First off, I’m in shock and I couldn’t be prouder. Secondly, I couldn’t watch Max’s kick, I had to wait for my parents reaction. Thirdly, **** you cats, sucked in!!!!!

I will say this, I think the cats came into that final quarter thinking already ahead to next week and where they might play it. That is their fault, and I bet you the Goody and Max told the players to fight. 

So proud, not going to sleep tonight. We are top of the ****ing ladder, I of course want us to win the premiership but this is proof that we are the best team this year!

    Blessed are the Dees, for they can beat anyone from anywhere.

    Such an emotional experience, but then I've always loved roller-coasters.

    Go Dees!

    I wasn't able to watch live, but recorded and am watching now.

    We are 44 down with 7 mins left in the 3rd.

    I gather it would be worth my while to stick it out?  😎😁

    And the blue one.

    Goody might be Morphius. Which makes Clarry, Neo

    I've changed my mind, can we play the GF at the Cattery? Hahahaha.

    Actually might not be all that bad an idea if the Cats are not in it.

    Clayton Oliver is surely the best midfielder this club has ever had

    After getting smashed in the second quarter he absolutely set the standard for us to pull that back in the last quarter

    What a superstar

    I'm bloody emotional. 

    Take a bow Simon Goodwin. This is absolutely on you in being able to motivate the players to get back into the game.

    To our leaders, Max, Lever, Oliver, Petracca were all immense! Was really strong throughout the game that they simply needed to stand up and they did.

    Season 2 starts now. By Monday morning my attention turns straight to Brisbane.

    Soak it up lads. We're bloody minor premiers since 1964 💙❤

    Everyone has already covered how great the win was, but the deliberate out of bounds was screwed us all night the ones paid against and the ones not paid for

    Ho hum, yet another regulation win.  :D

    First time in our long history that we've won a game with a kick after the siren and some form of poetic justice served given how Max missed a similar match-winning chance against Geelong a couple of years ago.

    Yep, Karma’s a girl dog!

    When lever had the ball I said straight away kick it to max. He was in the perfect position. It was a good kick.

    My god the belief this team has is unbelievable.

    I wrote them off. Turned it off after the 7th goal in a row, was getting MFCSS from the 2018 Eagles Prelim I saw in Perth.

    Watched the last 10mins, turned it off at 37seconds when Brayshaw was given deliberate. Got out of bed - punched the couch and checked the scores. Couldn’t understand how Gawn could have goaled. Still in disbelief. 

    No one will ever do what we did and go 44 points down at Kardinia Park and win. We’ve seen history today and not just the first minor premiership since 64’. 

    Special thanks to Brad Close for the 50m penalty and to big Max for aging my comments about us being put in a spliff. We put the Cats in a spliff. Bring on the Lions!

    I'm incredibly grateful for every call that went against us. For we would not have had that ending.

    Unbelievable, thank you MFC, what a game. The emotions I and my family feel for this club and even moreso through Covid lockdown you have given us so much.

    Monkey off the back, to win the minor premiership in Geelong where the demolition occurred and for our caption to win the game after the siren it was the best script.

    Job half done, let's bring the same intensity and string 3 games together like that.

    Well done MFC. I love our club!

    We can now lay 186 to rest for ever.

    Just one curse left. The curse of Norm Smith.

    Seriously what a game what a win and what a round of footy. That is easily the best win I can remember. When Clayton Oliver plays like that and kicks goals there are not many players better than him in the competition love him.

    • 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.

    • 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.
