Besides Ryan and Kelly, anyone else think that looked more like rugby? Great win WCE. Dees, Giants, Saints choking it up

    Extraordinarily poor loss by St Kilda.

    Were gifted the win at the selection table with all those West Coast outs, AND McGovern pulling a hammy before half time.

    St Kilda, Essendon and Melbourne kind of remind me of each other.

    Clean players that can kick and a ruck that hits the ball to dangerous spots, that was the difference

    Great pressure goal by Kennedy in the last quarter. Can't help but like him. Honest no bull****e old fashioned full forward- should get more accolades than he does.

    Fantastic result for our #Bradbury2020 plan. If Saints lose to GWS after we beat them then we’ll take their spot.

    Yes i don’t understand why Max can’t play the same way. Can’t these guys work out set plays during the week. 
    I don’t understand Training at all anymore,  so much theory now.

    Credit where credit is due. The resilience and work ethic of the eagles is something MFC must learn and develop ge I admire them. With so  many injuries and lose McGovern early headed by the saints and they fight back. That is the culture I want to see at Melbourne.

    Nic Nat threatens to take the ball and kick it.

    Makes it much harder to predict and defend. Gives their mids just that little more space

    Gawn in the ruck tends to be traditional and predictable.

    Jackson rucks Nic Nat style so fingers crossed

    A question.

    If we were missing the equivalent players that WC were tonight, could we have produced a come from behind win in ****ty conditions, in a clutch game?

    Mids coach: now gather round and we'll work through some scenarios. Now pretend I'm Max, and say I tap the ball to--

    Viney: Ball? Someone say ball? GIVE ME BALL (he dives on the ball)

    Oliver: NO GIVE ME BALL

    Harmes: NO GIVE ME BALL

    Viney: NO GIVE ME BALL

    Jones: NO GIVE ME BALL

    Brayshaw: NO GIVE ME BALL

    Mids coach: *sigh*

    Not necessarily,  there is currently a 57 point differential in our percentage. Depending on how much Gws beat them we'd need to win both games by around 9 goals  combined currently.

    Surely the money has to be a dead-eye 55m Daniher bomb after the siren relegating us to 9th after we knock GWS off by 15 goals Sat night.

    Wouldn’t it be nice if we could somehow draft a player like Kelly with a pick in the twenties.

    How far off is our list compared to West Coast, they have a heap of good players on the injury list but I still think they would thrash us.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
