Do it. Honestly we were all over them but for 10 minutes. It’s a testament to our coaching quality that they could see beyond the emotion of the scoreboard and remind the players we were doing so well. It takes a skill I don’t have to watch football as it’s happening with that emotional intelligence. I suspect it’s why coaches love certain stats.

For decades we have lacked a player who could turn a game. A young red head did it yesterday and I believe has many more of those in him.

 

Haven't seen anything apart from the last 2 minutes.

Why are people talking up Sparrows game? He only had 12 touches  or so. How did he impress?

 

Oh, and tsk tsk to all of you doubters.

The new and improved faulty had faith we would win (apart from going to bed after checking  the scores at half time).

 

This is the year we win the flag. Get on board and prepare your kids for endless gloating and teasing of Pies/Blues/Hawks/Tigers/essedon fans.

My only regret is that it did not happen with the stadium full of cats. Imagine? 

Woulda preferred a stadium full of Demons. Imagine.

 

What did Goody say at half time?? 

amazing coaching to get us to reset and not drop our heads. Back ourselves in. The boys will remember this when down 4-5 goals in the future. Trust each other and we can do it

That kid made a great contribution across the game - tough, willing, capable, with vision and intent. Put up with the dirty stuff from Geelong and carried on like matured footballer.

Well done, Sparrow.

He can take a mark Sparrow, he is a ripping over head mark stood up beyond his years.

Umpire judged that Melbourne deliberately kicked it out of bounds when that was obviously not the intent.

Yep, even the commentators were in disbelief. I think it was Darcy who was saying “insufficient attempt? Why would Melbourne NOT wanna keep it play?!”

He took some important marks in key areas of the ground all contested he was massive in the last, he'll have bucket loads of confidence heading into the finals.

What made it all the more staggering was that a clearly more deliberate one wasn’t paid against Selwood about 20 seconds earlier. That’s the joy of rules that require the umpire to read the players’ minds.

Doesn’t matter though. No free against Brayshaw -> no shanked kick by Guthrie -> no needless punch in to the stands -> no 50 to Lever -> no Gawn mark with 10s to go. All the decisions, good and bad, got us to arguably our favourite MFC moment of all time for those of us too young to see ‘64. Well umpired, umpires!

Guthrie’s attempt to waste time backfired badly when he was arguing with the umpire about some irrelevance and then told to play on forcing him to kick in a hurry and OOTF.

The umpires don't have a feel for the game, so always pay insufficient intent when it's obviously not

I've got a problem, I don't have Kayo currently, relying on Foxtel for fox footy (long story). I turned on this morning right at the last quarter and have been IQ rewinding back and watching again repeatedly but now I can't change the channel because I'll lose it! 

1st world problem of the highest quality.

Just watched the last two minutes again (possibly a couple of times).

Gawn signalled to Lever, “put it there”. The kick from Lever was an absolute ripper. Couldn’t have put it more in the right spot. 

Agree it was a nice spot to put the kick Nasher, but they showed behind the goals footage of the Max mark on ‘ The Round So Far’  and Stanley will be hiding under his bed for a couple of nights after watching that. No body contact whatsoever and was daydreaming. That’s footy though, we’ve often dissected instances like this one over the years.

Now there’s some donuts Dan would be proud of!

Would it be fare to say that winning a game against Geelong with a kick after the siren is up there with winning a game against Collingwood by a point?

Buy a new TV and leave this one on forever.

Or AFL will have the full game replay up today on its website. Your call.

I’ve still got PTSD flashbacks from Jimmy Toumpas fumbling in the defensive goal square to enable a Leigh Montagna open goal. Ergh.

Mistakes happen. Glad it was the other suckers ruing theirs last night.

He played an amazing last quarter. Still a bit underrated as a player IMO.

Thought it was hilarious hearing Trac (I think it was) post game saying it was a 'bit of a flat kick inside 50'.

dangerfield was cramping, badly, from about the 7 min mark of the last quarter

clayton has already said in the post-match interview that when max was lining up he was asking him how his calf was feeling

puddy tatts are still a threat but if they lose to port they will be up against it as all those old legs clearly need a rest

  • 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?

  • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

    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.
