Just an outstanding, all team performance.  Total ‘buy-in’ by every player out there.  I can’t think of a weak link in tonight’s performance .

    When we turn the ball over, watching the whole team run back to defend, while staying in formation, is a thing of beauty. Unbelievable discipline and fitness

    Strange old game. GWS dominated the first quarter with clearances and inside 50s but were kept goalless! Much of that credit needs to go to Stephen May. What a footballer this guy is.

    Then once our midfield pulled their finger out we had 12 goalkickers.

    Good time to be alive Demon supporters!

    Pretty impressive of Tommy Mac that even though he is competing with Weid for a spot, twice when he was within range he dropped it short for Weid

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

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

    But how many teams could boast having Tomlinson as a back up KPP defender.  Or even Weed as the same role forward?  

    Goodness knows who will be the truly unlucky defender when Salem returns.

    Was it a coincidence that after the ridiculous 50m penalty against Clayton in the 3rd the boys fired up and slammed on the goals?

    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?

    Great post on goodwin.

    Ross lyon stated before gf last year that goodys boundary line coaching could cosy us a win.

    I was thinking during that game sparrow may need a rest but then he did that beautiful assist & played well.

    Sick of reading on social media the Melbourne supporters didn't show up, there undefeated, the reigning premiers & typical Melbourne of there supporters. I'm putting it down to Easter, school holidays, people can now travel, people still hate the fact you just can't rock up & buy a ticket, the comedy festival was on, storm were playing & not everyone wants to come to a night game especially if you are relying on public transport to go home.

    Anyway I thoroughly enjoyed it. Also have you noticed the stories about Goodwin and his bullying antics have suddenly stopped?

    An Easter Saturday evening game vs GWS was never going to be conducive to crowd numbers. Not sure what it is with the AFL and scheduling our Easter weekend games vs GWS or Suns. Either way, who cares.

    Sparrow is just a ripper. The tap back to Frisch was pure team. 
     

    Awesome to watch.

    Amused me listening to the radio at half time.
    Boundary rider saying that he's been watching the melbourne bench.
    Every player that comes off Goodwin gives 'em a pat on the back and abit of positive pep talk.
    Mark William behind him using his .... "Language." 
    Instant feedback from both coaches.

    At some stages tonight we looked like the Harlem Globetrotters. Maybe they should play Sweet Georgia Brown over the speakers as the side runs out. 

    We made the GWS ferrari look like a clapped out trabbie.

    Disregard the tap - the fact that he even got to that contest after being at half back when the ball was kicked was nothing short of remarkable.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.

    • GAMEDAY: Richmond

      It's Game Day and the Demons return to the MCG to face the Tigers in their annual Blockbuster on ANZAC Eve for the 10th time. The Dees will be desperate to reignite their stuttering 2025 campaign and claim just their second win of the season. Can the Demons dig deep and find that ANZAC Spirit to snatch back to back wins?

    • 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.
