That was 4 quarters of absolutely magnificent footy.

*Insert OTT hyperbole here*

 

Our kids played really, really well, and geez hasn’t Trac arrived.

Weed was a genuine target on the lead as well. I loved his whole game. Great signs.

So many good players today.

1 Vote for everyone.

(North might just be starting to fell a tiny bit nervous too haha)

 

IM AM SO PUMPED I FEEL LIKE THE MICHELIN MAN.

 

GO DEES!!!!

    I think if we can get ahead and then be in front when the game finishes, we’ll win. 

     

    Uncanny accuracy. It's either the luck of the Irish, or the kid knows his football

    Dees by five goals.

    Jackson to surprise with 2 goals.

    Weid to kick 3.

    We will keep the Hawks to no more than six goals.

    Yes, I'm probably partially drunk.  Maybe.

    Whereas this chump can't even get the margin right

     

    (But feel free to keep drinking, please)

    To everyone - enjoy it.  While it's only a win during a long season, smashing the Hawks by 7 goals is something you can't ignore.  They have embarrassed us so many times over the last decade and now it's our time to start paying them back.

    Trac was sublime.

    Gawny stood up as captain and dominated all day.

    Viney and Oliver were awesome in the engine room

    Jackson was the right pick and was terrific.

    Our backline made them look ordinary, and they have been building to this for weeks now.

    Everything is starting to come together and it is exciting to watch.

    Go Dees!

    Even the most negative demon fan couldn’t complain about that. First class performance all around.

    [censored] me .  We looked like a premiership side today!!!

    Max Gawn - A mountain.

    Petracca - best game ever.

    The good times are over for Clarko - rebuild.

    I made some serious money and ..... the maid has gone into hiding!

    Obviously our best game since the 2018 SF.

    We won all four quarters. We weathered their initial storm, then we weathered their early third quarter pressure.

    Weideman growing with confidence (would have loved him to kick that final goal). IMO a clear tick for the two tall forwards gameplan.

    Gawn unbelievable, Petracca likewise. 

    Our defensive zone is clearly working: sides are struggling to score against us provided we don't turn it over. OMac, Lever and May all worked well together again, can't deny that trio is working well.

    Langdon has been great all year and the more we learn how to use his gut running and space-saving on the wing, the better we get.

    I haven't enjoyed footy this much since 2018. Hawthorn might be a bottom 4 side this year but we outplayed them like a finals side should.

    Absolutely rapt for Weid. Has copped the abuse, copped the bad luck with injuries, copped the non-selection and now taken his chances the last couple of weeks. Good on him.

      It's Game Day and the Demons return to the MCG to face the Tigers in their annual Blockbuster on ANZAC Eve for the 10th time. The Dees will be desperate to reignite their stuttering 2025 campaign and claim just their second win of the season. Can the Demons dig deep and find that ANZAC Spirit to snatch back to back wins?

    • 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?
