Unfortunately my night was marred by racist remarks directed at Salem and Jetta by a group of Hawthorn fans in Q1. Left me feeling down for the remainder of the match, but it was a great win by the boys. Go Dees

Don’t let the turkeys get you down.

    am surprised to hear people talking petraccas game up. He kicked a nice goal but he butchered about 4-5 very important and easy kicks inside 50 or in the forward half directly to a hawks player. the cost of doing that made him in the bottom 5 players for us in my opinion. Theyre so costly 

    geez doc, i'd hate to read your analysis when we lose a game. there were quite a few +ves to tracc's game too.

    Spot on dc. We can improve in a number of areas but we still won and we're in the lead 95% of the game. We still won a final in spite of problems. How good is to see a Dees side tackle and play tough  they took everything the Hawks could throw at us and return in equal measure. Tough hard relentless play is what wins finals.

    true od. all doc's posts lately seemed to be critical of anything. he needs to lift his veil of negativity and get onboard

    If we get our forward 50 entries right we will be close to unstoppable. Still the one thing that's holding us back from being an absolutely dominant side. We are still young though, the next few years will be bloody exciting. Still got Lever and Hogan on the sidelines too

    How good is Viney, the last 10 minutes of the 3rd quarter he just went full on Beast Mode. Reminded me of Marshawn Lynch circa 2014 for the NFL fans here just busting through tackles.

    The early HTB against Nev - goal - and the “below the knees” against decapitated Gus - goal - were disgraceful and at critical moments.

    All credit to our guys for not letting it get to them.

    Utter BS.

    Not to mention Rougheads Selwood impersonation in the last - goal.

    Rough head is finish he got two goals but he contributed almost nothing else. He will probably play on next year but he should not.

    How sweet is this!

    Feels like only yesterday I was posting about Jamie Bennell with Old dee or debating whether Scully would stay or go with RPFC. 

    Lap it up. Were finally playing a good brand of footy and have winners allover the park. 

    I believe in Melbourne.

    Our Town.  Our turf.  Our Team. Our Time!

    Folks, I think we have reclaimed The 'G' as 'Our Turf'!  

    And no-one but the Demons can call this city 'Our Town'.

    What a great time to be a Dee fan!

    On a side note, has anyone seen @Wiseblood recently? Hasn't posted since before the Geelong game.

    Of all of us, he's been the shining light of optimism over the past few years (and yes, sometimes a little too much). But I hope now he's getting to enjoy this finals run with the rest of us.

    Always been a spruiker and cheer leader for the club. I guess his services are not necessary now. If not then I hope all is well.

    Did you report them to abuse phone number or to security? If a few people heard it and were prepared to support your complaint, they are outski. Pricks like that don't deserve to be there.

    It's so dumb not least of which is because they have players running around for their team who would take offence themselves. Have they already forgotten Cyril?

    When I was about 15/16 a Saints supporter was making similar comments about Farmer I gave him a serve and reminded him about a guy called Nicky Winmar he went pretty quiet after that.

    Too right OD I've been waiting my whole life to see a Melbourne side "play like Demons" in Checkers immortal words. Not only that but seeing a midfield with the talent and guts of Oliver, Brayshaw, Viney and Gawn is something I thought I'd never see.

    So th e rule now is when a player goes to pic k up the ball you run straight at them, trip over and get the free.

    And don't forget to hit their head with your leg as you stage the trip.

    That was a disgraceful free.

    Viney's last ten minutes of the third won us the game IMO.

    Hard to argue with. He was just unstoppable, willing himself into contests.

    Also, a bit of Spargo love please. Not big numbers, but all of them seem to be important numbers, and great to see him getting on the end of a couple.

    Stood near the Hawthorn faithful- gee success has made them rotten arrogant A holes.. 

    I thought the same. Guys near me wouldn't shut up all game and were at us all game, until about half way through the last when they just shut up. I looked across and just smiled. So many around us were just plain nasty with their drivel.

    I think your description is a good one of many of them.

    He is so frustrating. We had 15 kicks directly to the opposition in the first half and he did 3 of them I believe. Did a lot of other things that were really good but has to get rid of some of the brain fades.

    One day he will bust out and kick 6 goals. Lets hope it is against west coast.

    On the flip side I can't recall him losing one contest. He was very good at getting the ball.

    • NON-MFC: Round 05

      Gather Round is here, kicking off with a Thursday night blockbuster as Adelaide faces Geelong. The Crows will be out for redemption after a controversial loss last week. Saturday starts with the Magpies taking on the Swans. Collingwood will be eager to cement their spot in the top eight, while Sydney is hot on their heels. In the Barossa Valley, two rising sides go head-to-head in a fascinating battle to prove they're the real deal. Later, Carlton and West Coast face off at Adelaide Oval, both desperate to notch their first win of the season. The action then shifts to Norwood, where the undefeated Lions will aim to keep their streak alive against the Bulldogs. Sunday’s games begin in the Barossa with Richmond up against Fremantle. In Norwood, the Saints will be looking to take a scalp when they come up against the Giants. The round concludes with a fiery rematch of last year's semi-final, as the Hawks seek revenge for their narrow loss to Port Adelaide. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • 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?
