If tmac has done his ACL we can continue this awesome form into 2020

    McDonald just says he “doesn’t think he did his ACL”. Jesus Christ! 

    This year is cursed. Horrible game. Skills are embarrassing. Season needs to end fast.

    Wow.

    That scoreline hilariously, and perfectly reflects where this team is at. We're 5 points better than the Blues, thanks to a goalpost.

    A draw would have been better, because I'm sure somebody in the club will actually see today as some sort of a win.

    Even though we won, I'm still disgusted. That was a pyrrhic victory.

    How many watching from home stood up from their couches and urged the Hannan kick to at least touch the post at the end?

    Kind of sums up the season, yeah, yeah, yeah then just ploop!

    We might not be able to field a team by the end of the season the way we are going

    Don't know the last time I saw a ball sit on the goal line. Too funny.

    That kick was the perfect summation of our season. Absolute joke.

    (Was a good kick don’t get me wrong, but how it just stopped on the line?!)

    I'm happy with the win, even if most on here will be negative. 3 down on the bench for the whole last quarter and we fought out a win. Wasn't pretty, but too show that heart says something about the group

    I love footy.

    I still love all of you.

    I'll be back another day, but don't be a [censored] - just enjoy a win.  No matter how bad it is.  I'd rather a W than an L.

    Cheers.

    Here is my prediction for 2019. Carlton will win a flag before we do.

    6 - Saty for having a whinge about the game day thread, in the game day thread, during the game. Comedy gold

    5 - MFCSS is alive and well, and something that needs some serious government funding to complete a study on

    4 - the $50 bottle of red I’m going to be getting from a bloke I work with for the win

    3,2,1 can go please themselves for all I care.

    WHen you consider it we gutsed it out in the last quarter even though I feel we were out on our feet.

    Sensational effort from Oliver, In just about every contest.

    Preuss was pretty handy actually

    I only started watching right about the time Carlton made a comeback so you can blame me.

    Hunt redeemed himself after being truly deplorable in that last quarter with disgusting skills.  Full credit to him.

    I look forward to watching the part where we dominated.

    If the focus this pre-season isn’t 100% about improving skills and decision making then Goodwin will be gone by halfway through next year.

    I've never seen it. Appropriate that it happened to us, especially this year. Like the rest of our footy this year, comedy gold (if you happen to be fortunate not to take it to heart), and tragic.

    • PREVIEW: Richmond

      A few years ago, the Melbourne Football Club produced a documentary about the decade in which it rose from its dystopic purgatory of regular thrashings to the euphoria of a premiership victory. That entire period could have been compressed in a fast motion version of the 2025 season to date as the Demons went from embarrassing basket case to glorious winner in an unexpected victory over the Dockers last Saturday. They transformed in a single week from a team that put in a pedestrian effort of predictably kicking the ball long down the line into attack that made a very ordinary Bombers outfit look like worldbeaters into a slick, fast moving side with urgency and a willingness to handball and create play with shorter kicks and by changing angles to generate an element of chaos that yielded six goals in each of the opening quarters against Freo.

    • 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.

    • PREGAME: Richmond

      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?
