That was a gutsy win. With 10 minutes to go, I didn’t think we could hang on. You could see every player was spent. 
But they did it

    Great game by Trac. He is truly something special.

    Huge kudos to Sparrow, who had a very good game tonight and really looks to have taken his game to another level this year.

    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.

    Actually yeah @Chook

    Positives: no fresh injuries and another interstate win.

    Negatives: goalkicking accuracy (Fritsch apart) a bit below par and last-quarter fadeout.

    Special award: Steven May for playing through the pain. We could have lost without him.

    Pleasing prospects:

    * Chandler rapidly proving we were right to let Bedford go instead of him. 

    * McVee another young gun looking the part.

    * Windsor handling a steep learning curve with aplomb.

    * TMac showing he still has fuel in the tank.

    Just got out of Elvis Costello at the Palais (superb concert by the way) and checked the scores for the first time.

    I honestly couldn't care about the inaccurate score line, two wins in a week in hostile territory is a terrific achievement that the media will no doubt fail to bring attention to over the coming week.

    Great to see Fritta amongst the goals. Looks set for another 50+ year.

    Looking forward to seeing McVee's highlights. Sounds like he was superb.

    A great team effort in my opinion. 
    not every player can get 20 touches, 

    play your part and only a few stuff ups 

     

    I only saw a couple and they were early. 
     

    easier to pick the average players rather than the best.  It is a GREAT time to follow the mighty DEMONS

    That was a very 'Melbourne Season 2023' type game.  

    Bit of an ugly mess, but effective D all over the ground.

     

    We wanted it ugly, didn't want to get into a shootout with the Camry Crows. During the week the stat was bandied about when Adelaide score less than 100 they are 3-15 or something like that. We wanted a scrap, especially in the last quarter. Petty nails a couple of those set shots and Billings one or two of his chances and it wouldn't have been close.

    Superb coaching yet again 👏👏👏

    I thought Billings played well. If he kicked straight he could have had 3 goals.

    I thought he was very poor and should've been subbed off for Taj during the 3rd quarter. I understand why they subbed Brown off but Billings was bad, he missed his chances but worse was his tackling, let multiple tackles slip which allowed the Crows to attack when they should've been held up or turned over.

    Poor old Matthew Nicks sounded bereft in his presser and they're only four games into their season.

    Probably realises he has a pretty poor team to coach 

    Apart from a few good players they drop off very quickly

    Chandler and Kozzie 7 tackles each.

    JvR with 5 and Petty 3. Some hard work by our forwards.

    His busted hand is forcing him to kick more too, which isn't a bad thing.

    Can't wait to see Tholstrup in the 1s as well. I have a feeling he'll be another JT special.

    The Kolt could come in for Koz.

    Why didn't they talk about or even replay the clear push on Rivers by Dawson?

    It was a very professional win, so impressed with this side. Our senior players lead by example, our young players are exceptional. Max, May, Petracca all huge. Windsor, Howes, McVee, Sparrow, JVR, Koz so composed.

    Agree, except Koz not composed.  
    The stupid likely suspension aside, he also could easily have had Petty’s mark reversed for a silly meaningless late bump.

    The only real negative for tonight is  Kozzie’s likely suspension. We really need him next week. Not a lot in it, but enough in today’s game and completely avoidable and unnecessary. 

    Leadership need to have a long hard lack to him.   Could cost us a big game later in the season if he  continues this.   He is NOT a thug but let’s himself and the team down.

    Or he missed three very gettable goals which puts the pressure back on us. A 3-4 goal buffer instead of a 6-7 goal buffer.

    What stood out most though is Melbourne pride themselves on contest and defence. Billings provides none of that. His kicking and ball use against Hawthorn was good. They gave him space. In tight contested games like Port and this one, he doesn't want to know about it which is very un-Melbourne like.

    • PREVIEW: Geelong

      "It's officially time for some alarm bells. I'm concerned about the lack of impact from their best players." This comment about one of the teams contesting this Friday night’s game came earlier in the week from a so-called expert radio commentator by the name of Kane Cornes. He wasn’t referring to the Melbourne Football Club but rather, this week’s home side, Geelong.The Cats are purring along with 1 win and 2 defeats and a percentage of 126.2 (courtesy of a big win at GMHBA Stadium in Round 1 vs Fremantle) which is one win more than Melbourne and double the percentage so I guess that, in the case of the Demons, its not just alarm bells, but distress signals. But don’t rely on me. Listen to Cornes who said this week about Melbourne:- “They can’t run. If you can’t run at speed and get out of the contest then you’re in trouble.

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit.
      Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      For a brief period of time in the early afternoon of yesterday, the Casey Demons occupied top place on the Smithy’s VFL table. This was only made possible by virtue of the fact that the team was the only one in this crazy competition to have played twice and it’s 1½ wins gave it an unassailable lead on the other 20 teams, some of who had yet to play a game.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      In my all-time nightmare game, the team is so ill-disciplined that it concedes its first two goals with the courtesy of not one, but two, fifty metre penalties while opening its own scoring with four behinds in a row and losing a talented youngster with good decision-making skills and a lethal left foot kick, subbed off in the first quarter with what looks like a bad knee injury.
