Demons up by 2 points after a Tmac behind from the far half forward line.

Happy with what I've seen so far. It's a hot day in the sun but the boys are working hard, look fit and hungry.

    Field kicking has been impressive. Goal kicking not so much.

    Kozzy on the siren!!! TMac provides the contest and Pickett picks up the crumbs!

    Few too many 40 out chances when you’d want them inside 30 but we’re getting decent enough shots.

    our game plan just isn’t tear it up free running footy. It’s controlled kicking and burst from congestion runner 

    But a rivers kick to Chandler that set up a scoring shot was indicative of a willingness to attack more.

    It’s really windy here. 

    Is the wind favoring one end more?

    Early thoughts

    - Hunter looks a player. Had about 8 touches (all constructive) and a goal.

    - Oliver and Petracca: Business at usual.

    - TMac imposing early.

    - Gawn started in the ruck before Grundy came on about 10 minutes in. Gawn then took the final 5 or so minutes.

    - McVee had a couple of nice moments.

    Early returns on Pickett mid and Rivers having a rotation are both promising without being spectacular.

    ANB also took a wing rotation that I assumed might be Spargo or Harmes

    Langdon haircut?

    Yep. Harder to make out on the far wing now. Got the buzz cut a few months ago. Doesn't look like he is planning on growing it back.

    Any indication that Gawn or Grundy will contribute when not rucking, or should we get used to seeing one of them on the bench all day?

    One of our better first sixths. 

    8ths


    Grundy, Pickett, Viney and Sparrow at centre bounce. ANB takes Hunters place on members wing.

    Goal to petracca. So quick.

    Edit: might be Hunter on the far wing. Hard to tell him and Langdon apart from distance with Lingers haircut.

    This chick commentating is way better than underwood 

    Jess Webster, yep.

    Seems to have just the right tone for the occasion. Pleased to be there, keeping the conversation going during slow patches without sending it off the rails, lifting the energy a bit for good passages of play but not going over the top.

    I guess the short summary is she seems like someone it'd be good to watch the football with.

    Would need to take a LOT of unidentified white powder before becoming unhinged enough to commentate a friday night game, though.

    Melbourne kick an early one in the second as Gawn crashes the pack, allowing Trac to walk into goal

    Bowey with a lovely defensive mark.

      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?
