    Wow. Biggest in-game challenge for the year, being absolutely on the ropes at half time against the rampaging 7-on-the-trot Lions, and we met it. I thought last week was just about the best win in many, many years but this one might have even topped it.

    Listen up Dees fans. There will be ups and downs, but don’t EVER write this team off. We are a very good football team.

    Nobody wants us to win. Commentators and journalists want to maintain the narrative about our football club - soft, shaky, lazy. But we aren’t any of those things. We are hard and fast. Stick fat, stick together, and never ever doubt this current group.

    Go Dees.

    I think no-one expects us to win, including many of us until 4 or 5 weeks ago.

    Now we do. (Even when we don't if that makes sense.)

    This may sound strange but I am really struggling to get used to this. Best win of the year.

    I'll write more later, but wow. We are watching a proper football team. I did not see that coming. Now I'm convinced. We're the real deal. 

    GO YOU MIGHTY REDLEGS!!!!!!

    Spargo doesn’t waste a kick. He doesn’t do the “traditional” small forward magic, but if he gets the ball, it goes to a teammate every time. I’ve come around.

    My position on Spargo has been that he "adds value" to the ball. When he gets it he regularly leaves us in a better position that before he got it.

    I think 7 score involvements (only 1 during shot) from 14 disposals is evidence of this. He is creative, and scores flow from his possession of the ball.

    2018 he was superb at this, 2019 he had a shocker. But he has been good since.

    Tom McDonald's conduct after receiving that elbow to the jaw from Dane Zorko was exemplary. He pushed back and Zorko staged a fall. Macca then leaned over the prostate Zorko and told him the time of day. Effen AWESOME. After that the umpire awarded Macca the free kick and reported Zorko. MACCA...UNCOMPROMISING...TOUGH...ALL CLASS. Well done Tom McDonald!

    Jeez mate, get a grip. Who cares about the umpires. They’re the same every week, why let it soil the mood?

    Well @DemonOX your mum was pleasantly surprised that we were on top of the ladder during the week. Imagine how she’d feel right now smiling down at her boy watching his mighty Dees get the job done. ❤️?

    Rivers another who stepped it up in the second half. Started playing in front, took a couple of hugely important marks, and gave us heaps of drive through the middle.

    But make no mistake it was Oliver and Trac who turned it for us. Oliver’s drive is immense now that he’s finally kicking it more like we’ve all been hoping he would, but still has those quick hands to create stuff like Tom McDonald’s goal out of nothing. And Trac just holds his feet in the contest when he’s in it but explodes away from it with such power. 

    Definitely two of the best 5-6 players in the comp now. I can’t think of anyone other than Dusty I’d rather have, and even then I’d probably prefer these two. 

    Our defence also sorted out its [censored] in the second half and May in particular took some great marks. Hibberd really shut Charlie Cameron out all night - he was a non-entity.

    Sparrow didn’t do heaps but flushing that goal from outside 50 was magic. 

    We are up and rolling. That was a massive, massive win.

    HELL YEAH!

    We switched on the afterburners and got the job done against serious opposition.

    And the best thing is (I think) that there were a handful of players who never got in the game.

    We are capable of so much more. IT'S SCARY.

    So, have we beaten anyone yet?

    This.

    When we go, no one can can get near us. Skill, toughness, fitness... an unstoppable force.

    Kudos to Charlie Spargo. Probably the best game I have seen him play.

    Two things to work on. Kicking for goal and tagging free kicks against. The misses by Kozzie, Weed, even TMac were very frustrating. Harmes, Petty, Hibberd and others need to watch their defensive free kicks...

    • PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      With both sides precariously positioned ahead of the run home to the finals, only one team involved in Sunday’s clash at the Adelaide Oval between the Power and the Demons will remain a contender when it’s over.  On current form, that one team has to be Melbourne which narrowly missed out on defeating the competition’s power house Collingwood on King's Birthday and also recently overpowered both 2024 Grand Finalists. Conversely, Port Adelaide snapped out of a four-game losing streak with a win against the Giants in Canberra. Although they will be rejuvenated following that victory, their performances during that run of losses were sub par and resulted in some embarrassing blow out defeats.

    • NON-MFC: Round 14

      Round 14 is upon us and there's plenty at stake across the rest of the competition. As Melbourne heads to Adelaide, it's time to turn our attention to the other matches of the Round. Which teams are you tipping this week? And which results would be most favourable for the Demons’ finals tilt?

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

    • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Collingwood

      Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.
