    Ben Brown makes a huge difference to our team

    Having a big fwd who will mark above his head takes a lot of attention away from Fritta and JvR and splits the defence 

    Just good to have a big presence to be mindful of as a defender as well. As long as he doesn't have to do too much defensive running he's still a good target.

    I'm proud to say that today's match was the first Melbourne game I've attended interstate. 

    What a bloody win. Couldn't be prouder of the boys.

    Wonderful win, we soaked up their pressure for 3 quarters and then really went to work in the last

    And here’s me 3 weeks ago saying Brown and TMac are dead and cooked. I bow before thee in great apology. That goal from Ben on 50 when the crowd’s meth had really kicked in……awesome

    Credit for putting the hand up. Very few do.

    Hung around all night, great resilience on display where Port clamped down a lot of players like Fritsch, Petracca and Pickett. ANB, Langdon, BBB were so good, great to see Windsor kick his first. All this without May. One of the best wins in Goodwin era, a genuine contender with a lot more upside to come.

    It's March you just want wins on the board, playing premiership footy now is pointless.

    Dumbest comment of the year. Did you expect us to win a different way or? Make it make sense with some people 🤦

    How awesome is accurate kicking?

    15 goals from only 45 entries is awesome

    ANB is a freak, he’s gone to an A grader this year

    I wouldn’t say an A grader. However, he’s an improving playing even at his age. It’s more the mental now. ANB is athletic, with a tank, but a cooler head than we see. He is aging well, and he will improve.

    Fitness - 11/10. we ran over the top.

    Midfield/stoppage/clearance - 3/10 for first 3 quarters, 15/10 for last quarter. 

    Field kicking - 1/10 for 3 quarters. 8/10 last quarter.

    Lever, Viney, Max, BBB, - epic leadership. 

    Goal kicking - 9/10.

    Umpiring was poor to both teams, no advantage. 5/10

    He's on fire this year.  Was key tonight when Oliver and co were being held back.

    • PREGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      With their season all over bar the shouting the Demons head back on the road for the third week in a row as they return to Adelaide to take on the Crows. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.

    • GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons are back on the road again and this may be the last roll of the dice to get their 2025 season back on track as they take on the Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium.

    • PREVIEW: Gold Coast

      The Gold Coast Suns find themselves outside of the top eight for the first time since Round 1 with pressure is mounting on the entire organisation. Their coach Damien Hardwick expressed his frustration at his team’s condition last week by making a middle-finger gesture on television that earned him a fine for his troubles. He showed his desperation by claiming that Fox should pick up the tab.  There’s little doubt the Suns have shown improvement in 2025, and their position on the ladder is influenced to some extent by having played fewer games than their rivals for a playoff role at the end of the season, courtesy of the disruption caused by Cyclone Alfred in March.  However, they are following the same trajectory that hindered the club in past years whenever they appeared to be nearing their potential. As a consequence, that Hardwick gesture should be considered as more than a mere behavioral lapse. It’s a distress signal that does not bode well for the Queenslanders. While the Suns are eager to remain in contention with the top eight, Melbourne faces its own crisis, which is similarly deep-seated but in a much different way. After recovering from a disappointing start to the season and nearing a return to respectability among its peer clubs, the Demons have experienced a decline in status, driven by the fact that while their form has been reasonable (see their performance against the ladder leader in the Kings Birthday match), their conversion in front of goal is poor enough to rank last in the competition. Furthermore, their opponents find them exceptionally easy to score against. As a result, they have effectively eliminated themselves from the finals race and are again positioned to finish in the bottom half of the ladder.
