Spargo another great game. Hunt even better than last week (safer with ball in hand today).

Agree on both counts.

Spargo is just being Spargo. Now he has friends helping him out up there.

Hunt's game was exactly what we need from him. A couple of good runs finished with some quality disposal and some fantastic contest work.

    I can’t agree with those thinking Hawkins meant that. That was accidental.

    Onto other things I think Tmac to FB, Brown or Weid to FF.

    Are Geelong now considered bad enough for people to continue saying "but the Demons haven't beaten anybody yet"?

    I will say yes, goes for next week too.  But we can only beat who is put in front of us.

    Good win, keep them coming, bank the points.  Jack Viney underrated in Demonland.  Was super today.

    Umpires and our shaky first quarter saved Geelong of a 50 point loss there. 

    At the back of our minds, we knew the umpires would attempt at various times to keep Geelong in the game. No 'ifs', no 'buts' just in plain view.

    Incredibly satisfying .

     

    Am I alone in thinking Hawkin's elbow wasn't accidental?

    At first glance it looked accidental: after watching it a few times, Hawkins threw his arm back at May; that's no accident. And, Hawkins has form....

    Loved the way Tracc and then Fritta in their post match interviews emphasised “team” and playing like one. It is clearly their theme this year and the results are coming as a result of it.

    Couldn't watch live; still don't trust us not to lose a game like this to those bastards.

    Now watching the replay with no stress!

    Great team effort. Defensive work was unbelievable. Team assists unbelievable. Work rate unbelievable. All day relentless pressure unbelievable.

    4 zip - just the start.

    Finally reached team maturity - worth waiting for.

    Yep, agreed. There's no way he meant that.

    Kozzie standing over Selwood like Ali got my blood flowing to all sorts of areas. 

    That's what it reminded me of. Absolutely nailed it.

    doesnt matter

    Criteria as I understand. Accidental doesnt come in to it   3 weeks minimum

    Reckless, high and injury 

    Its mandatory right??

    Our pressure and setup behind the ball was first class. We will miss May but there were signs today that we can cope. Lever, take a bow, what a game;

    The team aspect of this is the most satisfying.

    Also the room for improvement with goal kicking and overhead marking.

    Petracca looked back to last year form.

    The defensive set-up is working well.

    Hunt played his best game in a long time.

    Fritta was amazing.

    Max with seven clearances.

    Viney was excellent.

    Best start since 1994. 27 years ago.
    27 long years. 

    I’m really happy for myself and every one of the die hard demons that have stuck with us. I know this doesn’t mean finals or a flag but we deserve to feel good tonight

    That’s correct when you choose to bump

    Yep. If he is good to go, bring him in.

    No Petty MUST be selected. 
    His form is deserving also.

    Wasn't that long ago we struggled to win two or three games in a row, let alone the first four of the year.

    Pity about May, hopefully it gives Petty a chance

    Our setup without/behind the ball is the best in the competition. 

    Yep, looking good right now. Wow, what a difference from the practice match v Dogs. 

    This type of system works so well when every single player performs and stays in line. I think it's finally clicked, just took a little while to settle. I wonder how much is on Goody and how much on Yze and Chocco? Probably evenly shared I'd think

    Jayden Hunt back to his best, which was all the way back in 2017, didn’t think I’d see it to be honest.

    We are a much better team than we were in 2018

    This is the best Melbourne team I've seen since the mid-2000s. I was too young to properly evaluate our 2000 team, but the jury's out on that as well.

    • PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Way back in March we contemplated the possibility of a Demon resurgence after Simon Goodwin’s summer of love. Many issues at the club had seemingly been addressed, key players were returning from injury and a brand new day was about to dawn. We imagined the coach pulling a rabbit out of a hat. The team would roar up the charts, push aside every opponent and make its way to a Grand Final ending in ultimate triumph with Goody and Max holding the premiership cup aloft under a shower of red and blue ticker tape.

    • AFLW REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      We’re back! That was fun. The Mighty Dees’ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commanding 48-point winover the Western Bulldogs, retaining the Hampson-Hardeman Cup in style. After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

    • CASEY: Box Hill

      The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

      The final game of the 2025 Season is finally upon us and the Demons may have an opportunity to spoil the Magpies Top 4 aspirations when they face them on Friday Night. Who comes in and who goes out?
