    Hogan's handpass to Pedersen with the game in the balance. Oh my [censored] God.

    According to Leight Matthews, Hogan has no game when the ball hits the deck.

    What a win.

    You know when Jake Spencer is bursting through the centre and hitting blokes on the [censored] it's gunna be our day.

    Hogan simply has to get a rising star nomination now! If he doesn't lets let the fools at the AFL know about it!

    Contested grab in the square in the first 30 seconds by hulkamania was a nice omen too

    Unfortunately McCarthy at GWS will likely have it

    Brayshaw's last quarter is the sort of performance that you get from a star. Immense.

    Hogan. No words necessary.

    I actually thought it was the lesser lights like Fitzy and Grimes and Spencer and Pedo that helped us win

    Vanders is a gem. That's more tackles than some of our players have had their entire career.

    Pedersen and Hogan soooooooo much better than Dawes and Hogan

    They did seem to fit in well together. Kept out of the way but were there for support. And Pedersen actually grabbed his marks and kicked his goals.

    Terrific performance, really impressive bounce back. And not just grunt, at times really good quality. And we may have, finally, found a sport for Fitzpatrick, he looked (Fitzy??) composed and strong. If he can hold a spot down back that's going to be pretty significant, 'cos that opens up other possibilities, eg releases Garland who can be dangerous elsewhere. I look forward to the coming weeks.

    I wonder if we set ourselves for this game as opposed to the last 3?

    Bernie Vince is an absolute machine. What a last quarter.

    Nice to win.

    Not going to get overly excited though.

    Fitzpatrick, one good game. Let's see him back it up now against tougher opposition.

    Same goes with Toumpas.

    I think we need to see a bare minimum in effort from these guys and also a cap on how many mistakes certain players make during a game.

    We need consistency in form from many of our players over several games if we're going to stay competitive.

    Not just one flashy game here and there.

    Vandenberg is proof that if you have a desire to compete and you're cool and calm with the ball, you can consistently have an impact. This is from a mature age rookie who's coming off half an AFL pre-season. And his first at that.

    Hogan and Brayshaw also display these characteristics.

    Riley was just what we needed the last quarter. Needed to smash bodies and he did.

    Hard at it, tackled like a man possessed and all but one disposal was a sharp handball (and spot on).

    Important role and great sub strategy!

  • Quote

    Hogan - 3 goals 21 touches

    Toumpas - 2 goals 20 touches

    Brayshaw - 20 touches

    Ro Bail - 5 touches

    Great win, very even performance and not left to TMac to fly the flag. Similar win to our previous two wins. We were able to press on after getting a good early lead. The real test for us is winning once we fall behind and have to fight back. That's when we fold pathetically once we get a couple of goals behind. Anyhow the season looks far more promising than this time last week.

    Well it looks like we're going to be playing Port on the rebound, hopefully with inclusions of Viney and Jetta and who knows how that might turn out?

    I thought the "Pig Dog" was sensational the last quarter his run down and tackling pressure were exactly what was required ! He stays in at the expense of Bail or Matt Jones!

    Makes it easier to change a winning formula!

    In Viney, Jetta

    Out: Bail, M Jones (inj)

    • 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.

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes 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.
