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.

Go Dee's

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.
