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.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
