Incredible preview image on the video.

That's a much younger me talking to Strawbs O'Dwyer on the ground at the end of the game.

Not many Demonlanders can say that they've witnessed Melbourne winning a World Cup.

I was the flight to the states with these guys plus hawks and cats. didnt realize I was on the flight  till waiting to board I was in the land of giants .lucky there were no smart phones and soc med . In transit in Hawaii someone brought outa footy for kick to kick . To quote clint , a man has to know his limitations so I decided  not to ask to join in and show my lack of skills :) . I did however collect the few stray kicks.

Can you be mysterious and do a @Demonstone head scratcher, so we can work it out?

Fantastic to see that again. Thanks for posting. I was there, introducing a group of English friends to the game. They really struggled with the clash of colours - shame one side didn’t wear white shorts. Mind, the beer didn’t help…

  • REPORT: West Coast

    On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

  • POSTGAME: West Coast

    Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.

  • GAMEDAY: West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?
