Gosh winning feels good. Had my 3 boys all watching and barracking for the first time ever too (rather than fleeing the house in fear). My 7 year old son said he wanted to go to the MCG and watch Me

Gutsy as hell from start to finish. Never lay down. Arrested momentum when we needed to.

Great performances everywhere although Toump definitely the highlight for me, Fitz not far behind and Grimes even with his usual clanger or two was solid. Jones and Vanders enormous. Vince's best game of the year. Howe utilised his strengths and was dangerous. Garlett added his usual sprinkles of brilliance. Little doubt now that Pedersen is ahead of Dawes. Brayshaw showed glimpses of true class.

Votes could go to almost anyone this week.

Sat with a bulldog fan. Commented that Murphy always plays well against us. He replied yes but every game he always makes one changer. It came in the last quarter. Grimes doesn't have to be perfect to be good

Bail & Jones did their jobs. If you'd seen much of Footscray this year you'd know that so much of the Dog's attack this season has been generated by the run & distribution off half back by Murphy, Johanniesen & Wood. Our two "spuds" significantly reduced their impact. Good planning from Roos.

However Jones did the stupid jump onto a pack thing he is famous for in the Third 20 metres from our goal that resuled in a free to the dogs who then went down field and goaled.

He is out next week injured or not.

I am not a big fan of Bail but I thought he did a few nice things in played that resulted in goals.

Not his worse game.

Punching the air in Vung Tau.

Who was on Dalhaus early?

Don't know but the umpire was up him in the first half.

he's not getting carried away he's asking which of the other 20 players would you drop if it comes to it

it's a tough call

I know who wont be playing unless there are injuries we don't know about.

Old Iron hands can enjoy Casey next week.

However they will probably save him the embarrasment by saying he still has a calf problem.

The most important thing for the team today was the work of Spencer, the ability of him to neutralise the ruck contest and bring the ball to his feet made it an even contest in the middle and it had a massive affect on our midfield in they way we structured, our midfield is better when we keep the ball tight, as soon as we get a ruckman who can tap the ball away from the congestion we get exposed, Brent Moloney would of had a field day today just like he used to with Jamar in 2010..

Couldn't split Vandenberg and Hogan for BOG, with Vince close behind because of his job on Bontempelli!!

Other performances that deserve recognition cam fom Spencer, Brayshaw, FITZPATRICK, Pedersen, N Jones, Toumpas and Grimes.

Riley (unlucky) or Brayshaw if he needs a break.

Does Grimes hold his spot in the side?

Yes he does. He was great off half back today.

As a back men fitzy played the perfect game. He didn't give us any T Mac cringe worthy moments which I thought he would've. He would beat his man or out sprint them then give it to someone who can move the ball along. He impressed me so much today. The toump kept growing in confidence and he started to get some possessions that led to scores. Yeah he ain't quick or strong but if he keeps gut running like that he will get the ball and he uses it so well. It was sad to hear that someone kidnapped spencer and stole his identity today. Whoever did that should get a AFL contract after his prison stint.

Yes-after today.

He is a back flanker and that is it.

Nope. Grimes should go. His disposal and decision making is still VFL standard. And go around again, Gus. We need you.

It was a ghood win dd but lets not get too carried away. It was a win against the Dogs.

Also What makes you think Tyson will be available next week and Jetta has missed a few he might need a run at Casy next week.

The dogs: beat the teams who are 2nd and 3rd on the ladder and gave the top team a run for their money.

Half our side played at Casey in rnd 1. So, not bad then to beat the dogs, I reckon.

A real confidence boosting win!

A bit of trivia: Every team we have played has been in the top 8 at the time we played them (except rnd 1 GCS who were touted as a top 8 side).

We are tracking OK.

For the time being, yes.

Fitzy has thrown a spanner in the works selection wise. Didn't see that coming.

Yes.

Besides that one blunder he is showing he wants to save his career. His last two weeks have been good.

Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
