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.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.
