Rivers take a bow, fantastic game.

You know if May wins his matchup but is still the lowest rated defender of the night we've had some sort of a game.

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

    Agree.

    But of course, they're interrelated.

    Good lord. Hard to pick a favourite stat out of that lot. They’re all (Bruce-style) delicious.

    Best game in ages.
    Loved the baulk on the boundary and kick to Fritta.

    Absolutely delightful game...!  Told my emotional support German not to cheer too much until we got at least a 5 goal lead.  Very happy to spend the rest of the game celebrating!

    You've got it all wrong.
    You cheer from the start and give the team emotional support.

    Yes of course - except I doubt they could hear us through the TV!

    ANB was doubled over off the ball and I want to know who punched him in the guts. Surely there will be camera vision somewhere of the sniper attack.

    Just as the mark was taken you could see ANB in the background go down with a Brisbane player next to him. I couldn't make out who it was but it was off the ball and deserves a look.

    True... and there's no need to pass on a lifetime of MFCSS to my friend, the newly converted Dees fan!

    Yeah we lost that game, we won tonight

    don’t  compare Oranges and apples, turn your lights off and sit alone wallowing in self pity, whilst the rest of us enjoy the win

    No ones wallowing in self pity I'm not even complaining, exaggerate much. Even the people who may be and I don't think anyone is, only want the best outcome for the side, but criticise away if it makes you feel superior.

    So I got t9 listen to most of the first qtr on radio before I had to leave.

    so I’ve read nothing, just got back to my Airbnb, today I’ve managed to explore more of Czechia, do glass blowing (making my own red and blue mug) and drink copious amounts of beer. I’m now sittin on my balcony, it raining, thiunder and lighting going off as I sit with a beer and a cigar and ready to plough into the musings on Demonland. Everything I’ve seen on twitter and thought mate groups was a cracking game, saw some highlights. This was the ruthless Dees we all needed to see. Cmon sainters give an effort. Keep us in second!

    Also very keen to see what happened there. Harmes really wanted to get stuck into Zorko shortly after it, made me think at the time Zorko gave Nibbler a cheapie. 
    I’m surprised at how little it was talked about especially after seeing ANB vomit, was caught on the big screen too as you could hear the crowd’s reaction.

    Mighty impressive performance.

    Trac was back tonight! Our barometer.

    Loved the straight kicking.

    Luke Jackson's best game since Gold Coast game.

    Beating up Brisbane is a good feeling!

    Clarry maybe a Brownlow vote or two?

    BBB brilliant.

    Hibbo's job on Cameron.

    May' physicality!

    Hunt great game for four quarters.

    Rivers excellent.

    Picking the best 6 players is really difficult and that is the way I like it - performances like that represent a whole team effort across a whole game - the team performance lifted enormously and merit points widely distributed at the expense of individual efforts and outcomes.

    Zorko and a couple of other Lions really attempted any opportunity to inflict cheap damage to the Demons right across the game - particularly from behind when running past and in contested huddles on the ground. A great sign from the Dees was their ability to temper responses that might ruin our match and form dominance. That is the measure of 'mongrel' we have been looking for. A few apt responses in the form of direct challenge came from Viney and Harmes - and no Lion had the courage to anoint Tracca with a cheap shot, it appears. The ANB incident needs investigation in particular.

    I had a good feeling about this game in the lead up days. 
    I was reflecting last night that it is not so long ago that at this point of the season the  only thing we had to look forward to was draft night.

    This year like last we are in the action part of the season. 
    we can dare to dream again.

    Go Dees.

    Let's just all say it was  Zorko.

    I’m sure it’s been said on this thread already but how the F is that not a 50 metre penalty against zorko when he put Langdon in an ongoing headlock after being run down. Even without the comment to Petty, Zorko was at it all night and , as a captain,  disgraced himself.

    Lions played us into form  😉

    Though Sparrow did  well against the Lions. A few fumbles but his body mass usage in tacklings meant that several prominent opponents, when tackled by Sparrow, stayed tackled and ineffective for some moments. This kid is a bull and is getting very effective in this role - his responses with the ball are continuing to improve, as well. He is like a door-jam in our team for opponents of all shapes and sizes (and reputations), and it would be good to see his 'recovery' and 'distribution of the the ball' given ongoing coaching attention and development. This will be the marque by which his 'boomers' will shag other teams with his ongoing impact development.

    • CASEY: Geelong

      There was a time in the second quarter of the game at the Cattery on Friday afternoon when the Casey Demons threatened to take the game apart against the Cats. The Demons had been well on top early but were struggling to convert their ascendancy over the ground until Tom Fullarton’s burst of three goals in the space of eight minutes on the way to a five goal haul and his best game for the club since arriving from Brisbane at the end of 2023. He was leading, marking and otherwise giving his opponents a merry dance as Casey grabbed a three goal lead in the blink of an eye. Fullarton has now kicked ten goals in Casey’s three matches and, with Melbourne’s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next week’s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forward’s efforts - he finished with 19 disposals and eight marks and had four hit outs as back up to Will Verrall in the second half - it wasn’t enough as Geelong reigned in the lead through persistent attacks and eventually clawed their way to the lead early in the last and held it till they achieved the end aim of victory.

    • REPORT: Geelong

      I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?
