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.

    • 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.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

      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.
