Bowey deniers in disarray 

What about the trade Viney brigade?

 

Lol anyone watching Channel 7 right now?

Tom Browne is such a [censored]. Talking about the importance of asking Chris Scott at the press conference about going to Carlton.

Edit: then Hamish McLachlan was like "what the [censored] Tom".

Gee wizz didn't see that coming. Well done football department. I want one more but this is a night to have some pride in this football club!

Credit to Joel Selwoods comments in the rooms too. To be fair Geelong have been an amazingly consistent team for 15 years and their ability to put themselves in a position to compete every year is something I'd love us to emulate. 

What did he say?

He said we beat them in pretty much evert facet of the game.

He then said he knows people will say they keep failing in finals but he'd rather be at a club which keeps trying to make it than one which falls down the ladder to rebuild.

Incredible how much difference good player development makes - Bowey exemplifies this. 

Kozzie, Jackson, Rivers, Petty,  Jordon, Sparrow.

Yes. We should always remember those words

Always strive to make finals….

What a win! What a 3rd quarter! I said it before and I'll say it again, should bump my thread. Gawn is the best player I have seen. Epic performance tonight. Love the club this is a golden era. Let's win the premiership and finally get rid of the curse.


The Parfitt injury was absolutely massive for them. It wouldn't have changed the result by any means, but he's about their only decent stoppage defender and we absolutely waltzed the ball out of the stoppage all night.

What a great game to watch. Not often you get to celebrate a preliminary final halfway through the second quarter. It shows the difference between playing beautiful football during the season and practicing playing finals football all season. When the pressure went up we were unflustered. We knew what to do.

Young "David" Bowey can take his choice between a long career as a footy player, or as a pop star. that's how good he is.

On cloud 9, just left the ground found a place for a glass of Shiraz and contemplate 2 weeks time. Go Dees

I might have a heart attack if we win with a last minute goal again. 

Did anybody get banished to the seconds on the Game Day thread?

Just that he is proud to be part of a club that is continually competing and fighting to be there at the pointy end...despite being outclassed tonight. Dislike Geelong but fair play to them for sustained competitiveness over the last 30 years. Simply beaten by a better team tonight.

So proud ❤️💙.

I have never in my 51 years seen a better demons team than this one.

Agree except it’s 66 years. Cannot remember a more dominant performance.  55-64 was pretty good though, but to be fair I was young and not taking much notice of the footy.

Go Dees

Let’s now sit back and watch Port and the Dogs beat each other senseless and cop a shedload of injuries. I hope it’s a really hard and close fought game as then the eventual winner will be looking at our slaughter of Geelong and psych themselves out of it. Our winning margin will be the cause of many nightmares over the next couple of weeks.

I just read they traded a second round draft pick for Higgins.

Who then couldn't get into their 22 in the finals and played medi-sub.

Yep this is just cherry on top stuff. Big drop coming for them that will last a number of years.

Perfect summary, AoB. The planning and ability for these guys to have a ‘finals gear’ just can’t be understated. This team is now doing exactly what they were designed to do. And they’re doing it for all of us, which they’ve made wonderfully clear. It’s a beautiful thing in a beautiful game.

    A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.

  • GAMEDAY: Fremantle

    It’s Game Day, and the Demons return to the MCG wounded, undermanned and desperate. Still searching for their first win of the season, Melbourne faces a daunting task against the Fremantle Dockers. With key pillars missing at both ends of the ground, the Dees must find a way to rise above the adversity and ignite their season before it slips way beyond reach. Will today be the spark that turns it all around, or are we staring down the barrel of a 0–6 start?

  • PREVIEW: Fremantle

    A month is a long time in AFL football. The proof of this is in the current state of the two teams contesting against each other early this Saturday afternoon at the MCG. It’s hard to fathom that when Melbourne and Fremantle kicked off the 2025 season, the former looked like being a major player in this year’s competition after it came close to beating one of the favourites in the GWS Giants while the latter was smashed by Geelong to the tune of 78 points and looked like rubbish. Fast forward to today and the Demons are low on confidence and appear panic stricken as their winless streak heads towards an even half dozen and pressure mounts on the coach and team leadership.  Meanwhile, the Dockers have recovered their composure and now sit in the top eight. They are definitely on the up and up and look most likely winners this weekend against a team which they have recently dominated and which struggles to find enough passages to the goals to trouble the scorers. And with that, Fremantle will head to the MCG, feeling very good about itself after demolishing Richmond in the Barossa Valley with Josh Treacy coming off a six goal haul and facing up to a Melbourne defence already without Jake Lever and a shaky Steven May needing to pass a fitness test just to make it onto the field of play.
