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: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

    • PREGAME: Carlton

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
