The "Melbourne" Chant at the end of the game.

It was also fantastic after the siren when, as the players congregated to walk off the ground, much of the MCC gravitated towards the player race to clap and cheer and show our support.

I have always believed that 30,000 Melbourne supporters are just as passionate and equally as loud as 60,000 of most other club's. We just haven't had much chance to show it of late.

Best example i can think of off the top of my head is the 2008 comeback against Freo. 15,000 at the ground (i was one of them) sounded like 70,000 when we hit the front. Getting goosebumps thinking about that game now!

    I remember this game as well. Could hardly speak for 3 days after, my throat was that raw.

    Some of the older ones amongst us might be able to confirm but I thought I'd read the chant also used to get used during the Smith years in the 50's/60's?

    The only difference Dr. Was we were so F***ing great we did it all day.

    I was very close to leaving at half-time. I've never left that early. Thought I'd stick around to see how they'd go. The first half was pitiful. Two minutes into the second half, you could tell it was a different team.

    This game is the reason why I NEVER leave games early, even if we're 100 points down. You just never know what can happen, win or not, there's always (most of the time) something to get out of a match.

    For those that haven't seen this...watch it...and you'll have goosebumps by the end of it. No matter how many times you watch it. Should play this on the big screen before our Round 16 home game.

    Think it's worth noting Freo have been doing that chant for longer than anyone.

    The slow Melbourne chant was good, but I would have preferred a Yes! Chant (wonder if anyone will get that).

    A side note - I may have also told the daughter that I would cancel her MCC waiting list application and I would never take her to the football again - harsh but necessary.

    Have done the same....

    I remember the 'Melbourne' chant during the 94 finals series - when we beat Carlton and Footscray.

    Haha my brother and I were doing the Yes! chant after the match. Wasn't quite the same as in New Orleans though.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
