POST MATCH DISCUSSION - Round 22

[BenJamin on Deesy St 805]

One for the believers. 

Fantastic post-match interview with Nathan Jones here: http://m.melbournefc.com.au/video/2018-08-19/rd-22-nathan-jones-postmatch

Talks about dealing with what must have been a crippling weight of expectations over a 12 year period, and how he has grown as a leader, learning more about himself and footy over the last 2 years than ever before.

Dees’ fans, time to cast aside the veil of negativity for good, and start believing.

Perfect record against the Weagles at the new ground 2 from 2.

Only played them there once I believe, but still 100% record.

last year was at domain stadium (subi).

Somebody please just hold me as I sob. 

I cried. 12 years of hell. Of being the butt of jokes. Of being pitied and laughed at all at once. Yeah, I cried. What happens next will either be [censored] or gold, but, for the first time in a long time they didn't break my heart when something that mattered was on the line.

Rewatching the last quarter Dean Kent what an effort. Tackling and inferred pressure was incredible and well and truly earnt his spot.

If we win and Freo beat Collingwood we finish fourth. I’m barracking for that!

Oh, me too - but after this week, and with the pies obviously keen to keep top 4, I just can't see Freo winning. I mean, I'll take it haha, but I just can't see it happening.

We beat West in West. Not even tigers could do that

Took them ages to play "It's a Grand Old Flag". Had to take their song out of the cassette and find ours. They are so used to winning there. Surely our win there last year may have given them a clue.

So glad he is back.  Have always liked him and his early season form in the seniors was very good, even if only for a couple of games before he got hurt.

And how about that clutch goal.. must have felt amazing for him.

Anyone know what the busy up with lecras and Jetta was about ?

I suspect something very inappropriate was said by LeCras in frustration. Jetta was livid and LeCras seemed to be trying to apologise after the initial scuffle. That is how it looked to me anyway.

Goody said it was about if it was a mark or not.

The look in Jetta’s eyes says otherwise...

I'm so delirious that I would even give a Stuie post a like.

Yeah, I don't buy that. Maybe Goody is being diplomatic, or Nev wanted to be the bigger guy after it all, but I don't think it was about a mark. Nev was wayyyy too angry.

Spargos running and repeat efforts show why he plays over Garlett 

Great aerial work in contests by Weid

Weideman showed me something today that I didn't know was in him. The way he attacked the ball in flight was fantastic, he clunked one or two and with a bit more luck would've had a lot more. Some more experience and he'll be smashing packs and grabbing marks.

I've loved Spargo since his first game, still needs to learn not to drop in and out of games but there was one effort in particular (3rd quarter) where he got that ball on defensive wing, ran forward kicked then buttered up at the next contest. Kids gonna be a player, he has heart.

If so, not sure why Jetta would be losing it like he was. You would just walk away as you had won. I think Goody was either guessing or hosing it down.

There was more to it. We haven’t seen Jetta get that worked up before that I can remember.

Roos must be emotional about this as well, I reckon. He came to the team at its lowest, and would have seen everything. He helped to pick us up off the canvas. This would please him to no end. Good man.

Good move by the coaches to sub him on at 3/4 time.

I'm not sure why you would bother posting this, especially with the 'precious' line at the end.

I see no need to bother with a slanging match, especially after we've just secured a finals spot with an incredible win.  Let's put all the other stuff aside and agree, for once, to enjoy it as Melbourne fans!
