After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.

    Shocking last 10 minutes, the whole review should be about that.

    Mentally went to sleep, unacceptable.

    When Gawn retires we are proper****ed.

    Great win dees.

    Put the que in the rack late, but turned it on when they needed to.

    Looking forward to the game at Optus next week

    Arrogant coaching by Goodwin for taking Gawn off.

    Awful finish and now only few positives to come out after what was heading towards a really strong win.

    Meh.

    Our forward line remains an issue but our midfield looked much better in that second half.

    Gawn and Bowey were awesome tonight.

    Not a great first half, in great part because we were getting very little from Trac, Clarry and Kozzie. No surprise that things turned with a big second half from each of them. Maxy was huge.

    Disappointing way to end the game, some useful % wasted.

    Anyway, happy for the win, we continue to build some momentum. Over to the west to make amends for a bad loss last year!!!

    Will take the win of course but jesus that last quarter was frustrating. We really need to learn how to run out games properly if we want to have a decent number of wins.

    As far as individual highlights go, Gawn reminded everyone of how much of a champion he is and Bowey has officially won me over.

    Got the job done. Max was immense in the 3rd. Great signs from so many when the game was there to be won. Couldn't give a toss about the last 10 mins. Rather preserve max & may - marathon not sprint & all that.

    Good to get the win but our last quarter was PATHETIC.

    We need to fix this otherwise the better sides will roll us.

    Fritta is still a selfish player and should be better.

    Yep. Gawn is the GOAT for mine. The amount of wins he generates all over the ground has saved us for years. He papers over A LOT of cracks.

    We worked bloody hard to win the game

    Who cares if we took the foot off the pedal and rested our 33yo workhorse star

    We still won the game

    It’s OK to be happy guys

    6 goal swing there in the last QTR. We gifted them at least 3 goals and we missed at least 3.

    Yep, that last one Spargo all alone at goal square. Selfishness all around.

    Habits matter, % matters and we let a bad habit creep in and we lost valuable %.

    Happy we won of course, but as the players and coaches always say every moment matters.

    Top 5 worst games of AFL footy I’ve ever seen. From a Dees perspective, we’re very very ordinary of course, but without the best ruckman the game’s ever seen, I think we might be the worst team in the league. At the moment. Things can improve no doubt. And they will. Hopefully. 71,000 at the G, and they all should feel robbed.

      It's Game Day and the Demons return to the MCG to face the Tigers in their annual Blockbuster on ANZAC Eve for the 10th time. The Dees will be desperate to reignite their stuttering 2025 campaign and claim just their second win of the season. Can the Demons dig deep and find that ANZAC Spirit to snatch back to back wins?

    • PREVIEW: Richmond

      A few years ago, the Melbourne Football Club produced a documentary about the decade in which it rose from its dystopic purgatory of regular thrashings to the euphoria of a premiership victory. That entire period could have been compressed in a fast motion version of the 2025 season to date as the Demons went from embarrassing basket case to glorious winner in an unexpected victory over the Dockers last Saturday. They transformed in a single week from a team that put in a pedestrian effort of predictably kicking the ball long down the line into attack that made a very ordinary Bombers outfit look like worldbeaters into a slick, fast moving side with urgency and a willingness to handball and create play with shorter kicks and by changing angles to generate an element of chaos that yielded six goals in each of the opening quarters against Freo.
