Corky according to post match interview with Ling. He'll be right.

Corky but it won’t be a minor one, could hear the hit from 2nd level. He stayed down a while too.

    Dude you must be watching a different game. Was excellent tonight.

    12 disposals 3 marks and 3 tackles (that I admit I didn't see). That's not excellent.  Needs to play with Spargo's intensity or get dropped.

    Oliver, Spargo, Jordon in the last, effort and skills.

    Backline absorbed everything 

    We can scrap.

    Petty stopped his opponent who was good last week.

    Passengers again.

    Tried to be cute with handballs in the wet

    TMac, well done.

    Good coaching, our structures make us difficult to play well against.

    The opposition think they can have cheap shots at us, we used to take it and wilt. Now we fight back and laugh at them.

    Good hard fought win.

    Harmes was great. it's easy to get excited about the shiny and new (Sparrow), but sometimes the old and worn in is just what you need. I thought he was awesome.

    May was HUGE. 

    Fantastic last 3 quarters.  The extra grunt needed and involved in many critical chains.   little sloppy at times, especially in the first but coming back from a decent lay off.

    Broke plenty of tackles and worked his [censored] off to get to the contest.

    Welcome back son!

    I wasn't able to see the game (but am now enjoying this read!?) so in case they don't feature again anywhere, could someone post 1. RDB singing the Song, 2. The post-match Tom MacDonald.

    Has someone checked if Weideman is ok? Must be swearing at the TV every time Tommy goes near it ?

     

    I loath playing Sydney. We played their way the whole game and still won! Just brilliant.

    Team win.

    They closed down our stars and avenues to goal but we soldiered on.

    Kudos to Jordon, Harmes, TMac etc. who all stepped up.

    They'll be hard to beat if they get a home final, the Swannies.

    A good 8 point win for us in some respects as the swans are going to beat plenty others this year. Just not the dees.

    Oliver and Tomald match winners. 
    I wanted Tomald to go back, I was wrong about that, but I’m not a fan of Petty at all. Looks a level below everyone. 
     

    Jomes Jerdan was great, hard at it. Looks like he’ll end up one of those reliable, tough accumulators. 
     

    Love Spargo’s work rate, that checkside was so cool in traffic. 
     

    I didn’t mind Melksham’s game, did some nice things. 

    Love how Gawn stepped up and said ok Hickey, that’s enough  

    I can’t stand Papley, worst celebrations in sport. 
     

    May ?

    Some of Charlie Spargos efforts in that last qtr were first class. Won’t get stats for them but went a long way to stopping their run. Brilliant stuff!

    TMac was huge tonight and Steven Mays shutdown on Buddy as good as it gets.

    Dammit, was that the first time this year we haven't won the last quarter?  2.1 to Syd 2.2?

    Yes.

    We still are yet to be behind in the fourth quarter at any stage this year, though.

    I'm going (have gone) on record to say I'm sticking fat with Harrison Petty, irrespective of Tom McDonald being an awesome forward again. He's young and inexperienced key defender, but given the chance to settle and develop cohesion with May and Lever, he WILL deliver.

    He kicked one opportunist goal but burnt teammates four five times.

    On this year's form 800k a year is not well spent.

    Centre clearances still give me nightmares (clear as day it was going to be a major issue against Norf), but thank God for Tom McDonald.

    We are better when Jackson is rucking.

    What I like is that we're not depending on the same few players each week and, let's face it, they can't all be best on ground every game.  Last week it was Fritsch driving the bus.  Tonight he was very quiet but TMac and Brown stepped up.

    We've won some games fairly easily, some by a smaller margin and tonight held out for a very tight win.  In every game, we've been challenged at some stage and have fallen goals behind before prevailing.

    These are things that good teams do.

    My only disappointment is that we lost the last quarter (by a single measly point)for the first time this season.

    Go Demons and let's give those horrible Blues a belting next week.

    Completely agreed. Key defenders take time. He will be a good player. Be patient.

    • Harmes was excellent
    • Brown good - can't wait til he's fully fit in another few weeks
    • Spargo massive (metaphorically speaking)
    • T Mac is back, if he wasn't already
    • Desperately need Viney back in - takes so much heat off Trac & Clarry
    • Not convinced on Petty yet but will judge in a few weeks
    • Fritsch terrible, looked lazy, hope he cops a rocket

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

      The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
