    We trailed the inside 50s by 15 at the half

    Ended up winning it 53-51

    Cam "the people's second forward" Pedersen. Chris Dawes needs to work his way back into this team.

    Sure does. Cam gave so much...not just "making a contest" that Dawes gets some praise for, but actually winning some, and kicking goals.

    Absolutely no room for Dawes at the moment.

    Great to see one of my boys on TV celebrating the win. Two work for the club and I'm proud beyond belief of both.

    They'll kill me for this post if they see it, but good show guys.

    All credit to the coaches. After 3 heavy matches and a humiliating loss last week, to get the team up for this, believing in themselves, and staying the course under a couple of serious Dogs' challenges ... massive.

    Also, a special mention goes out to the MFC players who are regularly pilloried on this site by all and sundry ... well done.

    Fitzpatrick, Spencer, Toumpas ... nice work gents.

    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.

    The "ice" Berg was very good today. 29 disposals and 11 tackles. Outstanding get MFC

    Brayshaw looked great today.

    Vandenberg is a big kid, exactly what we needed in the middle after last year.

    Bernie Vince ability to kick both sides of the body, and push forward - is invaluable.

    MFC looked promising today.

    To all those who where in the doom and gloom tread slashing their wrist, don't post on this tread, like i said there how we played in the last three rounds against the best three teams from the last three years, was not the real reflection of this season, when we have played teams around our level, we are 3 and 2,we where never going to beat Sydney freeo and hawthorne, it was just bad luck they where back to back to back.

    Vandenberg - 29 touches and 11 tackles..... Beast.

    Hogan - star - nothing more to be said.

    Brayshaw - work rate in the last quarter ŵas immense.

    Both vandenBerg and Brayshaw looked absolutely stuffed but fought on and on.

    No doubt, Pedo > Dawes.

    I didn't see the whole game but it looks like Spencer had a good one.

    Monty on fan footy gave him the star "Set up the Dee win by engineering a big clearance advantage... 40 hit outs... also 12 disposals and 8 tackles." Those tackle numbers have been consistent since he's been in the side (7.6 per game).

    I commented earlier on Specer's ability and will to follow up after a clearance - did it several times .. Haven't seen a MFC ruck an do that for a long long time.

    Got the radio to listen to the umps mic. Bob Murphy was having a go at Hogan, saying "next big thing".

    Hogan: "Where's the bloke you signed?" And pointed at the Dogs bench

    Great team effort. All the regular villians did well.

    The difference is that we played completely differently today though, we actually gave a stuff

    Very impressed with spencer and fitzy today. If they can play like that more often they're in the 22.

    Pedersen is so far ahead of dawes at the moment.

    Toump showed a bit which was great.

    Vandenberg is a truely great find, does just about everything well.

    Hogan should finally get his nomination after today, very impressive. going to be scary when he fills out even further.

    Great all round performance, go dees!

    Edit. The where's your bloke - on the bench line.

    Great comeback, that would have shut Murphy up.

    Yu bloody beauty. Is anyone gonna give Spencer any credit today? Won about 5 clearances by himself in a row in the 1st or 2nd quarter. He's still rough, but he's come on leaps and bounds. What a sweet feeling that win was. Bloody Vanders and Gus. What ripper games. And Pedo was almost unbeatable one on one.

    Edit. Fitzy's game was magnificent. And Toumpas made a few silly errors, but great to see him getting involved.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

    • POSTGAME: Western Bulldogs

      The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
