Never gets old.

I save it for special wins only.

The last two victories pass the bar easily.

    Walked in the door with Lord Edward in his Melbourne jumper singing the theme song and Hawthorn-supporting wifey says to me "now, I have something really weird to tell you and I don't want you to feel weird... I think I'm going to start supporting Melbourne". ❤️💙 Music to my ears. BOG, wifey.

    In other news, our transition is getting better, but still a lot of room for improvement, and the goalkicking 🫣 But we're starting to punish teams on turnover and in the second half went from 2 goals from stoppage to Sydney's 2 goals, to then scoring at least 6 goals from stoppage.

    I think JVR will straighten us up in AJs spot in time, though AJ did some handy things. Clarry almost back to his best, still a few fumbles. Trac dynamic out of stoppage, not far off his best. Max was Max. And 20 [censored] tackles inside 50. 🤯👏🎉

    Did anyone see that huge flock of black cockatoos that flew over the ground during the third quarter. Haven’t seen black cockies in Melbourne since 2021…just saying 😂

    dees - 125.7 + 3 rushed (128.7)

    swans - 62.3 + 1 rushed (63.3)

    score is missing the swans last behind, so realistically swans xscore is probably 65-66

    Thank you

    It was pretty surreal. They came in with hundreds of seagulls. I wondered what they knew that we didn’t.

    Great day out at the G. Great win and great performance other than our goal kicking

    Big guns starting to find form, we have real rhythm in our game now.

    I liked Petty's game. selfless and determined.

    I'm not sure at all about AJ. Maybe creating chaos is enough but he has no skills at all.

    Melks is like a fine wine. Gets better with age

    Kossie very good, Clarry best game of the year, Bowey excellent and Maxy a beast as per usual

    the season is well and truly alive

    Go dees

    It always fascinates me how everyone has a different take on games.

    I didn't think Petty was that good today. Although he had a very good last quarter. He seemed to struggle marking with only one for the day. But below his knees he was good for the height he is.

    I think maybe his class today was just presenting often as a target and creating a contest so players like Kozzie and a few others could get their fill. A few crucial assists from him. I'll keep more focus on the replay because your not alone in singing Petty's praises. Cheers Bda. Enjoy the rest of this fine evening.

    Freakish sight. Our Ryan has an intense fear of birds so he was struggling, but only on the inside where it was a Hitchcock movie going on, but on the outside he didn’t miss a beat.

    Spargs passed the HIA test apparently.

    That’s good news for Spargs and it was wise of us to activate the sub almost instantly. Game would’ve been almost over by the time the test was completed.

    AJ is all effort and while low in skill, note the dropped chest mark 20 out and the fumbled handball, he assisted with 4 goals and some crunching tackles.

    Every team needs an AJ, who will crunch packs, put his body on the line and play the selfless footy that team mates love.

    "I'll have what she's having "

    Maybe just hyped up on footy. And why not.

    Maybe they flew in to watch Kozzie.

    Fantastic win, particularly special because half my family is from NSW and is the "Good game number eight" sort of Swans supporter.

    In the last five minutes Sydney looked like they had a spare man back? Seemed an odd choice when down by 50.

    We shouldve won by 20 goals. Good win. But [censored]. Very inaccurate. Cannot always be saved by class (Kozi). A byproduct of having a ruck man as forward coach in recent times - is that we convert with the accuracy of a ruck man.

    James Jordon: 10 disposals, 2 tackles, numerous stuff-ups and turnovers. I hope @Demonsone was watching! 😀

    I didn't notice him until he coughed up the ball for one of our goals in the last quarter. At least he's getting a game every week now I guess.

    Its a shame he don't have much talent. He plays a much needed role, as we have that gap to fill. Wish it were Jacko. Can see why we won one.

    Yes extraordinary, never seen so many black cockatoos flying together in Melbourne. Loved how they flew in formation, reminiscent of a WWII bomber squadron, straight through the hundreds of seagulls circling and sent them flapping off in a panic. There is something surreal about the way they fly in slow motion.

    Very jumpy. A bit shell shocked. Don't miss Jordon. He could be fitter.

    So much to like about that but I want to highlight AJ. He causes chaos up front, so much of which results in goals. We counted 5 today.

    Go Dess

    The best 1 kick 5 handball game I can remember.

    Massive compliment for Bowey. Cox used Jordon to tag Bowey, at least in the first half. Jordon has played on some of the best this year.

    • PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      With both sides precariously positioned ahead of the run home to the finals, only one team involved in Sunday’s clash at the Adelaide Oval between the Power and the Demons will remain a contender when it’s over.  On current form, that one team has to be Melbourne which narrowly missed out on defeating the competition’s power house Collingwood on King's Birthday and also recently overpowered both 2024 Grand Finalists. Conversely, Port Adelaide snapped out of a four-game losing streak with a win against the Giants in Canberra. Although they will be rejuvenated following that victory, their performances during that run of losses were sub par and resulted in some embarrassing blow out defeats.

    • 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.
