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.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
