Can we repeat this in the second half? Lions would still be confident seeing our last 3 games. Got to keep the midfield pressure on. I am backing Viney to lead the way.

    Still a half to go. Lions are a very good team, not going to roll over. But at least we've had a glimpse.

    Brisbane are likely working with similar loads in training. Should be interesting

    Great quarter. No let up, and we win. For any of you watching on Kayo at home, have you ever heard a stream of more ridiculous hyperbole than that unleashed by David King? He is a frank embarrassment to football commentary. Almost everything that leaves his mouth is plainly ridiculous. Rant over! Can’t wait for Tracc and Clarrie to really get rolling!

    Keep the pressure up and we’ll get the points. No fade outs tonight please!

    Bit like the  the final last year, we cut them open in the 2nd after a close 1st quarter. They came back in the 3rd and we ran away in the last.

    Close to best game I've seen Viney play. Incredible.

    Lever superb.

     

    Viney has carried this team on his back for a few weeks now I reckon.

    Must be such a good feeling to see the rest of the team lift and follow his leadership. 

    Please don't stop at one Dees like you've done many times this year. Another quarter like that and we will have smashed them.

    Is that the best quarter we’ve played all year? That’s the first time in ages I feel like I’m watching the team from late last year. Hope we can keep it going in the second half and kick-start the second half of the season. Our best is still the best in it.

    Only quarter that comes ose is the 3rd vs GWS otherwise that was easily our best quarter for the season.

    Keep it up Demons, don't let up, put your foot on their throat

    What did he say?

    The Lions are at our mercy. Need to take this opportunity to get more players back into form. Would love to see lingers rip it up in the second half.

    Best game of Lever for the season. Hopefully he can carry it all the way until the finals.

    Too much. One example - “that quarter was the biggest mauling I’ve seen for years”.

    Great quarter, worked our butts off and the tide turned. We started creating chances. Jackson lowering the eyes to hit up Brown was excellent and gave us the reward for effort we deserved. Much more zip and movement up forward, got the ball pinging around the way we like it.

    May is having a howler but it still helps immensely having him out there. Lever looking as sharp as ever. 

    Luke Jackson is standing up, sure he's getting beat in some ruck contests but it's not his job to win them all right now. I think his midfield work has been great. Big Sam is cracking in too, would love to see a big mark from him down the line.

    How about Harmes the goalsneak! Sometimes you gotta find them elsewhere.

    The work is not done, not even close. And if loading is a thing then ots gonna be a harder second half to watch. Grind this one out Demons.

    This is just regulation for Harmes. Most underrated player in the game, and lowered a prime Dangers colors as a tagger. Good to see him on Neale. Lyon getting bruised helps us. Bailey not playing now helps more. Zorko not playing screws their structure.

    Lever is BOG. Really impressive. Viney stepping up, best quarter from him I’ve seen. Jackson is our type of ruck. He plays our type of game style - grinds. He’s been great. Sticks tackles and does a lot off the ball. Harmes obviously huge. Ben Brown looking best I’ve seen him this year really great touch. Sparrow is a problem for Brissy. They had no answer for him early. They blanketed Oliver, and Petracca was trying, but Sparrow was being effective.

    Weideman has shown a bit in that first half so good on him. Looking at the stats doesn’t show much but he’s had a bit of presence at times.

    • 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.

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    • PREGAME: Richmond

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?
