Melbourne Demons win big pre-season game by 80 points against North Melbourne

I'm heading to bed, so I'll watch the second half of this match with my coffee in the morning. Despite Gold Coast jumping out to a big lead, Melbourne is clawing their way back in to the match after a horrendous opening quarter. I love how quickly teams can turn games around in the AFL - few leads are truly safe.

What a turnaround! We've just beaten both 2024 Grand Finalists back-to-back, and today's win was made even sweeter with the full Kozzy experience on Trac's 200th game. Thanks, @melbournefc.bsky.social! #Trac200 #KozzyPickett #Narrm #MFC #AFL #GoDees #MyHeartBeatsTrue #MelbourneDemons #SydneySwans

Gawn's Demons Down Desperate Eagles | AFANA

The Melbourne Demons led by Max Gawn overcame the desperate West Coast Eagles to post their third consecutive win of the season. It was a match of fifteenth versus eighteenth and for much of the game it reflected their respective positions on the premiership ladder. The Eagles were desperate and lacked skills and the Demons had players with skill but lacked desperation. The shining light for the Demons was their skipper Max Gawn, who dominated in the ruck with 47 hitouts and nine clearances while covering ground like a midfielder and picking up 35 possessions. Gawn was supported by Christian Petracca who was back to his damaging best at stoppages and provided midfield grunt when the Demons got serious after half time. Petracca made an early symbolic statement when he intercepted a Harley Reid handpass and booted the Demons' first goal after less than two minutes play.

What an excellent game - such a great competition between these two. Shame it was all the way out in Casey Fields, so limited attendance (for me, I didn't go due to awful PT links). #AFLW #AdelaideCrows #MelbourneDemons #WeFlyAsOne #AFL
