Still worried about how we handle ground balls in our back half.. we just cannot stop the opposition. 
Wins wallpaper cracks.

This is why we miss Salem so much. Lever is like a baby giraffe as soon as the ball hits the ground.

    How appropriate for Jack to get the medal. He goes to war every week.

    Some players will die for their club - Jack Viney would gladly kill for it.

    Take the points, don’t talk about the game again.

    exceptfor the rooter! And May needs to respect his opponents cos he got beaten badly.

    If he's not injured, is he a risk to be omitted? Maybe Turner for May, Petty back home to D50

    Despite the umps, and ourselves for 2.5 quarters, we have come away with a good gritty win against a hard-working tigers outfit who came to win. We still have a long way to go, but these are important steps forward!

    Kade Chandler stepped up in that third quarter when we needed a spark, great endeavour and fight to get us back into it. 

    Our intercept game started to come back in that second half too, our defensive structure certainly looked a lot better closing out the game (which i think is drastically aided by Max's inclusion).

    The frustrating thing is he is a class player, but it was like he knew Leaver was back so tried to play loose. Prob wouldn’t drop him yet but he deserves a talking too.

    This time of year you don't want to be playing great footy, just collect as many 4 points as you can. Great football comes later.

    Yep, just bank as many wins as you can early on. Worry about hitting peak performance at the business end of the year.

    Up shot is that we have lots to improve on and we’re 4-2.

    That was what we were doing last year and that didn’t turn out well.

    May all your dreams come true.

    If anyone wants to clip this magic moment and let us all lip-read her epic 'thank you', it is just after 3:38:00 on the Kayo broadcast.

    Seriously, I nominate it for video of the week.

    I think they think they have the competition covered, have gears, turn it on and off when they feel like it. Bart Cummings preparation, can’t win the Cup in August, peak on Melbourne Cup day.

    Slow start but found a way. Viney a champion. Roo has arrived. Immense mark and conversion early in the last. Broke the tiges right there.

    richmond supporters are feral and so hard to listen to. Second only to pies in the nuffie stakes. Delighted we beat them.

    Makes a difference. 

    Jvr turns it on at the right time.

    Umps go and get...

    I think the umpires were so bad attempting to maintain an interesting contest ad nauseum, that they came out onto the ground 'gone' and 'got' in the first place.

    It seems to me that in the last quarter, we finally started to remember how we can play – far better pressure, tackles that stuck, gang tackling, making Richmond fumble. Now we have to remember that and repeat.

    Now, what do we do about our poor contested ball intensity, and our horrid ground ball skills in our defensive 50? The Tigers ripped us apart in these 2 areas tonight. If Dusty kicked straight we probably lost. 

    A major and persisting issue - terrible handballing. Inaccurate, wrong choice, to a player under pressure, high loopy blind dangerous ones, players having to stop running to take them. Poor in every way. 

    And although only 20 touches, I hope we don't drop Jordon again. Some of his off-ball work, tackling, and defensive running tonight was so, so good.

    • GAMEDAY: Western Bulldogs

      It's Game Day and the Demons will be running out on the field with a new Head Coach, albeit a caretaker, for the first time in 3,060 days when they face the Western Bulldogs at the MCG today. What do you want to see from the Demons in the first match of the Post Simon Goodwin era?

    • 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.

    • PREGAME: Western Bulldogs

      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?
