We've been harsh on Goody and the boys and rightly so,  but I'm extremely proud of this effort tonight. Superb. 

Enjoy all!

    Baker stood up, May is awesome and after all the negative publicity around him last year I hope the media give him the praise he deserves. A great season. 

    Langdon, wow just awesome, his gut running is fantastic. 

    A great win and well done melbourne

    While he didn't hit the scoreboard, I thought Mitch Brown was good for us tonight.  13 touches and 7 marks and he got up the ground to give us a target as well.  His experience was on full display throughout this game.

    Makes the decision to drop him last week for Preuss look even worse than it already did.

    Great observation I thought the same.

    Agreed. Looked good down back when he was there too. Cool head. Underrated player imho.

    We won a tight contested game that mattered. That is a good result.

    We play essendon next week.

    Hope that gold coast can beat the filth.

    Let’s hope that we don’t do the Melbournian thing next week.

    Pity the little b got up though. Would have been Melksham’s best moment for weeks.

    A great win indeed.

    But job is not done. Glad the players didn't over celebrate. Job is not done, as we need a few things to go our way.

    On a personal note, I'm very proud of Charlie Spargo. Kid (yes he is only 20 years of age) cops it more then any other player on our list, and to see him play a significant role in tonight's win kudos to his extreme hard work off field.

    He's one of the few forwards we have with actual 'football sense'. A few good tap on, that kick he managed to hoik back to the goal sqaure. Happy with his performance.

    No I'm with you here. 

    His work rate was immense, and gave us a good target, especially in the 3rd quarter.

    Only in hindsight.

    Brown was poor against Swans, and has been mediocre all year. Still, hope he can back it up against his old club, hard to see him getting dropped on that performance.

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

    This!! If we could sneak in at Collingwood’s expense...

    Bizarre that we were playing a crippled TMac for so long ahead of him. Truly some odd team selections this year

    It beggars belief that with a wet windy day in Cairns forecast, we dropped him for Preuss to play Preuss as a forward last week.

    If you want to reduce the season down to one major mistake, that maybe is it.

    Rubbish. Hindsight just confirmed how bad of a decision it was.

    In what world is Preuss a forward? Particularly given the weather conditions we knew was coming (we picked the side 24 hours beforehand). Brown mightn't have been amazing against St Kilda, but he wasn't terrible either.

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

    Can’t see it happening but who knows. I’ll be going for them for the first time ever.

    I really did not see that coming.

    Lever made mistakes early but he and May in the final quarter were huge.

    Rivers is a gem.

    Spargo certainly did his job. Pickett much improved. Baker gave us a second wing.

    Keeps hope alive for one more week at least. And was a great game to boot.

    Have to say i was super critical of Lever  and i stand by it, but he had a terrific last qtr. Good on him.

    • PREVIEW: West Coast

      It was bad enough that the Melbourne Football Club created yet another humiliating scenario inside its wretched season at Marvel Stadium last Sunday, but the final insult is that it has been commanded to return to the scene of the crime to inflict further punishment on its fans this week. Incidentally, if this match preview, of a game that promises to be one of the most unattractive fixtures in the history of the game, happens to cut out of your computer screen three quarters of the way through, it’s no coincidence. I’ll be mirroring the Demons’ lacklustre effort against St Kilda from last Sunday when they conceded the largest last quarter turnaround for victory in the history of the game.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.
