Rubbish. @Graeme Yeats' MulletĀ has helped but a number of his summaries are just unbelievably negative after arguably this club's greatest ever win.

Viney was very goodĀ 

Antipathy to Viney. On this site. Really really stupid. Proved'emĀ wrong again. They never learn.

Three words:

[censored] off Selwood


You're dropping off, dude.

This is rubbish.

To our fitness coaches…! Well done!!! The most resilient team in the comp under what has been arguably the most difficult season in recent history…

AND Oliver.. give that man the chaz now!

Would like to see this more

OLIVER - GOD AMONGST MEN

Agree. I had Viney as our 5th best. Joeboy must be joking. Many many missed tackles v cats. Let’s not sugarcoat it … that 2nd qtr was pathetic. Ā Viney knows how to tackle and lock it in. Others were poor and enabled too many cats players to free up the footy. Ā Jack was back and deserved his place.Ā

Yup, viney played a great bulls game.Ā

Best on ground for pressure acts, perhaps the 2 weeks off helped him get his body right for finals. Can’t wait for Viney to rip it apart next week. Heart and Soul playerĀ

Unbelievable summary Joeboy

Ā 

Find some joy.Ā 

Bob I am sure Joeboy is as happy as the rest of us,Ā with a brilliant win, while still tinged withĀ sadness,Ā knowing we can’t attendĀ Ā finals to support the boys.

However, this is an evaluation of individual performance thread regularly done by Joeboy over the years. To do that properly you don’t just say everyone played well when then they didn’t.

You can still enjoy a win, while noting who didn’t perform. I am certain the match committee will do exactly that. Do you disagree with any evaluation? That is probably a more relevant post than a swipe at Joeboy who is posting a clearly difficult type of thread that will have many critics.

On another note, I gave them absolutely no hope at half time and I am still stunned. I am starting to believe, maybe this year. Enjoy the rest of the weekend.

WithoutĀ  Jvs efforts in the first half we would have lost.

  • PREVIEW: Richmond

    A few years ago, the Melbourne Football Club produced a documentary about the decade in which it rose from its dystopic purgatory of regular thrashings to the euphoria of a premiership victory. That entire period could have been compressed in a fast motion version of the 2025 season to date as the Demons went from embarrassing basket case to glorious winner in an unexpected victory over the Dockers last Saturday. They transformed in a single week from a team that put in a pedestrian effort of predictably kicking the ball long down the line into attack that made a very ordinary Bombers outfit look like worldbeaters into a slick, fast moving side with urgency and a willingness to handball and create play with shorter kicks and by changing angles to generate an element of chaos that yielded six goals in each of the opening quarters against Freo.Ā

  • NON-MFC: Round 07

    Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • REPORT: Fremantle

    For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

  • CASEY: UWS Giants

    The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

  • PREGAME: Richmond

    The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?
