Great half by the dees

Should be miles ahead but if we can outscore them by 12 points next quarter we should enjoy the last

    Insane efficient from Pies has kept them in this. Logic says this isn’t sustainable for them, but [censored] their entire winning streak is an anomaly and shouldn’t be sustainable.

    Pies some lucky goals

    demons should be 5-6 goals in front

    They have gotten each arsey goal and 2 gifts from the umps. We just need to keep up the pressure in the 2nd half and we got this.

    Those loose ball goals are a concern. 

    That said, pressure through the middle is there.

    Hibberd getting exposed big time down back. Costing us goals way too easily.

    We should be at least 4-5 goals up.

    22-7 inside 50s that quarter yet only lead by 17. 

    It would be nice if in the 3rd quarter we came out and dominated on the board

    Half time and we're no closer to really knowing anything. We're in for a fight, make no mistake about that. Missed some good chances at the end there while Collingfilth just keep nailing every time they go in 50. I don't know, maybe this is just going to be like the Dogs game, we'll have to prove we can win a shoot out because the Pies will continue to get their looks at goal.

    I'm sorry, it was a decent quarter but we really should be 5 goals up. Leave this team in a game at your peril. Season is on the line here.

    Holding the ball has two interpretations. They have to revert to the mean with accuracy

    So similar to the doggies game.

    We just need to tighten things up a little and not given them the easy rebound goal.

    They've been lucky with frees i50 and had some arsey goals. No way that continues with their low i50s.

    I reckon we'll consolidate in Q3.

    We are so much better than them in every aspect of play but they are kicking them out of their %$&es. Petty, Spargo and Hibberd playing as bad as possible. But our defensive transition is being exposed time and time again. But boy our best footy is outstanding. Great game of footy.

    We gave them 3 free kicks at goal. We also let them get free into their running game a bit too easily   Tighten up don’t give them free kicks at goal. We will win.   Premiership Quarter  coming up   Go dees

    Not sure how this is looking on TV but the Pies are extraordinarily lucky in conversion. We have been very wasteful in front of goal. Should have put this game to bed already. 

    Forward pressure is way off tonight and Kozzy, Spargs and ANB do not look involved at all. Pies are playing fast break footy. Surprised that they are still full of zip.

    A couple of goals kicked on him where of the opponent the either lever, may or Petty where on before they went to the bench. Our 3 bigs are coming off too much


    Defend the corridor and they’re less likely to get one out the back.

    We’re winning clearance, contested ball and inside 50s. High scoring game is not in our favour but I’d have taken this lead from the start.

    We need to take our chances in front of goal or it will come back to bite us on the arze. 

    Collywobbles are disgustingly efficient in front of goal. It makes me want to 🤮

    We are killing them, should be 6 or 7 goals up. We have wasted too many inside 50 and they get too many lucky goals. We've got this if we keep playing like this.

    I'm going off a bit in the stands tonight and thought maybe I was out ferraling the Collingwood supporters, but then a group of apprentice/teenaged Magpies went past screeching some rubbish and I'm starting to realise I'm not even in the same ball park.

      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?
