POST MATCH DISCUSSION - Round 21

[Monocology 1,109]

So proud. Missed everything in the second half but still half a thumping.

Keep your eye on us.

[Demon Disciple 11,843]

Tipping Jesse to come out and have a good one against the Blues, with 5 sausages and several more assists.

My dilemma for tonight.

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

Watch the first half and then Bolt.

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.

[Deevout 492]

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.

Go Dee's

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...

Bolt should only take 9 seconds.

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.

[Ethan Tremblay 30,510]

Good to see Aiden Riley in the rooms after the game wearing a Demons ball cap.

[Sir Why You Little 36,774]

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

[Buzzy 992]

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.

Bolt, Armstrong, EFC???

 

[doc roet 1,287]

4 PEAT  next week,I just hope not so ugly.

[Willmoy1947 4,017]

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

Our defense was excellent. Thought both McDonald's, Jetta and Hunt played great games. 

Jetta and Hunt are close to my two favorites at the moment.

Great win. Terrible game.

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.

Whoo Hooo

Don't think well play finals this year but I'm sure we will next year. 

Three in a row.

Huge improvement. Ten wins this year. Huge.

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

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.

Running must really take it out of you.

[dees189227 12,311]

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.

Bugg kicked that one in the third.
