No Essendon player followed Salem down the ground. Goddard could have, but he went to Viney and Cross. When Cross had the kick, Hibberd was left in no-man's land between Salem and Dawes. Perfect running into space by everybody.

That game was so surreal to me. I just couldn't believe what I was witnessing...Essendon just fluffing shot after shot and then us going down the other end and nailing our opportunities. 30 less cont

Is there really a need for this?

I don't know about the Daniher comment, bit harsh.

But I'm sure Hurley cops plenty of stick for his stupid hair style! You go out to play with a man-bun, prepare to cop it.

One of the highlights was watching the team song and there was NO-ONE in the middle.

Been a while since I can remember seeing that. Sorry if it has already been noted.

They are really paying some stinkers this year. The rule is policed poorly and is reflective of umpires having never played the game. If you turn towards the boundary line you are opening yourself up to trouble.I really believe this rule should be policed very leniently and unless it is absolutely 100% obvious then throw it in.

particulalry the ones that travel 40m or so. WTF are the players suposed to do? Kick it directly to an opposition player??

They look up the field, see oppn players and kick it down the line, sometimes with spin to make it go out. That is brilliant in my view. Great talent. To pay deliberate for that which they do is insane. Particularly when the ball bounces sideways.

Maggots.

I was so happy for my grandson today, he was over the moon after the game. You have to admire the kids who have stuck with us after all the cr@p we've put up over the last 7 years, he just turned 11 so we've been rubbish for most of his life.

Priceless. I had my seven year old daughter. Was the most fantastic experience seeing how delighted she was after the game. She is a demon for life now!

Would lynden dunn be the most improved player in the comp

Nope. Cam Pederson is. Dunn was a fringe AFL-level defender last year. Pedo was a straight up VFL-level dud. Not any more, and all credit to him for that.

I was just kidding

Im just enjoying the win, not sure why people took one dumb post I made in the gameday thread so literally. it was just a frustrating point in the game

Lets discuss the game

Go Dees

Anyone that has not made a mistake put your hand up........................ mmmm no one, as I thought, you're forgiven. Welcome back HH

Great win. It makes the drive back to Mansfield worth it. Believe me I have had some long depressing drives over the last few years. Even my wife enjoyed the last quarter, she talked about the game most of the way home, and she hates football!

Note to all the Melbourne supporters at the ground. We were loud, really loud. The players would have felt that.

The roar coming from the crowd the last 2 min was amazing. Obviously i heard it through the TV but still.

Im so envious for all the guys and girls that were able to be there to watch...

Great game! Can't believe we won it considering how poor our first half was

So many great potential gif moments

Not bad for a kid who was snubbed by WA U18s...

Roosy is an absolute coaching genius.

First half was diabolical. No run, no spread, losing contested footy, losing 1 v 1s. Second half, what a change in mindset and coaching. That's a real coaching bloke at the helm.

Reckon we can knock off North next week.

I think the coaching genius is that:

1. Roos knows the process and systems and requirements of September footy

2. Roos doesn't look at the scoreboard and react, like most of us. He sees the micro better than most. Hence when most of the footy world, including some of us, were worried about 3 goals against Collingwood, the macro scoreboard was the last thing on his mind.

Loved that goal, but I reckon his kick to Frawley was just as good, if not better.

The fallout from this game keeps rippling around, with dangerous isotopes landing among Carlton and Richmond.

For them, the Bulldogs and Melbourne both winning is putting a very sharp focus on their stagnation.

They both have fairly rough draws for the remainder of the season and would need to lift their form to keep from being the other half of the bottom four, after Brisbane and the dire Saints.

And that was published before yesterday's game! He must be even happier now!

    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.

    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
