context, bub, twas in response to faulty saying what if they had kicked another goal

The only true context of today is we won...just..There was NOT a lot in it.

I'm more than happy that we did....of course but ...was a coin toss really.

good ol' heads !!

My favorite moment of the year.

 

Watts last goal, arms open, half arrogant look on his face.

 

Magic.

Wasn't it great!...almost worth 8 years of waiting !!

even better with a foul mouthed Collingwood parent/moron behind me sledging him earlier as being a wasted #1 pick... I enjoyed yelling '#1' at him after he iced the game!

go Dees

Hahahahaha, was waiting for the negative on Tyson. He was the ONLY mid making any difference at all in the first half and was very good in the second half. Yes a couple of his kicks didn't end up where hoped but they were quick kicks out of congestion. Glad to see you didn't disappoint with your bias on him!

FWIW Tyson is currently 6th in the league for clangers, behind:

1. Fyfe 60

2. T Mitchell 56

3. (Equal) D Martin, Zorko 53

5. Dangerfield 52

6. Our man 48

...make of that what you will

"Melksham - some important touches"

He had 10 disposals at 40% DE. 

Stats aren't the be all and end all, but cmon, he was crap today.

did a rather good tagging job in pendles and kicked a clutch goal. showed flexibility by moving forward too. by no means poor. average but not poor

Thought Bugg was clearly ahead of Harmes today. He will have a 4-5 goal game soon. Continually gets to the right spots, and while he doesn't have the class of some others, he makes up for it with his workrate. Definitely don't think he is a long term option, but have him above Harmes/Kent/JKH at the moment. 

his mongrel, pressure, arial prowess, 2 way fitness and shots on goal (albeit wasteful) keeps him ahead of ANB, stretch and harmes next week fo shizzle

Not many arguments from me. It was a thrilling win but we never really got out of first gear. Definitely not one of our best performances. Still too many blokes butchering kicks

Sometimes it is important to win ugly. Something we have not been good at. We are getting it done. Celebrate guys - enjoy it. We are progressing nicely, and have two of our key players back in the next two weeks.

Are they still doing that? I had some moron sitting next to me yelling that out all game one QB. I just kept saying 'Josh Fraser'

 

I thought he was going to punch me by the end of the game, but I can handle myself and I guess he saw that.

 

So sweet seeing Jack ice the cake. I hope my moron mate from long ago choked on his methadone watching that.

I make of that that inside mids get lots of clangers because they work under extreme pressure and lots of the time their work doesn't come off. Tyson for some reason isn't allowed the same mistakes other mids are.

Anyone saying Bugg was poor today, wow...

I thought Bugg was poor today. There. I've said it. And I didn't think Hannan was as good as others seem to think, either. However, I think Hannan has the right skill set. He just needs to get the experience of AFL-paced rather than VFL-paced football to become a potentially seriously good player.

Hannan - pole-axed Dunn nicely

Personally this was my second favourite moment of the game, behind Jack Watts sealer. Would have been number 1 if it was anyone else but Dunny. Was great to see him just going full on at it. His confidence is growing.

One was a cheapy over the top that he soccered.

This just proves what others have been saying about him getting into the right position at the right time. He was also burnt twice that I saw during the game so could have ended with 4. I think in the same way that some earlier this year were calling for Hannan to go back to the VFL but then he came good, Bugg looks like he is close to having a breakout game. I'd hate for him to be in the VFL when that happens.

Magic.

IMO a major difference with JW now is he goes for those shots, a couple of years ago he would have past that off to Jones.

Now he has the confidence / arrogance to go for the shots.

the best teams have a number of players with confidence in their own ability.

Petracca has it as well.

I disgaree. His woeful kicking is a liability, not a big pressure guy either. JKH or Kent would offer more. Bernie is doing the niggle job he could possibly do.

Wow, you want pressure and ask for Kent? Seriously?

    CROSSROADS by The Oracle

    Melbourne stands at the crossroads.  Sunday’s game against the West Coast Eagles who have not met the Demons at the MCG in more than ten years, is a make or break for the club’s finals aspirations.  That proposition is self-evident since every other team the club will be opposed to over the next eight weeks of footy is a prospective 2024 finalist. To add to this perspective is the fact that while the Demons are now in twelfth position on the AFL table, they are only a game and a half b

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi
