That was just a magnificent win. Optus is such a tough ground to play at

Nibbler producing that game in his 100th. Hats off. Superb career turn-around

Harmes. I wouldn’t have complained if you were dropped but you proved your worth. What do I know!

Bowey to play like that in his second game, at such a hostile venue. The kid has plenty of guts as well as elite kicking skills

Melks played his role well. Credit to him he has plenty of detractors.

To have Top 4 sewn up with 2 games to play is such a luxury. Manage players with niggles and a great chance to play with freedom and build form. I don’t care who we play in the qual final or where. We’ve won in Adelaide this year and Perth. We fear nobody.

Booking a visit to my doctor now. Need my heart checked after that last quarter

 

There is no doubt that lightening break which will likely never happen again absolutely robbed us of all momentum. Without it we win by 6 goals. Luckily percentage doesn’t matter to us, but if it did you’d be filthy. 
I am just so thrilled that we managed to get away with that win. Another few minutes and I reckon it could have been a different result. Overall we played better for longer and deserved to win. 
Petty was playing with fire in the last 50 seconds holding up that mark. Lucky the umpire decided at that point he has maxed his Weagles free kicks quota for the day. 
We hold our destiny in our hands. If we can keep the list healthy for another 6 weeks anything is possible!

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.

Agree on this.  The mindset for both teams at the break would have been tricky to manage.

Dees go into the break knowing they have a lock on Top 4.

Eagles know they are out of finals if they lose , so lots to keep switched on for. Theyr;e stil a proud club.

Just human nature playing out and understandable.

Winning in Perth after last 2 weeks of travel and upheaval was super human of this team.

Well done lads. 

 

Gutsy, gutsy win by the boys.

Given the lead up to the game, conditions on game day and play suspended in the last qrt, it was a great win.

One of their best imo.


Checked the Rising Star odds and we have three players in the top ten with Jackson, Jordon and Rivers. Jackson is now outright favourite to win. I reckon Bowey a chance for a nomination. We've also got Pickett, Petty and Sparrow doing really well. Lots of a good youth coming through which I think doesn't get highlighted much compared to bombers and such.

I think that the umpire didn’t whistle the mark quickly enough, so Spargo thought be had to play on. 

No, umpire actually called play on when Spargo looked to his right. One of several pathetic decisions favouring the Eagles.

Honestly think they should start again with his left foot. He strikes them pure on the left. His right is a bunch of nonsense, spinning the ball around, arcing out and then praying he gets the big draw on it.

When Gawn kicks for goal from 30m out he kicks it high and hard and almost always hooks.  Why he does that rather than trying to pass it to a bloke behind the umpire is beyond me.

I woke up all warm and fuzzy. Seriously in love with my football team today. Well done boys. 


Just quietly I thought James Jordon came in and played a very important role. The extra run he was able to provide certainly helped.

I hope he stays in next week.

Gee that was a great win.

Against the hostile booers, umps and weather.....we did it.

Trac, Petty, Bowey and bb well done.

Back on top.

Whoops forgot Jackson.

Back in career best.

That B Taylor needs to shut completely up. He called Hunt Langdon. He continually barracks for any and all opposition sides against Melbourne. He adds no intelligent commentary. He never comments on poor umpiring decisions when they go against Melbourne.

Muting the commentary I always thought was such a Dad thing to do.  Last night I did it from halfway through the first qtr,  the commentary has become hideous

I hate an opposition comeback as much as the next person. It's always about killing off games for me. But if ever there was a let off it was last night. The flight bizo the week before, thw late outs, the upcoming 5 day break, the red eye flight out honestly what more could you expect with a restart 15 bloody minutes left in the game. The team behind in that situation will always have a free hit. Would have loved to at least have nailed one shot but who cares, we got it done. I just hope the ramifications of all that hoo ha and Hunt's injury doesn't hurt us too much.

Does Bowey remind anyone else here or a Salem with speed? Great kick!

Wish he was 8 or so cms taller as it would help him in the marking contests, but he is in IMO already our best user of the ball. To play like that over there, in just your second game, is remarkable. We have our own Caleb Daniel.


Apologies if it’s been said earlier, but Max winning the toss was so vital last night. 15 of the 19 goals were at the end Melbourne kicked to in the first quarter - the right of screen on TV. Had we lost the toss, it's likely we would have returned to the ground after the lightning break with WC in front. Now that would have been even more stressful and difficult for the Dees - and all of us.

Me too. Was more predictable than lockdown 7.0

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.

One of our best in bizarro world.


At the ground last night after the full time siren you would think the handful of Dees fans would be a little disappointed with the umpiring performance. No, it was the Eagles fans en masse leaning over the fence and hurling abuse at the umpires. One of the most disgusting supporter groups in the country. Make Essendon supporters look half decent after that effort.

don’t help. A cool 28-16 tonight, 10-2 to close out the game. So predictable.

Was telling that they gave us a purple patch in the third and didnt it make a difference.

  • 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.

    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

    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.
