Just wondering- could we already have the rising star, the Brownlow, the minor prem in the bag? With the Norm Smith and flag to come?! Could be an epic year

I was thinking the same thing clean sweep.

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.

Stevic was atrocious all game.  The other two were fine for the most part.

Well [censored] I missed the game. 

Just seen the scores now. Guess I'm staying up to 3am watching the replay. 

I'll score some brownie points with the missus and put my hand up for the night shift with our baby

Go Dees!

Just watched the last 2 minutes on the AFL site. It’s just the most poetic moment when Max kicks that goal. It was meant to be.

Sport has lifted me higher than I ever thought possible on a day like today. I feel so grateful for the footy club.

Btw, Lever's second half was 🔥. Incredible leadership.

I'll have to watch the replay to see if Geelong just put the cue in the rack ready for next week, or whether they just ran out of legs, or whether our pressure and contest work simply overawed them. Maybe a bit of all of those things, because we only got the game on our terms in the second half, arguably half way through the 3rd, and despite leading early in the match, it wasn't quite on our terms. 

We got our defensive mechanism working later in the game, which translated into generating scores and repeat entries from back to front or simply from centre clearance forward. 

I'm.still staggered though that we came from a 44 point deficit late in the 3rd, truly a remarkable win.

They ran out of gas.  There's a reason Scott keeps wanting shorter games.  He has the oldest list by a fair whack.  They can't match the fitter sides for four quarters.

Fantastic win by a fast becoming fantastic team with some very ubiquitous players popping up to play telling roles at crucial stages.

Give the Media their due , they seemed to be able to relagate that dour record breaking win to underwhelm status by last games of several fine players.

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'll, not quite like that, perhaps...

True.. they played well nonetheless, we may face them again this year. I thought Hawkins held them up well all night. Also thought that they played predictably up the ground and didn’t have the leg-speed to take chances. Suspect they’ll go through the middle more often during the finals, hoping that the umps lock-down on the non-15m kicks…

The psychological damage that would have caused would be massive after thinking they had cracked the code on the Dees Squeeze.

They completely stopped and had nothing left to give, completely shot to pieces.

We absolutely murdered them in the 3rd and 4th quarters, absolutely no response whatsoever.

Where are your 16 minute quarters now Chris Snott?

Stick it where the sun don't shine you whinging little swine.

Redemption for Max Gawn after 2018. Minor premiers for the first time since 1964. The first time in my and all my brother’s lifetimes.

Also, while harking back to 2018, I couldn’t help but notice Fritsch emulating Hannan’s goal in the final against Geelong… almost a carbon copy!

    BLOODY BLUES by Meggs

    The conclusion to Narrm’s home and away season was the inevitable let down by the bloody Blues  who meekly capitulated to the Bombers.   The 2024 season fixture handicapped the Demons chances from the get-go with Port Adelaide, Brisbane and Essendon advantaged with enough gimme games to ensure a tough road to the finals, especially after a slew of early season injuries to star players cost wins and percentage.     As we strode confidently through the gates of Prin

    2024 Player Reviews: #5 Christian Petracca

    Melbourne’s most important player who dominated the first half of the season until his untimely injury in the Kings Birthday clash put an end to his season. At the time, he was on his way to many personal honours and the club in strong finals contention. When the season did end for Melbourne and Petracca was slowly recovering, he was engulfed in controversy about a possible move of clubs amid claims about his treatment by the club in the immediate aftermath of his injury.

    2024 Player Reviews: #2 Jacob van Rooyen

    Strong marking youngster who plays forward and relief ruck, continued to make significant strides forward in his career path. The Demons have high hopes for van Rooyen as he stakes his claim to become an elite attacking forward.

    LIVE AND LET DIE by Meggs

    The Demons’ impressive late season charge to finals will most likely come unstuck this Saturday evening when the Bombers blow up the also-ran Blues in the Ikon Park double-header.   To mangle McCartney, what does it matter to ya? To have any chance to play next week Narrm has got a job to do and needs to do it well.  We’ve got to give the Pie sheilas hell, say live and let die! It’s Indigenous Round for this game and the chance to celebrate and engage with Aboriginal and Torres

    Had to shoulder more responsibility as the club’s injury concerns deepened but needs to step up more as he closes in on 100 games. Date of Birth: 31 May 2000 Height: 186cm Games MFC 2024: 21 Career Total: 95 Goals MFC 2024: 6 Career Total: 34 Games CDFC: 1 Goals CDFL: 0

It remains to be seen whether Simon Goodwin will persevere with him in attack or return him to the backline where he was an important cog in the club’s 2021 premiership success.

    After a bright start to the season, playing mostly in defence, Howes seemed to lose his way in midseason but fought back with some good performances at Casey and finished the year back at AFL level. One to watch in 2024. Date of Birth: 7 March 2003 Height: 191cm Games MFC 2024: 15 Career Total:  15 Goals MFC 2024: 0 Career Total:  0 Games CDFC 2024: 6 Goals CDFC 2024: 0

    Originally an NBL basketballer with the Brisbane Bullets, he moved across town in 2019 to the AFL Lions where he played 19 games before crossing to Melbourne where he was expected to fill a role as a back up ruckman/key forward. Unfortunately, didn’t quite get there although he did finish equal sixth in Casey’s best and fairest award. Date of Birth: 23 February 1999 Height: 198cm Games CDFC: 14 Goals CDFL: 13

    Sadly, had to wrap up a great career in midstream on the back of multiple concussions which culminated in the Maynard hit in the 2023 Qualifying Final. His loss to the club was inestimable over and above his on field talent given his character and leadership qualities, all of which have been sorely missed.
