Don't want to be a negative Nancy but we did let the Suns kick 89 points. That is way too much for a team we dominated.

Yeah they have talent and yeah it was the first game and yeah it was exciting kicking all those goals after a goal drought for the last 5 yrs but I would like to see us tighten up a lot on the defensive side if we are going to get a lot better.....

Just sayin....

Seems Jack Viney and Col Garland aren't playing for their careers after all.

To all those that hung Viney out to dry last week.....suck Sith!!!! Jack came to play today and made sooo many posters look absolutely bloody DUMB! Played on the little Master and for all, except 10 minutes, had his measure. Well done Jack for believing in yourself and to Roosy and Staff, well done for believing and trusting in Jack. How quick things can change. Last week he was playing for his career according to the Master Coaches on DL!!!! LOL!!

I hope you are enjoying the school holidays...

Do you know if that deal gives you access online to MFC games ONLY (it doesn't say)

I'm assuming it must be MFC only because the AFL pass is about $150

It says it does but I watched the last 15 mins of the Lions game when they started playing football (TV was lost to the missus...) on my phone...

True, but just like the Dogs and Dons games in the preseason the coaches and players will learn much from this game. They'll learn what worked and they'll isolate where the Suns opened them up.

It's the first game afterall. They were never going to dominate every minute.

I agree with your post but last year we were losing games like this in the last quarter.On Saturday Melbourne kept scoring to win.

I agree. We were actually lucky to win.

Some crucial luck went our way in the 2nd half and we made them pay.

Jack Watts Boundry Goal after a Sun boot kicked the ball OOTF.

Ablett spilling Gimme goal and we cleared the ball

A 2 point ball game we probably would have lost.

Heritier Lamumba kicking a goal after Toumpas completely choked and shat himself.

We won't get 2nd chances like that again

In saying all that. We did deserve to win.

All of our debutantes took the game on. Not one flinch

The trick is taking advantage and capitalising on any luck that may fall your way, even the good teams sometimes only win because they got lucky aka got out of jail. Anyway you make your own luck, what's to say our "luck" wasn't a result of pressure we applied?

We weren't lucky to win.

We had 46 more disposals, 14 more contested possessions, 33 more uncontested possessions, 18 more marks, 5 more contested marks, 3.5% better disposal efficiency, 9 less clangers, 13 more tackles, and 5 more inside 50's. We beat them in just about every important facet of the game. In fact, we had less clangers than any team so far this round.

Ablett takes that handball cleanly winning the stat count means very little.

I have just finished watching the game.

We took advantage of some huge pieces of luck in the 2nd half.

1st half we killed them

A major diff is that in previous seasons we wouldn't have taken advantage of their mistakes.

We would have fluffed around with the ball and stuffed it up.

We did take advantage of their mistakes on sat and got the chocolates.

Nice change hey!

Absolutely. Was great to watch.

But by playing such kamikaze Footy in the first half Fatigue did set in.

But it is an excellent effort to draw from

Best game Jeremy Howe has played for us.

He played a team game rather than taking spekkies

Howe and Garkand shown a side to their game I didnt k ow they had, or forgot they had. That Tyson goal that was set up by the Garland mark, turn and instant play on should be highlighted and re-run to the players as a timely reminder of what momentus footy is all about, and the advantages of catching your opponent off guard on the rebound

yep from the AFL Members back pocket to a Punt Road goal in seconds.

Why? Players running forward of the ball and spreading correctly...and of course great execution of ball carrying skills.

All part of the ebb and flow.

We won by a comfortable margin after 120 minutes of footy.

And there was Abblett - you are not goinjg to keep him down for 100 minutes, even injured. there is no one other like ablett in the AFL. Not even Scully (just kidding!)

Gee....I don't believe the negative posts about what might have happened

If we played the perfect game the opposition would not have scored at all.

It was a good game of footy and mistakes happen in ALL games

Gold Coast are a good team and however it happened.....We beat them.....We kicked the goals that we have been screaming for for the past 5 years.....We attacked the ball and the man......We defended well and our midfielders ran and ran

What's not good about that

Enjoy the win....It wont happen every week

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had

    CENTIMETRES by Whispering Jack

    Our game is one where the result is often decided by centimetres; the touch of a fingernail, a split-second decision made by a player or official, the angle of vision or the random movement of an oblong ball in flight or in its bounce and trajectory. There is one habit that Melbourne seems to have developed of late in its games against Carlton which is that the Demons keep finding themselves on the wrong end of the stick in terms of the fine line in close games at times when centimetres mak

    POSTGAME: Rd 09 vs Carlton

    The Demons were blown out of the water in the first quarter and clawed their way back into the contest but it was a case of too little too late as they lost another close one to Carlton losing by 1 point at the MCG.

    MELBOURNE BUSINESS by The Oracle

    In days of old, this week’s Thursday night AFL match up between the Demons and the Blues would be framed on the basis of the need to redress the fact that Carlton “stole” last year’s semi final away from Melbourne and with it, their hopes for the premiership.  A hot gospelling coach might point out to his charges that they were the better team on the night in all facets and that poor kicking for goal and a couple of lapses at the death cost them what was rightfully theirs. Moreover, now was
