    No.

    We are Melbourne, a sleeping giant, those that were there in 87 understand

    Imagine our next batch of leaders contained Duncan and Guthrie lololol. 

     

    Anyway... the best defensive game I’ve ever seen us play. All over the ground. Even our smaller players looked like physical bullies. Talk about clicking at the right time. We lost the games this year when we couldn’t convert i50s because the backdoor wasn’t shut, tonight it was baracaded. 

    Was only a matter of time until Weed put it all together, again, perfect timing. What a game, so happy for him. 

    Harmes 2.0 is built for the pointy end of the season. What a find, what a compliment to our midfield. 

    Tomald’s first half cleanness was so steadying. Didn’t get the goals but didn’t kill our momentum, he solidified it by dominating up our end. 

    Jack is an animal. 

    Angus is another one made for finals. Going back with the flight on the outer wing was inspiring stuff. 

    Just awesome. So proud. 

    The [censored] Dees!

    We are a team could have absolutely smashed them, we did physically but the scoreboard flattered them.

    Watched it with my 11 year old who jumped off in the dark years when he was 5, but he cheered as hard as I did tonight.

    Cmon boys don't be content with one win enjoy the moment and move on you are seriously becoming good and as the Reverand said in his lead up speech to QB, why not us

    Ability to turn over the ball and immediately win it back was my key take away. 

    Watching Selwood not geting a ducking free kick and paid holding  was my highlight.

    Umpires good

    I'm playing a gig at Lambys in Geelong starting in 30 minutes. I'm already half cut and they're all going to know I'm a Demon

     

    Exact same thing happened to me 20 years ago when my beloved Redlegs destroyed arch-nemesis Port Adelaide in the SANFL GF. Had to play a 21st gig in Port Adelaide redneck territory out in the sticks. They found out I was a Legs' supporter and refused to pay. Also threatened physical violence.

    Amazing feeling, so much Red and Blue everywhere. Boys were immense all night, you could see the boys feed off the noise level and support to keep pushing even when the goals weren’t coming.

    Achievement unlocked: BEAST MODE.

    Just got home from the G, and I don't think I'll get my voice back for a few days. As long as it's there on Friday!

    Our conversion was lacking, but damn we were relentless. Suffocating. Inspired. Animals.

    A really gritty and tough finals performance. No passengers. So many huge moments, you couldn’t help but be emotional. You could grizzle at the conversion and some wasted opportunities but that happens in finals. We put scoreboard pressure on early and didn’t ever let up. 

    I got the feeling that of the 91,000 there (sorry OldDee you were about 36,000 off) 65,000 of them were Dees. The roar when Chunk kicked the winner was spine tingling.

    On to next week and a much different challenge - can we break the Hawks possession game with our running power? Can’t wait!

    Saw your name sake and wiz tonight

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
