not a vintage performance but we got the 4 points. that's all that matters

umpiring not good. so blatantly biased. 

looks like May pulled up ok. played well and totally vindicated decision to select him, particularly first half.

4-1 is a great start to the season. we're in a great chance this year folks make no mistake.

Go Dees.

    Never had the misfortune. Can't imagine it'd be fun if you needed to force one out

    Said pregame I didn't care how it looked, just wanted the 4 points and no injuries. 

    Really annoyed at Kozzie tbh. His lack of discipline really hurt us in the sf against Carlton last year and he still does dumb stuff like that. 

    Still very pleased overall though

    I reckon we ran out of petrol off a 5 day break.  Did enough to win, then shut it down.  I’ll take the 8 points and roll on.

    Picket doesn’t seem to have learned anything from his last suspension. 

    Looks like he might miss a week again. 

    He needs to learn from his mistakes.

    That certainly wasn’t pretty and a lot of players well down but that is a great result.

    No reward for our tackling.

    Well done backline.

    Adelaide, mostly individuals, trying to win it by themselves.

    Absolutely. I totally wrote him off at the start of the year, he is looking so bloody solid.

    Good to win in different ways. Kicking for goal was very ordinary tonight. 

    Good team effort. Loved Howes in the last.

    Petracca best on ground.

    Fritta three goals in third.

    McVee in first half.

    Well we definitely know how to win ugly.

    Lets hope for a change and turn it back in to poetry next week

    We were absolutely cooked in the last. We put the foot down in the third knowing we would run out of gas in the last. That last quarter was just professional defensive slog. Brilliant. Don’t underestimate how tough these two games were.

    Just hung on. Our talls helped out with some last gasp marking. We were tired from a frantic port game.

    Job done.

    Huge games from Trac and Maysie.

    Jibba nails those two first half sitters and it doesn't even get close. 

    Poor old BT sounded so deflated at the end. 😂

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      It seems like only yesterday that these two sides faced off against each other in the centre of the continent. It was when Melbourne was experiencing a rare period of success with five wins from its previous six matches including victories over both of last year’s grand finalists.  Well, it wasn’t yesterday but it was early last month and it remains etched clearly in the memory. The Saints were going through a slump and the predicted outcome of their encounter at TIO Traeger Park was a virtual no-brainer. A Melbourne victory and another step closer to a possible rise into finals contention. Something that was unthinkable after opening the season with five straight defeats.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

      The Demons come face to face with St. Kilda for the second time this season for their return clash at Marvel Stadium on Sunday. Who comes in and who goes out?
