Fantastic, emphatic return to form by the Dees. That could easily have been a 15 goal win against the "former... (hehe)" ladder leader. I tipped us to win by 3-4 goals so this is much more than i expected. 

Viney = immense

Jackson = Pay him what he wants. Kids gonna be a champion.

Lever = a totally different player with May in the team.

Harmes = Smashed Neale... get around him.

Bedford = dynamic

Oliver = Brownlow

Hibbo = blanketed Cameron

Jordan early was also very good.

Lots of others i could, and probably should praise.

Fantastic win Dees. Should be an enjoyable weekend 'Landers.......

Anyone got Ross Lyons phone number?

And resurrect the Jack Viney made me cry thread

 

Crisis. What crisis!

Great performance built on a foundation of pressure and intensity.

Career best game Viney. Magnificent

Lever back to his best

Dogga held his own in the ruck and excellent second efforts

Percentage boost bonus

We’re back baby


 

Since 22-9 Lions in the first this was an annihilation, make no mistake. You could see we got our structures working late in the first quarter and we slowed them right down. Our reward came in the second and it was pretty much game over at half time. We weren’t letting this one go.

Well done to every single player out there tonight. 
Viney was just inspirational, awesome game by the skip.

Welcome back, Dees 🔥

More than anything, tonight was a return of our spirit, hunger and intensity. And all without Maxy. Which is a great thing to take away. We can maul the ladder leaders without the best ruckman in the comp. Our captain.

This is exactly the response we needed after the break. A reminder to everyone else that we're the premiers, as well as a reminder to ourselves.

Massive team effort, but Viney - 3000 votes.

Go Dees ❤️

If you said anything like “our season is over” in the last month, give yourself an immediate uppercut.

Many welcome returns to form, but none more pleasing for me than Jake Lever. Absolutely outstanding.

Bye bye to half of DL.


INTENT.

Kept the highest scoring team to 53 point.

No way we weren’t loading pre the bye.

Well led Jack Viney. 

Viney led by example and was a BEAST. 

Loved his game. 

Gi Dees

Now that’s what happens when we play ‘the Melbourne way’!

Easily our best win since the Grand Final. We were tough, quick, aggressive and relentless. We couldn't have played any better.

Viney was simply elite. He may not get a lot of attention from the media but he has certainly been good enough to at least make the AA squad this year. I was very pleased with Jackson's performance. He seemed to relish the extra responsibility.

Maybe we still are the team to beat after all.

 That was a 42% goal kicking accuracy exhibition against essentially the second best side in the league  and still winning by circa 10 goals.

37 scoring shots to 18....
 

Hopefully Fages' discusses loading in his presser.

  • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

    Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front. They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

  • REPORT: West Coast

    On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

  • POSTGAME: West Coast

    Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
