POSTGAME: Rd 18 vs Essendon

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.

Just now, leave it to deever said:

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.

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 ?

If someone posts Smith kept Daniher goalless.... I'll lose it!

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.

    BLOODY BLUES by Meggs

    The conclusion to Narrm’s home and away season was the inevitable let down by the bloody Blues  who meekly capitulated to the Bombers.   The 2024 season fixture handicapped the Demons chances from the get-go with Port Adelaide, Brisbane and Essendon advantaged with enough gimme games to ensure a tough road to the finals, especially after a slew of early season injuries to star players cost wins and percentage.     As we strode confidently through the gates of Prin

    2024 Player Reviews: #5 Christian Petracca

    Melbourne’s most important player who dominated the first half of the season until his untimely injury in the Kings Birthday clash put an end to his season. At the time, he was on his way to many personal honours and the club in strong finals contention. When the season did end for Melbourne and Petracca was slowly recovering, he was engulfed in controversy about a possible move of clubs amid claims about his treatment by the club in the immediate aftermath of his injury.

    2024 Player Reviews: #2 Jacob van Rooyen

    Strong marking youngster who plays forward and relief ruck, continued to make significant strides forward in his career path. The Demons have high hopes for van Rooyen as he stakes his claim to become an elite attacking forward.

    LIVE AND LET DIE by Meggs

    The Demons’ impressive late season charge to finals will most likely come unstuck this Saturday evening when the Bombers blow up the also-ran Blues in the Ikon Park double-header.   To mangle McCartney, what does it matter to ya? To have any chance to play next week Narrm has got a job to do and needs to do it well.  We’ve got to give the Pie sheilas hell, say live and let die! It’s Indigenous Round for this game and the chance to celebrate and engage with Aboriginal and Torres

It remains to be seen whether Simon Goodwin will persevere with him in attack or return him to the backline where he was an important cog in the club’s 2021 premiership success.

    After a bright start to the season, playing mostly in defence, Howes seemed to lose his way in midseason but fought back with some good performances at Casey and finished the year back at AFL level. One to watch in 2024. Date of Birth: 7 March 2003 Height: 191cm Games MFC 2024: 15 Career Total:  15 Goals MFC 2024: 0 Career Total:  0 Games CDFC 2024: 6 Goals CDFC 2024: 0

    Originally an NBL basketballer with the Brisbane Bullets, he moved across town in 2019 to the AFL Lions where he played 19 games before crossing to Melbourne where he was expected to fill a role as a back up ruckman/key forward. Unfortunately, didn’t quite get there although he did finish equal sixth in Casey’s best and fairest award. Date of Birth: 23 February 1999 Height: 198cm Games CDFC: 14 Goals CDFL: 13

    Sadly, had to wrap up a great career in midstream on the back of multiple concussions which culminated in the Maynard hit in the 2023 Qualifying Final. His loss to the club was inestimable over and above his on field talent given his character and leadership qualities, all of which have been sorely missed.
