The 4 points should go to May. A deadset one man fortress.

(But to be fair, Salem, Trac, Rivers, Langdon, Lever and Weed were also great ).

A lot of passengers, though. Which is disappointing, but also kind of promising - imagine who we can beat if they get involved!

 

The back line as a whole did a magnificent job.

May and Trac won that

We just beat a top 4 contender with about 8 passengers. That could define our season.

I think that's the best defensive game I've ever seen by a dee. May is a beast!

The backline was incredible. We got shown up by the Dogs last week in terms of defending the width of the ground but we clearly lifted today. 

May should get 3 Brownlow votes. Lever and Hibberd weren't far behind. Rivers played well too.

Steven May trade is a massive, massive win

Rivers looks very good too

We've got a real player there in Rivers.  Love his dash and courage, and he is a good user of the footy as well.

Don't want to hear another word about the trade for May, i think his performances over the season and especially tonight have justified the pick 6.

A trade special.

Some embarassing comments in the match day thread.

@Demonland can u pls pin the game day thread for some Sunday laughs.

And, if you go back and take a look, some shockers in the changes thread as well.

That was a big tick for Goodwin tonight.

Very happy, just a strange game and not used to seeing us win like that.

Yes i 100% agree.

Was impressive to be able to stop Aints scoring and actually rebound and control the game.

First time under Goodwin that we executed a specific gameplan for a specific side. Some horrendous turnovers as we tried to implement a possession game with our skill set, however that was a confidence builder. Reminded me of what Geelong did to us. Denied the oppo their 1 wood first and foremost

Big step - when was the last time we reversed the momentum and got the game back on our terms and won an arm wrestle? Probably 15 years. 

i thought we were going lose by 5 goals about 5 minutes into the 3rd quarter.

Tough game to  watch in the last quarter however the Dees  did it for all of us supporters.

May and Petracca  were the two best players on the ground and couldn't split them. 

I want to give some credit to Josh Wagner he was consistent all night and he can hold his head high. Well done Josh.

    HIGHLIGHTS/LOWLIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Melbourne traveled across the continent to take on the Fremantle Dockers in sweltering conditions at Mandurah south of Perth in a game that delivered the club both its highlight and its lowlight in the first minute.  But first, let’s start by doing away with the usual cliches used in connection with the game. It was just a practice match and the result didn’t matter. Bad kicking is bad football. The game was played in severe heat, the swirly breeze played havoc with both teams resulting in

    The Dees were blown out of the water early by the Fremantle Dockers before fighting back and going down by 19 points in their final practice match of the preseason before Round 1. Remember it's only a practice match if you lose.

    TRAINING: Friday 28th February 2025

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers headed down to Gosch's Paddock to bring you their observations from today's training session before the Demons head off to Perth for their final Practice Match. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Beautiful morning, not much wind, more than a couple of dozen spectators.  The players were up and about, boisterous and having fun. One of their last drills were three teams competing in a hard at it, handball game in a small area. Goody

    THE ACCIDENTAL DEMONS by The Oracle

    In the space of eight days, the Melbourne Football Club’s plans for the coming year were turned upside down by two season-ending injuries to players who were contending strongly for places in its opening round match against the GWS Giants. Shane McAdam was first player to go down with injury when he ruptured an Achilles tendon at Friday afternoon training, a week before the cut-off date for the AFL’s pre-season supplemental selection period (“SSP”). McAdam was beginning to get some real mom

    RETURN TO NORMAL by Whispering Jack

    One of my prized possessions is a framed, autographed guernsey bearing the number 31 worn by my childhood hero, Melbourne’s champion six time premiership player Ronald Dale Barassi who passed away on 16 September 2023, aged 87. The former captain who went on to a successful coaching career, mainly with other clubs, came back to the fold in his later years as a staunch Demon supporter who often sat across the way from me in the Northern Stand of the MCG cheering on the team. Barassi died the
