    It's no surprise that the cohort of foul weather "supporters" who are always front and centre when things aren't going well are conspicuously absent from this thread.

    I thought that the Eagles had a crack in the first half, moved the ball well at times but we always had their measure. 10 goal third quarter showed some real class in patches and shut them out of the game. We stayed alert and continued to build the lead in the last.

    Jack Viney 20 contested tells his story today and Clayton Oliver looked like Clarry, Max was great as was Salo and how tough is Rivers still took a lazy 10 marks. Our kids all played well and a great debut for Jai Culley, great to see Troy Simmonds hand him his guernsey today. 83 point winners are grinner’s. Great comeback Dees. kozzi had 10 score involvements but looked off today his kicking was a bit iffy.

    Culley is a good size.

    Salem 2 stupid 50m penalties from a senior player was a disgrace

    2g5b to start was ordinary before some accurate scoring later.

    Max another AA surely

    Culley, great debut

    Viney a bulldozer

    Langford a star of the future.

    But ..... [censored] me ..... umpiring and rules !!! I just don't have a clue.

    Apart from a missed call to Viney which was genuinely high, I thought it was an almost faultless performance by the umps.

    Probably a very easy match to umpire with very little pressure from over the fence and one side often with plenty of space, however, they still have to execute and I thought they got every push in the back correct.

    For the last few years, it hasn’t been worth taking front position when you could clearly get pushed in the back and out of the contest and bozo commentators would say “what a wonderful job he did to protect the space.”

    What a lot of bull….anyone with half a brain is not crowing over this win …especially after last week’s capitulation and about 35% win loss ratio for the Season .A win against an under manned ( just lost their Star player ) Wooden Spooner hardly playing at WAFL / VFL level , let alone that of a serious AFL team…better than a loss but other than that largely a meaningless win…if your happy to crow about such a win good on you but you are obviously easily satisfied

    Well he obviously believes that the win has some worth or meaning as he used it to have a dig at what he calls so called “supporters “ , by which I assume he means the clear majority of supporters and members who are justifiably critical of and concerned at their team’s dismal performance this Season

    They reintroduced hands in the back, and decided to abolish holding the ball.

    Just another week of Russian roulette umpiring.

    WCE are 1 and 19. On pure wins this is one of the worst wooden-spooners. Many teams would have thrashed them today. While our game wasn't incredible at least we won easily.

    Yeah, but who did they beat???

    Did y’all see Jai after kicking his first goal? He ran in jubilation, passionately pulled at his jumper and screamed come on to the crowd. And it was real. His blood runs red and blue.

    Max’s goal kick : he decided to try something new and do a banana kick (is that the right word?)

    The crowd sighed , not confident that he could kick a goal.

    A goal!

    Good thinking Captain.

    Still better than Kellie Underwood, and her horrible commentating, including misnaming players consistently.

    • Thank You Simon Goodwin

      As Demon fans, we’ve ridden a rollercoaster of emotions over the decades; the heartbreaks, the near misses, the wooden spoons, and the endless waiting. But through it all, we clung to hope. And then came Simon Goodwin. Before he ever wore red and blue, he was a champion in his own right. A five-time All-Australian, two-time Best and Fairest, and two-time premiership hero and Captain with Adelaide, Simon Goodwin was always destined to lead. When he transitioned from the field to the coach's box, first as an assistant at Essendon, he began shaping a new legacy.

    • PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

      Long ago and far away, the Melbourne Football Club replaced its coach in difficult circumstances after the team suffered a devastating loss. In the aftermath, I penned the following words: “Then came the politics, the intrigue, the axing, the sound of the football world laughing at a club, the circling of the media vultures, the reinvention of history, the anger, the irony, the pathos, the hurt on the face of the president, the dignified departure of the coach, and the determination of the newly appointed caretaker.” Today, we’re back in the same place although one difference here is that the coach who was terminated this time is Simon Goodwin, the man who four years ago

    • REPORT: West Coast

      The Charles Dickens novel, A Tale of Two Cities, opens with, “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, …”  This phrase highlights many of the significant challenges that humanity encounters in life, ranging from experiencing remarkable highs to living in times of despair. This is a concept that should resonate with all supporters of the Melbourne Football Club this morning as they reflect on its comprehensive 83-point victory over the struggling West Coast Eagles at Marvel Stadium. The outcome proved beyond doubt that they are the worst of clubs and that we are the best of the worst.

    • PREGAME: Western Bulldogs

      With only 3 games to go, all against Top 8 fancies, the Demons face a daunting task as they return to the MCG when they play the Western Bulldogs. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons return to town fresh off a thumping win over the back-to-back wooden spooners, the West Coast Eagles, played in front of a sparse crowd at Marvel Stadium, the same venue that hosted last week's heartbreaking loss.
