Well, let’s be honest.

If you are drinking something that needs/has coke in it then it’s should be spilt and or poured down a sink. Now to celebrate, go get a good single malt, drink it neat and be much happier 😃

    I know he had to kicks smothered, but I thought he was really good last night

    They were both first quarter, and very frustrating, but he learned pretty quickly. He was immense in the last. I love his physicality and contested, competitive buy-in. That was his best game, and pretty much secures him for next week. Well done Tommy!

    Same happened to me as well. Very poor of Foxtel. Get your act together nuff nuff's. Promptly set up a new replay early this morning. Has anyone else noticed that for set shots for goals none of our players are spinning the ball on the runup. This used to really pi$$ me off and could well have contributed to many points being scored.

    Press the small red button when you record games MT64, it adds 25 mins to program you record, i always do this with any live AFL game, its saved me a few times from missing end of match

    Just watched the last two minutes again. Why wouldn’t you! The decision to penalise Brayshaw was crazy but just prior to that, Selwood’s kick to the boundary line has far more intent. FWIW

    Still buzzing

    What about May’s deliberate in the 1st. Absolute rubbish that hasn’t been paid all season.

    Agree. Umps favoured cats all night. Disgraceful. Dees beat 21 again !!!

    Was one of the worst decisions I’ve ever seen. It bounced off his chest in sliding desperation. Inconceivable. How my head didn’t explode, or the Umps head by the sheer collective weight of MFC supporter disbelief and anger will remain one of the year’s great mysteries. Mind you, the insufficient intent decision in the last 50 seconds was on the podium. Were both decisions from umpire Stevic?

    What a [censored] win!!!!

    I jumped on last night read the post game thread straight after the game. Some hilarious posts that express our bewilderment at what we long suffering fans are now experiencing. 
    we just come from 40 odd down to beat geelong at home after the siren with a Maxy mark and goal to secure the minor premiership and avoid an Adelaide final against an Adelaide team. 
    Melbourne I’m talking about. Us!

    We would have lost. The 'crowd noise affirmation' would have made the umpiring more biased and would have got the Puddytats over the line.

    What about the deliberate call against May in the first quarter which resulted in a Geelong goal?

    A half-volley bounces off his chest and they said it was deliberate.

    You'll never believe this but I had this crazy dream last night that we came back from almost eight goals down against Geelong to win the minor premiership and Maxy kicked the winner after the siren. 

    Yeah, I know. Mental.

    Utter delirium and mayhem in the home last night. 8 year old daughter jumping up and down like a lunatic, screaming at the TV, finger raised repeatedly (not in salute but vicious derision), shouting, “Suck that, Geelong. Suck it!” 11 year old running laps of the living room, swearing and hyperventilating (she’s still traumatised by other Kardinia Park experiences which can not be named), wondering if what she saw was real.

    Never have I been more proud of such feral behaviour.

    So, anyway, how does one who lives in the lockdown capital (Melb) of Australia  get oneself to Perth in September?!

    Haven't slept all night RTG, still on a high, this must be what drugs feel like, just about to watch replay for the 4th time, never thought anything would come close to how it good it felt after beating the Dogs in the final round of 87, this is damn close

    That last deliberate was just a disgrace  - absolutely no feel or understanding of the game maggot.  Why would a team striving to get a goal within possibly the last seconds do that?  No understanding at all.  Should be hauled over the coals, but won’t 

    Could have been worse, the ump could have paid that free, or a free could/should have been paid to us for Selwood’s kick out of bounds in the play before that, in which case we probably would have ended up falling short. The footy gods were looking after us, it seems.

    At half time I thought we were gone. Too far back, against our bugbear team, and they would arm wrestle us to the finish. But I thought, if that doesn't give us incentive to fire up against Port, nothing will.

    Even a close loss would have shown that no lead is too big. Disappointing but not the end of the world.

    A shame to keep having to have losses to gee us up though.

    But to win it!!

    Huge mental victory for us and demons for the other finalists. (No pun intended.)

    Huge mental victory.

    No team can beat us when we're on.

    No deficit is too big.

    We will steamroll our way through September.

    Our destiny is in our own hands.

    GO DEMONS!!!!!

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

      The Dogs reigned supreme in 2018 with an inaugural AFLW premiership cup and the Demons matched this feat by winning the cup as the Season 7 2022 champions.Meggs wasn’t born when the Doggies won their first VFL premiership cup against the Demons in 1954. Covid prevented many Demons fans from legally witnessing the victorious 2021 AFL Grand Final cup performance between the Demons and the Bulldogs, but we all grin when remembering those magnificent seven third quarter goals.

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Hawthorn and Melbourne. Two teams with impressive form from last week but with seasons that are travelling on different trajectories meet in Saturday’s twilight game for what could well be the most intriguing contest of the AFL’s penultimate round. Sadly, the game has been relegated to that unappealing time slot in the weekend when Melburnians are typically preoccupied with activities other than football. It falls between the morning's shopping, afternoon sport and recreation, and Saturday night fever. A time usually reserved for relatively insignificant events but this one is not a nothingburger for either of the clubs or their fans.

    • AFLW: 2025 Season Preview

      Ten seasons. Eighteen teams. With the young talent pathway finally fully connected, Women’s Australian Rules football is building momentum and Season 2025 promises to be the best yet. In advance of Season 10, the AFL leadership has engaged in candid discussions with all clubs regarding strategies to boost attendance and expand fan bases. Concerningly, average attendances in 2024 were 2,660 fans per match, with the women’s game incurring an annual loss of approximately $50 million.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?
