How many games have we lost in the past when we dominated the inside 50's , it's obviously not the most important stat. Even Port's first 3 goals were from chaos type i50 entries. You can can get lucky but entries like that don't generally win you games

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

Win tough games interstate at any time and it builds momentum and confidence.

And luckily with no fresh injuries.

Playing differently this year. We won't lead the I50s as much as we have previously.  

So much better, our forward line is less congested which leads to less stagnation there and allows our crafty forwards and bustling players to get to work.

Outside of the GF it's one of the best wins I've seen live. ANB deserves a hug.

Aah, that was beautiful!

Stuff it. 
I’m going to watch it again and savour every verbal abuse and angry look from the crowd that went with some fine play by our Dees.  
I said on Tuesday that I thought they might throw a cracker at us, and I wasn’t far wrong.

Conor Rozee is a [censored] disgrace and ANB is a [censored] boss. One of my favourite H&A wins in the Goody era. Superb. 

I’m convinced Rozee made the Rivers tackle look worse than it actually was. That was a bullshiit decision

We hung in and stole that one. Impressive...

I don't know that we stole it. It was a tough game start to finish. They got off to a flier then we dominated from midway through the first to about midway through the 2nd. They wrested momentum back when Gawn and Oliver had a rest in the 2nd. We withheld some heavy attack from them in the 3rd then put the foot down at the start of the last. Esava going off for a period was key but Oliver started dominating around the contest in the last. They were missing Powell-Pepper and Horne-Francis but May was out for us. I think it was just a great 59/50 game and we came out on top as we had the grit for a bit longer. If it went another 5 minutes they may have got over us but thems the breaks.

Yep, that was special.

When you imagine a great Benny Brown game that is exactly what comes to mind. Fantastic work rate, continually leading up at the ball and a dead eye dick in front of goal. The big fella is a difference maker when he plays like that.

One of Nib’s best games in the red and blue. Windsor is going to be a star. Midfield stars stood up when it mattered.

JV choking up post match said it all.

One of those wins that just make you proud to support this footy club.

Yes … and it was also a sling. Rivers needs to learn from that.,

T-Mac won't go in the best on field. But he was just brilliant I thought. Kept Dixon to 1 goal, made life difficult for Charlie all night. He had 7 intercept possessions and went at 100% disposal efficiency.

Yes, and we did it in a way that is MFC in 2024. Absorb and let them flounder with no space in their F50, and then get a turnover and slingshot with kicking to forwards leading at the ball. (Ironically this is how teams beat us the last few years - when you are all about forward half turnover and can’t move the footy from the other arc - you have no space.)

Thats why we have 22+ scoring shots from 45 I50s.

This is actual footy, it’s been missing entirely the last couple of years. So glad it’s back.

Is it a coincidence we bring in BB and Petty and all of a sudden our forward efficiency improves?

Likely big targets who can play straighten us up.

Ratugolea’s goal was my favourite.
If I was Kossie, I would’ve high-fived him. 

so poor wasn’t it. In a tight game.

Thought Marty Hore did a good job down back. It's a pleasure having him back at the club. 

He's a steady defender, just needs to relax on giving away some silly free kicks 🤣

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. 

I was there too.  I know it depends to a large degree on where you sit but from my perspective, Collingwood supporters are far, far more feral than Port’s. 
(I still can’t get over how they started chanting their stupid chant when Brayshaw was knocked out cold on the ground in last year’s final).

    There were a number of Demonland Trackwatchers at Gosch's Paddock this morning to bring you their observations from Preseason Training. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS They were going hard at each other. The sims were in two 15 minute blocks. The second block finished a few minutes early, they gathered and had another 7 minutes at it. I think they were asked to compete, as they would play against an opposition. There was plenty of niggle, between some of them. At the end o

    Better late than never … and quite frankly, there’s very little to report other than that training took place at Casey Fields this morning, that Tracc was there nursing his rib injury and that some photographs are on the club’s social media including this one of Clarrie in Raging Bull stance that gives rise for confidence. The other news is that the club has a new train on player in 185cm Dandenong Stingrays midfielder Noah Hibbins-Hargreaves (love the hyphenated name which is just so fitti

    Welcome back to Demonland for those like me who have been on vacation. I’m posting this with some trepidation because of a certain amount of uncertainty surrounding the return of preseason training in 2025 after a flurry of weddings including those of our coach, one of our superstar players and a former premiership champion player and bloke, not to mention the recent mysterious incident that occurred on the Mornington Peninsula.  I believe that the team reassembles this morning at Casey Fie
