Clarry and midfield responded after half time and look what happens. 

Incredible to see us in full flight, haven't seen that since the granny. All facets of our game firing. 

Glad we saw it tonight, let it be a warning to the comp.

That second half of the third quarter would totally demoralise any opposition.  💙♥️

This has gotta be an easy team to coach right now, running hard to the end always doing the team things.

All credit to Goodwin.
I've been a critic but that's all in the past.

How long till all the coaches are on the boundary line?


Just a pleasure to watch.

Love seeing how hard we work now even when the game has been put away early.

Yet to beat a top 8 side.

Yet to play one….

and again we have only beaten teams below us on the ladder 🙂

 

Amazingly relaxing to watch.

I didn’t feel stressed for one minute tonight. 

I would have liked us to have surpassed our Festival of Hate©️winning margin, but I’ll take it.

We’ve always had silky skilled players in our team but never have I seen a Melbourne team where all on the pitch can be trusted to execute by foot like this team. Choco Williams should be preserved Walt Disney style upon his passing for the job he’s done with cleaning up our field kicking. The pure accuracy extended that first quarter lead beyond where it should have been under normal circumstances as GWS’ endeavor was top notch.

That felt like a Melbourne win where all the players who should be playing well did. Tracc, Gawn and Clarry were all amazing. I’ll give my BOG however to Steven May. The bloke was a dead set miser and rarely wasted a possession when he got his hands on it. 

My mind is now made up on the two tall setup: it’s Tomald and Brown unless Van Rooyen produces the type of footy in the Magoos that demands a senior call up. Unless Weed miraculously learns to bust open packs, keep his feet upon spillage or to sprint when making a second effort rather than casually jog, I can’t keep him in the team.

We now face a Richmond side next week keen to stay among the pack so we’ll need to keep our wits about us.

he moment Tassie are announced as having a team, they will instantly have more significance than GWS and Gold Coast combined, probably with twice as many legitimate supporters too.

That is correct - long awaited.

Max is back with a (censored) vengeance!

How good did Petty look.

Incredible to think how quickly he has gone past Tomlinson (albeit with a serious knee injury).

Tomlinson looked underdone this year but Petty looked better than ever.

Any argument about who should play was put to bed today.

the precision kicking was extraordinarily 

Lol ... Amusing interview with Brayshaw.
Thinks he's on Gus and Gawny 😂

I think Tommy has to keep his spot because if a back goes down at least we can put him down back. Plus I think he uses it really well.

Happy Easter Demon fans. The players delivered the chocolates tonight. 

 


Apparently we are playing a ‘very good team’ next week. Does anyone at Channel 7 or SEN know anything about Football? Adelaide won because Burgess is their Fitness Coach and Richmond have no Martin and are on the decline.Why don’t the media see that teams go up and down and that teams like Essendon and Richmond will struggle for a while until they get their lists right!

But hey, Go Demons!

Edited by Thehardtackler

It’s impossible to be objective as a fan.

The recent dominant teams put the foot on the neck.

We’re still happy to keep cruising.

Oliver and the midfield got [censored] off and we kicked four in five minutes.

Despite our forward-line still being up in the air.

Our defence is ridiculous. See that static play-on call in Q2.

Like last year, do we need a real challenge to flex our muscles?

What’s our time-leading stats this year?

Commentary: “They almost have the other side in a trance.”

Where do we do sit?

What a great team game. So many contributors. 

As much as I love Benny Brown, I don't think you can drop either of TMac or Weid - both contributed really well.

Wash ur mouth out! BBB SUPERIOR in every way to these two Comes in next week NO DOUBT

 

That 3rd quarter reminded me of a similar performance last year ….

Great to see us finally hitting our straps. Let’s see if we can go a few games better than last years winning streak - I mean you have to keep the team striving for something right?

  • 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.

  • 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.
