How good was Viney...an absolute pest to their stars. You can just tell that he loves getting under the skin of Ablett, Selwood etc. 

I wasn’t sure how he would go last night but upon reflection a final was his perfect comeback game. He is built for finals - as hard as they come, manic attack on the ball and ball carrier and a real hunger for physicality. 

I thought he rely set the tone early and showed why he is a Captain of our great club. He oozed leadership and intensity in the opening minutes and really set the tone.

I bloody love the bloke!

    Such a great win last night, was a real grind at times, the one thing that i absolutely loved was just how tough we're now. We're Built for finals footy.  Unsure how many of you saw the Melbourne faithful cheering Roosey at the end of the game on Fox Footy.  You could see how emotional he was getting.  Was Brilliant.

     

    Go Dee's

    When lining up to get into the G, Roosy walked through to a massive cheer from everyone, he couldnt help himself he stopped and took it all in with a bit of a smirk on his face.

    Not a captain’s [censored] is Joel Selwood. Selfish self entitled little whining sook. M

    Massive error this one. Killed all their momentum. Hawkins losing his shot on goal as a result too, couldn’t have happened to a nicer [censored]. 

    I couldn’t sleep and I feel hung over. Didn’t even drink. Worth it.

    Just watched Chris Scott’s Press Conference. The guy is a complete [censored] in the coaches box, but his presser post game was all class.

    That was a huge moment. 

    That little gem happened on the Member's side in front of the i/change bench.  Hawkins was lining up for goal in front of the Southern stand from a spot  where he had kicked one earlier.  Umpire took the ball off Hawkins and paid a free against Selwood. 

    They had the momentum by keeping us goalless in the second quarter and if Hawkins kicked that goal the lead would have been just 15 points with nearly a half of footy still to play. 

    Selwood cost them the momentum and thereafter they lost structure and composure. 

    They looked like the Finals Rookies!!  

    Yep, a real Captain's game from Selwood!  In the past he got away with that stuff but not last night! 

     

    A very late edit:  Apparently, the free kick against Selwood was paid by the Emergency Umpire.  Didn't know that was allowed.  The guy deserves a medal.  Hope he umpires our games in future!

    It was clear that he decided during the half time break to rough us up.  Early in Q3 he was tackled by a Melb player (cant recall who) in a regulation no-damage tackle and Selwood went for him afterwards out of all proportion.   Good to see he carried on with that...

    What an incredible night. Felt like 75% Dees,  the noise and spirit in the G was unbelievable. 

    Seeing Dangerwood both lose their [censored] was just beautiful karma after their actions at the cattery.

    Got home at midnight,  cracked a cab sav and nearly teared up watching the replay!  Bed at 3!

    Could someone please remind me how many games has Melbourne won against fellow top 8 clubs?

    I know that is rhetorical but just for the record:  3 in the last 3  weeks!  If we add a small loss to Syd that would be 4 from 4! 

    Can't beat a top 8 side they say!  Well that and all the other negative narratives from the empty brained media commentators will no longer see the light of day. 

    A new day has dawned!

    My favourite anti Geelong moments was all the booing directed at Ablett in the second half.  Doubt he has heard that before!

    Some were saying he was past it a few months back and whilst he is no longer our most dominant mid (too much competition), I think Jonesy's last month has been awsome.  Just keeps going about it in a tough, uncompromising, workman like manner and has been bobbing up and ramming home some important goals. Recon guys like Harmes, Brayshaw and Olivet walk taller with him around.

    Funny you say that.  I nearly wrote 3 down, 3 to go!  But a lingering tinge of MFCSS stopped me - you know the counting chickens thing...

    ...but I'm with you all the way FF!

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
