Me too. I've been triggered by the negativity. I enjoyed the game and enjoyed getting the win. My expectations seem to be different to many others. I understand that people use this place to vent and there is a lot of things not great right now.

Coming on here to discuss the win hasn't been a good use of my time.

Confirmed by lab as 70m by Brad Johnson post game review who was ropable and has been banging on about these for a month or more.

Staggering.

You can forgive 5m, but that was truly unforgivable.

That is a 40% over-estimation of the distance. 40%!  There are literally two arcs drawn on the turf marking the required distance that the umpires could look to for reference. It is inexcusable. Good on Brad Johnson for railing on this.

Clarry’s form is a huge concern....  He was stiff to give away the first 80m penalty in the history of the game it must be said. 

Believe it was 2 x 50m, the second one for giving lip to the umpire.

there wasn't.  they were just spirited and going for the kill. reminded me of when we beat Hawthorn in 2016. They were top of the ladder, coming off 3 flags, won like 10 games in a row up to that game, and we steamrolled them in the last. Sounded like we had 90k there that day.

Unforgettable day. I was there that day at giving it hard to the Hawks supporters. They gave it back too. But THAT win on THAT day by the our beloved Dees against the Hawks was ecstatically cathartic. Our supporters got to watch loser Hawks  supporters leave early. IT was awesome. I began to believe we were on the right track after that game...

I’m with you, Dub. The escalating vitriol is stifling, and is only getting worse. It’s depressing and it’s demoralising. We have a win following three consecutive losses but you wouldn’t know it. The abrasive, belligerent bastards grind you down by attrition. And these are supposedly Demons fans 🙄

Tholstrup good early before fading

Rivers needs to be into the midfield permanently

His evasion of 3 opponents and then breaking free to effect THAT running goal was sublime.

It’s embarrassing being in the 8 right now. 

No it isn't!

It's good. I like it!

An ugly win that got us back in the 8 is something I'm celebrating right now. 

Look out Bris Vegas. Here we come!

GO DEES!

We have nothing to fear but fear itself

Wat the actual f@-k is wrong with some of you on here 😭

Right? I’m convinced some people are disappointed and even angry that we won because they won’t get to enjoy another week of relentlessly bagging our club and calling for Goody’s head. The win spoiled their party.

For one example, someone posted “worst possible result.” WTAF? Worse than a loss? Shouldn’t a loss be the worst possible result? [censored] unbelievable 😑

I did the exact same thing. The moment the siren went I was gone.

I stayed. I sang.

I enjoyed the 3 point win against Norf. It was tremendously relieving.

I sang the song loud. I hoisted my scarf above my head when doing so. As loud as I could, I yelled "whadda we sing" and also "woo hoo" with gusto when "The Grand Old Flag" was blasted over the loudspeakers.

Norf.

A bogey team of ours for so many years. Not any more. But they almost beat us tonight! Didn't they beat us 17 times in a row? Now we've beaten them 6 or 7 times in a row?

Come on Dees! Each week is a new opportunity.

We're gonna give the Lions Hell!

Go Dees!

I think they are saying at least if they came over the top of us we’d be looking at getting rid of a coach who has obviously lost the players 

So, losing this match would’ve been fine because it would mean we’re one step closer to “getting rid of” our coach? Wowww. That’s a new low.

Ahh ... No it's not.

And it aint good.

There is NO reason for ever preferring a loss over a win. And that’s exactly what “worst possible result” (after a win) means. 

Is there any chance Oliver is able to step up in tracs absence, he’s not even playing at the level of an average midfielder. I question why we are even continuing to play him, surely it’s not good for the team moral to have a player who isn’t able to contribute at the level needed.

Incoming 90 points loos against Brisbane. 

I wish there was some hope for the team but not really, I will still torture myself and watch the game because I will sink with this ship.

Well you can only hope, huh.

Of course you’ll still torture yourself and sink with this ship… why wouldn’t you? You’re having a ball, you’re positively revelling in it.

Yes ... A little extreme.
But does it really matter what some unknown on the internet posts.
Everyone is allowed an opinion.
Whether you agree with it or not.

I didn’t say anyone wasn’t entitled to an opinion. But I’d be interested in hearing the poster explain how a win was the worst possible result. 🤷‍♀️

  • NON-MFC: Round 05

    Gather Round is here, kicking off with a Thursday night blockbuster as Adelaide faces Geelong. The Crows will be out for redemption after a controversial loss last week. Saturday starts with the Magpies taking on the Swans. Collingwood will be eager to cement their spot in the top eight, while Sydney is hot on their heels. In the Barossa Valley, two rising sides go head-to-head in a fascinating battle to prove they're the real deal. Later, Carlton and West Coast face off at Adelaide Oval, both desperate to notch their first win of the season. The action then shifts to Norwood, where the undefeated Lions will aim to keep their streak alive against the Bulldogs. Sunday’s games begin in the Barossa with Richmond up against Fremantle. In Norwood, the Saints will be looking to take a scalp when they come up against the Giants. The round concludes with a fiery rematch of last year's semi-final, as the Hawks seek revenge for their narrow loss to Port Adelaide. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

  • CASEY: Geelong

    There was a time in the second quarter of the game at the Cattery on Friday afternoon when the Casey Demons threatened to take the game apart against the Cats. The Demons had been well on top early but were struggling to convert their ascendancy over the ground until Tom Fullarton’s burst of three goals in the space of eight minutes on the way to a five goal haul and his best game for the club since arriving from Brisbane at the end of 2023. He was leading, marking and otherwise giving his opponents a merry dance as Casey grabbed a three goal lead in the blink of an eye. Fullarton has now kicked ten goals in Casey’s three matches and, with Melbourne’s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next week’s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forward’s efforts - he finished with 19 disposals and eight marks and had four hit outs as back up to Will Verrall in the second half - it wasn’t enough as Geelong reigned in the lead through persistent attacks and eventually clawed their way to the lead early in the last and held it till they achieved the end aim of victory.

  • REPORT: Geelong

    I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

  • PREGAME: Essendon

    Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

  • 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?
