Congratulations again to the Brown Dog who tried his guts out yet again in his final game.

As noted by the commentators there was one passage in front of the MCC Members when he threw himself on the ball twice and prevented the Blues gettig clear possession.

Nathan couldnt tank if he tried!!

A great guy and terrific clubman & will be missed around the place. I am sure he has influenced our young guns by showing how to do your best!

Great way to go out. Was good to be able to send all 3 guys off from the G.

    It was like he was touched by the hand of god when he kicked that goal.

    It was classic to watch & to see his face after he kicked it, you could tell that's the way he wanted to go out.

    Well done Doggie!

    Should of heard him getting interviewed on SEN after the game. Was classic. Was making jokes and picking on Billy Brownless (interviewing) because the lid is off.

    Said he went for Geelong as a boy and Dermie said, "well you can get back on the cats now browny" to which doggy replied "No way mate, im a demon through and through"

    Also had a laugh about how he is gonna become a fireman.

    Go Doggy!!!

    I think that is the single highlight of the year (along with Juice's towering mark) for me. He dashed forward earlier in the first quarter, frantically waving for the footy to be kicked to him, but I think it was Robbo didnt see him. As soon as he swooped on that half forward line, you knew it was his destiny to kick that goal. His celebrations showed what playing the game and representing the Dees meant to him, a true inspiration. Thanks for the memories, Brown Dog!

    He is the sort of bloke that footy clubs love to have.

    From his debut at Optus Oval wearing the 41 jumper with a blonde pony tail - his guts and irresponsibility for his body was evident and immediately became a favourite.

    Unfortunatley he suffered numerous soft tissue injuries throughout his career.

    Browny gave so much, his effort was second to none and also his passion for the red and blue over his time was on show each week.

    I certainly gave a loud cheer when he made his first walk around the boundary and he nearly looked embarrassed at the crowd cheering because he was just a little back pocket!

    When he kicks a goal, you know about it and when we were playing well, all players wanted to celebrate a goal and this was the passion we have been lacking!!

    Good luck Brown Dog!!

    Any chance he can un-retire. Had a fantastic second half of the year.

    Spoke to a few demon fans after the game and we all reckon he can easily go around next year. Too much dead-wood could go before him.

    • GAMEDAY: Richmond

      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.

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    • PREGAME: Richmond

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?
