Loved this comment by Dermie, if the Dees scrape into the finals, there will be 7 other teams not wanting to play them. We are a respected club again and I feel proud once again to be a Dees fan.

Sorry to report that Jesse was really getting into the team song. For all you body language experts.

The comedown from last week finally hit in the third, and it bloody hurt. However, we won by 40 points, basically in third gear, where several of our best players were well off the pace. A lot of

And yet again, Tyson was outstanding. A few weeks ago, 'Joeboy' called him the most overrated player he's ever seen in a Melbourne jumper. 

Well well. Tyson is a star.

Phew!

We did what good teams do, toughed it out in the last and won ugly.

Our Captain lifted, and we did much better in the clearances during the final term.

Been overseas for weeks and I am looking forward to getting to a game next week.

My dilemma for tonight.

Do I watch the replay of Port Adelaide v Melbourne or do I watch Usain Bolt? 

Bolt only comes around once every 4 years, but wins over Port in SA only come around once every 16 years.  You know what to do WJ...

Solid win. Not showtime stuff across 4 quarters but good teams gut wins out.
If we win next week then my expectations will have been exceeded. I thought 10 for the year was our ceiling. 
I still reckon we aren't going to September. I think if we do get in, we might get exposed a bit as I don't think we are ready just yet. However, I won't complain if we do pull off a miracle.

Horrible to watch for the middle 2 quarters but solid win in the end. Strong finish even with the poor kicking for goal.

Not sure whether they were just terrible or we were good - but honestly both teams were just plain sloppy for most of it.

Jones came back into the game strongly, Tyson continued his consistent form.  I thought we were pretty even across the board.  Hogan, Vanders and Harmes were probably the only ones who didn't contribute much.

I'm not an Omac fan but he played pretty well tonight, turned it over a couple of times but his positioning and run was quite good. Looked more assured.

Tom Mac was clean and confident.

I thought Brayshaw was also important in that first half, looked a bit better tonight.

Watts goal in the 3rd was just so crucial...

I think it was in the last quarter?

We're 20 rounds into a season and are still in finals contention. How far we've come.

Thank you PJ and Roosy, you two have resurrected this footy club.

Didn't he kick our one goal for the 3rd. It's a bit of a blur!

it was the steadier anyway. We were being hammered and he took a great mark and finished it off

Well now you can tell when Melbourne have really improved when they beat a bunch of thugs.

For the 2nd week in a row.  The Roos mantra of drafting big bodied competitive players has turned us into the bullies.  Next year we will be crushing teams physically and mentally.

Wow can u imagine a scenario if we win next week and beat geelong and we sit around sat night watching nth and gws play barracking for gws and that game could decide our fate. 

Im just rapt we backed up from last week. 3 yrs ago that probably wouldn't have happened. But geez how good does it feel to be a melbourne supporter again? Now the media will be talking about we can be the only team to get in the 8.

    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,
