Think of all those Essendon supporters who were barracking for us

    I'm just laughing now. Seriously forget about that final 15 minutes. We went over to Perth playing to get our top spot back and we did it. 

    Lets get back to Melbourne and beat Adelaide.

    Actually rate the win very highly, struggling at half time, came out and dominated the 3rd quarter like a good side. 8 free kicks to 1 in the last quarter doesn't lie plus the play on call to Spargo , the free against May for just contesting the mark, good win.

    Luckily we don’t play the bottom four in finals.

    I am glad we got the 4 points but just cannot believe what I have seen. A game put on hold because of lightning ? Maybe I am just too old fashioned. We had them by the balls and that ridiculous break gave them a chance which theu came close to taking.

    Thank the lord we held on there. The end of that game can eat an absolute bag. You wouldn’t read about this [censored]. 

    Glad we hung on but a rubbish effort after break .....  2 minutes away from a shocking defeat   Cannot sleep I am angry with that last effort   as for umpires    boo to the max

    Good:

    - Bowey (my goodness he’s already special)

    - ANB in game 100

    - Jackson Rising Star

    - Brown being the dominant target and holding marks

    - Melksham playing his role

    - Team effort overall

     

    Bad: 

    - Goal kicking (will cost us a final)

    - Umpiring

    - Players not being smart enough to know umpires are hot on them

    - Lightning

    - West Coast supporters

    - Brian Taylor

    Ah Melbourne FC, keeping the cardiac ward at the Alfred hospital well stocked for the past 150 years.

    But thankyou for top 4 and the double chance - much appreciated.

    That was an excruciating finish. My heart was pounding

    Got there just. Thats all that matters. Huge games from Nibbler, Melks, Dogga and Bowey is a ripper.

    Hope WCE fall out of the 8. Their supporters are the worst

    Top spot baby. Forget the last fifteen minute farce (8 frees to 1 btw). We have had a day on a plane, smashed gold coast, jumped on another plane for 3 hours , spent 7 days in quarentine and beat that mob on their home deck.

    Proud of the boys!!

    The finish was crazy.

    Before that though, a lot to like.

    How good were our youth: Jackson, Bowey, Rivers, Jordon all played really great games.

    Brown was so good early, helped us get the early lead and gave us a chop out repeatedly. ANB's forward pressure was immense and he got 2 goals to go with it. Thought Langdon's first half was back to his best but the game wasn't down his wing enough after half time. Harmes improved on last week, Melksham stood up when needed too. Backline was good without being amazing and we still only conceded 18 scoring shots.

    Still want TMac straight back into the forward line to make sure we have two marking options, particularly when Fritsch struggles like he did tonight. And I'm not going to comment on vandenBerg's silly free kicks against.

    Hope Hunt's injury isn't too bad, but we've gone into Perth with no Viney, no Tomlinson, no TMac, Hunt off in the first quarter, then a crazy half hour lightning break in the fourth quarter with West Coast's season on the line, and we've come away with the win which locks in top 4. It's huge. I'm happy.

    We won despite the weather, despite the umpiring, despite the lightning break. Back to the top of the ladder where we belong. Go DEES!

    Top 4 locked away, an away win in hostile conditions against West Coast, top of the table with two games to go. Can’t get much better than that!

    The players gave our fans a bloody big fright but we got the job done!

    • AFLW REPORT: Gold Coast

      The forecast said wind. The ladder said mismatch. The scoreboard said obliteration. Melbourne didn’t just beat Gold Coast — they dismantled them: 13.15 (93) to 0.6 (6). An 87-point obliteration, the Suns held goalless, and the Demons delivering their second-highest winning margin and third-highest score in AFLW history.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #28 Will Verrall

      It was a tough ask for him to break through as a 199cm ruckman in the shadow of an all-time great in that position who is also the club captain. He had some good days at Casey but was unable to progress and was delisted at the end of the season.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #29 Tom Campbell

      The 33-year-old Campbell has yet to play AFL football for Melbourne, but his Casey form has been strong and he has been retained as a ready-made ruck depth option who is widely regarded as someone who is excellent for the culture of the club.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #30 Harry Sharp 

      The Demons acquired an interesting player in Sharp, who narrowly missed securing a spot in the Lions’ premiership team last year. The 22-year-old medium forward played in the opening round this season and ended up with 18 senior games, although he was substituted in or out in for ten of those matches. He demonstrated glimpses of form, but ultimately ended the year on the margins of the team.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #31 Bayley Fritsch

      Worked his way back after a slow start and a further slump in form going into the midseason but became a solid contributor for the club in the latter half of 2025. Closing in on 300 goals for the club.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Gold Coast

      On Friday, the Demons return to our Casey Fields fortress where they have a 77% win rate. The scent of September is in the air and the struggling Suns are on the horizon. The Cranbourne weather forecast? Ominous, like the match itself: a strong chance of carnage. Let’s be honest, last week’s first half against the West Coast was a training drill but we dropped our guard in the final quarter. While this match is a mismatch on paper — second versus seventeenth — football is won in the wind, the contests, and the moments.
