I need one after that!  And a little nip of Nan's brandy.  Actually she prefers Cognac, even better

    I actually thought the 50m was pretty clear cut, it was out by 2.5m when he fisted it 12 rows back and the umpire had called the out of bounds. I’ll admit I didn’t see what it was for at the time but when I rewatched it I felt it was very obvious. 

    The deliberate was just so unfathomable, it was a hack kick forward and any footy person would tell you we’d want it kept in. It was just as bad as the Clarry one given earlier in the night. He has nothing to complain about with the umpires, doesn’t stop him though. 

    I don't think there was one HTB or incorrect disposal paid against the cats all night.

    Must have been influenced by the fake crowd

    Have to say given how fit we are and how good we are in 4th quarters I thought we would get closer to Geelong. But to win against Dad’s Army. It was fantastic. You can ban me if you like but I was shouting F**k Geelong after the siren. And all sorts of complimentary things about Max Gawn!

    Remember when Max missed one from directly in front to lose the Game against Geelong at the MCG?

    He worked on his goal kicking ever since and  paid it back in spades tonight.

    44 points down with 6.36 minutes to go in the 3rd quarter.

    No team in VFL/AFL history has ever won from there

    Hmmm...

    Just starting to watch part of the replay. By chance I started it with seven minutes to go in the 3rd. Rowan just kicked a goal  to put cats 44 ahead.  Good viewing from here on in.

    Man, I'm still so wired!

    I'm thrilled for Max honestly. His last quarter was amazing - killed it in the middle, then went back and kicked the Captain's Goal.

    He's SENSATIONAL, and I hope he gets the All-Australian Captaincy gig!

    The greatest Melbourne win I've ever seen, given the stakes and the opposition, and frankly the venue.

    My sister and dad called me directly after the game and I was crying, and we were screaming. I woke up Ed, but what a good luck charm he's been. 23 weeks old.

    There's no way I'm getting to sleep tonight. 

    Oh and the fact Trac's name is uttered in the same sentence as Oliver is a joke. He's not even in the same league. If Oliver adds goals to his game, he'll be the best player in the league, simple as that. I can't remember a better game from a Melbourne player in such a high stakes affair.

    OLIVER PHENOMENAL!!!

    I just watched the mini on Kayo. He was epic. Just went missing in the 2 half of 2Q. Pity no body else stepped up then to just put a strangle on the game. Other than that 20mins it was a pretty good game from the boys.

    Randomly just getting all the feels for Steven May.

    He currently is third on the list of most games by current players who are yet to play in a final, with 168.

    Next week he gets to come off that list.

    That was a great piece where he quickly ran up to Max after he took the mark. Gave him a pat on the chest and a quiet word in his ear before he lined up to seal it.

    Bloody nice pitching wedge by Lever into the forward line too.

    Let’s just be thankful that we have them both. I think a lot of teams will be super jealous.

    I watched the entire thing from the beach in portugal, people thought I was mad when I suddenly started screaming and crying. That was the greatest moment in the last 50 years of our club’s history. One to remember forever.

    Now let’s win the flag!!!!

    Yeah the umpiring again was pretty darn appalling. I thought that last 1 minute was another Adelaide moment all over again. They simply had to pay that 50 though it was clear as day. Otherwise  there would have been a different reason for protests in the Melbourne CBD tomorrow.

    Hugely emotional evening in the land of the oval-shaped ball.

    Just watched Eddie Betts' final post-match interview.

    What an absolute superstar he has been.

    • 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.
