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.

    • NON-MFC: Round 06

      The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.
