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.

    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.

    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.

    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!

    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?

    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?

    • PREVIEW: North Melbourne

      Can you believe it? After a long period of years over which Melbourne has dominated in matches against North Melbourne, the Demons are looking down the barrel at two defeats at the hands of the Kangaroos in the same season. And if that eventuates, it will come hot on the heels of an identical result against the Gold Coast Suns. How have the might fallen? There is a slight difference in that North Melbourne are not yet in the same place as Gold Coast. Like Melbourne, they are currently situated in the lower half of the ladder and though they did achieve a significant upset when the teams met earlier in the season, their subsequent form has been equally unimpressive and inconsistent.

    • REPORT: Adelaide

      The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.

    • CASEY: Coburg

      The Casey Demons returned to their home ground which was once a graveyard for opposing teams but they managed to gift the four points on offer to Coburg with yet another of their trademark displays of inaccuracy in front of goals and some undisciplined football that earned the displeasure of the umpires late in the game. The home team was welcomed by a small crowd at Casey Fields and looked right at home as it dominated the first three quarters and led for all bar the last five minutes of the game. In the end, they came away with nothing, despite winning everywhere but on the scoreboard and the free kick count.

    • PREGAME: Rd 18 vs North Melbourne

      After four weeks on the road the Demons make their long awaited return to the MCG next Sunday to play in a classic late season dead rubber against the North Melbourne Kangaroos. Who comes in and who comes out?

    • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.
