Geelong always do Mad Monday really well.

The theme this year was looking like Woodstock with the long hair/headband.

I'm told it's been changed to Jonestown.

Free Drinks!

Biff!

I thought you’d been sent to the Demonland Gulag.

All the rapscallions from days of yore are coming out of the woodwork. All we need now is @Moonshadowto return and all will be copacetic!

That 3rd 1/4 alone was pure, unadulterated, football porn!!!

Lucky Jake Lever decided to grow the mo he has. It’s most apropos for that analogy. 🍕 

Bow-chick-a-bow-wow indeed!😆

How good does Saturday morning feel!?!?

Stupendous performance last night by the Dees.  Couldn't have happened in a better way to a more deserving opposition. 3 wins over Geelong in a season. How good is that!  Doing our bit for the wider Aussie Rules community in keeping Dangerfield flagless. So good to have thrice stuck in in Isaac Smith's face that he chose the wrong destination, but so glad he did - I doubt we'd be here if he'd come to us - there's something intangible and special about what Brayshaw brings to the team, and his work on the opposite wing to Langdon has been crucial all season.

Pinching myself that we're in the GF. Only happened twice before in my lifetime. This will be the first time we go in as a genuinely competitive chance. If we play to our best it will be ours. 

So proud of what the club has done this year. The coaching and support staff they've brought in, the performances on the field, the smooth change of President, Pert kicking sponsorship goals, stringing 9 wins on the trot to kick the season off, when with BB and Weid injured many thought we could have been 1-4 after the first 5 rounds...

One more game. Give it everything!

I just woke up and I still can’t get over that third qtr. How did we go from 29pts up to 78pts up in a blink of an eye?

That last qtr just felt like a carnival atmosphere. Can you just imagine if we got that far ahead in the GF at 3qtr time? We’d be partying in the grand stands.

Max played one of the greatest qtrs of football you’ll see, but Petracca early in the game and in the first half of that 3rd qtr was unstoppable. It was like we were all watching the most dynamic and powerful footballer of our time turn it on in a prelim. 

I’m so glad there’s a bye because that intra-club match sim last Friday will be needed again for the GF after we pushed over Dad’s army with ease last night!

Has anyone noticed that Clarry's mind works faster than his mouth, and he occasionally finds it hard to get the words out during an interview?

Explains why he's so much faster to react within the contest. His mind is a step ahead of everyone else's. Maestro.

 

 

Have often thought this too.

One other thing, I thought that was one of the most powerful display of tackling and pressure I’ve ever seen from any team. I was worried about Geelong’s physicality before the game but we absolutely bullied them!!

My son was working so had to message him the scores. Early in the third it was we've just kicked the first 4 goals in 4 minutes, then sorry 5, sorry 6, sorry 7. had to stop there because I was missing bits of the game. He went home to start watching the replay at 11.

I hate Geelong with a passion. Like, I properly hate them. Tune it and barrack hard against them every week. I've never felt physically ill before a game until yesterday because of this. Last night (and Rd 23) have just about made my life complete. Max Gawn is literally the Demons GOAT.

In the immortal words of Mr. Lennon…..Instant karma’s gonna get you. Happy listening, Isaac….

What a great way to wake up for my birthday... Melbourne heading into the Grand Final, whilst also giving Geelong a good thrashing. 

Gawn, Petracca, Oliver, Salem, Lever were amazing again last night, as they have been all year. But I was so impressed with Brayshaw's defensive efforts and Bowey's skill and composure from a 7 gamer in a big final. This kid is something! 

Soak this feeling up everyone. We don't experience these days often! Go Demons!

I have to report I suffered my own Steven May injury scare last night. 

I was blasting Aces High by Iron Maiden 5 mins before the bounce and started running and jumping around getting pumped. Next thing I know I land with my heel closer to the wall than I thought. Ankle rolled outwards, slight pop. The Glenlivet balm I used at the time masked things but it is pretty darn sore this morning. 14 day rehab, could be touch and go.

Still on a massive high. Just told my partner that I’m still drunk- she informed me that I didn’t have that much to drink so I guess I’m just high on last nights win. How good is this feeling?!

The 10th of September should be forever remembered as Max Gawn day!! 

5 goals!!! 5!!!

Led pretty much by Jack Viney.

Although that tackle by Max (not sure on who but it was in the third...he was joined by Hibberd) was a ripper.

I know they call soccer the beautiful game but that was beauty in chaos like you will rarely see. Gawn with one of the great individual premiership quarters and the list could go on. We have a spread of talent in attribute and age that list managers only dream of building. We have a culture and connection that few clubs ever create. We are in rare air but will still need to beat one more quality opponent to bring it home. Well played number 11, number 5, number 3 #team effort

Pretty much what the cats did to us in round 23.

Talk about a purple patch or should i say Max patch.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    It's Game Day and the Demons are once again faced with a classic 8 point game against a traditional rival on King's Birthday at the MCG. A famous victory will see them reclaim a place in the Top 8 whereas a loss will be another blow for their finals credentials.

    BOILED LOLLIES by The Oracle

    In the space of a month Melbourne has gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in terms of its standing as a candidate for the AFL premiership.  The club faces its moment of truth against a badly bruised up Collingwood at the MCG. A win will give it some respite but even then, it won’t be regarded particularly well being against an opponent carrying the burden of an injured playing list. A loss would be a disaster. The Demons have gone from a six/two win/loss ratio and a strong percentag

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie
