So the gloom and doom has lifted we played so well and won.Will give Maynard and his dog headed mates a belting next week.God i wish i could be there,just think a couple of the close losses were wins we would be nicely in the 8 with a beat up team makes the season understandable

    Oliver, Trac, May out and Kossie quiet. Pre game would have said 5-10 goal loss, great effort from the Demons who stood up!

    Jack Viney take a BOW!

    Turner, JVR and Petty make a statement for 2025 forward line!

    It was a a grand day!

    Beat those filthy scum next week, hopefully with someone flattening Maynard and would be the perfect end to the season!

    Go Demons!

    Replayed the Viney interview, probably overanalysing like everyone else, but I have a slightly different take.

    It was reported by Riley Beveridge this week that Jack is in the midst of negotiating a deal for beyond 2025. Generally when those things are in the works players can be a bit more non-committal as they want to keep the managers happy as they push for the best deal. Jack is not always the sharpest of speakers or interviewees, and I felt he answered with his initial automatic thoughts (paraphrasing):

    Lynch: "You're not going anywhere next year?"

    Viney: "Nah!" Then realizes he's meant to keep them guessing somewhat to help the contract talks "We'll wait til the end of the year and see how that all pans out".

    I'm not too worried after that exchange.

    Yeah, that was one of my takes too.

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

    The whole commentary was (as always) spoilt by Dermy! I wish he’d just shut up.                                   I’m not sure if I read it on this site or elsewhere, but someone said -  ask Dermy the time and he’ll tell you how to build a clock!

    How good was that! Very proud of the boys today. Vines and Max immense and lots of nice cameos too. We wiped the floor with them it has to be said.

    Dermie hates Melbourne so great to stick it up him!

    Stolen from a post on Twitter, but this a great pick up.

    “Trac spent months in Queensland then conveniently avoided this away trip when so many of the injured players travelled, and our twos were up here too. Today was a very ‘whole club’ vibe. None of this is reflecting very well on him. This is a direction, and he’s not in on it.”

    I agree completely with this. The more this plays out the more I'm unimpressed with Trac and whoever leaked to the media.

    A lot to like today!, also Billings, Hore, Kolt AND Nibbler were very good

    Nibbler is going to be a big loss ... especially after losing Brayshaw. Heart and soul players and onfield leaders both.

    Even if both Clarry and Trac get back to their best, some big shoes to fill.

    Hard to read anything into that Viney comment.

    Not overly concerned. Currently in contract negotiations with the Demons so I can't imagine he'd say anything publicly which may impact talks.

    Spot on. He will have been briefed by his manager. Don't look too keen.

    I suspect medical advice would be that he still should not fly

    Hmmm. Didn’t seem to apply when he flew up to Noosa did it.

    To be fair, he might have thought that if he went he would be a distraction

    Great pick up.  Poor Jack - just a bit of confusion there.

    or he might have medical appointments.  Too much reading of tea leaves on here.

    True on Nibbler, but why can't Rivers, Turner, Tholstrup, Windsor etc.   be the next to take over that mantle.

    A bit of kudos here to Dwayne.  Last 1/4 he emphasised several times that next season with Oliver and Trac back in  full health  and JVR having his break out seasonwhy can't the Dees challenge again quickly.

    The way the team got around Judd after his first goal was indicative of the great things about our team. 

    Even more impressive was when they got around Pickett who was obviously feeling out of sorts and slightly embarrassed about his performance in the first three quarters.

    • 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?

    • POSTGAME: Geelong

      The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.
