Can someone tell Petracca we won. Jesus. 

That's a bloke who knows that the job isn't done.  That's the maturity we want.  Be happy with the win, but we need to focus on next week very quickly.

    Shows us that he knew the pressure was on us, knew we were not good enough in Cairns, and knows it's not done yet.

    Funny - if he's going on about how great we are people would criticise him for overcelebrating, wouldn't they?

    Shame on you @dazzledavey and anyone else who wanted us to lose.

    I might get upset with things at the club but always want my boys to win

    Love Rivers and again Spargo showed his worth

    So the way I see it, we need the Hawks to pull their finger out tomorrow, but if not, either the Saints/Dockers winning sees us make the finals (to most likely be embarrassed by a better team, but hey, you never know)?

    Silly me, getting ahead of myself, we also need to win a crunch, do or die, game against a really poor team...

    Both right. Just his tone sounded liked we'd lost.

    I’ve said it before but I love Langers, his kicking less so.  He was so important in that last quarter.

    You have to wonder if we had snuck a bye in like everyone else over the last 8 weeks if we’d have got over the line in at least one of those other games. 

    The energy level was considerably different tonight.

    The Kids did it and that is our future just there.... At least they didn't chuck it in.  

    Ed Langdon  he is something special.

    Langdon is a gem. His work rate is unbelievable. 
     

    Rivers is a serious find. 
     

    Fun game to watch. Now we wait.

    100% 

    The exact right approach. We're in a position we shouldn't have been, and we have a lot of work still to do.

    Wonderful recruit.  He was everything we needed on the wing.

    Now, if someone like Baker can also step up to play a consistent game on the wing, then we would REALLY have something.

    Any chance of the Hawks pulling off a hail Mary tomorrow?

    Or a GCS win would be almost as good. Pies have Port in the last round. Both would be ideal!

    If only the whole game was just that last quarter. The rest of it made me feel sick. They tried to cheat us out of the win but the boys found a way. Thanks Rivers, Langdon, Trac, Spargo, May....add who you want.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
