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.

We have now beat every side in the top 14. Bottom 4 really causing us problems 😂 

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.

Aside from the Lightening  we smashed them. 
to win over there is massive. 

Amazing win!! Gawn to Oliver to Trac time and time again. So good

Bullen, Harmes, Jackson all brilliant

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!

We won Greg. Try to enjoy it

What a win!

Don't give two [censored] about that last quarter. We won, we are officially top 4, and it's a [censored] sweet feeling!

Go you bloody Dees!

7 day qtine

Heart stopping 15 mins. 10 to 2 free kicks.  We went to water

Red eye flight back to Melbourne

No recovery session

6 day break

I'll take the result but mark my words we'll pay for this

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

    The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.
