The Melbourne Demons 'Greatest Goals' series rolls on with its FIFTH and BIGGEST instalment to date! With over 100 goals included, there's no shortage of Demon talent here!

Some highlights in this edition include

• David Neitz bowling over Luke McCabe

• Jayden Hunt's legendary N.T torpedo

• Jack Watts Queen's Birthday epic

• Jordan Lewis' near identical goals in his 300th game

• Jeff White's sealer against the Dogs in '05

• Bayley Fritsch's boundary dribbler against the Cats last season.

Only one part of the series remains! Rest assured, there's still plenty of stunning six pointers I have in prepared (including all 21 goals from the 2021 Grand Final!) If there are any goals I've overlooked over the first five instalments of this series, feel free to let me know! If they're not already planned for 'Volume 6', I'll be sure to include them in the COMPLETE edition coming later this year!

Thank you for this great work. I have really enjoyed watching the 4th, and I am looking forward to watching the 5th episode.

JvR’s first milestone… 50 games. We made this week’s banner as well as next week’s (vs Adelaide) two weeks ago and left a space across the top of both lest he doesn’t line up this weekend. We have a printed strip acknowledging his 50th which will be stuck down prior to the match.

It’s Kolt’s 20th birthday on Saturday (gameday) and hopefully he’s named in one of the sides (VFL if not AFL) because we have some Happy Birthday Kolt posters printed, and inflated “20” balloons. We don’t do the birthday thing with every player but we have a couple of cheer squad gals who’re massive Kolt fans and this is their doing 🤗 If he doesn’t play on Saturday we’ll keep the posters for next year and get an inflatable “1” to replace the “0”

— Ghosty… bringing you the MFC news that matters

😜

Thank you Ghostwriter for all the great news and information you supply.

I’ll be at this match cheering the Casey boys on. Straight from the airport to the ground, but will miss the first quarter since it’s such an early start time. The best part of this is that I get to see two wins for the price of one! 😉

Enjoy the game, and please wear your lucky socks.

For the information of everyone it is the AFL who decided that teams are announced on Sunday for Monday games. The same happened on Easter Monday when the Hawthorn and Geelong teams were announced on Sunday. If I remember correctly the same happened last year when the teams were announced on Sunday.

Where are on the ladder?

I can’t find the ladder.

There is a vfl app that gives all the scores live, ladder, and enables you to watch vfl games.

What a great win. A very enjoyable walk home. A great team effort.

I am really looking forward to this game. A beautiful day for my walk to the Mcg. Very handy living in Richmond. I will go to the Hassett Room for couple of beers before the game, and then go to my reserved seat.

Volume 4 of 'The Greatest Goals' is finally upon us!

Some highlights include

• David Schwarz kicking three brilliant goals in a quarter against the Swans

• Max Gawn's Prelim masterclass

• Weird Al Jakovich giving his brother a big smooch on the cheek

• Adem Yze defying all mathematical logic against Freo in 2007

• TWO Jack Watts matchwinners

• "THE WIZARD IS IN TOWN!!!"

• TMac's Perth Matchwinner!

As I look at my excel spreadsheet featuring over 550+ goals from over 150+ different players, trust me when I say there is still A LOT of incredible goals still yet to featured, so stay tuned for more over the next month or two!

There are two more instalments to come which will be followed by a 'complete edit' featuring all 550+ goals (plus some new ones that I've found 😈).

Happy viewing!

Well done on producing such great videos.

I attended the training session, but not for the free coffee, because I do not drink coffee. I had the great pleasure of talking to my good friend Ghostwriter. I also congratulated Trac on his 200th game. Good to see some goal kicking practice including Choco showing them how to kick.

What a great win. What a great leader Max Gawn is. Lindsay and Langford showed great compose for been very young and inexperienced. A great coaching performance by Goody. A great move making Fritsch the sub, as he played a great game when he came on.

If he was technically good to go against the Hawks, I have no idea why he was "managed" for a season defining game when we had soldiers already down in Petty and Viney.

We certainly do not have the luxury or have earned the wins in the bank to start resting players. If necessary, they could have rested him for a probable road trip loss to Brisbane and have him fit and fresh for a winnable game against Sydney the following week.

