Big difference when you bring the tackling pressure

Tell me we won without telling me we won:

Having a half-decent forward line this week helped too.

Or this:

We're never going to beat any of the top teams kicking 4 goals 10 in the second half of a game.

(Just in case dr d and osilik can't bring himself to post after a win like that)

Port had the better of us and put us under a lot of pressure early in the third but we showed fantastic composure and resilience  to outscore them by the end of that quarter. 
A fantastic bounce back from last week.
Petty was very good with some mammoth spoils and did Gus play with one eye working only? Thought I saw that shiner and closed eye as early as the 1st quarter, brave effort.


Great win, we were much better for 70% of the game , more accurate set shots and take away some Port goals due to crappy umpire decisions and we win by 50+

Viney needs to be commended for his defensive job on Wines, he was basically a non factor. Viney offence stuff will come.

 

 

I think Port played very well tonight and despite the score...they are a tough side.

That was a big win and great to see us back to our best.

Our forward line was not empty like last week

Bb was a better option than two talls by far.

I saw a team playing premiership type football tonight.


I could tell tonight in the 4th quarter we had this game, we have a way of controlling the game when we are “on” and it is excellent. We just controlled that last quarter beautifully. A great game, so proud of the boys.

Also forgot to mention. I'm not an umpire basher but apparently HTB doesn't exist in Adelaide and most certainly doesn't apply to Motlop.

Reckon we secured Top 4 tonight. Massive win.

 

Yep, you’d think (not getting ahead of ourselves) that gets us in the top 4.

Gotta turn up the next 2 weeks. No easy games, especially with how we turn up against sides lower on the ladder.

Go you good things. Spargs looks like he could be saddling up for the first at Caulfield.


Ha, ha, ha, ha ....the Goody haters got to hate.

How dumb do you all look tonight???

No need to name names, you know who you are....

Hahahahahahahahahahahaahah.

Moronic posts over the last few weeks.

The season is long, we were always going to have a down period.

Hahahahahahahaha

 

That was a great win

Welcome to the side Ben Brown

Viney is a concern and so is our goal kicking

but a great pressure game, the same way that last week wasn’t

We must get more consistent before THE FINALS

Imagine if we ever convert more than 50% of our shots on goal. What a time to be alive that would be!

He was a concern SWYL but perhaps not as big a concern as last week imo

 

 

Meggs was super impressed with Harry Petty tonight, he thought it was the Number 35’s best game in the Red and Blue! 

Ben Brown played well despite not kicking a goal. 

Tmac said something like bb was really good today 

Leppa said something like he has played his roll well tonight 

J Watson said something like the coaches would like that he is bringing the ball to ground ground if he doesn’t mark it and bring in the smalls  

Also it would have been nice if the umps at least called ONE out of about 5 or 6 push in the back frees against him. 

Let the bb haters hate.

  • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

    The media has performed a complete reversal in its coverage of the Melbourne Football Club over the past month and a half. Having endured intense criticism from all quarters in the press, which continually identified new avenues for scrutiny of every aspect, both on and off the field, and prematurely speculated about the departures of coaches, players, officials, and various employees from a club that lost its first five matches and appeared out of finals contention, the narrative has suddenly shifted to one of unbridled optimism.  The Demons have won five of their last six matches, positioning themselves just one game (and a considerable amount of percentage) outside the top eight at the halfway mark of the season. They still trail the primary contenders and remain far from assured of a finals berth.

  • REPORT: Sydney

    A few weeks ago, I visited a fellow Melbourne Football Club supporter in hospital, and our conversation inevitably shifted from his health diagnosis to the well-being of our football team. Like him, Melbourne had faced challenges in recent months, but an intervention - in his case, surgery, and in the team's case, a change in game style - had brought about much improvement.  The team's professionals had altered its game style from a pedestrian and slow-moving approach, which yielded an average of merely 60 points for five winless games, to a faster and more direct style. This shift led to three consecutive wins and a strong competitive effort in the fourth game, albeit with a tired finish against Hawthorn, a strong premiership contender.  As we discussed our team's recent health improvement, I shared my observations on the changes within the team, including the refreshed style, the introduction of new young talent, such as rising stars Caleb Windsor, Harvey Langford, and Xavier Lindsay, and the rebranding of Kozzy Pickett from a small forward to a midfield machine who can still get among the goals. I also highlighted the dominance of captain Max Gawn in the ruck and the resurgence in form in a big way of midfield superstars Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver.

  • POSTGAME: Sydney

    The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.

  • CASEY: Northern Bullants

    The Casey Demons travelled to a windy Cramer Street, Preston yesterday and blew the Northern Bullants off the ground for three quarters before shutting up shop in the final term, coasting to a much-needed 71-point victory after leading by almost 15 goals at one stage. It was a pleasing performance that revived the Demons’ prospects for the 2025 season but, at the same time, very little can be taken from the game because of the weak opposition. These days, the Bullants are little more than road kill. The once proud club, situated behind the Preston Market in a now culturally diverse area, is currently facing significant financial and on-field challenges, having failed to secure a win to date in 2025.
