So who's nervous for next week? 

No seriously tonight was just awesome. To hold Riewoldt goaless after the 5 minute mark of the 1st quarter was outstanding & to keep Lynch goaless all night was brilliant. 

We kicked accurately & never let them back in it. 

Only negative. Jones didn't kick a goal

    Considering tipping us against Norf next week.

    SO worth it: put $10 on and enjoy the princely sum of $10.10 returned. ?

    We were in the top deck above Punt Rd goals. When coming down the stairwell on the way out, about 2000 people in the stairwell spontaneously  erupted into the Grand Old Flag song. It was joyous and awesome

    Last time I bet on a game was when i put $200 on the Hawks to roll us.

    We won for the first time in a decade.

    As David King keep mentioning this week we still haven’t beaten anyone of note.

     

    Well Mr David King. That is both the Grand Final teams we have beaten. Trust you now realise this team is a real threat.

    I bet against the Dees every week, no matter who or where we play. And I’m thrilled to say that I have yet to collect a single cent this year!

    It has taken some time but we are finally seeing the fruits of May & Lever with Tomlinson being the manure to make this defensive core blossom. So much confidence in the back six.

    The rest up the ground is just party time.

    Awesome call 3D, we are really well placed if Tomlinson can keep doing what he's doing, because he's been sensational.

    Could the 2019 draft end up being our best ever, Jackson, Kossie and Rivers. That draft could set us up for a decade!

    No

    How good is this?

    Seriously, a team that play for each other and a structure that looks right now seriously [censored] good.

    I love it.

    Have only seen the last quarter what a dour struggle. Six in a row and having now beaten both of last years grand finalists.

    I am lost for words.

    Don’t judge it by the last quarter, we were spent and just killing time.

    Watch the 2 middle quarters for some blistering demons football.

    First 10 minutes aside, we absolutely controlled that game. After the fumbles in the first quarter, I packed my dacks when I saw the heavy rain at the start of the 2nd, but it was completely unfounded.

    I’ve had too many drinks to post too much analysis, I’ll see you all in 12, actually maybe 24, hours.

    Yeah that was epic.

    They threw everything at us in the first 15 minutes. Most other sides in the comp would have folded. In any other year we probably would have folded. The way we steadied, didn't lose focus, and then turned the game completely around and bullied them for 3.5 quarters was remarkable.

    Our forward half pressure was immense. They had a stack of inside 50s but they were repeatedly delivering it under our pressure, and with no structure forward of centre because they were sucked up the ground trying to move the ball through our defence.

    Some will criticise by saying Richmond had two injuries. Reality is we were dominant when they had a full squad.

    Salem was BOG and deserved the medal. Petracca was great though, Lever gave up that one goal in the fourth but was otherwise fantastic. ANB lifted on last week, TMac started slow but became a force as the game went on. Jackson's getting better every week. 

    Special mention to Hibberd for his incredible tagging job on Dusty and Tomlinson for being the rock that lets Lever and May do what they do.

    And finally, congrats to Nathan Jones. Played a reasonably good game. Really wish Oliver had passed to him late in the fourth, but he got chaired off after one of our best wins since he started.

    I felt like we were just trying to ice the clock in the last half of the last quarter.  Once Richmond missed a few in the start of the last and Kosi kicked that goal, it was all over and we just went defensive. Fair enough. We tackled like machines all game and were out on our feet. I know they were a man down in the end with Dusty out, but they had 3 extra days rest coming into this game. We were exhausted and played out of our skin for 3 quarters.

    Oddly enough that game was the lowest my blood pressure has been all season. That’s how good it was

    Just had to find our feet after the first 15 minutes. Our defence is unreal. Literally 3 of our 6 are AA material. Amazing instincts by our players at stoppages. Sloppy patches towards the end of the 3rd but huge plays time and time again after mistakes. T Mac and Jackson are absolute beasts. Just love these players really.

      The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.

    • CASEY: Northern Bullants

      The Casey Demons travelled to a windy Cramer Street, Preston yesterday and blew the Northern Bullants off the ground for three quarters before shutting up shop in the final term, coasting to a much-needed 71-point victory after leading by almost 15 goals at one stage. It was a pleasing performance that revived the Demons’ prospects for the 2025 season but, at the same time, very little can be taken from the game because of the weak opposition. These days, the Bullants are little more than road kill. The once proud club, situated behind the Preston Market in a now culturally diverse area, is currently facing significant financial and on-field challenges, having failed to secure a win to date in 2025.

    • GAMEDAY: Sydney

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons have a golden opportunity to build on last week’s stirring win by toppling Sydney at the MCG. A victory today would keep them firmly in the hunt for a finals spot and help them stay in touch with the pack chasing a place in the Top 8. Can the Dees make it two in a row and bring down the Swans?

    • NON-MFC: Round 11

      Round 11, the second week of The Sir Doug Nicholls Round, kicks off on Thursday night with the Cats hosting the Bulldogs at Kardinia Park. Geelong will be looking to to continue their decade long dominance over the Bulldogs, while the Dogs aim to take another big scalp as they surge up the ladder. On Friday night it's he Dreamtime at the 'G clash between Essendon and Richmond. The Bombers will want to avoid another embarrassing performance against a lowly side whilst the Tigers will be keen to avenge a disappointing loss to the Kangaroos. Saturday footy kicks off as the Blues face the Giants in a pivotal clash for both clubs. Carlton need to turn around their up and down season while GWS will be eager to bounce back and reassert themselves as a September threat. At twilight sees the Hawks taking on the Lions at the G. Hawthorn need to cement themselves in the Top 4 but they’ll need to be at their best to challenge a Brisbane side eager to respond after last week’s crushing loss to the Dees on their home turf. The first of the Saturday night double headers opens with North Melbourne up against the high-flying Magpies. The Roos will need a near-perfect performance to trouble a Collingwood side sitting atop the ladder.
