Best bit:  watch the team at the end of the 3/4 time break.  Huddle with goody, laying down the law. Complete buy in, complete commitment.

something special has begun....

 

Watching the replay after this morning's driveway dawn service. Said it to a few people all ready in response to SMS messages saying "your boys look good"

This is the best Demons side I've seen in my time (1980). I've seen teams with better individual players and more star factor but not a team that is structurally better and which does the basics and 1%ers so well.

They are playing with purpose and look like they love playing for/with each other and finally believe they can go very very deep and maybe all the way 

Hope our two longtime demonlanders in @old dee and @Sir Why You Little enjoyed that. Hoping there's something special on the horizon for older and younger supporters 

Also how good was it seeing Ron Barrasi at the footy looking well!

I don;t fancy an upper cut but i'll happily eat some humble pie. He has been fantastic. His resurrection act this year is on a par with Lazarus.

That's the bit on the top, BDA

Considering tipping us against Norf next week.

If you had $50 on the Dees and kept rolling over the winnings you’d have $1,576.95. 
 

We’re already priced at $1.02 next week.

...with his usual perplexed look, and in regard to your first paragraph, i know that i couldn't help but reflect how happy we felt  being mentioned  by many thoughtful players and others, as being ardent long time followers of this Club. 

Some priceless moments of spontaneous brotherly love:

  • Petracca and Oliver hug after Petracca's goal
  • Max's nonchalant but ever-so-proud sideways glance at that hug
  • Big Max and Big Luke flanking Kozzie after the cowardly Mansell and mates got into Kozzie
  • Gus's gusto at the end of the team song.
 

I reckon every other coach will now be studying very hard on how to beat us, because we are an awesome TEAM.

This is the best list since our last Premiership. Certainly the best in my time.

i’m not sure about the “ best list” when i think about the schwarz, lyon, jackovich era. But it’s def the most united, fittest, team orientated one. that undefinable team thing that’s SO hard to get we now have. We’re officially in the premiership hunt!

We actually stopped tagging him at centre stoppages by the third.

Was that cause he was off the ground AF??

In case anyone wondering, the ‘65 team won their first 8.........something to mirror or better!

Then they sacked the coach. 
 

and we have been in the wilderness mostly since then.

We did what no other team could do, we tackled dusty, we held dusty and we injured dusty. I couldn't give a toss that he has been carrying a footy injury.

Not trying to sound negative but let’s not get too ahead of ourselves fellas. We’re playing amazing but premierships aren’t won by round 6.

Anyway, go Dees !!!

But who wants to play an interstate preliminary final... we have been smashed in the past ie 1994 and 2018.

How's that guy Kane Cornes on Kayo saying that Mrlbourne haven't done anything yet and Richmond will have long memories, all because a Melbourne player pointed at the scoreboard during the melee. At 3-3 Richmond need to think about winning games so they can challenge at the pointy end. Dees are entitled to their moment of glory.

That $1.02 was too good to refuse BA. Smashed into $1.01 on TAB

Quote: "Tiger veteran Shane Edwards will come under match review scrutiny for a late bump on Dees’ midfield bull Oliver.  The out of character moment happened at the 12-minute mark of the second term as Melbourne worked the ball around the member’s wing. Oliver lofted a handball over the top of a number of players as the Dees looked to attack.

But after giving the handball Oliver was confronted by Edwards who chose to bump once the ball was out of the area, shirtfronting the 23-year-old and appearing to collect him high.  The hit floored Oliver and upon returning to his feet went straight to the bench playing with his jaw".

The writer doesn't watch much football or is a Richmond supporter - that was not out of character for Edwards.  He is a serial offender of rough stuff. 

Does anyone have vision of Edwards bump on Oliver? 


How good was our defence? May Lever and Salem were huge, as always. Hibbo shut out Dusty. But a guy that doesn't get much attention is Tomlinson. Nothing fancy, but he is doing what he needs to do and is an integral part of the fortress. 

Need to check our points conceded stats but it must be looking pretty silly now.

He shirt fronted him with what appeared a raised arm and appeared to hit Oliver in the throat jaw area. They replayed the incident on TV  not long after it happened.

My husband grew up a Richmond supporter. Then lost interest. I’ve been slowly converting him for 5 years, but gees it’s been tough given where Richmond were at and where we were at. 
Last night he was celebrating like the rest of us. I finally did it! 
So cheers for the win Dees! ?

Saw this epic Demon victory from the 2nd level of the Olympic Stand. Three favourite moments:

  1. Spargo's tackle in the 1st quarter
  2. Kossie's shirtfront after kicking a set shot in the last quartet
  3. Singing with the full voiced Demon faithful "J-O-N-E-S-Y  J-O-N-E-S-Y" just before he was interviewed on the ground after the game. 

Will always remember Jonesy's 300th

  • 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.

    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.

    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.
