldn’t have to keep hearing Bruce pronounce Salem as “Sahlum”. 

    Interesting that every man and his dog was texting me tonght compared to hardly any last week. They can sense we’re coming ??

    Felt so different at the ground to last week. Last week was emotional and a celebration, this was more like a difficult job at the coal face, done with minimum of fuss, and are rostered on for next week. 

    felt like that on the couch too!

    We have become a serious football team.  We can win classy, we can win ugly.  We can meet a challenge head on, wrest control and go away with it.  We have a steely self-belief that will never be denied!  I love you Demons!

    Channel seven showing the highlights to the tune of Hells Bells.  Love it. 

    I notice there's more idiotic noise about Oliver going down easily to get a free, but nobody seems to be talking about Sicily hurling himself out of marking contests the moment he feels contact.  I wonder why that is?

    The two free kicks in the last quarter for taking the legs were disgusting. Not sure I have seen worse free kicks in a final ever.

    Just keep on rolling boys...we are on our way!

    In spite of many mistakes we lead for 90% of the game. Won it and the Hawks can collect their mothballs and commiserate with those other has beens down by Corio bay

    I cant believe we are one game away from the chance to break a 53 year old drought. My litmus was to m ake the 8. We were asking if Goody was the right man. The media said a few weeks ago we have not beaten anyone. So sweet to beat this mob.

    Giddy up we may go all the way.

    Just an incredible game. We were sat in front of the Hawks standing area - an arrogance of Hawks.

    Such great character in this team. As others have said, it is the future for these young guys that is so exciting.

    Best game I've been 2 all year. Will put us in great stead 4 Preliminary. We kept them goalless in the second,  went away from them in the 3rd & withstood their challenge in the final quarter. Great resolve. Tom McD is a gun so to is Brayshaw & Viney wills himself 2 contest after contest.I thought umpires gave them an armchair ride.

    I need a bigger bath...

    Still angry about the umpires.

    Huge love for the team, nothing was given for free, those blokes have earned it. Votes are super hard. Loved Nev/Hibbered/Frost/Omac, our defence tonight was huge. and Tmac/Weid ice water in their veins.

    Viney is a beast (some of the stuff he did in a he last quarter was awesome) and Harmes kept Tom Mitchell to 24 disposals which is a massive win. 

    Well done boys.

    100% and his 50m goal was pivotal!

    Interestingly in the presser - Goodwin was asked about the head free's - he dispatched the controversy to the boundary, by saying from where he sat - they looked like there was contact below the knees.

    Charm offensive for the umpires...

    Tell me WCE are not $hitting themselves, best travelling team is coming to them with nothing to lose and that loves their shape of ground. Perth will be quiet after 2 x 90k crowds.

    • PREVIEW: North Melbourne

      Can you believe it? After a long period of years over which Melbourne has dominated in matches against North Melbourne, the Demons are looking down the barrel at two defeats at the hands of the Kangaroos in the same season. And if that eventuates, it will come hot on the heels of an identical result against the Gold Coast Suns. How have the might fallen? There is a slight difference in that North Melbourne are not yet in the same place as Gold Coast. Like Melbourne, they are currently situated in the lower half of the ladder and though they did achieve a significant upset when the teams met earlier in the season, their subsequent form has been equally unimpressive and inconsistent.

    • REPORT: Adelaide

      The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.

    • CASEY: Coburg

      The Casey Demons returned to their home ground which was once a graveyard for opposing teams but they managed to gift the four points on offer to Coburg with yet another of their trademark displays of inaccuracy in front of goals and some undisciplined football that earned the displeasure of the umpires late in the game. The home team was welcomed by a small crowd at Casey Fields and looked right at home as it dominated the first three quarters and led for all bar the last five minutes of the game. In the end, they came away with nothing, despite winning everywhere but on the scoreboard and the free kick count.

    • PREGAME: Rd 18 vs North Melbourne

      After four weeks on the road the Demons make their long awaited return to the MCG next Sunday to play in a classic late season dead rubber against the North Melbourne Kangaroos. Who comes in and who comes out?

    • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.
