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....

Edited by dieter


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.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

  • AFLW REPORT: St. Kilda

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
