I have legit been crying since that Kent goal. My daughter and missus think I'm an idiot. They clearly dont understand what this [censored] club has done to us supporters for over a decade 

My missus has been outside gardening and thought someone was dying in that last quarter from the sounds in the house.

I won't admit it, but yeah I will... I choked up big time :)

    Just read an interesting stat:

    First time since R01 that WCE have conceded 90 points in a game -
    19 games in a row without conceding 90 points was the longest streak in the AFL era...

    If we ever kick straight it would take us a lot further. God it is frustrating!

    When we missed in 2000 I got such a reaction I thought my marriage was over. Some people just don't understand. Fortunately still going strong.

    Of course you're a bit mentally unstable. We're all shell shocked and not quite ourselves.

    The noise at that venue was unbelievable!! I went to th port game earlier and thought that was loud, this sounded next level on the telecast especially at non decisions. Can anyone who attended let us know what it was like at the ground?? Great effort these boys have got some C in em!!!

    When Hannan missed and they came at us and hit the front I thought we were cooked, today was the day the team dug deep and found something extra. There was every reason for us to capitulate, it would've been exactly what everyone expected but they fought and scrapped and came through the other side. Thank god we don't have to endure another year of final round craziness.

    Harmes BOG for me. He was so important and stood up when it counted.

    Oliver not far behind, he can do things that no one else in the comp can do. How rare is it that that sort of quality plays for us?

    Hannan totally justified his selection, kicked three and set up a few more.

    Kent didn't do a huge amount but when it was his moment he took it with both hands.

    Jones's second half was big, I understand the criticism as he's the captain but he was important to us in the second half and had a cool head.

    Gawn's a beast, best ruckman in the comp and anyone who argues against that is an idiot.

    There's more I want to say but I just want to savour the moment. This could be the making of this young side, we've answered the critics, we're in the finals and I think the rest of the teams should have every reason to not want to face us. Today was a final for us, and we won.

    EDIT: I forgot to add Melksham. He has become one of our top 5 most important players. His delivery and finishing ability is THE BEST in our side.

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

    • GAMEDAY: Essendon

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?
