I couldn’t watch the game because unfortunately I’m cruising through the Mediterranean, currently floating off the coast of Sorrento. Can’t wait to see the replay.

There’s not really any point to this story. Just gloating.

    6 disposals from Spargo resulted in 2 goals, 1 goal assist, 3 score involvements. Every touch led to a score.

    Just FYI I'm pretty sure the goal assist and the 2 goals all count as score involvements.

    A great game and a great win!

    A wonderful debut game from Jacob van Rooyen.

    Glad we had a win for Clayton Oliver's 150th game!

     

     

    Hopefully Ben Brown's back is ok?

     

    Bring on West Coast next week!

     

    GO DEMONS!!!! 🔴🔵👹

    As a Melbournian who nowadays finds themselves in the strange land of Sydney... I've picked out an outfit in red and blue to show up in to the office tomorrow  😁  Scarf as the finishing touch, of course

    Cannot believe how comfortable I felt from the outset at the game today, a rare feeling. The entire team busted their asses and I could throw a blanket over votes.

    Unbelievably rare against a team like the Swans who are traditionally relentless across the park against us.

    JVR is the first ‘true’ pack hitting forward we’ve had since Neitz and it’s a beautiful thing. Lever clearly fit this year and even better with May at his side.

    McVee compliments Bowey beautifully with ball use off half back and huge props to Grundy, Clarry and Tracc for wrestling back the stoppage issues in the second half. Couldn’t pin point a bad contributor. One of the best recent wins I can remember seeing live.

    A good team wide response to the game they served up last week.

    Midfield was much sharper today with excellent pressure and intensity. It really does make a world of difference to the team performance in the forward and back 50 arcs. The selection was spot on this week and the team was well coached on the day. Goodwin played them to their strengths and they stood up when challenged, both as a team and as individuals. 

    What to say about JVR's debut??? Really, all you could ask for. Put himself about, tackled tirelessly and kicked a few. A lot of good games in there. Chandler, Spargo, Jordon, Sparrow, Rivers, McVee and Hibberd....... lesser lights but all had telling contributions. 

    Liked Grundy's game. It improved the longer the game went on. 

    Viney will need to find some form to keep his spot. In a strongly performing midfield and with depth knocking on the door, you need to be 'on' every week. 

    A lot to like from this game.

    Kossie back next week??? Who do you take out of that side for him? Tough decisions to make. The performance of the small forwards this week shows what my lie ahead if he walks at the end of the season. I would have him in the team next week and want him to sign on for another couple of seasons at least but today's performance gives me high hopes for the future.

    Nice one Boys!

    If you were Kossie why would you walk? He may not be paid quite as much as some of the lower sides would pay him, but he would be very well paid. You just need to look at Jackson at Fremantle to see how very good players can become rapidly irrelevant if they are also not in very good teams. I’m sure Goodie and the boys would be pointing that out to him. I’d be staggered if he walked….

    Fully concur with a lot of other posters regarding the performance of the team.  How exciting are our young uns!

    For Langdon - although it didn't pay off with the big 6 points multiple times, it was really good to see him having an attacking mindset.  Three behinds ain't a bad effort for a winger, we just need to get Choco to help convert them in future!  Hunter was fantastic of course, clearly back up and running now he's out of the Doghouse (both literally and figuratively).

    Agreed re slotting at leaat one of the three.  Also the last one running in, he had 2 to 3 loosish options ahead with an OTT handball if he lowered his vision.

    Easy to say from the bleaches and much harder to pull off under heat but i would be surprised if that doesn't receive a minor mention as part of his review on Monday.

    Trying to find some media write ups. The Sun has nothing on our game even though it was a smashing of last years grand finalist. and the Age has a small article hidden away

    god knows if we lost by 50 we’d be on the back page!

    After Clarrie streamed through the middle to kick his first goal a guy in the crowd near me stood up and did the Clarrie finger point around the crowd. Classic!

    • Thank You Simon Goodwin

      As Demon fans, we’ve ridden a rollercoaster of emotions over the decades; the heartbreaks, the near misses, the wooden spoons, and the endless waiting. But through it all, we clung to hope. And then came Simon Goodwin. Before he ever wore red and blue, he was a champion in his own right. A five-time All-Australian, two-time Best and Fairest, and two-time premiership hero and Captain with Adelaide, Simon Goodwin was always destined to lead. When he transitioned from the field to the coach's box, first as an assistant at Essendon, he began shaping a new legacy.

    • PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

      Long ago and far away, the Melbourne Football Club replaced its coach in difficult circumstances after the team suffered a devastating loss. In the aftermath, I penned the following words: “Then came the politics, the intrigue, the axing, the sound of the football world laughing at a club, the circling of the media vultures, the reinvention of history, the anger, the irony, the pathos, the hurt on the face of the president, the dignified departure of the coach, and the determination of the newly appointed caretaker.” Today, we’re back in the same place although one difference here is that the coach who was terminated this time is Simon Goodwin, the man who four years ago

    • REPORT: West Coast

      The Charles Dickens novel, A Tale of Two Cities, opens with, “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, …”  This phrase highlights many of the significant challenges that humanity encounters in life, ranging from experiencing remarkable highs to living in times of despair. This is a concept that should resonate with all supporters of the Melbourne Football Club this morning as they reflect on its comprehensive 83-point victory over the struggling West Coast Eagles at Marvel Stadium. The outcome proved beyond doubt that they are the worst of clubs and that we are the best of the worst.

      With only 3 games to go, all against Top 8 fancies, the Demons face a daunting task as they return to the MCG when they play the Western Bulldogs. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons return to town fresh off a thumping win over the back-to-back wooden spooners, the West Coast Eagles, played in front of a sparse crowd at Marvel Stadium, the same venue that hosted last week's heartbreaking loss.
