When you're losing, you're expected to be sugary sweet and for the better part of the last decade we've had to cop a lot from opposition clubs and supporters.

That said, I didn't mind a bit of in your face aggression from one T. Bugg.

Sweet.

And jack Viney was quick to fire up when Rance scones Watts for no reason.

What a great response from Viney after the Rance cowardly act.He is so super strong for his size and he dumped a bigger guy Rance in no uncertain terms.

Viney is a gun, AA this year for sure.

Top 5 in the Brownlow at this stage too I'd say. He is a 120 minute fearsome beast.

It is so nice to have some good footballers playing for us finally! Go you demons

The Rance dog act was met with appropriate fire. Well done Viney for waving the flag, go hard Dees! ??

Those of us old enough to remember know that the Melbourne team of the Norm Smith era never copped (censored) from anybody. We were tough, aggressive and always stood our ground. That, and the fact that we had more ability than the others helped us win a heap of flags. 

RDB would be proud of the boys efforts tonight.

We are relentless. Loving the $12 I'm sitting on for us to make the 8. We will make the 8.

Can anyone shed any light on what sparked the quarter-time melee?

Looked like our boys were filthy, I wonder if someone said something and if so, what?

I put $100 on the 8, won't get ahead of myself but not regretting that bet. In terms of toughness, totally agree the days of being bullied by Hawthorn etc should be long gone.

I think he is on the turps, and disgruntled.

I'm pretty sure what sparked it was Tommy Bugg. The lad's gob was open all night.

He's gobby alright. I'm just glad he didn't have to regret that pointing to the grandstand as he was running into the open goal. He's loving his footy and his new club, and quite likes a big crowd I reckon. We haven't seen the best of the Bugg yet, I'm pretty sure of that.

I love when Vickery was trying to get stuck into Salem that his mate...baby face Hunt jumped right into it to back him up.

Loved the pointing to the stand but nevertheless l reckon that Roosy might have a word with him about it during the week.

To be fair to Bugg, he's probably not used to playing in front of an actual crowd.

At one point Salem was copping it from 3-4 tigers on his own and Dunn sprinted in to back him up before anyone else did

My dad just texted me and said they played like they used to under Northey.

He loves telling stories of Northey every week telling the boys how no-one rates them, no-one likes them, you have only got each other, etc.

They certainly seem to playing to that inspiration.

The aggression and attitude was my favourite thing about tonight's win. Especially Viney because he backs it up attacking the footy. What a player.

Even the Dees supporters stuck up for themselves at the Punt rd end against the somewhat confrontational drunken Richmond bogans lurking in the standing room.

Jayden Hunt went running over to Salem who Vickery (that tough strong 6'6 pile of ......) decided to get in to. Was great to see a 2nd gamer stick up for his school mate! Then Dunny and Viney I think were right in to it.

And that was the 2nd or 3rd outbreak of that particular melee.
