    Great win.  Players fading in the last.  2 weakened by covid. 3- 4 hadn't played AFL tempo for a while.

    Bank the 4 points and move on.

    bank it and move on

    Very few highlights save that Bedford is ready.

    Not sure what if anything it did to solve the Weid v T Mac debate

    Need to play a lot better next week

    Full credit to Hawthorn.

    But Max and Tracca stood up big time.

    so to Oliver.

    The reliable trio.

    Nice cameo from Bedford

    The absolute putrid biased commentators were over the top.

     

    How about talking up the team with 5 out

    Very happy for Bedford. A game which could turn out to be a blessing in disguise.

    We were cooked in the last. Our forward entries were as bad as possible

    Top 8 taking shape.  Cream rising to the top.

    No matter what happens this round we will be 2 games clear of 5th team (and maybe 4th).

    Strong position.

    When you win under those conditions it proves you are a very good team. Go Dees!

    The Hawks are always a nuisance against us, I'm just glad we take the points and there were some good positives today (not the covid ones), like Bedford. 

    Another game where we should take the 4 points and move on, hopefully with more of our list available.

    A little wobbly at times, but we'll get there - definitely by the time we win the flag again this year.

    A wakeup call without losing is a good result, hawthorn showed everyone the blueprint on how to beat us, take it quick through the corridor and keep lever accountable. 

    Need to tidy up our forward fifty entries as well, we kept sitting it on top of a contest and expected someone to clunk it which didnt look nearly as good hitting up a lead. 

    I think this game also shows how important Goody is, feel like his influence on the boundary line is a lot more important than we know

    Watching 2 teams having a red hot go, both butchering the ball at every opportunity, both equally clumsy, sloppy and error-riddled, for the Dees to do things 5% cleaner and get the win. So glad we bat deep int our list because that was very close to a loss tonight.

    A lot of rusty players, and by the end of the game, tired. 

    But we won, are still on top, and so far can take on every challenge.

    • 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?

      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.
