I don’t mean to be disrespectful, but that jumper looked like they were in Peter Alexander pj’s with the long sleeves.

    I only care that Langdon is ok 

    This game was another 4 points we bank and move on from.

    No team should ever win a game of AFL by a 100 points. Only happens if a team throws in the towel. North did not do that this evening. A 50 point win in the circumstances is a fair reflection of our superiority

    The real test for us is Freo next week. I'm sure our performance level will lift and we'll win that game.

    So, when did the rule change?  Back in the day, if a player was tackled and failed to correctly dispose of the ball (kick or handball), he was penalised.  Lost count of the times tonight where that went unrewarded.  (Yeah.  I know.  What's new?)

    Yep and I bet North player won’t get suspended.

    Some of you just don’t know how long a footy season is to play. The fact that we won so convincingly when they obviously steeled themselves for this, is testament to the great group we have.

    Also, we are in better form than last year. That doesn’t mean anything for the end of the year but we are in another great spot.

    A shout out to the arrogant North fan next to me who, when North got 2 points up said “we have a young list… it’s all downhill for you now” 

    Enjoy that shiny spoon

    yes he lifted him off the ground and slammed him in to the turf

    .

    Great tackle but if compared he should be rubbed out in my opinion

    I actually rate it as a really good win. North were very, very good - tough at the ball, brutally physical (a bit too much at times) and ripped through us with a short passing game they could not sustain. We stood up, although we were horribly unclean for the first half.

    Clarry - superstar

    Well done Tmac, Spargo, May, Sparrow in the 2nd half, Lever in patches.

    Lots of handball practice this week at training please.

    Jeez mate, the facepalm brigade will be all over you.

    I think it is not a patch one last years epic effort but my missus just asked me to buy one for her so I guess its 50/50 in my household.

    That ground is a nightmare for the players like a skating rink…injuries seem to happen a lot more often there too glad we aren’t running out on it too often.

    They were really sour today all day. I was a bit surprised at how often they whinged and had tantrums about obvious free kicks.

    They seemed very unlikeable - and I’d know.

    So you’re saying your wife has questionable taste?

    Was worried when Clarry took out a clump of turf on the wing & looked to have injured himself. Fortunately not the case.

    I like it and so did my 9yo. Different people have different opinions. We live in Australia and different opinions are allowed as far as I’m aware

    She loved it at first sight. Although for a relatively recent arrival to the country (she does her citizenship ceremony on Tuesday) she really has developed a mental disorder when cheering for the Dees. I swear she would physically harm anyone in our house who spoke negatively against the Dees on game day.

    .......aaaand so I will do the right thing just as soon as it is listed in her size on the Demon shop. Cos, you know, i don't want to die just yet.

     

    oh, and my own mother has been telling her she has questionable taste since day 1.

    A few supporters are hard to please. 
    Early 80s at the G you would only go to watch Robbie! 1st year of Roos and pre Roos there were some horrible losses and we didn’t win to often.

    We have a great team, who play fantastic team football, with some generational players, who have delivered a flag and taken us to 10-0!

    So for crying out loud…….Enjoy Every Win!

    Keep going Demons!!!!

    Pros:

    - We got the 4pts (and makes it 10-0 to start the year, one better than last season)

    - TMac continues to hit the scoreboard 

    - Fritta got 3

    - Oliver continued his bloody good year

    Cons:

    - seems likely a costly day medically speaking; Lingers, TMac, Gus, even Trac at one point all looked very sore/injured

    - our goal kicking failed to put a team away earlier again

    - our inside 50 efficiency continues to be sub-par

    I’ll also put a question to Demonland: are we playing arrogant and will it come back to bite us? 

    I just feel watching us the last couple of weeks we almost don’t care against lesser opposition. They seem to go hard for a period and then leave it at that, the hunger hasn’t there recently. 

    Next week is a massive game, we play like we’ve been playing the last two weeks and we will fall to Freo. 

    Happy to bank the 4 points and move on, but I hope there boys will be switching on through the week. Oh, and how Brown managed to miss that soda in his 150th is beyond me. One of his worst games for the club, shame it had to come against his old side. 

    EDIT one other thought: Luke Jackson hasn’t been on for a while. Not suggesting he get dropped but any thoughts on why this could be?

    • NON-MFC: Round 12

      Round 12 kicks off with the Brisbane hosting Essendon at the Gabba as the Lions aim to solidify their top-two position against an injury-hit Bombers side seeking to maintain momentum after a win over Richmond. On Friday night it's a blockbuster at the G as the Magpies look to extend their top of the table winning streak while the Hawks strive to bounce back from a couple of recent defeats and stay in contention for the Top 4. On Saturday the Suns, buoyed by 3 wins on the trot, face the Dockers in a clash crucial for both teams' aspirations this season. The Suns want to solidify their Top 4 standing whilst the Dockers will be desperate to break into the 8.

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      The media has performed a complete reversal in its coverage of the Melbourne Football Club over the past month and a half. Having endured intense criticism from all quarters in the press, which continually identified new avenues for scrutiny of every aspect, both on and off the field, and prematurely speculated about the departures of coaches, players, officials, and various employees from a club that lost its first five matches and appeared out of finals contention, the narrative has suddenly shifted to one of unbridled optimism.  The Demons have won five of their last six matches, positioning themselves just one game (and a considerable amount of percentage) outside the top eight at the halfway mark of the season. They still trail the primary contenders and remain far from assured of a finals berth.

    • REPORT: Sydney

      A few weeks ago, I visited a fellow Melbourne Football Club supporter in hospital, and our conversation inevitably shifted from his health diagnosis to the well-being of our football team. Like him, Melbourne had faced challenges in recent months, but an intervention - in his case, surgery, and in the team's case, a change in game style - had brought about much improvement.  The team's professionals had altered its game style from a pedestrian and slow-moving approach, which yielded an average of merely 60 points for five winless games, to a faster and more direct style. This shift led to three consecutive wins and a strong competitive effort in the fourth game, albeit with a tired finish against Hawthorn, a strong premiership contender.  As we discussed our team's recent health improvement, I shared my observations on the changes within the team, including the refreshed style, the introduction of new young talent, such as rising stars Caleb Windsor, Harvey Langford, and Xavier Lindsay, and the rebranding of Kozzy Pickett from a small forward to a midfield machine who can still get among the goals. I also highlighted the dominance of captain Max Gawn in the ruck and the resurgence in form in a big way of midfield superstars Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver.
