Max just switching into overdrive for me.

Yeah he was immense!

let’s say Gawn going into overdrive and Smith onto Dusty was the turning point 😂

Sparrow, Clarrie and Fritta make that team better on paper, pig too. Going to have some selection headaches soon.

Easy one :

Sparrow for Harmes

Clarrie for JJ

Fritta for Wowoedin

 

Licking my lips. 😋

I think we need to seriously consider resting a few for next week.

We can get Hibbo, Sparrow, Smith and Grundy to cover a few players. 

Harmes, Jordon and Woewodin should be in the gun regardless of the result.

Nice to see new PBs for Petty and JvR kicking a career high 6 goals and 4 respectively.

Gawn huge in the last half.

He is, but we are also a tall forward short.

See how many intercept marks Richmond got today in our forward line.

Keep Tomlinson back, drop Harmes/Woewodin/Jordon and move Smith forward.

 

His name is Robert Paulson.

Sorry, that's a glitch.

His name is Brody Grundy

 

Good win, they came hard and like the crows did with us last week we just never let them get away when things weren’t going our way.

We are an experienced side and stood up when we needed to. Some very important players hitting form at the right time.

Clarry, Fritsch and Sparrow all to come in. Forward line mix today with Fritsch added is probably the one we go with

Watch the” Petty can’t play forward” posters jump on the bandwagon now.

It's not about whether or not he can play forward, it's about what it does to the backline when he does. Thank god Lynch (and Nankervis) were out.

Swings and roundabouts.

A highly entertaining game.

 

I was worried at times!

Glad the Demons got the job done.

A great win!

 

GO YOU MIGHTY DEMONS!!! 🔴🔵👹

We didn’t just get the job done.  They were desperate, and we ‘broke’ them!


Fantastic last quarter but until then our midfield and defence lacked pace and co-ordination. Outstanding displays by Max the Magnificent and the much-maligned Petty (six shots, six goals). Melksham's skills with both feet proved invaluable with two crucial goals from acute angles.

We now need to win only two more games to clinch a top-four spot. Win all four and second place is possible. Altogether a superb round of results for us, and we still have Oliver and Fritsch to come back. I reckon Joel Smith's pace and ability to read the play earned him a chance to start ahead of Tomlinson next week.

And to put some icing on the weekend cake,  Freo's upset win failed to lift them on the ladder.

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

Fritter for ANB.

Not like for like, but good for average

I can put my hand up as being in that camp, but to be fair no one saw this coming. Nothing he’d done playing fwd this year gave any indication he had a game like that in him.

Can't agree with that. He looked like he was going to rip the game apart before he was injured the last time he played fwd.

I saw it coming, and there's more to come

Was tommo subbed off injured or tactical? Missed it at the ground...

 

Tactical I believe. He didn't look that happy after the game. It was as if he saw his chance of playing finals slipping through his fingers. I feel sorry for him.

They threw everything at us, but we stood tall and found our best forward line combination for the year with Petts, Roo, and Melky!

The best part about Petty's game was that it was actually against a pretty good defence

Agree to disagree, didn’t read any comment in the pre game thread that had Petty kicking a bag. I’m glad that he did. I just find it childish when people want to carry on with their “to those who doubted…..”, footy’s an emotional game. I was wrong and I’m happy I was.


Thanks to Richmond and the MFC for a seriously entertaining match. Was introducing the sport to my Albanian hosts and not embarrassed at all. They loved it. Plus Yze! We have at least six new fans - but I think I can convert the whole village.

We’re all talking top 2 now dude, top 4 is so last week

  • POSTGAME: Sydney

    The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.

  • CASEY: Northern Bullants

    The Casey Demons travelled to a windy Cramer Street, Preston yesterday and blew the Northern Bullants off the ground for three quarters before shutting up shop in the final term, coasting to a much-needed 71-point victory after leading by almost 15 goals at one stage. It was a pleasing performance that revived the Demons’ prospects for the 2025 season but, at the same time, very little can be taken from the game because of the weak opposition. These days, the Bullants are little more than road kill. The once proud club, situated behind the Preston Market in a now culturally diverse area, is currently facing significant financial and on-field challenges, having failed to secure a win to date in 2025.

  • GAMEDAY: Sydney

    It’s Game Day, and the Demons have a golden opportunity to build on last week’s stirring win by toppling Sydney at the MCG. A victory today would keep them firmly in the hunt for a finals spot and help them stay in touch with the pack chasing a place in the Top 8. Can the Dees make it two in a row and bring down the Swans?

  • NON-MFC: Round 11

    Round 11, the second week of The Sir Doug Nicholls Round, kicks off on Thursday night with the Cats hosting the Bulldogs at Kardinia Park. Geelong will be looking to to continue their decade long dominance over the Bulldogs, while the Dogs aim to take another big scalp as they surge up the ladder. On Friday night it's he Dreamtime at the 'G clash between Essendon and Richmond. The Bombers will want to avoid another embarrassing performance against a lowly side whilst the Tigers will be keen to avenge a disappointing loss to the Kangaroos. Saturday footy kicks off as the Blues face the Giants in a pivotal clash for both clubs. Carlton need to turn around their up and down season while GWS will be eager to bounce back and reassert themselves as a September threat. At twilight sees the Hawks taking on the Lions at the G. Hawthorn need to cement themselves in the Top 4 but they’ll need to be at their best to challenge a Brisbane side eager to respond after last week’s crushing loss to the Dees on their home turf. The first of the Saturday night double headers opens with North Melbourne up against the high-flying Magpies. The Roos will need a near-perfect performance to trouble a Collingwood side sitting atop the ladder.
