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.

    • REPORT: Geelong

      I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • POSTGAME: Geelong

      The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.
