Couldn't watch after Roughead got that free straight in front. Chamomile tea and all notifications turned off so my obnoxious Tigers mates didn't rub it in...

Bugger.

    Loved the grind... not sexy, not frontrunners, a bloody skillful bunch of  hard as nails blokes who are committed to the cause... 

    Built for finals for sure.

    Lessons have been learned on how to steady and wrestle back momentum in those games when teams come charging. 

    This is immensely exciting. Feels different to last week though - I’m overtaken by a weird calm. Great result, but job not done yet. Still going to indulge in a few bathwaters though ;)

    How good was that? For all the talk of how much Viney could contribute so soon after his injury... How BLOODY GOOD WAS HE?

    Woop woop. 

    So satisfying. No super-stand-out performers but a massive team effort overcoming the grind. 

    Go Dees.

    Can honestly say for a bloke from Adelaide that was one of the best nifhts of my life as a Dees supporter. So loud the Dees fans were. [censored] off Hawthorn.

    Much as I loved going last week. Definite advantage to stay at home though. At least won’t be asleep at 1:30.

    The Umpires tried damn hard to take it off us.  Amazing composure to pull control back out of their hands and run away with it.

    Gotta say didnt think we would beat this mob. They have owned us for decades. They smashed us in round 4. Did not understand us being faves. The y came at as hard in the last with the umps on their side. We held fast.

    We are the champio ns. We are the champions.

    We have come a long way.  Men on a mission this year but we'll be playing finals for the foreseeable future as well.  The future is bright. 

    An even contribution from all the team members too.  Goodwin has got us playing as a real team - no weak links,  total team. 

    If we bring the same intensity next week,  we'll win and progress.  Lookout Eagles,  we're coming your way!

    • PREVIEW: West Coast

      It was bad enough that the Melbourne Football Club created yet another humiliating scenario inside its wretched season at Marvel Stadium last Sunday, but the final insult is that it has been commanded to return to the scene of the crime to inflict further punishment on its fans this week. Incidentally, if this match preview, of a game that promises to be one of the most unattractive fixtures in the history of the game, happens to cut out of your computer screen three quarters of the way through, it’s no coincidence. I’ll be mirroring the Demons’ lacklustre effort against St Kilda from last Sunday when they conceded the largest last quarter turnaround for victory in the history of the game.

    • 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.
