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: Brisbane

      “Max Gawn has been the heart and soul of the Dees for years now, but this recent recovery from a terrible start has been driven by him. He was everywhere again, and with the game in the balance, he took several key marks to keep the ball in the Dees forward half.” - The Monday Knee Jerk Reaction: Round Ten Of course, it wasn’t the efforts of one man that caused this monumental upset, but rather the work of the coach and his assistants and the other 22 players who took the ground, notably the likes of Jake Melksham, Christian Petracca, Clayton Oliver and Kozzie Pickett but Max has been magnificent in taking ownership of his team and its welfare under the fire of a calamitous 0-5 start to the season. On Sunday, he provided the leadership that was needed to face up to the reigning premier and top of the ladder Brisbane Lions on their home turf and to prevail after a slow start, during which the hosts led by as much as 24 points in the second quarter. Titus O’Reily is normally comedic in his descriptions of the football but this time, he was being deadly serious. The Demons have come from a long way back and, although they still sit in the bottom third of the AFL pack, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel as they look to drive home the momentum inspired in the past four or five weeks by Max the Magnificent who was under such great pressure in those dark, early days of the season.

    • CASEY: Southport

      The Southport Sharks came to Casey. They saw and they conquered a team with 16 AFL-listed players who, for the most part, wasted their time on the ground and failed to earn their keep. For the first half, the Sharks were kept in the game by the Demons’ poor use of the football, it’s disposal getting worse the closer the team got to its own goal and moreover, it got worse as the game progressed. Make no mistake, Casey was far and away the better team in the first half, it was winning the ruck duels through Tom Campbell’s solid performance but it was the scoreboard that told the story.

    • PREGAME: Sydney

      Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?
