Made a BIG BIG statement today. It's significant that injured players were flown up to keep the unit together.

And that photo at the end, they are really saying something about loyalty to one another.

And sticking it up hacks like Damien Barrett.

Viney as good as gone after hearing that comment. Sorry to say, but it’s bleeding obvious after that. He could he playing the contract hold off game, but that answer he gave Lynch was deafening in a pessimistic way. 

Did you watch the game? If you are leaving, you are not playing like that.

I’m not sure about that comment from Viney

What'd he say?

 

After the ridiculous feeding frenzy that was the media/commentary on our club, THAT is what leadership looks like. Brutal, tough, inspiring, uncompromising. I 'dips me lid' to Viney, ANB, Gawn, Lever for showing commitment and pride to our jumper and club. 

Even more so, I am loving the spirit and grunt shown by our large group of your fellas. Turner, Tholstrup, McVee etc... A real strong group of younger players reminding me of early days under Neal Daniher.

But it was against a very, very disinterested Gold Coast.

Gawn spoke wonderfully yet again. Great captain and leader. To me today was a performance of united group, no fractures.
 

Can’t say how I feel about Trac though. Can’t see him with the team in the rooms. Oliver is there, Spargs is there.

Where are you Trac?

 

May is home too. I don’t know that we need to read too much into it. 
But really good to see Clarry there! 


How does that make you feel Velcro supporters who come on here and profess to have inside knowledge of BAD CULTURE???? You will never be able to celebrate a win like we will!

Good to see Clarry up there with them

To me, Clarry is a bit like Shane Warne in that he just loves playing with his good mates and thrives the most when he's happy around them

Dwayne is cringe but his burnt toast analogy is spot on IMO. I reckon there’s a huge chance we can rise up the ladder again in 2025.

One thing that hasn’t been mentioned enough is us pioneering giving ANB a game after a public trade request. I thought he was great, so I wonder if it will catch on?

No Jefferson yet but Turner could kick 40+ next year. He can seriously play. 

JV as dominant as I can ever remember him being. 

Melksham should definitely play one more.  
 

The guy in the ARC should be fired on the spot and never work for the AFL again. Completely gutless and sadly predictable. When was the last time one of them went our way?

That is how a proper football club responds.

Asked you’re not going anywhere are you?

Said “nah” but then said “we will finish out the year and see what happens”. 
Was odd.

Take that media!

Take that squirmy Dermy.  The hope that they could still get up when they were 6 goals down deep in the fourth… priceless

Are you kidding bro?
 

If I’m leaving, I’m playing better and going hard to use that as leverage to show clubs this is what I’m worth. You want me? You pay up. 
 

Why would you play worse and risk other clubs cooling off?

Vines has never been a great speaker and is far from diplomatic. I have zero concerns about Viney staying

Is May in the leadership group though?

Are you joking? Initial response was an enthusiastic YEAH. Followed by a vague remark that read to me as “holy [censored]. My manager will be [censored] off my saying that in contract talks”.

Sorry, I got that the wrong way around.  He was asked "you're not going anywhere?" and replied Nah enthusiastically.    Some people seem deermined to read the worst into everything.

Good to see we are finding form before September

Because it goes both ways, if I get injured I’m getting nothing. 1 game is not jacking up your value, but it can certainly put a quick end to all talks.

I hate to say it but if we won just two of those four games we lost by less than a goal..ie lions....Port...Gws... Carlton....

We would be playing finals again.

Throw in some shocking injuries and it explains quite a bit.

I just love these pessimistic posters, following a massive win like that. TBH you must have a miserable life.


The 4 points and percentage hurts but hopefully the Suns can give the Tigers a good belting next week. 

Lots of drama still to come but a nice reminder to the players of what they can do when they’re physically up for the contest and the opposition are witches hats.

May's reaction

Great win by the club against so much criticism.

Kozzie well down.

No May.

No Oliver.

No Tracca.

Highest score for the year.

Go figure.

Viney best game of the year.

Langers not far off.

Please stay Anb. Despite a very slow start, he stormed home. 

Disco could be our future Coleman.

Self-reflecting on the game he played, the things he did, the space he made, the attack on the ball that he engineered, Disco has much to be proud of, building confidence and initial knowledge of just what a good forward he actually is proving to be. Well done, lad.

  • 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?
