In what was a dead rubber for the Demons the game still produced some carnage with Jake Melksham looking like he will be out for the remainder of the season with a knee injury. The Dees overcame a charge from the Swans in the third and ran away winners by 21 points. The Dees will take on the Magpies in the first week of the finals.

Magnificent win !!!!  We toughed it out finals style!

Fritta - he's back ! What an effort. Fairy tale stuff.  Simply outstanding.

Melky - sadly a question mark.

Umpiring - inconsistent.    

That Grand Old Flag a coming .  I can feel it in my nethers.  

If we go on and win the Premiership, it stems from this gutsy effort

 

Fantastic win Demons, never say die, tough, desperate, class

Rest up and let's knock the stuffing out of the Pies

Great hard comeback. Every digit crossed for Melksham. Great 2nd half Trac. Great seeing the feline Fritta back!


That was a seriously impressive win. Key forwards going down left and right, Swans with elite pressure locking it in and star players not getting near it but they flicked the switch later in the 3rd and dominated the 4th.

One of my most favourite wins aside from the finals wins.

Never in doubt lads!

Fantastic performance!

I'll keep harping on this, but bookmark us a grand final berth. Our system is as good as its been since 2021.

Defensively sound and contested work is at an all time high.

Very proud of the boys and Simons Goodwin!

 

I’m so appreciative of this team. Nothing to play for, everything going against us, and we just refused to give up.

I’m so proud to be a Melbourne supporter. This is the best team I’ve ever seen.

Wasn't able to watch the 2nd half. What happened to Milkshake?


This is an unbelievable win. Really can’t be underestimated how good that win was. 

Hopes and prays for Milkshake. 

Laurie looked good

Thunk T Mac needs to come in

Disco a talent but not ready for the big boy fwds

If we don’t get anymore injuries we will win it. 
We are the best side in it when we turn it on. Prove me otherwise. 


In my opinion this 1st vs 4th game shapes the finals series. If we win it then we'll be at the big dance. 

Great, gritty win against a very desperate team who brought a lot of pressure and intensity.

Awesome return from Fritter.

We enter the finals in great form, with just the ‘loss’ against the Blues in the last 2 months. Just about the best placed of the top 4. 

Hopefully Melk is ok, we need him! 

Pumped for the Pies, let’s go Dees!


Now that was bloody impressive ……. like what great teams to do!

Feels like we got a good look at our finals campaign today. And I love what I saw.

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

  • PREGAME: Gold Coast

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
