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.

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.

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

Does Grimes hold his spot in the side?

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.

Yes.

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

I can't for the life of me see why there is all this love for Toumpas.

We carried him today.

Don't like to 'boo' other posters but which game were you watching?

    BOILED LOLLIES by The Oracle

    In the space of a month Melbourne has gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in terms of its standing as a candidate for the AFL premiership.  The club faces its moment of truth against a badly bruised up Collingwood at the MCG. A win will give it some respite but even then, it won’t be regarded particularly well being against an opponent carrying the burden of an injured playing list. A loss would be a disaster. The Demons have gone from a six/two win/loss ratio and a strong percentag

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,
