it is great to see us getting reward for our forward 50 attacks. Great goal kicking. Keep it going Dees.

    Well this 4th Maker's mark is going down well.  The two mountain goat starters didn't even touch the sides.  A bit like our kicks for goal... straight down the middle.

    We're ahead yeh?

    Game by far over. We need to bury this mob. 

    Haven’t seen this footy since the second half of the Grand Final.

    Zorko must have gut punched ANB to make him spew like that.

    Watch Christensen fine ANB for staging.

    Given that percentage IS important (we get to see the Dees at the MCG!) let's f*&ng [censored] them. No mercy. Go the kill.

    The key now is not winning margin but keeping Brisbanes score low. Ie if both teams kick 10 goals in the second half we lose a lot of percentage.

    Yep. We have to keep Brisvegas dry…

    26 inside 50 to each team.

    We are just brutally efficient tonight. Won’t happen every week but you take it when you can. 
     

    We need to put this game to bed this quarter. The Lions will come out firing so we just need to hold strong for 5-10 and not give them any momentum.

    Brisbane brought a knife to a gun fight, and I’m talking the blade on a a pair of fingernail clippers to a 155mm Howitzer.

    TV already making excuses for the Lions tackle on brown. disappointing to see.

    If it knocked only sense into him and no delayed concussion issues, I’m not overly fussed

    He has been for years!

    That was almost a faultless first half. Every kind of entry whether long kick or lowering the eyes we executed perfectly every time. Winning contested ball like absolute animals and 16 shots from 26 inside 50s is incredible. 

    Brisbane getting hot under the collar, I don't know whether it was to find a spark but it is working against them big time. Matthison is such a bin Dipper of a footballer.

    Winning almost every 50-50 right now. I'll be happy if we build the lead in the 3rd then rest guys and take the sting out in the last. 

    Come on Dees, let's Bin Diesel these bottlers!

    What a sight to see us so effective inside 50. The eyes are wide, we're looking for targets, it's manic, we're relentless, we're CONVERTING!

    This is exactly the sort of motivation we need going into the finals. Shots fired, watch out everyone else. 

    Lions = pretenders.

    Now let's bury em.

    Yeah, " momentum of the tackle yadda, yadda , yadda."
    Didn't matter when Chandler got 2.

    I thought up until Max took took those two late contested marks, that he and perhaps ANB and Spargo were the only ones just going.

    The rest have been scintillating. Jackson  May, Kozzie, BBB, Rivers, Langdon, Harmes, Tracc, Gus...

    I don't hate on players instantly like so many on here 😛


    We made need more condiments on table for second half, the boys are in feast mode ❤️💙

    Brissy will have to take it on.

    Can we defend a team coming hard at us and score on the counter-attack. 

    I notice the rubbish default kick to the FP has been turned on its head.

    The default is now lowering vision for the hit up pass...or kicking to the hot zone just outside the square.  The surprise marginal option is now kicking out to the flank or pocket then cutting straight back in on the angle.

    And look at that...we've scored our rough average score for the season in the first half!

    Good to see Harmes playing....a lot of extra muscle with him...Trac...Sparrow and Viney.

    May standing tall.

    Gus 17 touches. Oliver 14.

    I think Rivers has been good 

    My $ on kozzie for 7 Sausages.

     

    Bbb 5 marks...3 goals.

    17 at 35% and many of those awful no look flick or kick out of a pack which almost never works to our advantage…

    Absolutely love the bloke.  HATE his flick out possessions.

    • PREVIEW: West Coast

      It was bad enough that the Melbourne Football Club created yet another humiliating scenario inside its wretched season at Marvel Stadium last Sunday, but the final insult is that it has been commanded to return to the scene of the crime to inflict further punishment on its fans this week. Incidentally, if this match preview, of a game that promises to be one of the most unattractive fixtures in the history of the game, happens to cut out of your computer screen three quarters of the way through, it’s no coincidence. I’ll be mirroring the Demons’ lacklustre effort against St Kilda from last Sunday when they conceded the largest last quarter turnaround for victory in the history of the game.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.
