And to all the Fritta haters, maybe serve yourself a bit of humble pie tonight 

What about Cordy mouthing off at him after obviously getting him high.

Fritsch just went back, curled the goal around, and got on with it.

    Most complete game i have seen from this club in a long long time, everyone playing their role and great field awareness......... almost looked like the Melbourne Storm type of TEAM performance. Maybe Bellyache has been doing some mentoring. 

    Choco Williams had been a great addition and success. 

     

    Well done MFC.

    Umpiring was appalling. 

    22 is dead set the worst in the comp.

    He was better but he was drowning in his own bath water since the NM game and we all saw it.

    He is a point of difference but IMO, the 3 Pressure forwards and McDonald are more important than Fritsch and he needs to fit into that system and not disrupt it.

    So no pie is eaten this night.

    My ‘little’ highlight of the night was Jackson reading and roving his opponent’s hit-out in the centre during the third quarter. Wasn’t his best game but that effort was almost taking the pizz.

    And once more: the AFL's clash jumper "policy" is a [censored] disgrace.

    We can't wear red vs the Dogs, and in the Sir Doug Nicholls round to boot, but Essendon can wear a black jumper on ANZAC Day against Collingwood, and Carlton gets to wear its home jumper against Richmond, Collingwood and Essendon.

    Steven May was talking during the week about how much it meant to him to be able to wear the jumper in Sir Doug Nicholls round.

    To some it's a small issue but for a competition that wants to be elite, it's a disgrace.

    Fritsch played well but in 2 of the last 4 games he had been worse than appalling

    For all those questioning Brayshaws place in the side, tonight was a great example of how wrong they were. 

    one of the more selfess team games you're likely to see

    I hope the AFL let us wear the indigenous jumper in another round.  Probably next week would be appropriate.

    In the pre game picked us to win by 26. Only a couple out but boy have we some more improvement to go. Excited what this club can do as I think again we were not at our best but did what was required. Great effort and bring on the Lions wherever we may play.

    We're wearing it next week, we were always going to for a game in the NT I think.

    We'll presumably wear it again later this year in a home game against GWS or something, but this was Sir Doug Nicholls round, this was the round where the league shone its light on our indigenous players, this was the round it meant the most.

    Ok so my first thought was tonights win makes last weeks loss even worse because we could have gone 2 games clear of top. 

    However that was just a great 4 quarter performance. I seriously was expecting it to be so close and if I'm honest I didn't think we would win and certainly not like that. 

    We just dominated from start to finish and at no stage did I really feel nervous. For once we played practically a complete game and from the start to the end we were brilliant. We never let the dogs back in it. 

    I was watching on the tv while listening to mmm and they were commenting how when the dogs wanted to switch we just blocked there corridor. May and Lveer mentioned that after the game to. They wanted to jam the corridor. 

    Petty came into the game and did well as did weiderman. Harmes did a great job on Libba and I thought Spargo was great and Brayshaw came into the game really well. Love seeing Tommy kick the goals and Rivers was outstanding. 

    Well done boys.

    Loved it, remember the exact moment. Rover in a ruckman’s body

    If that was your first thought you need to chill out a bit.

    We're 10-1. We just beat a side almost no one thought we'd beat. We're 4-0 against the top 8, 5-0 if you include Richmond.

    Defensive masterclass tonight. Looks like we really didn’t like losing and aimed to address that this week. Focused, fierce and just fantastic tonight.

    He tripped over the fixture for next week in the May interview

    No, that was Carey.

    Daisy Pearce stands out in this commentary line up. The rest are morons.

      As the Demons head into their Bye Round, it's time to turn our attention to the other matches being played. Which teams are you tipping this week? And which results would be most favourable for the Demons if we can manage to turn our season around?

    • 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.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      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?
