Chris Judd thinks we celebrated too hard.

I loved the celebration of Jones after the win. I would have been more worried to see no reaction.

Judd was suggesting we walk off the ground with game faces still on, in full finals focus - nah. Let them celebrate for a whole 30 minutes FFS.

If we win against GWS, I would expect to see more of a finals focus, not after breaking a 12 year hoodoo, against the odds, in hostile territory.

Go you good things

Wow people are ready to defend Jack Watts in the other thread to the hilt but when a champion of the game has a say you’re all ready to get the knives out. Can not believe the double standards. Judd is an icon of the game who has walked the walk and tasted success so he probably knows a little about what he’s talking about. Watts wouldn’t be Judd’s bootlace.

Judd has actually been a big advocate for Melbourne this year. Called Hogan the best player in the league based on form at one stage of the season.

i still think it’s a silly comment as the celebrations are totally justified and doesn’t mean the players are satisfied with anything, but his heart is in the right place ?

For sure mate. I feel more connected to this group than ever after seeing their reactions after the game. All this year we were wondering if they felt the pain that we did and there were some telling images that you just couldn’t orchestrate if you tried yesterday. Let them have it!

Thought he was really complimentary?

I guess they gotta say SOMETHING. It's a whole hour of TV he needs to talk through.

If you break down what he says though, he pretty much points out they deserve to celebrate like they did, but that they're a lot better side than maybe they think they are. That's a pretty powerful statement. Really liked the bit about "To have finals success you have to have a lot of non human behaviours." I've seen a lot of teams over the years play like unemotional robots, and then let it loose once the big one is won.

I reckon he's wrong. He's forgot to factor in where the club has been the last decade (when he could have come to us)... but his overarching point I thought was quite complimentary, and not ridiculous.

We'll know on Sunday evening whether he was right or wrong.

In any case there is a job to be done. I have criticised Goodwin for his absolute monotone straight bat media appearances but I think if it is ever going to be a case of keeping the players grounded he is probably the man to do it. In fairness he was very measured in our losses (and our wins) so he is likely to keep the players focused this week.

But if we don't lay a tackle in the first 15mins against GWS I take all of that back....:)

I suppose that means he's always right then?

This is true. He's been resolute in his belief in where MFC are heading, even when the "fail to beat a top 8 team" heat was on us. Given some of the references he's made this year, I suspect he's studied our recent rebuilds, both failed & the current promising one and will apply some of those lessons as he tries to rebuild Carlton. A challenge in which I wish him absolutely no success.

And according to Juddas, Brendon Bolton is doing a fantastic job, plus he tips Carlton every [censored] round (there's blind faith, then there's stupidity).

The bloke doesn't have a clue. May he forever continue as a director on their board, let's see how far down he can bury them (and then wipe his hands innocently clean - smug [censored]).

I havent bothered watching the footage and probably wont but Judd's chicken wings has a point. While it is still mathematically possible for us to miss the finals we shouldnt be celebrating. If Port win by 300 points on Friday then wed better be on our game.

I guess we're stuffed then, as he believes we can win the flag? ?

Looking at the scenes I actually don’t think we celebrated that hard, considering everything we’ve been through you would’ve forgiven Jonesy for doing a victory sprint around the ground. 

It was a big match, it was a tight match, it was relief, but I don’t think we actually celebrated that hard. ?‍♂️

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.

    REMATCH by Meggs

    The Mighty Demons take on the confident Cats this Saturday night at the recently completed $319 million redeveloped GMHBA Stadium, with the bounce of the ball at 7:15pm. Our last game of 2023 was an agonisingly close 5-point semi-final loss to Geelong, and we look forward to Melbourne turning the tables this week. Practice match form was scratchy for both teams with the Demons losing practice matches to Carlton and Port Adelaide, while the Cats beat Collingwood but then lost to Essendo

    WELCOME 2024 by Meggs

    It’s been hard to miss the seismic global momentum happening in Women’s sport of late. The Matildas have been playing to record sell-out crowds across Australia and ‘Mary Fowler is God’ is chalked onto footpaths everywhere. WNBA basketball rookie sensation Caitlin Clark has almost single-handedly elevated her Indiana Fever team to unprecedented viewership, attendances and playoffs in the USA.   Our female Aussie Paris 2024 Olympians won 13 out of Australia’s all-time record 18 gol

    EPILOGUE by Whispering Jack

    I sit huddled in near darkness, the only light coming through flickering embers in a damp fireplace, the room in total silence after the thunderstorm died. I wonder if they bothered to restart the game.  No point really. It was over before it started. The team’s five star generals in defence and midfield ruled out of the fray, a few others missing in action against superior enemy firepower and too few left to fly the flag for the field marshal defiantly leading his outnumbered army int
