About five weeks ago a player " Believe it was May" made a statement in an interview about how stung the players were about the Bulldog practice game. They set themselves for this a long time ago. 

 

Reckon the Weid can build on his 2nd half tonight.
Needs a confidence boost and might've got a little hit tonight.
Got a couple marks to stick.
Kicked 2 from 3.
Gets his hands on just about everything.
I'm backing him in to start holding a few more.
Reckon he's gotta relax, trying too hard.
Feeling the pressure to hold his spot.

He is a weapon Brayshaw. Been harping on about him for weeks rag dolled Bont on 3-4 occasions.

Huge result lads.

He shut down the whole wing....

 

We make our opponents look ordinary. 

Bounced back.

Clean football, very little fumbling.

Good use of taggers.

Good coaching.

Jordon, Lever, Oliver, Harmes, Tracc, Tmac, Spargo, Rivers, Petty, Hibbs, all good.

Melky and Weids on thin ice, IMO.

Still need to take our chances when kicking for goal. 

Have plenty of upside and can expect more improvement as the season unfolds. Accuracy, finding separation when offensive, not flying for the same mark (did Weids spoil Fritta), taking the first option, not fumbling easy marks, a few more shepard's, Salem and Hunt had average games, so missed that fast ball through our corridors. 

We will miss Langdon, he is so important with him running hard and fast all game. 

Friday night footy with a win, we can enjoy the rest of the weekend's games and get talked about in all the shows.

On the jumper clash. Wow, lots of difference in them, made even more when the white shorts are on. Disappointing, for all the  broadcasters talking it up. The indigenous players feeling extra pride and then the let down. Why can't the MFC stand up to the AFL, like the others. Dreamtime game was played with much more clash. I guess the unveiling will be even more special in the Alice.

He wasn’t actually to bad in the first half, he was hitting the contest breaking packs and bringing the ball to ground. His first half was very much a nearly game. I was thinking he’s close to taking a few clunks here and getting some confidence 


$4.50 outright flag Fav . Trac and Ollie 2nd and 3rd fav for the Brownlow and sitting a game clear on top of the ladder. Don't wake me up I'm enjoying this dream.

Can’t agree, as once again there was horrible inconsistency around the tackle rules. Better than last week most certainly, and evenly distributed to both teams, but still woefully unpredictable. I have no idea which way they’ll decide on tackles more than 70 percent of the time. Needs fixing. 

We won. And we deserved to win. Stop whinging.


After watching the Dees beat the Dogs tonight, I have just calmed down just enough to be able to read and write. I do this after texting several of those closest to me sending messages of congratulations after tonight's's great Melbourne victory over Western Bulldogs. I have so many positive emotions going on right now. The first is my  absolute joy of watching the Dees maintain unrelenting pressure for 4 quarters during this evening's top or the table match against the Dogs, and watch them take down the temporary league leaders and reclaim it for us all!. Top of the Ladder. Earned it the hard way! The second is after 57 years of supporting the Melbourne Football Club, I, not for the first time, but for the most confident time, believe. A new whiff wafts and I like it. On so many occasions over the past weeks and months, whilst wearing my scarf with pride - not just to the footy but also in public and to work (like I have done for years), random strangers, old friends, and other unexpected people are now approaching me and having lengthy discussions with me about the MFC and how well we are doing. The third is I am so proud to be able to tell them I am a member of the MFC.  These discussions have all been positive and I continue to enjoy them very much. I believe I may well be the most elderly continuous supporter of the the Melbourne Football Club to have not been alive when Melbourne last won a premiership. Having been born in October of MCMLXIV I challenge any MFC supporter to knock me off my mantle.

great win!! I love it when Harmes gets a run with role. He seems to thrive on it. 

I also thought Petty played super well and hopefully gets a lot of confidence from tonight.  Clayton Oliver quite possibly leading the Brownlow right now.

 


Can I just say that Harmes ‘played on’ Libba and was great getting him out of the slot at stoppages but that was not a hard tag. 

He had 23 touches. You can’t carry a tagger these days. 

Harmes was fantastic and showed why he came back into the side quickly.

Love it. 54.5 years for me.
All this winning is not good for my liver.
Watching the Giro and getting p****ed on a Friday night rather than p***ed off on a Sunday arvo.
Yeeew

I said during the week if it's one player to shut down Weightman it's Rivers.

Took him to the absolute cleaners and completely nullified him out of the game.

The aesthetics of the game get a great run in the media. Attractive football and all that jazz.

Do you want to be a team that scores freely or a team that is hard to score against.

Answer: Just win baby.

He has such an annoying head. Seems a [censored]. 
 

I will say one thing. Our goal kicking is going to hurt us badly one day. We miss too many regulation shots.

My liver empathises with your liver. Let's hope they cope with many more Friday victories (and any other day ending with day...)

Yet another brilliantly planned coaching performance. Time to extend his contract 

Lock Chocco up also?

 

I am so impressed with so many of the players in this team. Petty was a gun today, harmed went ballistic, Brayshaw played so [censored] well, rivers was a tank particularly for someone his size, Jordan was all time. And then to top it all off, Sparrow is sitting there as the medical sub ready to tear someone’s head off and whilst his 40 seconds tonight wasn’t enough I have no doubt he will make someone want to quit AFL in the coming weeks. I love this team.

  • NON-MFC: Round 15

    As the Demons head into their Bye Round, it's time to turn our attention to the other matches being played. Which teams are you tipping this week? And which results would be most favourable for the Demons if we can manage to turn our season around?

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
