And a note on barcodes:  If I give someone a barcode, then there is nothing stopping them also having it for the following week (it is the same number) if they get on Ticketek before me (and stopping me going).  I paid a bucketload over the past 20+ years to be a member of this club, and I am treating my barcodes like PIN numbers right now.

Hmmm I didn’t think about that. You’re right. It’s hard because I don’t want a stadium full of filthy booing West Coast turds, but I don’t pay $700 a year for some [censored] to steal my GF tickets.

Yeah but he's tired and needs a rest....:blink:

I thought that after a poor couple of games from him, but I was wrong. He is going to be a very handy player for us. Has natural footy smarts.

Some chat about Oliver being "looked at" for flopping. I was there but didn't see it. Any thoughts?

Mitchell put him down 60m off the ball. Stupid act. Did he go down too easily. Possibly but why do it that far off the ball?

 

lol of course he flopped. i don't care though. i wanted the free kick!

Max the new record holder for hit-outs, went past Goldstein’s 1058 in a season. 

King Max!!!

That includes finals as did Goldstein.

Max also has the record for H & A at 1000


Melbourne hasn’t won a premiership since 1964 but starved Demons supporters will be buoyed by an unusual statistic that surfaced this week.

An inquisitive Demons supporter asked Twitter stats guru Swamp what the longest streak of improving their win total year on year a team had put together.

Melbourne has steadily improved since bottoming out with just two wins in 2013, doubling its total in 2014 before winning seven in 2015, 10 in 2016, 12 while just missing the finals in 2017 and 15 this season.

Swamp revealed the six year-run did match the record shared by Geelong (1958-63) and West Coast (2001-06).

The icing on the cake? Both those teams won premierships in the sixth year of their streak.

Start dreaming big, Dees fans.

Huge shoutout to our defence. Hawthorn were on top at times but we never coughed up a run of goals like we would have earlier in the year.

Hibberd is so important back there. Frost and OMac have grown. Jetta is a rock. And Lewis is playing his best footy he has played for us in the last 2 weeks.

For those worried about our defence, don't know if many on here realise it, but over the past 10 weeks we average 70 points against, which apparently is one of the best in the league.

 

How about the torp from Frost? It nearly reached the circle. Didn’t know he had this in his bag of tricks. 

This had to have been planned - all of our “rover” group in Brayshaw, Oliver,  Harmes and Gawn were in the immediate area to get the play finished. (Edit: Gawn ended up underneath it - wonder if he underestimated how far Frost could hoof it?)

Great stuff. Replaying these moments are absolutely spine tingling when you’re free of the stress of the match.

Loved Maxy's hanger in defence in Q4, critical time

Also his push forward grab early in Q2 was great to set up the goal

Both of the marks he owned well before the ball arrived, he's really capitalising on his marking ability.


Is there anyway to watch a replay without an AFL Live pass or Foxtel?

How about the scenes in the rooms after. That is what a big finals win looks like. What a ride we are on! 

As Neale said to the group - it is about actions. The Holy Graile is within reach

They flopped from the opening bounce for frees.  All game!  if they look at the flops, they will book half the hawks team.

Does anyone have a link or know what the story is behind the article in the Herald-Sun "Demons Respond To Brutal Hawks Sledge"? Paywall article and just curious to know what was said.

Oliver was simply pushed over, any talk of flopping is idiotic.


Twice in the past month we've been on the ropes at a critical stage. Once in Perth and once last night. On both occasions, someone needed to step up.

Enter Jake Melksham. TWICE!

But yeah nah, a second rounder was WAYYYYY OVERS for him.

It's click bait. Just Roughead calling out that we're choking. I'd expect nothing less...

Don't have HS access but think this was it - McDonald:  "I was getting a bit nervous. A few of the Hawthorn players were telling us, 'don't choke now', but luckily we kicked the next couple to shut them up pretty quick,"

Great response from the Dees!!  Actions speak louder than words!

Don't think so

But if you have access a Telstra mobile or data on Tablet, the AFL live pass is free with you Telstra acct and also data is usually free (unmetered)

What about the "family club" that has more poker machines than any other club. How does that work?

And no desire to get an AFLW team in the formative competition.

Now to get the papers

...and, as expected, Daily Astonished has more Pies pre-game stuff (including Pies bumper sticker included (Vic Traffic Police covert initiative maybe)) than our victory. Great co-cap. pic though.

as for The Age (that once great paper) -switched the lights out at 5.30pm with not a scratch on game.

Great scarf, beanie, wool geurnsey wearing weather though!

And the fireworks, wtf?? So rugby league

The fireworks were arrogant and embarrassing. They stopped them in the second half didn't they?

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

  • AFLW REPORT: St. Kilda

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
