Just got a msg from a whorethorn mate, "we played shite, Frawley in and we would have choked you guys, you better thank the afl for your win, as the only reason your here is cause they bailed you out". He is cut deep, and I love it. Not even going to reply, just let him stew on it. 

I'd reply with :"grins"

So good to stick it up the pompous Hawthorn supporters around me, especially the old bloke in trackie dacks and runners.

Where's Jeff Kennett, surely Hawthorn are VFL standard?

Great call.

We've done a service to all humanity by making things a little bit harder for the Hawks. 

Max Gawn must now be a lock for all-Australian, which is nice.

So happy for Cameron Pederson, too.

Ahh, this is how a club regains respect - Hawthorn fans will resent us and be sooking all week, while every other club's supporters will love reminding them. This time it won't be 'ha ha, you lost to the rubbish team' like it was whenever we beat a strong club int he last 9 years, this time it will be 'you're on your way down and others are on their way up'.

 

Side note - O.Mac is still eligible for Rising Star nomination, maybe this 'breakout game' could earn him a nod?

best win since elimination final v carlton, 2000, imo.

Best win since 1994 Qualifying final, 7th place Melbourne beating Carlton at the G. With Schwarz going nuts in the last half, it was his Wayne Carey moment. Me and my dad were having a great time. Similar match to this. Carlton were a really strong side that year and we showed up and dominated them out of nowhere, it was ecstatic.

When Alexander Graham Bell invented the telephone he had two missed calls from Max Gawn.

Just saw this gem on the Bigfooty thread. Credit goes to RandB.

Oliver's game today was also a ripper, and further proof we need to trust the FD more.  He had 5 weeks out in the VFL, away from the spotlight, to work on areas of his game and freshen up, and look at the result.  They knew what they were doing and were rewarded for it.

This is a turning point for our club. 

Cant make the finals but beat a team who has won 3 flags in a row and chasing a 4th.

 

Best win for many years.

Take out Cyril and that was a 10 goal win.

Add some decent umpiring and its 12.

I think we have a pulse.

Watching streams of Hawks supporters leave with 3 minutes to go has now been entrenched in my mind for the amount of happiness it gave me.

Was listening to the last quarter on a packed team heading home from work. Crying, cheering, shouting I must've looked quite the nut job. 

My heart is overflowing with pride.

THIS is the win and THIS is the future!

Yep…that was 1 week & this is 1 week.

But what a significant boost to the mindset of our young charges.

The belief within the squad will soar & players looking to move clubs will take notice.

Oliver was absolutely sensational. Seriously. I watch him very closely and everytime he gets the ball the ability to just spot a player in a contest and release a handball is absolutely mouth watering.

So Clarkson just used inexperience as an excuse for their loss today. The little person scrambling for excuses.

The laughter when the name "Melbourne" is mentioned, just stopped.

The embarrassment when you front up to work with the team sticker on the bumper has been erased.

Was on the road for all bar the last 25mins. Walked in the door to watch the friggen hawks take the lead, and assumed my normal position in front of the TV, with head in hands (God I hate hawthorn). My nervous little missus snuck off to another room, sensing the impending footy rage. 

After 5 brilliant goals on the trot, I now get to sit with her and troll the supporter sites and drink mass amounts of my whisky, while waiting for a replay.

 

Thank you Melbourne. My faith is restored.

Oh, and my sad sack brother owes the club a membership. Good times!

To hold the ladder leaders and the winners of the last three premierships to 1:3 in the last quarter and only one behind after the 11 minute mark is a magnificent achievement.

Special mention  to Pederson. After a relative quiet first half he was brilliant in the final quarter.  And gave some great physical contests all day.

    THE ACCIDENTAL DEMONS by The Oracle

    In the space of eight days, the Melbourne Football Club’s plans for the coming year were turned upside down by two season-ending injuries to players who were contending strongly for places in its opening round match against the GWS Giants. Shane McAdam was first player to go down with injury when he ruptured an Achilles tendon at Friday afternoon training, a week before the cut-off date for the AFL’s pre-season supplemental selection period (“SSP”). McAdam was beginning to get some real mom

    RETURN TO NORMAL by Whispering Jack

    One of my prized possessions is a framed, autographed guernsey bearing the number 31 worn by my childhood hero, Melbourne’s champion six time premiership player Ronald Dale Barassi who passed away on 16 September 2023, aged 87. The former captain who went on to a successful coaching career, mainly with other clubs, came back to the fold in his later years as a staunch Demon supporter who often sat across the way from me in the Northern Stand of the MCG cheering on the team. Barassi died the

    After an agonizingly long off-season the 2025 AFL Premiership Season is almost upon us and the Demons have their first practice hit out against the Kangaroos in a match simulation out at Arden Street. The Demons will take on the Kangaroos in match simulation play, starting from 10am AEDT and broadcast live on Foxtel and Kayo.
