Sweet, sweet Lord. I am not going to survive this season.

I think I broke my hand tonight? 

We played one good quarter. Not enough against good teams.

The moment Joel Smith unnecessarily rushed his kick from a mark early in the last quarter I knew we were in trouble.

Zero game sense.

We won 

[Neil Crompton 5,560]

One thing we proved today. The coaches picked the right McDonald to become a forward.

Do us all a favour and give yourself an uppercut you [censored] 

 

GREAT WIN!!!!

[Macca 16,969]

A really good tough win ... in terms of important wins,  that is our best win for the season.

The Crows were always going to come back at us in the last quarter - they are no mug side and they're on their own turf. 

But we matched it with them in the first half and hung in there and then played a great 3rd quarter. 

A great win!

Phew

 I don't think we are weak in recent last quarters.  Both Geelong and Adelaide have recently had 10 day breaks.  Whereas we have had 7 day breaks after a Darwin game a few weeks ago.  Huge effort to almost hold on last week

Adelaide should have been much fresher than us and we had a few walking wounded tonight eg Hogan and Harmes.  A mammoth effort for the team to hold on.

Very proud of the lads.

Bang!!!!

[Pennant St Dee 13,173]

Some smart football throughout tonight and after weathering the early storm a getting over a lot of fumbling the boys were very good in their decision making and playing the percentages.

Tmac was exceptional with his body work and plenty of smart body work by all around the stoppages 

[GCDee 3,199]

Love how much hate we are getting on bigfooty.

If we get viney hibberd & hunt (back to his best form) we are going to be very scary in September. 

[Sir Why You Little 37,036]

Winning ugly is ok

Adelaide had their season on the line

We only needed 1 goal in the last Q and we got it. 

[Jaded No More 68,915]

2 things: 

1. Clayton Oliver is unbelievable. He is the best player I have seen in a Melbourne jumper. Ever. 

2. If Frost can stop touching things: eg- the ball, the opposition etc, I really think he could be a player 

[SFebes 4,884]

I love this club. It makes me anxious, frustrated and angry sometimes but wins like that just make your weekend. I’m happy for the club and all of you guys, the supporters. Heart still racing!

Big club circle for the song and FMD, Goodwin showed emotion. So happy right now.

FFS enjoy it. They are a good side. We played hard tough footy in the first half but lacked polish. We then dominated in a hostile environment and held them out in the last.

Don't be like that, Jaded!  You can't tell me you didn't fire up when Nibbler kicked that sealer at the end.  I won't dispute your point above, but that's for later on.  Enjoy a win in enemy territory that keeps our season well and truly alive!!!

[Ethan Tremblay 30,861]

JKH was good in the second half. 

[Mickey 4,684]

That sealer... dancing around the kitchen after that! ""We're going to win! [censored] you Adelaide ! Get [censored] Adelaide!"

Eddie is one of my favourite non-Melbourne players to watch. He absolutely saved our asses with that miss

[What 18,810]

Jesse Hogan winning that 1 on 1 in those conditions with 20 seconds and the give off to Trac to ANB for the goal was awesome.

Couple of great tackles in defensive 50 by O Mac and Salem really helped us in the dying stages.
