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!

    Another great thing about this win was that we finally got a 'Roaming Brian' in the Melbourne rooms.

    • REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
