Someone mentioned it earlier, but how did the umpire justify calling play on for the Brown kick that clearly went at least 25 metres in those last 30 seconds?

I've seen kicks go 8 metres and get paid.

That was unbelievable call. Smart play by brown (i assume he had nothing forward). Pay he mark as he should and langdon golds that for 10 seconds and then down the line and its game over. Gave them a chance.

It was actually a really smart kick by Langdon to get it so deep under pressure. It was great he was switched on as he could of easily just assumed the mark was going to be paid and got tackled.

It was touched.  Just after the line.

I've read a lot of posts now saying how good the backline was, and yes, they were brilliant, but we play 18 man defence FFS. It was a team effort. We had stand out performances in May, Petracca and arguably Langdon too, but the team defended the ground and prevented constant slingshot most of the night.

Agree, but they did have 16 more inside 50s than us. The defenders held up repeatedly when St Kilda were mindlessly bombing it in (which was happening in part because they couldn't get through the zone).

The defence is what was missing from last week. We couldn't stop the Dogs' run, but we stopped the Saints' brilliantly.

 

Melbourne said Viney needed the rest rooms. I mean fair play. When you gotta go you gotta go ?

Huge win. Did not see that. Goodwin coached well I thought.

Also, Viney did not attend the team song in the end.

Walking off he looked like he cracked the sads..

Did anyone notice this?

Just said on Fox that he had a call of nature, and had to make a rush for the loo...

I'll be the first to admit I was disappointed how we finished the 2nd quarter but also I'm happy to have lost the $50 I had on the Aiints to pocket  another 4 points. Pleased they really gutsed it out for a win. Anyone else like paying for a win. Does anyone remember the Demons incentive plan. Mine normally goes to the TAB these days. 

Rapt to win and there’s a lot of room for improvement, mainly because we have actually lost the clearances three weeks in a row, yet consider that a strength of ours

Makes it even sweeter that they think that. Let them sook.

It was a supreme snsp. Better than his first 70m torp.

Still getting over Mays game.....

Been watching this club for a long time and its hard to remember a more complete game from a defender

Probably sums up the feeling of about 90% of Demonland.

Lucky I went to the bottle shop and stocked up today.   Ugly game,  take the win,  turnover still a massive issue

Turn overs were dreadful. This is the area of our game we need to clean up. Clean those up, bring consistent effort like most of tonight and we take the next step.

vandenBerg, Hannan, Jones and Pickett laid 3 tackles between them.

I love vandenBerg's intent but if he's not tackling, I'm just not sure why he's playing.

I'd like to see the pressure act stat (does anyone know if it's available anywhere), as I'm sure the FD look at it, and it might be what keeps Pickett in the side.

AFL stats keep once percenters, which interlude pressure acts i think - but i think it takes a day for it to come up

It was touched.. past the goal line.

That was my call. Close. But we got it

Big Maxy, what a great captain.  When asked in an interview what does a big win like this mean, Max's response was that he was  "I'm just proud that we can put a smile on some people's faces back in Melbourne".   Maxy has such a great connection with us supporters with his down to earth, easy going approach.  Love ya Maxy.

You’ve never seen MFC kick so badly around the ground? How long have you been following them? 1 week???

About 30 years.  But that was pretty bad - I can't remember kicking directly to opponents more than today.

Ratten does himself no favours pouting about it. I thought better of him than that. It was a clear goal. Yes it was touched, after it crossed the line. He should accept it. The goal umpire was right there. Ratten's team also got the benefit of some doubtful free kicks. Funny how no coach complains about that.

But but but... doesn’t he just make everyone stand taller*?!

I said after the Pies game he was not great. 
 

*besides Spargo, even on his tippy toes he can’t stand taller. His toes are double jointed, the wrong way, and when he stands on them he actually gets shorter.

I think we can give Richardson a fair amount of that credit!

I had been thinking the same thing.

Sure they ran free at times and certainly got too many “easy” clearances and switches, but having their recent coach on our side of the bench surely made a bit of difference ... and there was only a bit of difference.

saints did it more often than we did. both teams played a half-back game and had multiple players playing intercept roles. Our skills were good for the most part today I thought.

 Ratten should go back to Carlton he doesn't belong in St.Kilda. Cleary his eyesight is gone, I saw it over the line and called a goal but why wasn't it paid a mark it was wasnt it or do I have Rattens glasses on. Close to goal of the year. 

3 May 2 Petracca 1 Goodwin

Fantastic defensive structure.

They wanted to pick us apart the way Geelong did and we didn't let them.

We had a few that did everything they could to give the ball back to them but our setup was so good it didn't hurt us.

  • 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.
