    To all the naysayers out there …this is our game. To paraphrase “Binman” … listen to Goody in his pressers …he is or has built a team for finals footy . You don’t play that footy during the year …especially this year as we were also the hunted . Doesn’t mean we will win “back to back” but we will leave everything out there. So proud of that effort tonight & hope the disrespectful media contingent has a good look at themselves . I expect our pessimistic supporter’s will no doubt have heaps of criticism’s but a superb performance Dees 💙❤️

    I am a devout follower of the binman

    Brilliant high intensity win at an oppo fortress. EXACTLY what you want heading into finals. As for the Lions, they embarrassed themselves tonight with their ‘tough guy’ rubbish,  and they’re winning nothing with Zorko as captain (couldn’t be a worse leader) and players like ‘Floppy’ Joe Daniher and ‘Slo-mo’ Harris Andrews running around.

    Electric first half destroyed Lions!

    They went for a lot of cheap shots early in the game, we just shook them off and smashed them.

    Great win by demons!!!!

    Fagan is a nice bloke and seems like a great father figure but he isn't right for Brisbane anymore. I actually think he'd be great at a club like Essendon. He doesn't have what it takes to win a flag.

    Coaches did them, good study of the oppo's player, their ball movers and game winners were given nothing. No lesser lights stood up in the vacuum. 

    Great start, kept the foot down and didn't let them get away in the third.

    Good transition footy (the change from offence to defence), predicted their attempts to get the corridor, great scoring from the turnovers.

    Galvanising win.

    Good kicking is good football.

    News to hand, Lions set to rebuild through the draft after the realisation that beating up on bottom six teams equates to nothing  at the business end of the season.

    Last 3 seasons, 1 win from 6 finals.

    Fagan’s an assistant coach

    Cameron got Hibbered again.

    Too happy and a tad blotto to give votes but I’d put Rivers in there somewhere, his best game of the year. Cheers Demonland!!!

    Kozzie's electric first half, rock solid defence from May, Petty and Lever, vastly improved delivery into the forward 50, ferocious contest work from Oliver, Viney and Petracca, accurate goalkicking and season's best performances from Rivers and Hibberd, who once again blotted out Charlie Cameron. Add in Jackson's return to his best which gave Max freedom to harass the Brisbane defence, and we couldn't ask for anything more.

    I hope he talks about forward pressure, and decisions moving the ball into the forward line. Absolutely elite.

    Bradshaw yakking about the treatment of Zorko by Melbourne but not wanting to go near Zorko’s two headlocks and some clearly not right sledging. Total misread by him. 

    Chook ease up on the grappa FCS!

    Nah he's done pretty good to get Brisbane up and about. They were a rabble when he arrived. But should have moved on two years ago.

    Our ability to pull out of tackles, not sure who it was but Neale felt the slightest of contact and fell forward but the tackling players released and kept his feet. Gawn turning the lions player in the tackle on his side so as not to fall in his back. This is massive in the context of games as we are not giving away costly free kicks. Even more impressive when you’re playing a team where their players and looking to dive at every opportunity.

    Dancin in the street tonight! What an emphatic performance. Could mot be more proud of the way the boys approached this one. How 'kick selection' into the 50 was brilliant tonight. Every decision we made and execution was just perfect. Totally bullhorned them in contested ball. We got in their heads and they knew it, no amount of retaliating was ever going to change the result. The Lions have become hunted, which is no such thing.

    Choosing a BOG is impossible, so I won't. Throw a blanket around Oliver, Trac, Lever, Brayshaw, Hibbo and the rest. They were dead set legends tonight!

    Whatever happened with Petty at 3 QT is not over by a long shot. Clearly something was said that crossed the line and there will need to be consequences. So proud of the guys we have in charge at our footy club, Richo was not going to let this fly.

    Jayden Hunt played like he just won the WWF title. His attack on the footy was ferocious and they even looked scared of him at times. He really wants his spot and why wouldn't you give it to him? Thought (relief at the) bowser did his job too. When you need to hit a target he does it.

    Matthison is a bottler.

    We targeted Zorko and the poor sod couldn't take the heat. Get pitted mate.

    I could go on and on but I need to get home to the darl. Maybe another one for the road.

    Love you all, GO DEES!!!!

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      It seems like only yesterday that these two sides faced off against each other in the centre of the continent. It was when Melbourne was experiencing a rare period of success with five wins from its previous six matches including victories over both of last year’s grand finalists.  Well, it wasn’t yesterday but it was early last month and it remains etched clearly in the memory. The Saints were going through a slump and the predicted outcome of their encounter at TIO Traeger Park was a virtual no-brainer. A Melbourne victory and another step closer to a possible rise into finals contention. Something that was unthinkable after opening the season with five straight defeats.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.
