My 55+ years of supporting Melbourne, all in one quarter. Stuff me that was gut wrenching. And Jake Leve might have just earned his salary - great last quarter.

    Outside of the 2nd quarter you dont want to know. Trust me.

    So watching the replay might be a bad idea? 

    All I heard was Hunt kicked 4, Fritta missed a few but came good and Joel Smith played well on Daniher. 

    That last part could be wrong, but it's what I heard and read!

    Rivers wins it for us again. WHAT A PLAYER! I spilled my coke when Sheil kicked that goal. Usual Melbourne made the easy hard. Fritsch and Hunt played well. Salem, Oliver, Petracca and Gawn excellent.

    Good: Brown. He's Pederson mk 2 - not particularly talented, but always gives it everything, and played a blinder today. 13 Marks. Wow.

    Bad: Melksham. How he made it through the year without getting dropped is staggering.

     

    Yep. Brown should have been in long time ago.

    Heave ho away we go. We are the Freo dockers

    An Andy Brayshaw kick for a Hogan mark and goal post siren would be lovely.

    For the win obviously. Not just like for a random useless goal. 
     

    A good 30% performance. As always. Fall apart under pressure.

    Hopefully Jesse can do us a favor tomorrow. Not sure how we win a final with Weideman in this form. anonymous again today.

    Wonder if that’s enough to get Trent the nom.

    Brown/Hunt played for their Futures today. Happy with both of their performances

    Hunt is always going to be a limited player, but geez he's a weapon when he gets it streaming towards goals. 4 goals from a fringe player is a great effort.

    What a weird (lame) hollow victory.

    The players seemed to feel that way with their muted reaction after the siren.

    Melksham this season averaging around 50 in Supercoach, less than 10 disposals and less than a goal a game.

    That's pretty much today, for 17 games.

    Shocker.

    As t. Uranus said;

     

    Well, we won.

    Only played one good quarter but, to be fair, it was a good quarter.

    As bad as the fourth quarter was, our core players stood up in the final 5 minutes to get the last two steadying goals.

    Really impressed with Hunt's game, 4 goals a good reward. Gawn, Oliver, Salem, Petracca and Langdon all played really well. Weideman's stats won't show it but I thought his workrate was good and he created opportunities for us

     

     

     

    Just watch the 2nd ...it was a ripper.

    If we make the 8, we deserve to play finals.

    If we miss, we don't.

    Why do the Dogs deserve it any more than we do if they lose to Fremantle and finish the season with a worse record than us?

    Carlton finished 9th in 2013 and still beat Richmond who finished 5th. Then nearly won the semi final the following week. You never know.

    Both Melksham and T Mac signed until the end of 2022 on decent money

    Not looking great in hindsight

    Up there with the Goodwin 4 year signing and Tomlinson for 4 years @ $500K ?

    I reckon the Eagles will be barracking for the Dockers tomorrow as well   they would rather play us than the dogs

    Why would anyone post that? He wasn't on Daniher.

    He gave up 3 goals to Stewart. And gave up a shocking handball turnover in the middle of the ground, and otherwise gave us nothing. Was just a bad game from someone who shouldn't be playing IMO.

    • REPORT: Brisbane

      “Max Gawn has been the heart and soul of the Dees for years now, but this recent recovery from a terrible start has been driven by him. He was everywhere again, and with the game in the balance, he took several key marks to keep the ball in the Dees forward half.” - The Monday Knee Jerk Reaction: Round Ten Of course, it wasn’t the efforts of one man that caused this monumental upset, but rather the work of the coach and his assistants and the other 22 players who took the ground, notably the likes of Jake Melksham, Christian Petracca, Clayton Oliver and Kozzie Pickett but Max has been magnificent in taking ownership of his team and its welfare under the fire of a calamitous 0-5 start to the season. On Sunday, he provided the leadership that was needed to face up to the reigning premier and top of the ladder Brisbane Lions on their home turf and to prevail after a slow start, during which the hosts led by as much as 24 points in the second quarter. Titus O’Reily is normally comedic in his descriptions of the football but this time, he was being deadly serious. The Demons have come from a long way back and, although they still sit in the bottom third of the AFL pack, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel as they look to drive home the momentum inspired in the past four or five weeks by Max the Magnificent who was under such great pressure in those dark, early days of the season.

    • CASEY: Southport

      The Southport Sharks came to Casey. They saw and they conquered a team with 16 AFL-listed players who, for the most part, wasted their time on the ground and failed to earn their keep. For the first half, the Sharks were kept in the game by the Demons’ poor use of the football, it’s disposal getting worse the closer the team got to its own goal and moreover, it got worse as the game progressed. Make no mistake, Casey was far and away the better team in the first half, it was winning the ruck duels through Tom Campbell’s solid performance but it was the scoreboard that told the story.

    • PREGAME: Sydney

      Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?
