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.

    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!

     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.

    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

    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.

    Winning ugly is ok

    Adelaide had their season on the line

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

    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

    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!!!

    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

    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.

    • PREVIEW: North Melbourne

      Can you believe it? After a long period of years over which Melbourne has dominated in matches against North Melbourne, the Demons are looking down the barrel at two defeats at the hands of the Kangaroos in the same season. And if that eventuates, it will come hot on the heels of an identical result against the Gold Coast Suns. How have the might fallen? There is a slight difference in that North Melbourne are not yet in the same place as Gold Coast. Like Melbourne, they are currently situated in the lower half of the ladder and though they did achieve a significant upset when the teams met earlier in the season, their subsequent form has been equally unimpressive and inconsistent.

    • REPORT: Adelaide

      The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.

    • CASEY: Coburg

      The Casey Demons returned to their home ground which was once a graveyard for opposing teams but they managed to gift the four points on offer to Coburg with yet another of their trademark displays of inaccuracy in front of goals and some undisciplined football that earned the displeasure of the umpires late in the game. The home team was welcomed by a small crowd at Casey Fields and looked right at home as it dominated the first three quarters and led for all bar the last five minutes of the game. In the end, they came away with nothing, despite winning everywhere but on the scoreboard and the free kick count.

    • PREGAME: Rd 18 vs North Melbourne

      After four weeks on the road the Demons make their long awaited return to the MCG next Sunday to play in a classic late season dead rubber against the North Melbourne Kangaroos. Who comes in and who comes out?

    • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.
