    This team is hard to read correctly at the moment

    Ya think? I read that game like an absolute page turner and was very happy with the plot.

    We won this without the best ruckman this century.

    Get Maxy as fresh as can be for finals.

    The cheer squad was ordinary, but otherwise the game was great.

    Curious, merely quoting Fages? Or hammering home a view that you're still perpetually disappointed by the team?

    For Thursday night game against an interstate team, that crowd was a brilliant result. We pulled in more than Richmond vs Port on Thurs night, despite nearly 50,000 less members across teams playing. 

    Brilliant effort Dees fans. Ignore the noise about our crowds for dopey pelicans like Caro. We’re third highest average home attendance in the league. Were more loyal than anyone. Hats off!

    Aaaand officially an attendance record between these clubs in home and away season. Brilliant effort to achieve that on a Thursday night!

    Our supporters should be highlighted and praised in the media. Our attendance has been awesome this year.

    The bloke with the mike was in the way, and yet you still couldn’t hear the questions asked. You’d think they would have sorted it out for Fagan, but no.

    I find this talk of "loading" relevant to my interests.

    When we play our game plan and everyone plays their role , it’s Dees footy and it’s the best footy going around.

    When the stakes are for real the boys stand up and show who is number one.

    I actually think Jackson as a ruck doubles down on our pressure game.

    On the train now next to Titus O’Reilly who seems rather chuffed.

    Had real concerns in the first quarter but it finally clicked. The zone reformed, the tackling pressure returned, our clean up at ground level began to take shape and the link up handballs that have been missing for the past three weeks happened.

    Jack Viney, take a bow…you willed us back into that game yourself and the team followed.

    I had major concerns about the lack of contested marks we’d be able to take but it didn’t matter, it took care of itself. The flow returned.

    My favourite part of the night was not having to even notice May or Petty after quarter time because they just did their job, allowing the true Jake Lever to take flight.

    The feeling is good. Let’s hope this is the return of what we want and expect from this team.

    Go Dees and back in your box Brisbane.

    Hopefully Fages' discusses loading in his presser.

    Great win.

    But they were clearly super fatigued.

    I had my binos on their bench for a bit in the third, and then at their 3/4 time huddle.

    They were completely exhausted.

    I do like this thing that happens whenever Bailey Fritsch kicks a goal midway through the third quarter.

     

    Note of credit to Sam Weideman; he actually took a lot of ruck contests tonight and made a pretty good fist of it, as well as competing pretty well in general. He basically provided the extra option for Jackson in the way that Jackson provides it for Gawn. It got the most out of Jackson and seemed to also get a good level of engagement from Weideman as well.

    It may even be a consideration for when Gawn is available again; the seeming madness of having two rucks and a ruck-forward, made possible by the fact that both rucks have clearly completely forgotten they are rucks and just run around doing all kinds of non-ruck things all day!

    Jack Viney fully fit is a scary sight

    The media talks about our pillar mids of Clarry and Trac, but a 100% fit Viney is arguably on the same level

    He has been massive for the past month, long may it continue

    FAGAN WAS RIGHT … “LIONS WERE LUCKY THAT THE DEES DIDNT KICK STRAIGHT” … IT WOULD HAVE BEEN AN ANNILIATION

    Impressive by Fagan. Clearly disappointed in his team tonight. Real professional.

    Was critical of him last week but boy oh boy was he huge today, Rick Lever you legend!! 

    Just the game he needed to get into some form. 

    The growing exasperation of the Brisbane fans behind me every time he took an intercept mark was marvellous. 😂

    I legitimately thought the cheer squad did a fantastic job all game, and really lifted in the second half and brought it home magnificently. Kudos to all. Made me proud.

    • 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?
