    Well if wasn't game over before it certainly is now. We need to use the Tigers as our inspiration. They missed out on finals last year and had their resolve questioned. To be honest they got VERY lucky earlier in the year but that's what you need to win the premiership.

    Appalling umpiring. But this game should give every club hope that even bog ordinary teams can win a gf. Two average sides winning in two years. No reason we can't make it 3 from 3.

    Were you in a coma in 2007?

    I’m glad we didn’t win the flag. Hird giving the NS medal to Oliver is a deal breaker.

    Well, can  someone please tell me how the F that just happened?

    Adelaide from 1/4 time on played stupid. Then kept playing stupid. Then played stupid some more.

    It shits me too.

    Two things come to mind.

    First, we started rebuilding at roughly the same time as the Tiges. I remember many Demon supporters were claiming victory as the better team one year into the rebuild. How has that worked out? Trengove delisted, Scully gone and Watts about to join him.

    Secondly, I wonder if there was a 'Dustin Martin' thread when Dusty when he was exploring his options?

    I am betting that it was the usual 'PASS' along with a ridiculous overrating of our list. 

    I am with @praha. The Tiges are winning this with straight up pressure. When it comes down to a meat and three veg game (as Goody calls them), we insist on caviar. 

    I bet at the end of this match that the in-house jokers on here will still refer to 'Ninthmond', like they do with 'Carltank' (like we never did anything resembling that?)

    This is how we beat Adelaide

    F@@k could have been us!

    What happened?

    This result makes me somehow angrier and more disgusted at our team and how we finished the season. I'm sick of being a Melbourne supporter today, even tho I'm in Vietnam and not even watching the game (just following results and getting texts) 

    Good on Richmond. We laugh at them but [censored] me they have done something we haven't achieved in 53 years!!!

  • Quote

    Well that sucks. What happened to Adelaide?? They were playing in slow motion.

    I am so jealous??

  • Quote

    Congrats tigers that must give us hope for next year, come with the right attitude and you can win it all 

  • Quote

    we must have the longest premiership drought now by a very big margin

    I know Bulldogs were the longest but were not Richmond next?

    We weren't even nearly good enough. Richmond have been consistent. We are a bit of a rabble. I could make a reasonable argument that our list is on par - on talent. But we have some ways to go. On the upside, we saw this year how far a side (Richmond) can come in the space of a season. There is no reason we cannot do that in 2018. But, as I said "we have some ways to go".

    I'm happy for the tigers but I'm getting a bit sick of all these old Victorian clubs winning premierships at last while we continue to languish.

    The premiership was there for the taking this season, the most even ever.

    Richmond took their chances, which is more than can be said for our club. 

    They deserve the flag.

      Forget the haunting of Round 11 — we’ve got this. Melbourne returns to its inner-city fortress for its milestone 100th AFLW match, carrying a formidable 10–2 record at IKON Stadium. Brisbane’s record at the venue is more balanced: 4 wins, 4 losses and a draw.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Geelong

      It’s been a season of grit, growth, and glimpses of brilliance—mixed with a few tough interstate lessons. Now, with finals looming, the Dees head to Kardinia Park for one last tune-up before the real stuff begins.

    • DRAFT: The Next Generation

      It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.
