Loved our tackling tonight. We tackled with intent. It was like Vines gave everyone a pre-game blood transfusion.

    Just 2% behind GWS who were unbackable for the flag last week.  

    Yep the talk about Melbourne after beating Richmond by 43 points, was a disgrace by the media and many posters on demonland, king. And Whiteley couldn't put us in the top five in their rankings. If either put us in the top 4 raking I will spew up

    BTW JvR held 3 marks, one grab, no chest involved, very promising, was getting really worried he had shot his confidence on taking the ball. Super competitive in the ruck too despite being undersized.

    He is always competitive at the ruck, one of the reasons we need him starting week in and week out. No one else can play second ruck at the moment.

    zero respect. 

    You were off because….?

    Go on Scott, you were explaining why you were off. 
     

    Were there any external variables outside of your own team that contributed to you being ‘off’? 
     

    Another team maybe? Playing against you? On the ground? Applying loads of pressure?

    Maybe that, just a little tiny bit, might, have contributed? Maybe?

    I was at the game tonight, flew down with some mates (Geelong supporters) I potted TMAC a couple of weeks ago and he was outstanding tonight! I take back everything I said about him.  We were right behind Frittas dribble goal and I apologise to no one after the carrying on I displayed to my mates and every one in the area.  Clarry looked so disinterested in the first qtr but geez he got going late in the game! [censored] you Geelong!

    Whenever Max marks inside 50 he should take the BBB run up get outside 50 run the big arc and kick from there, hardly ever misses. From closer in however......

    And how good is it that we don't have to play at that joke of a ground in Geewrong this season? I still have nightmares about last year's game there - wet, freezing cold and overrun in the last quarter. So sweet to turn the tables tonight.

    Bud, we were absolutely putrid against the Tigers. Tonight though much different. But the talk of the town this week will be all about Collingwood back in the hunt.

    Just on Viney he looked dead early in the 2nd and within 10 seconds was up and running it off. He is not human.

    Back six won us the game.

    And the tackles.

    Mids were beaten apart from Max who lifted after a massive knee to the head which went unnoticed by the umpires.

    Unbelievable win. Devastated I couldn’t be there. 

    It’s been noted but Goodwin got it spot on tonight. The control of the ball and the defence of the corridor threw their ball movement right off. 

    When we bring that level of pressure (13 tackles inside 50 to 2), and set up that well defensively, even the best sides struggle to score against us. And xScore shows that our misses were far more diabolical than theirs, so we should have been further in front for most of the game. 

    Petty reminded us why he’s so talented. That sort of marking changes us. Thought Sparrow played much better, as did Viney.

    And if Windsor isn’t AA this week, we should all riot.

    We’re going to be up against it next week on a 5 day break after that game but even if we’d lost, we are clearly in the flag race this year. Get around us, if you’re not already.

    Mids were beaten?

    We won CPs by 3 and clearances by 1. Their major ball winners were half backs (Holmes and Z Guthrie).

    Scott being typical Scott. A competitive animal who lacks grace and humility. Rarely acknowledges the opposition. Nothing will change.

    Does anyone have a contact at the club in the membership department?

    For the 3rd home game in a row I had to move people out of our Reserved Seats, and we sat surrounded by Geelong supporters who just wandered in. The MCG staff don’t give a [censored]. I’m over it. 

    Yeah. We had randoms sitting in front and behind us all night in N53. Dees and Cats supporters. They would sit for a quarter and then be replaced by other randoms.

    Funny looking at this thread compared to 5 or 6 years ago when we were losing games by a couple goals. It would 20 pages by now. Strange how winning changes things.

    • PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      With both sides precariously positioned ahead of the run home to the finals, only one team involved in Sunday’s clash at the Adelaide Oval between the Power and the Demons will remain a contender when it’s over.  On current form, that one team has to be Melbourne which narrowly missed out on defeating the competition’s power house Collingwood on King's Birthday and also recently overpowered both 2024 Grand Finalists. Conversely, Port Adelaide snapped out of a four-game losing streak with a win against the Giants in Canberra. Although they will be rejuvenated following that victory, their performances during that run of losses were sub par and resulted in some embarrassing blow out defeats.

      Round 14 is upon us and there's plenty at stake across the rest of the competition. As Melbourne heads to Adelaide, it's time to turn our attention to the other matches of the Round. Which teams are you tipping this week? And which results would be most favourable for the Demons’ finals tilt?

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

    • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Collingwood

      Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.
