A highly entertaining game.

 

I was worried at times!

Glad the Demons got the job done.

A great win!

 

GO YOU MIGHTY DEMONS!!! 🔴🔵👹

    We can kick scores with a more mobile forward line. I am very pleased that Goody pulled the trigger on Petty forward and Tomlinson staying back. Again Smith came in and was effective and played his role.

    Our side is showing some great resilience at the moment and that never say die attitude. I think we're in a much better headspace at the moment than a month ago and we are evolving as a side as well. I used to think we wouldn't stand up in a shoot out but they are bucking the trend there!

    Yes Bitters.... that game went a long way to helping solve the forward conundrum

    I will enjoy the replay

    Holy [censored] that was one exciting game to watch!

    We just griiiiiiinnnnd them away!

    Petty and JVR were [censored] unreal.

    Maxy on that performance alone should be a 7 time All Australian. That was [censored] nuts

    Give Melksham another contract. He's best 22 for the rest of the year.

    Go you [censored] dees!

    A really solid performance. What a win!

    An intense high pressure cracking game !!!

    The toiges did us for pressure and intensity early and had our measure.

    But .... along came Max ... big bad Max the mountain!!!

    You will NEVER see a better performance in the ruck - EVER !!!!

    A number of other top performances but I must single out Petty. He played more like  a forward than any other forward ( bar Fitta ) than we have played this year.

    A very tough game - fortunate to have Norf next week.

    There is a feeling in the Bitter nethers that says, " this is our year" !

    GO DEES !!!!!

    Good post Uncle. Credit to Richmond who swang all day. Props to Petty. Maybe the fwd line is fixed. But Max was on another level after half time. 

    Vintage Gawn. Can't be stopped.

    That win is  a  strong message to the other clubs.

    In the pre game thread I hoped Petty would kick 2 goals and take 4 contested marks.

    Will have to watch the replay to assess whether he met expectations.

    Wish they would start these games a little earlier so we can see the song after. Live Ladder now has us finishing 2nd but what would live ladder know.

    We are timing our run to the flag perfectly. Can't expect perfection, but the momentum is real

    EPIC upon EPIC!!  We are on the march to September, and in it up to our necks!! We have sorted our forward structure ….  as Goody said we would!  Who says Max is no longer the AA ruckman?  Pffft!  Go Dees!!  We all love you!

    That’s footy!

    Hate to be that guy but (like I suggested) they left the press at home and just let the boys play and it was fun!

    And actually, you know, HELPFUL FOR EMBEDDING A BATTLIN’ FORWARD LINE WITH CONFIDENCE AND PURPOSE.

    Keep doing that the rest of the year and we will finish wherever in the top 4 with a forward line that knows itself.

    That dropped mark he will be lucky to hold his place next week.

    How good was Petty! I was sceptical of playing him forward but I've changed my mind. Everything he touched turned to gold.

    All in all, I'm thrilled with that win. That was a very high pressure game and we held up brilliantly. Still got another four games left but I'm much more confident heading into the finals than I was this time last year. 

    Just imagine, Clarrie and Fritta are to come into that team to strengthen it...truly!

    Always trust Goody and the SC

    they reward the right players

    in Petty they see a gun key fwd when many of us doubted it. 

    what a win!!

    A lot of it is stuff you don't even notice until you watch a replay.

    • The Clayton Oliver Thread

      Melbourne have held talks with Clayton Oliver and they’ve laid out where he fits in under Steve King’s vision and been frank about expectations. Oliver is still under contract for five years, but the door is open if he wants to explore his options elsewhere.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Essendon

      It’s Pink Lady night at Princes Park — a vibey Friday evening setting for a high-stakes clash between second-placed Melbourne and eleventh-placed Essendon. The wind-sheltered IKON Park, a favourite ground of the Demon players, promises flair, fire and a touch of pink. Melbourne has never lost a home-and-away game here, though the ghosts of two straight-sets finals exits in 2023 still linger.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 1 Steven May 

      The premiership defender has shown signs of wear and tear due to age, and his 2025 season was inconsistent, ending poorly with a suspension and a noticeable decline in performance. The Demons are eager to integrate younger players onto their list and have indicated that they may not be able to guarantee him senior games next season, in what would be the final year of his contract.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 2 Jacob van Rooyen

      The young key tall failed to make progress during the season, with a decline in his goal kicking output. His secondary role as a backup ruckman, which may have hindered his ability to further develop his game, and he was also impacted by the team's poor forward connection. It will be interesting to observe his performance under a new coaching regime.
