Cold Beers went down beautifully watching some replays

    I was at Flemington. Won on the ponies and surrounded by Hawks supporters watching the last 15 minutes. What a day!

    What a great 10 minutes of footy, completely owned them. Ripper of a game.

    I believe this game produced this one handed beauty of a pickup from Clarry (while we're reminiscing)

     

    I'll be delighted if we kick 17 goals 7 this Sunday....

    Dom Tyson played a blinder from memory.  That was the beginning of the end of the quest for 4 in a row.

    Watching that 10 min clip you could be mistaken for believing the club would have to be insane to get rid of Watts, Stretch, Tyson, Bugg, Pedo and OMac.

    Billy Stretch was excellent too.

    I remember distinctly tearing up a bit on the train ride home from Nagoya.?
    For newer Demonlanders, defeating either Hawthorn or Geelong was considered an impossible pipe dream back in the day. I felt quite surreal. It had been so long since it had even seemed credulous that we could beat them. Sure, we had gotten within 3 goals or so a few times. But their bigger bodies and greater experience made sure they had the situation well in hand whenever we put up a challenge. ?

    The dark day were over with that win.    We had not beaten them in a decade or more, and they were the reigning premiers.   Good times, good times.

    That was the also the debut game for Sam Weiderman. During the second quarter Oliver won a centre clearance that resulted in a Brayshaw goal on the run that I remember well.

    Who's to say I wasn't doing both? Surges of indecipherable emotion can cause unorthodox reactions.

    Probably the day that stuck in Jordan Lewis’s head later that year when Clarko asked would he consider moving to the Suns

    It was a Foxtel broadcast, not on free-to-air, and we watched it on my son's phone, on hands and knees - the phone was propped up against the skirting board (beats me!). When the Watts-dink-to-Tyson-Tyson-snap happened I nearly put my fist through the floor. And it was a concrete slab...

    Possibly the greatest isolated fraction of non-goal-related pure football brilliance I've ever seen.

    • 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.

    • PREGAME: Richmond

      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?
