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 


Spargo was everywhere - I thought i saw him getting a drink out of my fridge....

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.

Where do we do sit?

A game clear on top.


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.

Hard to see where the next loss is coming from to be honest!

As long as Bowey stays on the park well be right...


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.

  • 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.
