We play Sydney next week and whilst we may struggle a bit it is not that long ago that we beat them in Melbourne one Sunday afternoon. Let’s hope Goodes doesn’t play.

I think our fitness could be a problem based on the last quarter.

Dan Nicholson detractors please eat your hats!

He played ok, but Griffen still had 31 touches and 3 goals... Wouldn't talk up his performance too much.

Glad to see Watts have a really good game and stand up when we needed it!

We ran out of legs which is understandable given how young we are and how experienced the Dog's midfield is.

Not a good way to finish but my god we dominated for three quarters. Sweet baby Jesus that is a huge effort.

We won. Watts was enormous. Enjoy it.

GO DEES!!!!

The umpires almost cost us the game by giving the Dogs free kick for Out on the full when it came off a Dog players leg, they goit a goal and cut the margin to 2 points.

Absolutely disgraceful effort by the maggots.

Great win, we are in much better shape than the Dogs who have absolutely no KPP's on their list that are worth a damn.

Great to see Gawny towel up that Minson loser.

I was at a work function at the pub, watching the tv with no commentry.

It seemed that was Jack Watts best game ? any thoughts

Tom mcdonald has got to be the worst player. He is so indecisive and he usually picks the worst decision out of all of the options. Hyped because he can run but seriously, we can't go forward with him in the team

Oh Freak, how I've missed your terribly wrong player assessments.

To me, that Jack Watts mark in the backline in the dying seconds kind of validates the time he spent down there over the past few years. To be able to do that as a forward (probably without having been instructed to do so) will be very handy in the coming years.

This might sound crazy but that last quarter might be good for them. The game is never won.

I agree, they experienced getting run over without actually losing. While we would all agree that we would prefer to have won by 10 goals, they will definitely remember this next time. Really liked Jack T's interview with Hall as well, as a side note.

Well.. I'm going to say it. The massive blunder by the boundary umpire giving the out on the full free kick to the Dogs cost us the momentum in the last quarter. For all the things that went our way tonight it makes me very angry.

Bloody oath. Not only was the free given to the incorrect team, it hit the bulldog's knee anyway; so the umpire got it wrong twice in the same free kick. Good going ump!

My take tonight is the Neeld Melbourne would have been beaten comfortably, Under Craig, we dominated and the bulldogs pulled out all stops to beat us and we hung on.

its a big difference.

We looked a totally different team to the one ive seen under Neeld.

Melbourne win a game of footy and this is your first post in eight months. Tom McDonald is coming off a career best game against Riewoldt. Missed you Freak. Pure gold..

When I initially saw it it looked like it came of the dees player but that was because of the angle it was shown on.

After the replay it clearly showed it was a dogs player.

We are dam lucky we got home by 3 points otherwise I would have had a massive hissy fit.

Just lost the priority pick.

We dominated that game, but for the final quarter.

Would've necked myself, and possibly a few others, if we lost that one.

I feel numb. But relieved. And maybe even a bit happy.

Ron I hope the PP is a non issue and we keep improving to win a few more games for the season. If we sort the development out we'll still get pick 2 & somewhere around Picks 20, 38, 54 & with signs of improvement I'd look at snaring a FA & someone like Taylor Adams in the PSD.

Hope you enjoy the win, Casey, West Perth & Melbourne all in one day!

Great work by Gawn. But he was out of energy in the last quarter and Minsons ruck work was a major part of their comeback. Griffen and Cooney were incedible in that last 15 min.

Good to see that Fitzy might actually be alright when our delivery is better. He looked a lot less nervous tonight.

    CROSSROADS by The Oracle

    Melbourne stands at the crossroads.  Sunday’s game against the West Coast Eagles who have not met the Demons at the MCG in more than ten years, is a make or break for the club’s finals aspirations.  That proposition is self-evident since every other team the club will be opposed to over the next eight weeks of footy is a prospective 2024 finalist. To add to this perspective is the fact that while the Demons are now in twelfth position on the AFL table, they are only a game and a half b

    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.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Brisbane

    It's Game Day and the Dees are deep in the heart of enemy territory as they take on the Lions in Brisbane under the Friday Night Lights at the Gabba. Will the Demon finally be awakened and the season get back on track or will they meekly be sacrificed like lambs to the slaughter?

    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
