The look on my kids faces during the last quarter when dominating and singing the song to victory was priceless for me. We all know that we want more. But its important to acknowlege any win and enjo

Evans: hadn't seen anything in him until today, he was superb.. same goes for Tapscott, apart from the two shocking shots on goal. Byrnes was excellent too.. MJones, Terlich, big maxy, Bail even Pedo

I was at the game today. Renewed my membership and during the 3rd quarter I was starting to regret it.

However loved the last quarter. Also I enjoyed

Seeing Maxy back and up in the forward line kicking 2 goals and taking some nice marks.

I have been calling out for Howe to be left forward and he was great today

Jones all hear and all class

Byrnes nice 3 goals and happy that he did well

Evans glad to see him back and liked his run

but im just glad to see a win. I dont care who its against.

I loved how we took the game on and moved the ball fast in the last quarter, that's how we need to play all the time in my opinion.

My first game of the year today, so I'm pretty happy with the result.

Points of note to me:

Gawn's big mark against two opponents in the goal square was a highlight.

Jetta did some great things, including getting reported (I am a fan of a team showing a little fight).

Terlich was great in the second half.

Thrilled to see Evans have a good day.

Likewise thrilled to see Sylvia have a good game. He was patchy, but when he was on he was really on.

Watts was as bad as they say. It's not his attack on the ball or decision-making with it that bothers me but how loose he was in defence. He seems to be backing his pace to close the distance to his man if he needs it, and is getting caught out too often. He was creating goals for the opposition today.

Most impressive today for me were the two forgotten men of our list proving they have the required skills and ability/desire .

Max Gawn is an extrovert in a team full of wallflowers.he is the messiah most likely .

Evans has class,skill and pace.

Garland lifted himself out of the depression that besets him every time he pulls on a jumper.

Sylvia was actually aggressive ,powerful and effective .

Davey still has it ,Trengove showed some real leadership.

Frawley and Chip are in a deep whole .

Byrnes is a waste of space and a terrible recruit .

Pedo gets a pass.

Terlich showed guts ,M Jones skill .

tapscott will get there.

What can we take from that? That last quarter was SO good, but was it good enough to forget the previous 3? Is one amazing quarter enough to lift our confidence noticeably? I'm really happy with a win today, but it's left me with a tonne of questions...

Christ I'm agreeing with both you andBen Hur in one night. What ARE we to make of today?

Forgot to add that there were some bewildering umpiring calls today. Does anyone know why the set shot was taken off Melbourne and given to GWS who went the length of the ground and scored? Pretty sure there was never a signal from the umps as to why they were taking the ball off us?

A number of positives for me. The tackle count. A number of players showed leadership. Some of the rightly criticised players stood up.The last quarter showed the coach hasn't lost the players. There were some concerns, but today was a little step forward. Much more for the coaching staff to work with this week. Much easier to point out the mistakes if you can also point to this is what happens if you do it right.

Mitch was in Phil Davis's ear and giving him a bit of a push it was right near me and the only thing I can think of was that they thought Mitch was pushing Davis out of the play. They were near the point post and both were not near the play. Dumb,stupid and severely retarded are words to describe that decision.

I don't know any other way to say that was a [censored] poor decision by the umpires

Clark had been warned for being hostile and was throwing his weight around - on that kick he bumped his defender and the ump gave a free kick for not heeding the warning. I acutally though I heard the umpire say 'contact Goal defence' - its not AFL it was pathetic

Cult figure Maxy may be our good luck charm.

Pickes Evans was the garnish of a great last quarter.

Watts was worse than bad

In the end his own teammates were ignoring him

The guy next to me was yelling "Give it to Jack"

I told him to tell Jack to get his own [censored] ball for once

Weak, dispirited, lame, dishonest, soulless, gutless, waste of space 6 weeks at Casey required. Just don't bring in Sellar

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well …

    POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Brisbane

    The Demons once again went goalless in the last quarter and were run down by the Lions at the Gabba in the final minutes of the match ultimately losing the game by 5 points as their percentage dips below 100 for the first time since 2020.

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last
