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. 


Another relaxing night in front of the tv. Neighborhood cats have headed for the hills and police attending disturbance

All I can say is this .......Rivers!!!!!!


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.

Those last 30 seconds took an eternity. 
 

Go Hawks

Go Suns

Go Giants (big win please)

Go Freo

Go Port

Go Dees!

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.

Where was that endeavour the last two games, praytell.

That's what we all would like to know?


No voice left..took a second mortgage out for countless drinks at the Gabba. So stoked we got up. 

Rivers you star!

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: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

  • PREGAME: Gold Coast

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
