We’re into our 6th ‘Grand old Flag’ on the train home. It’s packed.

Song stops, it’s quiet(ish) after 10 seconds of cheering, then all of a sudden………....Iiiiiiiiittttttttt’ssssss a………….

Make that our 10th verse and for some reason no one is hopping off the train 🤪

Just got home from the ground. My parents are both in their 70’s and travelled a couple of hours to come stay with me and go to the game. The Demons give us a reason to be together and a common passio

The age of miracles is upon us! Like all Goody's critics I am absolutely delighted to eat humble pie. I never thought they could do it.

Melksham literally our matchwinner with that great mark and ice-cool finish. Petracca, Gawn and Viney led the way, and Joel Smith was a big improvement on Petty, who looked out of sorts almost from the start. Puzzling how nearly-fit Oliver gets ruled out but clearly unfit Petty gets a start.

But all credit to Goodwin and the players. Goody cops it whenever we lose so he deserves to share the praise for that amazing turnaround too.

When the siren went I automatically looked at Goody's reaction & he and the players the bench were all in a group hug then goody ran out and hugged everyone. 

You can't deny the players just love him as a coach. 

By the way kudos to Joel Smith. Took some crucial marks and looked good down back

Posted the below on the game day thread and it’s directed towards a few who have already posted on here

 

Been saying it forever some of you so called supporters are a disgrace and need to have a good look at yourself 

Maxy take a bow

Trac likewise

Melk good defensive forward effort

Boys showed a lot of courage tonight

Took the game on and yes at times they got burned on the rebound but it is a coaching (yes coached) directive we really stood up in the last quarter thought we may have blown it with those early last quarter misses, but a fantastic win

Man o man! That was feckin awesome.

Love feckin with Brisbane's minds!

Persistence and refusal to give it away.

Some highlights. Some of one on one contests by Rivers, Smith and Mc Vee.

Max back to dominating best.

Jake the snake. The left foot snap and that mark.

Viney's goal. Sheer will power. Viney full stop.

Kozzie lookin dangerous again.

Hated: May's game. Spargo's game and Langdon's game. Hunter wasn't great either.

There's a thread about media bias.

Could care less about media bias.

But the ridiculous bias against us by some posters, who supposedly 'support' the dees, and just parrot the medias weekly talking points, does my head in.

FMD - just heard the call by sen in the last 30 seconds.

Whately:

'Melbourne rescue their season"

Rescue?

The footy media is pathetic 

I don't think Whateley was far wrong. Defeat tonight would have been a big psychological blow and could have left us in a potential logjam of teams battling to make finals.

Only 39k but at the ground the dees fans were brilliant and super loud in the last quarter.

I have zero doubt it was a big factor.

Good work dees fans. 

Chocco said he thought it was the first time the crowd noise got us over the line.

I'm sure it's been said numerous times all ready, but "HOW [censored] GOOD IS JAKE MELKSHAM!!!"

Love this bloke.  He certainly had his moments tonight - both bad and VERY VERY good ones, but overall, I love the way he attacked the contest and took on the game by foot.

Not gone yet Jakey boy.  ❤💙❤💙❤💙

I am stunned. Absolutely stunned. I hope that comeback is the start for the rest of the season. Reminded me of Geelong in 21.

Exactly 

Geelong 21 Had the same emotion

Amazing

Rescue our season? Give me a spell.

If we lost we still would have been 4th at the end of the round, with a soft run home.

The media's addiction to drama is mind numbing.

The same sen crew were talking about Grundy getting traded at seasons end such was hysteria over Grundy being omnited.

Manufactured drama.

    PREGAME: Rd 11 vs St. Kilda

    The Demons return to the MCG to take on the Saints in Round 11 on the back of two straight losses in a row. With Jake Lever out with concussion who comes in and who goes out?

    Last week Captain Max Gawn consolidated his lead over reigning champion Christian Petracca in the Demonland Player of the Year Award. Steven May, Alex Neal-Bullen & Jake Lever make up the Top 5. Your votes for the loss against the Blues. 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1.

    POSTGAME: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    Many warned that this was a danger game and the Demons were totally outclassed all game by a young Eagles team at Optus Stadium in Perth as they were defeated by 35 points.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have returned to the site of their drought breaking Premiership to take on the West Coast Eagles in what could very well be a danger game for Narrm at Optus Stadium. A win and a percentage boost will keep the Dees in top four contention whilst a loss will cast doubt on the Dees flag credentials and bring them back to the pack fighting for a spot in the 8 as we fast approach the halfway point of the season.

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had

    CENTIMETRES by Whispering Jack

    Our game is one where the result is often decided by centimetres; the touch of a fingernail, a split-second decision made by a player or official, the angle of vision or the random movement of an oblong ball in flight or in its bounce and trajectory. There is one habit that Melbourne seems to have developed of late in its games against Carlton which is that the Demons keep finding themselves on the wrong end of the stick in terms of the fine line in close games at times when centimetres mak
