The love for that fat man baby Ablett from the commentators. What a joke. 

Yes he’s been a superstar but he was crap last night. He isn’t a champion everytime he lays a tackle. Seriously!

    We’ve done well. This is now a free hit. Very proud of what we’ve achieved and beating the Cats who are one of our bogey sides is a big deal.

    Just watched Jetta on this

    http://www.afl.com.au/stats/stats-pro#/discover/CD_I281280/Jetta-Neville

    If anyone has seen a better 7 possession game in defence...well, 

    And his AFL ratings are below, which really make a mockery of what is useful in providing value to a side...

    Our forward pressure was insane. We will go a long way to winning next week if we replicate that performance AND nail those scoring opportunities. 

    We must convert our scoring opportunities next week. We won’t win kicking 1 goal 10 against the Dorks and we won’t get as many opportunities as last night.

    If it goes Cats, Hawks, Pies, Tigers, that will be pretty much the perfect 4 opponents.

     Breaking through the 2 teams who have given us the most pain through our dark years, then a preliminary final vs our ancient foe. Then a GF vs the defending champions. You couldn't script that better, and there's no 4 teams I'd like to beat more than them if we could do it.

    One week at a time though… 

    And it would mean we play each final at the MCG rather than having to go to Perth.

    Hopefully the AFL takes note of what happens when you give the dees a Friday night game in Melbourne.

    You get 91K fans and a cracking game.

    take note again next week afl, before working the fixture for next year.

    I think Gawny had a crack about Melbourne playing two Friday nights in a row during his interview with Eddie on Fox last night.

    Jordan Lewis just said on 3AW, the crowd last night was in the top 3 crowds he’s ever played in front of. He said the noise and support for us was phenomenal.

    No more clapping (polite applause) allowed !!!   only yell and scream for the mighty Dees.

     

    Make Noise... and Raise Hell Demons.

    An understandable mistake dc. That fellow is a very stylish dresser. I suspect we share the same tailor and fashion consultant.

    Never had this feeling before at all in my sort life barracking for the Dees... here’s to hoping something maybe brewing very soon!

    A lot of cheap late boat-anchor bumps etc.  A pale image of his former self.

    • 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.
