Can't remember a better win in my 60+ years of following this mob.

I'm tipping the 64 GF was better......just sayin...

 

 

Waiting for Steve's analysis on the McDonald boys and Frosty. 

I was there, or should I say I am here.  A win for the ages. Our running, particularly defensively was outstanding. 

The pants were off, the scarf was waving and the dimmies went flying as my wife and mother in law came home from dinner with as Truck got his goal with about ten minutes left! 

I asked how their dinner was and they said not as good as mine by the looks of things! 

GO YOU GOOD THANGS! 

THAT WAS WILD! 

 

All I asked for was for the players to contest and boy did they contest. I cannot remember a Melbourne team going that hard for so long, hunting in packs and tackling. Maybe have to go back to the days of John Northey coaching. That is an awesome result and a great return for Bernies 200th. Go Dees

 

I was there tonight. Went up from Melbourne with my son as his 7th bday present! The boys delivered big time. When we were 26 down, away, against a good side, undermanned, I thought it would get ugly. 

So much to like about tonight. The way the backline setup, the numbers we got to the ball, the incredible tackling, the 1 on 1 performances and the even contribution.... magic win!


I gave us no chance.

 So glad to be wrong.

They were great tonight.

That's amazing chook......I didn't think you were that old. 

 

Can't wait till we put together a four-quarter effort. This three-and-a-half-quarter business is seriously hurting our percentage.

I came to Vic in 1965 so really didnt take much interest until then.

Meh, if you take out the enormous run of goals we got, Adelaide actually scored more than us...................

:lol:

I am indeed. Time is running out for me to see that premiership 

No changes next week

my wife and fam came with me and my boy tonight. Wife and daughter were 50/50 going back to the hotel at half time, but didnt. She's stoked she didn't, and sang the song louder than all of us.

im so proud in South Australia...

If we can play with the same intensity for four quarters every week I have no doubt we'll get there. Bloody frustrating team though. 


This win reinforces exactly what frustrates us loyal fans. We know how good they can be, when they click we look like one of the most exciting teams in the comp! We should have another couple of wins, but we're 4-4 because we're so up and down!

I love this club for better or worse but jeez they don't make it easy on us! Having said that it does make wins like this tastier!

Good for you VP! 

Hopefully this gives the boys the self belief they need to see it pays off to continually and consistently pressure the opposition and turn up to the game mentally switched on from the start no matter who the opposition is.

Hogan needs to change the way he plays (less calling for ball on his head) and Melbourne need to stop always looking for him as the first option.

Play him at CHF


Speechless..

Amazing what half time can do to you. Tyson went from junk to spunk. Was another big contributer in the 2nd half along with Petracca Tmac and even Kenty.

Speaking of Tmac, please Goody leave him up forward! Has an absolute huge tank and could play that roaming  Nick Reiwoldt style CHF. I saw a pretty decent forward out there tonight. Frosty is already proven that he is more then capable of being our number 1 defender. 

Oscar's best game in red and blue colours. Completely shut out that pretender in Josh Jenkins.

Said at half time that for us to be any chance Petracca has to go in the midfield. What he did tonight was just a small tip of the iceberg on what hes capable of. Upside is huge!

Lock Oliver and Jetta for All Australian. enough said.

Pedolanko! To think we could have kept Dawed ahead of him. Doing everything right to suggest he's best 22 for the whole year.

Hibberd Salem were the class down back. Salem will be a star once he gets that 50 to 80 games under his belt.

 

Awesome game byJetta and thought Watts games was really good even though he didn't kick any goals this week.

Viney is back, and brilliant coaching especially putting TMac in the forward line.

The boys really wanted it and they got it!

As the great Butch Gale (nearly) said "I tipped that". TMac forward

 

Go Dees

Sloan had only 11 disposals. 

WELL DONE VINCE AND CONGRATS ON UR 200th.

  • REPORT: Gold Coast

    From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

  • CASEY: Gold Coast

    Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

  • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

    The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.
