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

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
