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.

    Yeah but he's tired and needs a rest....:blink:

    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 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
