Torquay apparently.

Had 2021 written all over it, that last quarter.

That song with the families was fantastic.

It certainly was! It's really embracing everybody in the club and family. Loved it. 

This is what a love about 2023.

The club has bought in new blood and experimented with the list. McVee, Chandler (as a regular), Woey Jnr and JVR. We have traded in proven talent to strengthen the list, Hunter and Grundy. 

After today the obvious!! Petty as a forward. I never agreed with the nay sayers saying he ain’t a forward. He is out best option. If not kicking goals, he is agile, good aerially, competes defensively and on the ground. Today the opposition will take notice. He will now get in the head of opposition coaches and players as a forward. Throw in JVR, who is also multi dimensional, we are less predictable in our weakness. KPF’s. My Caveat to this is BBB and TMac were instrumental in a Premiership and should be celebrated in our history. Injury and age have caught up with their great careers. 
 

Our midfield has more options. JJ, Sparrow, Brayshaw (playing more in recent times), Pickett, Rivers are there to provide a contest and contribute to our intercept game, and we still have Viney, Trac and Oliver…… 
 

Big tick to our coaching staff for all of the above and recognising our contest style of game was outdated, focusing on an intercept game (the new trend), whilst never giving up on our strength. Our defence. 
 

I’m enjoying this year so much more than last year. Let’s hope it’s as good as 2021.

We would be 2nd on the ladder if we had one more win

If that one win had been the Port game we would be a game clear in 2nd.

The rest of the top 4 lost. We won. It’s almost August. We are getting good at the right time. 2 matches against bottom 3 sides left in the year. We’re finishing 2nd. The Carlton game is gonna be awesome.

Ivan poked the bear & Max went I'll show you 

But I think I heard max say Goody gave him a bit of a spray at half time. He responded

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 !!!!!

Agree with everything Uncle, however his 5 goals against Geelong in the 2021 prelim was also up there.

It can't be understated how impressive Jake Melksham has been in the absence of Bayley Fritsch.

He's gone from a surefire delist at seasons end to warranting another contract for 2024.

Have we actually worked out our forward line?

Technically no, I’d like Melksham to stay in when Fritsch returns.

We’ll overtake the lions next week on percentage and port if they lose to the cats.

Reckon I’ll he barracking for Geelong for the first time in my life next weekend 


I was wrong.

Richmond really brought the heat and got out to 20pts three times. But we withstood and Max drove us home. That was a truly great win in an epic contest.

I’m drenched. Worth it. Glorious afternoon!

Petty and the Tiger breakers.

I’m glad the match committee and selectors thought Petty can play as a forward. Where’s Picket Fence?

So much for my stupid nightmares. That was a very impressive win against a fairly decent side. If Max is not the best ruckman I have seen then you can tinkle me pinkles.


What a weird game!

Hated the ball pinging around early and likes of Dusty getting on the end of three.

Second half was excellent and the last quarter thanks to Max and others the ball just stayed in our half.

Less mistakes by our backline this week.

Petty's contested marks brilliant.

Viney is such a warrior.

JVR great kicking at goal.

Some of McVee's running out of the backline was spectacular.

Salem came good in the second half.

Woey and Harmes were a huge worry.

Give yourself a jolly good thrashing BDA !

We will fit Oliver back in, but not sure Fritz will be a shoe in,

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

  • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

    The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

  • POSTGAME: Collingwood

    Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.

  • GAMEDAY: Collingwood

    It's Game Day and the Demons face a monumental task as they take on the top-of-the-table Magpies in one of the biggest games on the Dees calendar: the King's Birthday Big Freeze MND match. Can the Demons defy the odds and claim a massive scalp to keep their finals hopes alive?
