Well well well after some of the comments in the 3rd quarter maybe some of you posters should hold your horses before losing faith so easily

When we play brute force footy like we did at times in that second half no one can touch us.

Bring on finals. We are ready. 



 

Disco was serviceable, we did miss Tomlinson back there. Great endurance and effort to win.

 

Hats off to Goodwin and the coaching staff.

We're hitting very good form at the right time.

Let's GOOOOOOO.

What a win. Our best two wins of the season have been against Sydney. We were on the ropes there in the third when Max went off and Fritta then Melky went down but we soaked up a huge amount of pressure before flexing our muscles and pulling away. Fantastic. Fingers crossed for Melky. 


I don't think that we should take that comeback lightly. Swans were hot in the 3rd, we had a lot of stuff going on and we're playing some of the worst footy for a while. 

Enter the 4th and we rolled up the sleeves and got to work like a great unit does and got the job done. When they say a champion team beats a team of champions, this is a champion team.

I couldn't be prouder of the Melbourne Football Club right now. I always loved this club with everything I had but this is just a great time to be watching this club. Thanks Dees!

Magnificent finish to the H&A with a Top 4 already cemented. We should really appreciate this team, how we can change the game when all was against us in the 3rd is truly fantastic. And we’ve done it all year.

We are really hard to beat and that gives all supporters heart.

Massive effort to win from there shows the heart of this side…I would play TMac on the MCG taller forward line does well in finals (unless it’s wet)

Thunk T Mac needs to come in

Disco a talent but not ready for the big boy fwds 

Take Disco before Salem everyday. 


I’m starting to get that feeling

we look so well drilled and composed even when down 

our last quarters are the best in the AFL by a mile

IM EXCITED!!

Reading lips,I think when Smith walked to goody he asked him "hows Jake?”I recon goody replied he'll be right.

I’m sure Binman will be all over this in tomorrows podcast.

But it was evident that we really put the after burners on at 3QT. That quarter is still concerning as we have seen it in a few games throughout the year. 


Docs and physios of DL, is it pretty common to see somebody with an ACL/MCL walking around without crutches and joining in the team huddle? Seen plenty on crutches after such an injury. I know walking is possible after one of these, but surely the club doctors wouldn’t be taking any risks letting Melk wander around in the throng. 
 

Unless….

It’s understood he’s gone for the season and there’s no need for cotton wool 😢

Fritsch is just a forward 50 God with magnificent luscious hair. 

Haven't we missed Fritta.

He is an outright star of the game.

Heaven help next year with a mature Jvr and fit Petty alongside him.

Hopefully Milk is ok and and TMac comes in for a flag this Year.

The game day thread never disappoints 🤣 You’d think we just missed the finals. 

I’ve never done my ACL, but I have torn the meniscus in my knee and, for what it’s worth, it looked exactly like what Melksham did. 
 

 


Paging our mate @Webber for an injury prognosis. 
 

I can’t get over what a great win that was. Pies will be [censored] themselves.

I love stories like this haha. 

 

Brilliant win! That had such a 2021 feel to it. I thought we were gone in the third quarter but we just never gave up. 

Fritsch is an absolute legend! I rate his performance as even better than his 2021 GF given the adversity he was under. 

I feel really bad for Melksham though. He's been such an important part of our forwardline lately and he really deserves a crack at a premiership. Hope he recovers as soon as he can.

  • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

    The media has performed a complete reversal in its coverage of the Melbourne Football Club over the past month and a half. Having endured intense criticism from all quarters in the press, which continually identified new avenues for scrutiny of every aspect, both on and off the field, and prematurely speculated about the departures of coaches, players, officials, and various employees from a club that lost its first five matches and appeared out of finals contention, the narrative has suddenly shifted to one of unbridled optimism.  The Demons have won five of their last six matches, positioning themselves just one game (and a considerable amount of percentage) outside the top eight at the halfway mark of the season. They still trail the primary contenders and remain far from assured of a finals berth.

  • REPORT: Sydney

    A few weeks ago, I visited a fellow Melbourne Football Club supporter in hospital, and our conversation inevitably shifted from his health diagnosis to the well-being of our football team. Like him, Melbourne had faced challenges in recent months, but an intervention - in his case, surgery, and in the team's case, a change in game style - had brought about much improvement.  The team's professionals had altered its game style from a pedestrian and slow-moving approach, which yielded an average of merely 60 points for five winless games, to a faster and more direct style. This shift led to three consecutive wins and a strong competitive effort in the fourth game, albeit with a tired finish against Hawthorn, a strong premiership contender.  As we discussed our team's recent health improvement, I shared my observations on the changes within the team, including the refreshed style, the introduction of new young talent, such as rising stars Caleb Windsor, Harvey Langford, and Xavier Lindsay, and the rebranding of Kozzy Pickett from a small forward to a midfield machine who can still get among the goals. I also highlighted the dominance of captain Max Gawn in the ruck and the resurgence in form in a big way of midfield superstars Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver.

  • 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.
