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: 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.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