Jake Melksham was managed against due to hamstring tightness during the week. Better to miss 1 week instead of 4 weeks. Jake Lever should play 2 and half quarters at Casey this week. This information was mentioned at 30 years membership function before the game against Hawthorn.

It's been a lil' while between drinks, but volume 3 of 'The Greatest Goals' is finally here!

Some highlights include

• Aaron Davey's mid-air soccer goal

• Dean Kent's remarkable running goal to pinch the lead against the Bombers

• Cam Pedersen's boundary line brilliance against the Blues

• Jeff Farmer doing Jeff Farmer things

• Kozzy Pickett's running goal in Hobart against the Roos

• Mitch Hannan's Elimination Final heroics (no titanic music, sorry!)

Enjoy!

Thank you for the great job doing this. I have watched the first two, and enjoyed them. Looking forward to watching the new one.

I need to apologise for saying Kozzie was a late out. We had DA members at Casey and they announced it in our group WhatsApp and it spread like wildfire throughout the cheer squad. Sorry for worrying folks.

But more importantly…

HOW BLOODY GOOD WAS THAT WIN !!!

All the emotions running amok but the main one was RELIEF. So, so proud of our boys.

PS: ‘twas my lucky Melbourne socks that did it.

YOU’RE ALL WELCOME!

Needless to say I’ll be wearing them every week.

Again, you’re all welcome 😁

YEAH THE MIGHTY DEES!

Please Ghostwriter wear your lucky socks every week.

It is great to win again. Grat effort to kick over 100 points in a game. The 4 first round picks in the last 2 years played well. I hope they play many more games together. The style played today was what I watched at training over the summer.

Thank you for your great work to keep the site working. Also good luck, and I hope that everything goes well.

Not only will I tell you what to do I’ll write a comprehensive report on it.

You can write what you like, but I will take no notice of it. I look forward to reading your report on training.

Don’t you start giving me lip Chief. 

You will not tell me what to do.

My report will set a new standard in reporting. In fact my report’s reporting will set the standard for all future reports. 

Nothing like been modest, and confident in your own abilities.

The situation is getting way out of hand. Sporadic reports, late reports, almost no reports, not to mention the state of some of the reports when they finally arrive. It’s 2.47, any report this late had better be very good. I’m sick of needing to point out the basics.

You need to remember that people do reports on training voluntarily, and if you want quicker and better, then I suggest you do them.

I’ve been reliably informed that the Captain’s Run prior to the practice match will be at GOSCH’S this Friday, February 21st at 10am. 

Now confirmed: This isn’t an open session though. Of course spectators can still attend, the difference being the players aren’t officially available for pics and signatures after training, although they oblige the fans anyways.

Also: the practice match will start an hour earlier on Saturday due to the extreme heat. Start time is now 10am

Thank you Ghostwriter for your great information, and training reports.

I have been reading these posts for the last 6 months occasionally - and then frequently - and I have finally decided to join in. I've been a Demons supporter from 2016. I'm originally from NSW and have lived here for 15 years and started to get into footy down here. I fell hard!!! I've found this forum a real pick me up as I've been away from home for the last 6 months. Looking at it from the outside, I've always found GW to be the glue keeping everyone together. I'm glad she's back and I look forward to more of her reports as I love them. I also love everyone's passion on here. Pleased to meet you all! 

Welcome aboard, and I hope that you make many great posts. 

I attended some of the training session this morning. Looked like they were practising some drills about near the end of games. Trac looks very good, and not far away from joining main training. Spargo is getting closer to doing more training. Judd McVee was helped off the ground with a leg injury. Hopefully scans find no serious damage. 

I attended some of the training session this morning. During match sim, I was very impressed by Fritsch, Windsor, Langford, and Billings. Trac still training on sidelines, but looks close to returning to main training. Meltsham was running laps in rehab due to hamstring injury. Spare and McAdam running laps.

I attended some of the training session this morning. I as very impressed with some of Bill Laurie's efforts. Jvr was marking everything including a great mark over Tmac. Trac is looking in good condition, and ready to go. Clayton Oliver looks very fit, and is in everything. Jack Billings looks very fit, and very keen to have a big season.
