Those that knocked these doco's when they were first launched should have a rethink ... they are well done, are getting clicks which translate into memberships and sales, and provide fans with rare inner sanctum viewing the likes of which we haven't seen since 'Whiteboard Wednesday' with Cameron !!!

    I hate heights, gives me a cold sweat just watching that as I take a glimpse through my fingers covering my eyes.

    Melbourne - We don't have to touch the nurry as much. There's our 2020 slogan right there.

    By God I’m pumped for Sunday fortnight. 
     

    After watching the Eagles yesterday I’m confident we’re in with a very real chance of doing them over here in Perf.

    That was a great insight into the club. The boys look united, hungry and most of all happy. 
    Some pretty good ingredients right there.

    ?????

    Must confess I've never heard the term "nurry" before.  Where does it come from?

    Confirms yet again that the coaches watch a different game to us.

    I wouldn't have a scooby Demonstone. Outback rhyming slang?

    Fantastic finale to a great series. Kudos MFC.

     

    Good Finish to an interesting journey. 
    Jack was seriously peeved off after the vote, but after last year we needed a clean sheet. 
    the biggest lesson to learn from last year i think, is that when Dave Misson announced he was leaving, he should have packed up his things, have a few beers and a meal with the club and leave. 
    Sticking around for a full season after giving notice is never on. 
    His mind was elsewhere, we were so not fit. Continually over run late in games  

    We should go alright this year, but 17 other clubs will have watched these 5 parts as well  

    How Tough are Demons?

    I know it's all in jest (I hope), but only Melbourne supporters could find a bugbear about a computer screen. Do you think Tigers or Hawk supporters talk that way?

    A very good series that I really enjoyed.

    the showed the amount of work that goes into supporting the players and building the team. It reminded me that there is so much more to a footy club than what we see at a game or on the training track. 
     

    a good insight into the club and well done.

    Really enjoyable 5 episodes. Great insight

    Think goody handled the captain change really well and great how he addressed it front of the whole group would go a long way to helping Vin save a bit of face.

     

    Super pumped for the year ahead. They've done the hard work time to reap the rewards (fingers/toes everything x-ed)

    Good stuff.

    The focus in the meetings on the enjoyment the players got from being -60 in possessions in a low-scoring practice match is good to see IMO.

    Do you mean the camera angles (with the behind the goals camera from the North game)?

    The game must get pretty tiresome if you live in it with that amount of detail as shown with so many coaches and reviews and meetings and rules about where you should be once the ball is turned over at point A, etc.

    As much as I love it I think that would ruin it for me.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
