Dream on Nudge.

I don't know about everyone else here, but I've had enough of winning for the moment. If Wet Toast and the Shockers bag another W I might re-appraise the situation, but right now winning is not the best outcome for us. I want competitive efforts but I won't be remotely peeved if we don't get the chocolates.

*Cough*

LMAO... :lol:

C'mon mate, its all good, tell me you wre not delighted today?? thats all i was trying 2 say!!

    I'm all for winning, and quite frankly as long as we stay under 5 wins i would be quite happy for us to NOT get the wooden spoon. Looking at it, how much of a difference will it make getting the no. 2 draft pick as opposed to no. 1? We (maybe) miss out on getting Naita and instead we get Rich or someone else we think is better, we get No. 2 in the PSD which will still put us in prime possie if Warnock elects to go that way and we don't get the shame of the wooden spoon.

    For christ sake it used to be everyone did everything they could to AVOID it! I LIKE WINNING! (Within reason!)

    Yes ok Nudge today was great. But I would still have been happy with a fighting loss, and may be happier had the outcome been different, in the long run.

    Doesn't matter now. We did it by 1 point. This can be taken off the thread list now.

    I would have been devastated if we lost yesterday. The umpires interferring throughout the game was very frustrating and it felt great to be able to get over the line in the end. To be able to beat a quality side despite having no Neitz, Robertson or White was very promising.

    Completely agree.

    I cant help but think those that did not want us to win yesterday, either left early, (and there were a few!) or WERE NOT THERE.

    The crowd were instrumental in getting the boys over the line.

    To get a win yesterday was great for the MFC.

    I almost fell off my chair this morning when i sat down to read the courier mail and there was a whole article as well as a large portion of another article dedicated to how umpiring cost them the match. Bradshaw's out on the full that should of been a point was there main gripe, but there was no mention that they had the rub of the green all day. It stated there was no way they should have lost the game being up by 8pts in the last term...IMO we dominated yesterday and would have iced the game a lot earlier if not for umpiring.

    What pleased me more about the match than anything else was it is the first time this season that we have been competitive for the whole game

    this is a huge positive for Bailey to build on

    winning was a bonus and a just reward the players deserved through a good 4 quarter effort

    Our clanger count was still too high but its getting lower

    Brisbane had much more to play for which is a statement to all those morons who keep talking about tanking

    Nobody told PJ thats for sure as that chase was determination at its best

      Forget the haunting of Round 11 — we’ve got this. Melbourne returns to its inner-city fortress for its milestone 100th AFLW match, carrying a formidable 10–2 record at IKON Stadium. Brisbane’s record at the venue is more balanced: 4 wins, 4 losses and a draw.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Geelong

      It’s been a season of grit, growth, and glimpses of brilliance—mixed with a few tough interstate lessons. Now, with finals looming, the Dees head to Kardinia Park for one last tune-up before the real stuff begins.

    • DRAFT: The Next Generation

      It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.

    • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

      A steamy Springfield evening set the stage for a blockbuster top-four clash between two AFLW heavyweights. Brisbane, the bookies’ favourites, hosted Melbourne at a heaving Brighton Homes Arena, with 5,022 fans packing in—the biggest crowd for a Melbourne game this season. It was the 11th meeting between these fierce rivals, with the Dees holding a narrow 6–4 edge. But while the Lions brought the chaos and roared loudest, the Demons aren’t done yet.
