  • Demonland changed the title to POSTGAME: Rd 04 vs Adelaide
 

Strong team win from a tough  scrambly game  ... on top of a short break. Class does show through !

Two wins in Adelaide - who else has done that?

 Inexplicable umpiring at times!

Bring on Brisvegas!  

 

That’s a clean sweep. Well done boys.

See ya next Thursday.

Incredible effort. Surely we've just done something no club has ever done before - knock of both of a non Vic state's sides over there in consecutive weeks.

 

Great effort to beat both Adelaide clubs in 5 days. Major confidence builder. Awesome stuff Melbourne!

Oh yeah - TOP OF THE LADDER - Go DEES!

What a trip for the club. Take the points and get the hell out of there!

Strange night on the stats sheet again. Lots of players down on numbers. Got it done though

2 from 2 in Adelaide 💪🔴🔵😈

Two from two.  Not "2 from 2".  Poor English.

Great effort by the boys tonight. Up against a team with extra players, short break, banged up and a playing in front of a hostile crowd. Great to get the win and now have a little extra rest before we are back at home!


Was not hoping for nerves in that qtr but we would have been gassed and held them up really well in the end.

We take 4 points and won both games in Adelaide, with only 5 days break. Can’t imagine that was pencilled in at the start of the year.  Can’t argue with that! How good is McVee? Caleb was impressive.

Great effort boys - bring on the Lions then a well deserved break.

It's poor English to start a sentence with a number

1 thought that comes to mind is who gives a flying ****?

Not one for a 'Name a Game' VHS but great to win ugly off a 5 day break and three extra players for the Crows.

Blake Howes being a gun defender was not on my 2024 bingo card but I'm all for it.

Would have taken 3-3 before opening round and most certainly after it, to be 4-2 or 5-1 at the bye is a HUGE result for this team. Our best is yet to come.

 


Steven May take an absolute bow. What a star!!!

A great team performance, against the umps, off a 5 day break, against a team that desperately needed a win at their home ground. 
 

So proud of this club, after all the garbage we had thrown at us this off season, we didn’t let it impact us instead we said “watch this” 🫡

Can’t complain about getting 8 premiership points in Adelaide 

As sweet as it gets.

Stuck it up the Afl.

The umpires.

The fans.

And commentators.

Now let's get home.

A win was all we needed. I knew Adelaide were going to be competitive as they were under enormous pressure coming into this game.

Trac was our best by a fair margin. He set the tone in the first half. Windsor continues to impress. His composure is next level for a 5th gamer.

Winning two games in Adelaide within five days is a bloody good effort if you ask me.

  • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

    Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front. They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

  • REPORT: West Coast

    On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

  • POSTGAME: West Coast

    Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
