I Just watch the replay again and trac was instrumental in the last 10sec I’m getting the ball down to our 50 where Hunt was going to run onto it with 2 hawks to beat. 

Great effort especially considering it was right at the end of the game. 

And with 2.04 to go Tracc won a crucial ball in traffic on the wing and dished off a handball to create the forward entry before the Frost to Lockhart effort

I just got around to watching the replay.  I have to say I am very pleasantly surprised.  Not by the win, but by the manner in which we won.  What we saw here was many of the things we have been asking for implemented and actually working.  I'm fairly certain I saw four Shepherds by Melbourne players at various points.  One of them was unintentional, but that's still three better than in any match previously under Goodwin.  We saw players staying out of the contest so there was an outlet when we won the ball.  We defended a bit further back so that we weren't leaving a great gaping void for the opposition to run into and also creating a bit more space in our forward line.  We had crumbers at marking contests.  While I still saw far too many bombs to the hot spot, in general we were a bit more discerning in our f50 entries.  Honestly, if our players could kick basic set shots like the other teams, we would have won by five goals or more. 

Definitely some of the best bits of our efforts. Good enough to beat Whoreform - a team of champions.

Tick, tick went the clock; great ideas, great efforts went Trac, Frost, Lockhart.

Just in relation to the final few minutes, was that Lockhart kick too far for him to kick (uncertain of his attributes still).

Just found it interesting he slotted it off to Melksham; was that purely to buy time or due to his kicking ability.

 

 

Buying time. Smart. But notice the positioning/nonchalance of the Melk - smart, too.


Coaches votes.  Salem a bit stiff.

 

MELBOURNE v HAWTHORN
10 James Harmes (MELB)
8 Max Gawn (MELB)
4 Liam Shiels (HAW)
4 Clayton Oliver (MELB)
2 Jack Gunston (HAW)
2 Blake Hardwick (HAW)

Law of averages suggests otherwise. If Lockhart misses Hawthorn get the ball with 1:30 left and can take it down the other end and kick a goal. They almost did that anyway but they had less time and all we needed to do was bring it back down to our forwards just once more to win it. 

 

You the know the law of averages is not a law, it is usually a misunderstanding of probability. The multitude of possible outcomes from varying one incident in a dynamic situation like a game of footy is mind boggling. No, I am sure it cost Jayden Hunt a got with 8 seconds remaining. :laugh:

So...  this

I see Frotsy as more of a gazelle - leaping, jumping then running like hell.

Not that my personal opinion counts for anything... I have conceded that when Lever, May and Jetta are fit (and even if Jetta is not fit)...he has a short AFL career ahead of him.... ?

But hey, we are a team that has recruited a whole heap of $hhit brothers...

Cockatoo Collins (s)

Ottens

Holland

Gaspar

etc

etc

erm longevity - the great A.Jakovich

 

Not [censored] brother, but one who at this stage doesn't look like being a contributor compared to his bro (for injury reasons) is KK.

Agree completely 

Watch the Jones goal from the Geelong final last year, Petracca won the loose ball and evaded and dished off to Jones

He's cat-like on the ground, love his presence in the forward 50 contests when the ball is up for grabs 

OMG - have you heard that Geelong have signed him up :-((

I did to...  but i thought a gazelle was to passive, and fearful. 

Frosty isn't like that character.  So I looked further.

  • PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Way back in March we contemplated the possibility of a Demon resurgence after Simon Goodwin’s summer of love. Many issues at the club had seemingly been addressed, key players were returning from injury and a brand new day was about to dawn. We imagined the coach pulling a rabbit out of a hat. The team would roar up the charts, push aside every opponent and make its way to a Grand Final ending in ultimate triumph with Goody and Max holding the premiership cup aloft under a shower of red and blue ticker tape.

  • AFLW REPORT: Western Bulldogs

    We’re back! That was fun. The Mighty Dees’ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commanding 48-point winover the Western Bulldogs, retaining the Hampson-Hardeman Cup in style. After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

  • REPORT: Hawthorn

    The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

  • CASEY: Box Hill

    The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

    The final game of the 2025 Season is finally upon us and the Demons may have an opportunity to spoil the Magpies Top 4 aspirations when they face them on Friday Night. Who comes in and who goes out?
