Didn't get to see the game.

 

Especially interested in opinion from those who did on Jackson,  McDonald, Spargc.

 

A game against a very poor side only to be matched by poor umpiring.

Oliver and Trac in fine form.

Spargo awesome, Jackson rucked most of the time which was a shame but did well.

Tmac average but a good last qrt.

Gus much improved.

Lever in good form and Weid blitzed in the first half.

Many missed chances despite the big score.

    Brayshaw best game in two years, Tracc  awesome, goal kicking needs work. That was strange. Felt like we were playing Melbourne.

    So they had players on the bench. So some of their good players were injured or dropped. So what. I don't care. So sick of that team beating Melbourne, especially down at that stupid ground in Tassie where they always managed to win the toss to take advantage of the howling gale down there.  Happy to not only win the game but to beat them.

    Did somebody on Demonland suggest Spargo shouldn’t get a game?

    Only a few....

    Given the last 14 years, I’d take a 1 point win over North. So to win by 57 points (should have been 100) is wonderfully satisfying. 

    Petracca, Oliver and Brayshaw simply magnificent.

    Lever’s best game for the club.

    Spargo back to his 2018 form.

    Jackson lacks a bit of size, but his skill set.... WOW! Players of his size have no right to pick the ground ball up the way he does.

    5-5 with plenty of winnable games left. Beat Collingwood and the lid is off!

    Should have some very tasty ins back next week, while Collingwood are looking pretty ragged on the injury front. If we can clean up our disposal a little we're a good chance to trade places with them next week.

    Jackson was impressive, Spargo very neat and creative, not so much to write home about re T.Mac.

    Jackson was awesome. McDonald did his job but goes for Gawn next week. Spargo quiet but popped up a couple of times in the last when we ran away.

    Mick Malthouse said today that we have another 'wasted season' on our hands.

    Stick that where the sun don't shine, Mick.  

    Took us a quarter to settle, and to kick straight, but we smashed them off the park.  Disposal count etc doesn't interest me, as we controlled the game easily tonight.  We moved it better, we worked harder and we made it count.

    The inclusions all had a positive impact tonight, starting with Spargo.  Pickett was great, Tom did his job and Rivers showed some good signs down back.

    On that, our back line was sublime once again.  Larkey kicked a few but no one else really looked like getting near it.

    Our season is well and truly alive at 5-5 and a healthy percentage to boot.

    Bring on the filth on Saturday for the real test!

    It absolutely will be a wasted season if burn the huge amount of scoring chances we had today. 

    Any top 8 team would dine out on that opportunity.

    How good is it to absolutely smash Norf?

    If Pendlebury doesn't come back in I reckon we're in with a massive chance.

    Kysaiah Pickett is going to be something else.

    Norf fans would be ropeable they essentially traded him away for the most dubious first round pick in ever between the father sons, academy picks and the fact there is no footy being played because of COVID

    If we kicked straight it could have easily been another 40-50 points

    Well played boys, I’m not angry this time

    BRAYSHAW IS HE FINISHED?         HAVE A RETHINK ON ALL OF THESE PLAYERS.

    Spargo he is no good.

    TMAC Shouldn't be playing?

    Clarry CAN'T KICK! 

    Lever is overrated? 

    Have a good rethink about knocking all of the above. There is plenty of upside and just starting to find their mojo.

    Win AND percentage. GO DEMONS!!!

    Weideman really starting to look like a class act. Not quite there but trajectory is right. needs to work on straight kicking though!!

    Jackson gets ragdolled by stronger/more experienced rucks but is so agile he bounces back anyway. Imagine when he's got his  sea legs

    Langdon has a lot of good football instincts but by god he is a shocking kick

    Tracc nearly in the elite category but goalkicking finishing is the icing on the cake

    Now if we can get rid of some our passengers faithful warriors whose best days are behind them

    Spargo has his limitations but I'd rather him in than Jones because Spargo has upside whereas Jones has none any more. He's (Spargo's) a natural footballer in an era of athlete-footballers

    Tommy, it's hard to see as a regular in the side any more, but with a "see ball get ball" directive, looked better (damning him with faint praise) than he has since 2018

    Looking forwards to downloading the game from Estonia and watching it with the knowledge that the umpires won’t decide the game!!!

    It's official. Brayshaw and Viney cant play in the same team at present. No surprise that Brayshaw had a ripper 2018 when viney was out injured all year.

    I was against his section and he proved me wrong. Very good game and I hope Charlie goes on with it. He had several goal assists as well as kicking one.

    A good effort under the Circumstances 

    but we have to score more efficiently for all the effort spent

    But the last Quarter was great. We put the Rubbish out

    I know North ain't much chop this year, but a win over them is ALWAYS sweet. Particularly because we haven't seen many of them over the years.

    Trac (!!!), Gus and Clarry were great.

    Spargo was really good, more of that please!

    Jackson, again, really good. 

    Weid missed a few, but his hands were good, and he lead into great spaces. Plus, the delivery was pretty good. Amazing what can happen when you kick TO somebody!?

    We generally moved the ball around better, and had we had our goalkicking boots on, we should have won by 100. 

    Would love to smash the pies next week. I hope this team turns up, and continues to build on the momentum/development.

    • GAMEDAY: Richmond

      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.

      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?
