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.

    • 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.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.
