The dees are coming 🙌

The best part of the last few weeks has been the emergence of some of our youngsters. 

Oh and by the way Essendrug are a pack of front running soft buddies who couldn't run through wet lettuce.

I watched tonight, just to enjoy watching young players developing.

The win was a bonus, and we get to see the future!

 

Good kicking is good football. Liked (most of) the set shots.

Post some more please. We could do with less mindless negativity on here.

Some of the best posters here are the ones who never post..


People if you wat a good laugh then go over to bomberblitz and read the review vs dees. They aare 100% worse than us after a loss.

Which were mainly off the back off JVR workhorse performance and our mids working around him.

Petty was absolutely horrendous tonight. Even Goody acknowledged that by throwing JVR into the ruck into the second quarter that turned the game for us. Our own senior coach is pretty much admitting that Petty was crud in the ruck.

But of course you think his performance was justified because why wouldn't you..

In the centre square, he was ordinary as a ruck, particularly in the first half... as I acknowledged in my first post. 

I'm watching the replay now and his follow up work around the ground is fine.

So we beat Essendon… meh.

🥱

OK I'm in london & just saw the scores. Oh my god I'm so happy.

How did we win this?

How did we go in the ruck?

Maybe we need to trust goody and his plans.

Go dees. What a weekend,  pies lose and so do the bummers

Carlton lost as well 😍

Plenty of nuffies around.  This is your post after last year's finals loss to Carlton.

 ...If McDonald ever pulls on a dees jumper again I'll eat my fist...

How's that typing with one hand working out for you?

 

Touche

Credit where credit is due, he's reinvented himself.

Ironically it's McDonald keeping Petty out of d50.

I was all for the Petty ruck situation but he completely lost me after the first quarter. 

Even Goody said that initially the plan wasn't to have JVR rucking as much as he did tonight but unfortunately once he matched Draper in the ruck contests that took away his/our forward strength up forward.

Thanks god for Turner, Melksham and Fritsch.

His name was Rob. I heard him too. King of the nuffies. Not many supporter groups would call up and whinge about a player after a great win. Probably one of those MCC supporters that yells kick it every seconds. No feel for the game at all.

That's not to say I'm not excited about Jefferson and I think he'll play this year.

"Man up!"

"Just kick the bloody thing!"

Demon Spirit is back in the last month. 
The kids have brought energy and it’s been infectious. 

We were loud in the stands tonight I thought.

By the way, Ben McKay is a bloody good defender for them!

He just kept clunking them and I think that's where the JVR match up would have kept him at bay had he had the luxury to play majority of his time up forward.

Good recruit for them.

Jade Gresham on the other hand.... 🥴

I'll take our Demon spirit over being high off the jet fumes over the Hangar any day.

Well, we're happy that your kid's going to get fed. At least for a week.

Langdon was huge tonight. A cool 30 touches and 17.4km under the belt

100% TOG. The man is superhuman. 
 

By the way, Petty returning from a horrible foot injury with 0 pre season and hamstring awareness a week ago, and is expected to ruck against a really good solid ruckman. 
The pile on is insane. 
 

Roo was always going to do better given he trained to do backup rucking all pre season under Gawn while Petty was riding a scooter with a foot in a moonboot. 


SNewport34. I hope your happy I don’t have a voice

There's a new energy within the club. Melbourne needed some renewal but I really didn't think our new lads could play at this level. Wrong. I do worry about a long season for young players. But, to be fair to Goody, he's held Disco, Koltyn and AMW back and it may work to our advantage now.

  • 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.

    It's Game Day and the Demons face a monumental task as they take on the top-of-the-table Magpies in one of the biggest games on the Dees calendar: the King's Birthday Big Freeze MND match. Can the Demons defy the odds and claim a massive scalp to keep their finals hopes alive?
