G'day all! Been a while since I've been around the Demonland traps but I've started a new series that I thought would interest a few posters.

Apologies for the shameless plug, but for those who don't know, I've been editing and posting Demon highlights to YouTube going on 5 to 6 years. After a fairly dull 2019, I thought I'd rev up production on a new series to fill the red and blue void over what's sure to be a long summer. This series is called 'The Three Votes' and showcases some of the many best on ground performances we've seen by those donning the Demon gurnsey!

First cab off the rank was Max Gawn's BOG and breakout performance in our iconic win against the Cats back in 2015!

I'm proud to announce that the next instalment will be premiering on YouTube at 7:00pm tonight and will be highlighting the much loved Jimmy Stynes and his round 18 performance against St Kilda that would see him awarded three votes on his way to winning the 1991 Brownlow Medal! You can watch the highlights package at 7:00pm tonight through the link attached below.

Rest assured, there'll be much more to come over the summer! Go Demons!

    Keep it up man.    The more Demons content on Youtube the better.

    Yep, definitely agree with Jako. The more Demon material on YouTube, or anywhere for that matter, the better, especially considering the lack of engaging material on the club website. 

    Looking forward to 7:00pm for some Jimmy highlights. There's surprisingly very few highlight packages of the man on YouTube.

    I doubt anyone around here needs apologies for providing us Demon tragics with MFC related entertainment.

    Well, sure it's a good highlights tape but I hear there's a question mark on his game sense and then there's the go-home factor. :D

    Brilliant effort from The Mighty Demons and I hope the praise and views motivate you to keep going.

     

    I also have a secret hope that one day you can bend the rules and do Simon Godfrey's glorious day out where the only stain was that he was robbed of the three votes and only got two. (Robbo did take fifteen marks though, so I can understand the umpires error there) Round 15 under friday night lights in 2006!

    Other requests would be 

    - Nathan Jones' three-voter against GWS in the darkest days of 2013. Time to take a moment to remember what 'stalwart' means.

    - An Aaron Davey in full flight choice, perhaps round 2, 2010

    - Paul Wheatley, round 20, 2008.  Back on the theme of the role-player who has a big day out.

    Ahh, this is a fun thing to do but it is much easier to come up with nominations that it is to actually make the videos! 

    Great stuff The Mighty Demons!

    Thanks to anyone who tuned in! The video can how be viewed as per normal on YouTube or through the link a few posts above.

    Another thanks to the positive feedback from those who commented above!

    Jakovich & Demon Jack: Happy to add to the growing amount of Demon content circulating the web! You can never have too much!

    Little Goffy - Thanks mate! Always happy to take requests! Jonesy is already in the pipeline for the near future. It may or may not be the game you specified. 

    That match against St Kilda back in '91 was absolutely amazing! So as an added treat, Allen Jakovich's eight goal haul from the same game will be available for viewing on YouTube tomorrow. I'll post the link when it's up!

    Magnificent Work MD

    My last visit to Linton St. What a crazy Bog it was. Soak the ground on a friday night. As a Sandringham Boy, all my mates were St. Kilda Supporters so i saw many games at Moorabbin. Beating them down there was sweet as

    This is of great interest. It is a testament to drear itself that the MFC Web site is so slow with news/views, under-performing for supporters and deficient of imaginative content. Whereas the Three Votes has great memories inbuilt, a recanting of moments of supporter pride and familiarity with the past, and underpins hopes and aspirations of supporters coming into the next season. Well done.

    Would have been the first and only Demon to kick 100 in a season if his body allowed.

    The 90s.

    When kicking a bag of 8 goals was so common, you don't even get the 3 votes.

    What a great project.  Daniel Bell's game v Adelaide, round 10 2007 would also be appreciated when you get the chance.

    And also that finals game in the 90's V Carlton.  they were leading us, around the first half,  then 'the Ox' fired up and 'led them a merry dance, all around the forward half.  Leading us to take the win.

    This game was the birth of, Go "Dees" !!! ,  in the middle part of the match.

    I was at this game.  Lumumba (he was Harry O'Brien back then) got injured early and Robbo went bananas.  The filth supporters thought it was going to be a walkover and we shoved it right back down their throats.  Great stuff.

    A incredibly significant game for me and my family. This was our terminally ill mum’s last game. As four generation Demon family, we went with mum every week. On this day as we walked with her slowly through the car park after Robbo had done the business, she quietly said “that’s it boys, I’m done. That will be my last game, but what a wonderful way to finish with a win like that” (against our mortal black and white foes)! She was gone a few months later, but we will always remember this day. Go Dees!

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.

    • 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.
