Just wondering- could we already have the rising star, the Brownlow, the minor prem in the bag? With the Norm Smith and flag to come?! Could be an epic year

    Just a side-note.  They were talking last week about the record for the most intercept marks in a season.  I'm pretty sure Jake Lever has just smashed it with another seven today.  That gives him a season average of over 4 per game.

    Yeah the umpiring again was pretty darn appalling. I thought that last 1 minute was another Adelaide moment all over again. They simply had to pay that 50 though it was clear as day. Otherwise  there would have been a different reason for protests in the Melbourne CBD tomorrow.

    Stevic was atrocious all game.  The other two were fine for the most part.

    Well [censored] I missed the game. 

    Just seen the scores now. Guess I'm staying up to 3am watching the replay. 

    I'll score some brownie points with the missus and put my hand up for the night shift with our baby

    Go Dees!

    Just watched the last 2 minutes on the AFL site. It’s just the most poetic moment when Max kicks that goal. It was meant to be.

    Sport has lifted me higher than I ever thought possible on a day like today. I feel so grateful for the footy club.

    Finally finished watching it, bloody hell what a game, looked gone for all money, but we didn't stop and we overran them.  Thank god for Burgo! and his fitness program.

     

    Now the Lions, betting Adelaide oval..

    Btw, Lever's second half was 🔥. Incredible leadership.

    I'll have to watch the replay to see if Geelong just put the cue in the rack ready for next week, or whether they just ran out of legs, or whether our pressure and contest work simply overawed them. Maybe a bit of all of those things, because we only got the game on our terms in the second half, arguably half way through the 3rd, and despite leading early in the match, it wasn't quite on our terms. 

    We got our defensive mechanism working later in the game, which translated into generating scores and repeat entries from back to front or simply from centre clearance forward. 

    I'm.still staggered though that we came from a 44 point deficit late in the 3rd, truly a remarkable win.

    They ran out of gas.  There's a reason Scott keeps wanting shorter games.  He has the oldest list by a fair whack.  They can't match the fitter sides for four quarters.

    Fantastic win by a fast becoming fantastic team with some very ubiquitous players popping up to play telling roles at crucial stages.

    Give the Media their due , they seemed to be able to relagate that dour record breaking win to underwhelm status by last games of several fine players.

    Unbelievable, thank you MFC, what a game. The emotions I and my family feel for this club and even moreso through Covid lockdown you have given us so much.

    Monkey off the back, to win the minor premiership in Geelong where the demolition occurred and for our caption to win the game after the siren it was the best script.

    Job half done, let's bring the same intensity and string 3 games together like that.

    Well done MFC. I love our club!

    We'll, not quite like that, perhaps...

    True.. they played well nonetheless, we may face them again this year. I thought Hawkins held them up well all night. Also thought that they played predictably up the ground and didn’t have the leg-speed to take chances. Suspect they’ll go through the middle more often during the finals, hoping that the umps lock-down on the non-15m kicks…

    The psychological damage that would have caused would be massive after thinking they had cracked the code on the Dees Squeeze.

    They completely stopped and had nothing left to give, completely shot to pieces.

    We absolutely murdered them in the 3rd and 4th quarters, absolutely no response whatsoever.

    Where are your 16 minute quarters now Chris Snott?

    Stick it where the sun don't shine you whinging little swine.

    Redemption for Max Gawn after 2018. Minor premiers for the first time since 1964. The first time in my and all my brother’s lifetimes.

    Also, while harking back to 2018, I couldn’t help but notice Fritsch emulating Hannan’s goal in the final against Geelong… almost a carbon copy!

    • 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.

    • GAMEDAY: West Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?
