    Another 4 qtr game!? What's happened? It's almost like we've worked out that it's easier to play for the whole game! You almost don't need a gameplan haha (almost).

    Trac and Maxxy were magnificent. A+++

    Jackson, awesome stuff - so much potential. The extra height around the ground is precious.

    Weid did exactly what we want from him. More, please! 

    It's crazy how our forwards can kick goals when the ball is actually delivered to them!? 

    Better, so much better. Always a heartwarming feeling to pump the Hawks. The lions will be a real test of where we're at. Would be great to continue this upward trend.

    Go Dees, finally something to be pleased with amidst all the other mess.

    So good to see the team put in a performance that we can’t really complain about. Sure, there was some poor play, but it didn’t define the game. Keep up this kind of footy and the future looks bright.

    Petracca has developed TIME, he has soo much time

    In the last quarter I saw three Hawthorn players too scared to go near him when he kicked that ball.

    Don't know if we beat much today but a 7 goal win is a 7 goal win. Midfield group was huge. Pressure - especially forward 50 was huge. Only negatives - Brayshaw and VandenBerg should be designated non-kickers

    A Dees win and a Carlton loss after the siren - couldn't be happier!

    Blues losing was actually really good for us. Port are a lock for finals. Blues competing with us for a spot.

    Can someone shut down that weightman is better than kozzy thread ASAP.

    Everytime kossy gets his hands on the ball i wet myself. He offers so much more than weightman, i'm really glad we picked him up. 

    The great legacy of the 36 lives on!!!

    Positives everywhere, especially in the middle of the ground where we were dominant.

    But for the first time in a long time, we look dangerous in the forward 50. Owed in no small part to Weideman flying at everything and bringing the ball to ground with Pickett looking dangerous whenever he gets within 10 metres of the drop of the ball. Jackson is going to be a ten year plus player. And a bloke called Harley Bennell is looking like a god send.

    Many on here have been calling out forever to fix up the forwardline. On today’s evidence we have taken big strides towards doing just that.

    Reward for effort. Of which there was bucketloads.

    We’re back baby.

    Its honestly mystifying that it took until last week for the coaches to play Weideman. Our structure looks so much better with him crashing packs and clunking marks. Great to see him get on the end of a few goals. Probably should've finished with five. 

    Also....Luke Jackson: 14 touches, three marks (two contested), three tackles and a goal in just his second game. Early days, but Action Jackson looks super impressive.

    Weid has captured some 2018 year form.   Jackson has the goods and is going to be a fine player for us.

    Just wanted to highlight this - while he will have some quiet games over the coming weeks, I think we got a real glimpse today of why we drafted Jackson at three.  He did it all - good skills, took some key marks, and even laid some really important tackles.  He has got plenty of strings in his bow and I'm excited to see him develop.

    Brilliant team effort. The pressure in the first half was off the chart i thought. A quarter of our total tackle count came inside our forward 50. 

    We head to the sunshine state with some confidence now. Can’t wait for next week, Weid building nicely and a date with Andrews ( best full back imo) awaits.

    Really pleased with OMac and Weed - both had question marks against them but have been great.

    Omac is actually a really dependable kick. He’s starting to grow on me.

    Great win, so many good signs.

    Hope those of you still in Vic (assuming most) enjoyed it.

    Cant wait to get to the game at Metricon next week.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

    • PREGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Western Bulldogs

      The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
