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.

    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!

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
