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

Just want a reasonable shake mate

 

 

Without two powerhouses in Viney and Langdon too.

Phenomenal second half. Some scintillating ball movement and pressure lifted. 

McDonald petracca and Oliver fantastic

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!

He also offered him an arm to help him up

Petty was important, he gave McStay a bath. 

Getting better each week. Could teach a few how to one-grab mark (Weid, ...).

GO the MIGHTY DEMONS!!!

I enjoyed that win even more than convincingly putting away the Bulldogs last week.

Clarry, Trac, Gawn, T Mac, Spags, Kossie & May were truly awsome in that second half, well supported by many others, as is now the Melbourne way.

Who cares?? It’s not like it made the remotest difference!

I'm speechless..

To the point of tears..this is what it's like to support a genuine top team of the competition.

Simon Goodwin you are the man. The boys run through walls for you and you deserve every ounce of credit coming your way. Went through a family separation and all the talk was he was next on the chopping block. Kudos Mr Goodwin.

Tmac leaned over Zorko's prostate? 

Great fight back tonight. Midfield was getting dominated up to half time (Petracca aside). They really switched on on the second half and won the contest.

Our leaders all stood up and got us back tonight. For years we’ve had the talent but lacked the leadership. Now we’ve finally got leadership after years of searching and look at the difference!

The emergence of our roles players, the energy of our youth, and the consistency of the A graders has been absolutely supreme. 
 

We can defend, attack and play tempo footy. We can be slick and we can dominate in close.

That was super impressive.

Make no mistake, one of the best Dees wins for a long time. Looked down and out at half time against a very strong Brisbane side. Kudos to them for the first half performance. 

Which is why the win was so damn sweet. To come back and put on a complete 2nd half clinic was extremely satisfying. Love this team. 

Yep, that second half was one of the best I've ever seen from a Melbourne team.
Saying that, we played so poorly in the first that we should have been 6 or 7 goals down but that's not the kind of team we are anymore.
In some ways that first half and only being down 20 points set us up.

When we switch on, we are just unstoppable now. Just an unbelievable team when we run hard. 
This team is getting me so drunk this year.

Thinking about an 8 hour drive to the SCG next Monday. 

Congrats to everyone at the ground tonight, you sounded great. 
 

Odd feeling but even down I thought we had another gear.

And we did.

The moment they went short and wide I knew it was game over.

Brissy are sharp, and hit us hard. But it was unsustainable.

Too strong. Too dedicated. Too talented.

i love this team

Extremely proud. Dare to Dream people!

Whatever happens this year you'll know the boys won't die wondering.
They are hungry AF.

Not sure he's the right guy! ?

I know we’ve had a lot of wins so far (I feel weird saying that!) but for me that is season defining. It’s one thing to win when everything is working the way you want, it’s a totally other thing to flip the narrative of a match against really quality opposition. 

I haven’t been able to watch much of it due to poor internet over here but fair to say I’m really going to enjoy watching this replay. Looking purely at the numbers I love that we were able to flip the game in clearances and contested possessions. Given the year we’re having you almost could’ve forgiven the players at half time to say, “well this is just an off night” but they stuck their heads in and gave everything a red hot crack. 

There has been plenty of occasions we as Melbourne fans have been utterly ashamed and humiliated. Today I couldn’t be prouder.

  • PREVIEW: Carlton

    Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

  • REPORT: North Melbourne

    I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

  • CASEY: Werribee

    The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

    The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

    The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
