    Umpires gifting them the momentum killing breaks. The boys still got to work. We are peaking at the right time

    The worst umpiring in a final in living memory wasn't enough to shake their determination.

    Destroying Hawthorn was strangely unfulfilling .

    We seek the grail.

    Imagine beating Hawthorn to make a prelim then seeing BT’s head bopping around the changerooms.

    Yuk.

    I'm just looking through the stats.  I can't believe how little ball we had.  Our mids seemed to be everywhere, but only three players went over 20 disposals.  The Hawks had more inside 50s as well.  The stats really don't look like us winning by 30+ points and kicking over 100 points.

    How good was Melkshams goal from 50 on the left foot to halt Hawthorns run.

    Completely against the run of the umpires.

    No passengers tonight, just 22 guys willing to put their heads and body on the line to win a contested ball. I have never in my 54 years supporting this club have seen and heard a Melbourne crowd like that.

    Just an incredible game. We were sat in front of the Hawks standing area - an arrogance of Hawks.

    Such great character in this team. As others have said, it is the future for these young guys that is so exciting.

    This season has surpassed expectations by some distance. To have made the finals was already a big tick, but to win two finals ... phenomenal. Team is maturing before our eyes.

    Now watch Goodwin win coach of the year. (toss up between him and Clarkson).

    Clayton Oliver was hilarious on Roaming Brian.   Totally took the [censored] out of BT.

    Felt so different at the ground to last week. Last week was emotional and a celebration, this was more like a difficult job at the coal face, done with minimum of fuss, and are rostered on for next week.

    So happy that we had the honour of ending their year. What a night.

    So at the start of the season I think we all agreed that finals was the minimum acceptable result.  Pretty sure we're all happy with what we've achieved now.  Let's just hope we manage two more.

    Also, a bit of Spargo love please. Not big numbers, but all of them seem to be important numbers, and great to see him getting on the end of a couple.

    • 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.
