When watching the game live I have the sound muted (I can’t handle BT) but just finished watching the replay with the sound on and I have to say our Sydney based brethren were magnificent. I’m not sure how many were there but you certainly generated plenty of noise and I’m sure helped lift the team. I hope as many of you as possible can make it along to the SCG for the QB game.

If you are a NSW based member do you have to pay to attend?

Had a great night at the footy with my 9 year old and one of his friends. My first live game of the year and now looking forward to going again for Queens birthday. 
 

The crowd was great with respectful banter with the nearby Brisbane supporters. 
 

I really liked Rivers and Perry’s game down back. Rivers covers a lot of territory and has some great burst moments which puts the opposition under a lot of pressure. Petty was strong and defended well when we were under the pump. May and Lever did some nice things but also had some poor moments. 
 

My sons favourite player is Kossie who he calls ‘Crazy hair’ had an amazing 2nd half and I loved his goals. Some of skills are unbelievable and it was a pleasure to watch live from the fence. 

 

Was quite quiet and eery atmosphere early. Very few in attendance. It picked up after half time. I think the tipping point in momentum was when the brisbane lions cheers squad leader went [censored] up and fell down a few rows of seating. ?? Boys grinded hard and got on top.  Lachie Neale is as big a downhill skier Ive seen. And Dayne Zorko, Well Tommy Mac sorted that goose out then showed class and gave the midget a hand up.  

We are a different club to what weve all become accustomed to. Signs of a great club and Petracca ???

i don't know OD but i would assume not. 

And btw I'm glad to see you are finally able to enjoy our wins


Our little Demon group hit a mid season high for barracking noise in the second half last night, apparently the neighbours have a chuckle when a MELB game is underway. I reckon we engaged the neighbours of the neighbours and theirs too last night it was magnificent!!

Have always enjoyed the result, it's the journey that still worries me when it is happening. I am sure large part of the problem is having to watch on TV. I have never liked watching games on tv. Nothing like being there.

It is a great intimate atmosphere at Giants Stadium, yet was eerily quiet early. But understandably so. If I’m in my own lounge room watching live, or (I imagine) at the MCG amongst fellow members, I am incredibly vocal. But with a group of strangers, at a foreign location, I, like most, were hesitant to let go initially.

But seeing the lions demolish our game plan, was enough to set us all off. And once the noise was up, it just kept cranking. 

I loved the Kossie, kossie, kossie chant that erupted every time he enchanted the crowd. 

I loved the great banter between the opposing supporters.

l loved the supporter who fell down about 6 steps in aisle 290 but didn’t spill one drop from his 2 cans of beer (amazing performance)

But most of all I loved our ability to turn the game on its head, and run out comfortable winners, and I was able to see that with my son.

PS, hey Sydneydee, I have a couple of brand new unused ponchos if you are interested.

What a turn around in a game playing Team No.3, they were all over us in the first half but when the boys put their foot down and applied the real pressure we ran them off their feet and we just got better and better. Just how good can we get ??? My grandson and I were getting so noisy at the start of the third quarter that my wife went into the bedroom to watch the game. We now have gears and when we go into overdrive no one can go with us. What an exciting feeling, I haven’t felt like this before, expecting to win when all the early evidence is predicting a loss.

So proud off our Team. ??


Probably has been said but massive thanks and respect to that sensational group of supporters that turned out and contributed (without doubt) to our win over Brissy. F ing unreal effort!

Just had the misfortune of watching Saturday Countdown and Derm “jokingly” asked Brayshaw if Oliver throws it more than Tom Brady.

I don’t normally get upset about media but it just showed complete and utter disrespect for not only Oliver, but also Brayshaw and a team that is 11 and 1.

I dare say Derm wouldn’t have asked it to a player from a “big” club. It just feels like a lot of the media are having a hard team getting it through their head that we are the best right now.

He’s becoming to be up there with BT in terms of commentators I can’t listen too at a rapid rate.

That was utterly embarrassing by Derm. You could sense Huddo and King wanted to crawl under the table.

Watching the second half again now.

The midfield finally stepped the [censored] up which caused Brisbane to rush kicks forward allowing our backs to take control.
We rebounded hard, linked up and as the game opened up, it allowed us to kick forward to an uncrowded forward line.
Game over.

Right now I am in unfamiliar territory with this win loss ratio, so don’t know what to do with myself. I love it. Go you Demons.

Yep so much of our success is about the pressure we put on the oppo mids. It is this that allows players like Lever, May and Salem to get intercept marks and distribute the ball to dangerous positions. Love it..

The challenge for this group is maintain this type of intensity and ok if they drop a game  but also peak at the right time.....But very enjoyable with my 23yo son watching weekly win especially in lock down!

[censored] Dermie

 

Every one of those 'examples' he clearly handballs. Fair dinkum he is a .... up ...... Can't believe they pay him to comment on football

How about looking at how tbe dogs move the ball


I drink pretty heavily during Friday night games so my memory is generally pretty hazy of the last quarters of games. I woke up today and literally thought that passage of play that led to the final TMac goal was a wonderful dream I’d had. Watching the replay and it actually happened! Holy [censored], what an unbelievable team effort.

Whereas, Harmes seemed to rotate to both Neale and McLuggage at stoppages in the first half.

So I thought the way we used our mids to shut down their dangerous players was superb. Yze must deserve a lot of credit for this and the improvement of all these guys has to be at the feet of Williams, whilst taking nothing away from Goodwin and the trust he has in the players to play to his blueprint.

The real strength that we're beginning to build in our midfield though (and I'd argue it's similar for our back 6) is having the ability to lockdown on a player and then join in on offence.

Viney is good at it, but I'd argue Harmes is more dangerous because his kicking is more penetrative than Viney and he kicks goals.

But Melksham, IMO, took a step towards being able to play a similar role last night. Shut down opponents, but then join in on offence when he could. It's the perfect example of offence coming from your strong defence.

But Melksham didn't play a role last night. Goodwin has confirmed this and stated that he simply had a quiet game.

He had no role last night and was simply quiet.

  • GAMEDAY: Richmond

    It's Game Day and the Demons return to the MCG to face the Tigers in their annual Blockbuster on ANZAC Eve for the 10th time. The Dees will be desperate to reignite their stuttering 2025 campaign and claim just their second win of the season. Can the Demons dig deep and find that ANZAC Spirit to snatch back to back wins?

  • PREVIEW: Richmond

    A few years ago, the Melbourne Football Club produced a documentary about the decade in which it rose from its dystopic purgatory of regular thrashings to the euphoria of a premiership victory. That entire period could have been compressed in a fast motion version of the 2025 season to date as the Demons went from embarrassing basket case to glorious winner in an unexpected victory over the Dockers last Saturday. They transformed in a single week from a team that put in a pedestrian effort of predictably kicking the ball long down the line into attack that made a very ordinary Bombers outfit look like worldbeaters into a slick, fast moving side with urgency and a willingness to handball and create play with shorter kicks and by changing angles to generate an element of chaos that yielded six goals in each of the opening quarters against Freo.

  • NON-MFC: Round 07

    Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • REPORT: Fremantle

    For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

  • CASEY: UWS Giants

    The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?
