Do it. Honestly we were all over them but for 10 minutes. It’s a testament to our coaching quality that they could see beyond the emotion of the scoreboard and remind the players we were doing so well. It takes a skill I don’t have to watch football as it’s happening with that emotional intelligence. I suspect it’s why coaches love certain stats.

For decades we have lacked a player who could turn a game. A young red head did it yesterday and I believe has many more of those in him.

 

Haven't seen anything apart from the last 2 minutes.

Why are people talking up Sparrows game? He only had 12 touches  or so. How did he impress?

 

Oh, and tsk tsk to all of you doubters.

The new and improved faulty had faith we would win (apart from going to bed after checking  the scores at half time).

 

This is the year we win the flag. Get on board and prepare your kids for endless gloating and teasing of Pies/Blues/Hawks/Tigers/essedon fans.

My only regret is that it did not happen with the stadium full of cats. Imagine? 

Woulda preferred a stadium full of Demons. Imagine.

 

What did Goody say at half time?? 

amazing coaching to get us to reset and not drop our heads. Back ourselves in. The boys will remember this when down 4-5 goals in the future. Trust each other and we can do it

That kid made a great contribution across the game - tough, willing, capable, with vision and intent. Put up with the dirty stuff from Geelong and carried on like matured footballer.

Well done, Sparrow.

He can take a mark Sparrow, he is a ripping over head mark stood up beyond his years.

Umpire judged that Melbourne deliberately kicked it out of bounds when that was obviously not the intent.

Yep, even the commentators were in disbelief. I think it was Darcy who was saying “insufficient attempt? Why would Melbourne NOT wanna keep it play?!”

He took some important marks in key areas of the ground all contested he was massive in the last, he'll have bucket loads of confidence heading into the finals.

What made it all the more staggering was that a clearly more deliberate one wasn’t paid against Selwood about 20 seconds earlier. That’s the joy of rules that require the umpire to read the players’ minds.

Doesn’t matter though. No free against Brayshaw -> no shanked kick by Guthrie -> no needless punch in to the stands -> no 50 to Lever -> no Gawn mark with 10s to go. All the decisions, good and bad, got us to arguably our favourite MFC moment of all time for those of us too young to see ‘64. Well umpired, umpires!

Guthrie’s attempt to waste time backfired badly when he was arguing with the umpire about some irrelevance and then told to play on forcing him to kick in a hurry and OOTF.

The umpires don't have a feel for the game, so always pay insufficient intent when it's obviously not

I've got a problem, I don't have Kayo currently, relying on Foxtel for fox footy (long story). I turned on this morning right at the last quarter and have been IQ rewinding back and watching again repeatedly but now I can't change the channel because I'll lose it! 

1st world problem of the highest quality.

Just watched the last two minutes again (possibly a couple of times).

Gawn signalled to Lever, “put it there”. The kick from Lever was an absolute ripper. Couldn’t have put it more in the right spot. 

Agree it was a nice spot to put the kick Nasher, but they showed behind the goals footage of the Max mark on ‘ The Round So Far’  and Stanley will be hiding under his bed for a couple of nights after watching that. No body contact whatsoever and was daydreaming. That’s footy though, we’ve often dissected instances like this one over the years.

Now there’s some donuts Dan would be proud of!

Would it be fare to say that winning a game against Geelong with a kick after the siren is up there with winning a game against Collingwood by a point?

Buy a new TV and leave this one on forever.

Or AFL will have the full game replay up today on its website. Your call.

I’ve still got PTSD flashbacks from Jimmy Toumpas fumbling in the defensive goal square to enable a Leigh Montagna open goal. Ergh.

Mistakes happen. Glad it was the other suckers ruing theirs last night.

He played an amazing last quarter. Still a bit underrated as a player IMO.

Thought it was hilarious hearing Trac (I think it was) post game saying it was a 'bit of a flat kick inside 50'.

dangerfield was cramping, badly, from about the 7 min mark of the last quarter

clayton has already said in the post-match interview that when max was lining up he was asking him how his calf was feeling

puddy tatts are still a threat but if they lose to port they will be up against it as all those old legs clearly need a rest

  • NON-MFC: Round 06

    The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • REPORT: Essendon

    What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

  • POSTGAME: Essendon

    Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.
