    I may watch the replay for the whole day

    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.

    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.

    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?

    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

    • PREGAME: Brisbane

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.

      It’s game day and the Demons are chasing a fourth straight win as we take on the high flying Hawks at the G. After decades of being tormented by the Hawks the Dees will be keen to extend their 7 year dominance over Hawthorn.

    • NON-MFC: Round 09

      Round 9 kicks off out west with the Dockers hosting a Collingwood side resting several stars. Fremantle need to make a statement on their home deck after some disappointing form on the road, while the Magpies will be keen to maintain their Top 2 position. Friday night sees a must-win clash between two sides desperate to stay in touch with the eight. St Kilda have shown glimpses while Carlton are clinging to relevance after a flat start to the season. Saturday’s twilight game at Marvel pits the Bombers against a struggling Sydney outfit. Essendon can’t afford another close match against a lower-ranked side, while the Swans risk sliding down the ladder even further. Up in Darwin, the fourth-placed Suns will look to extend their stay in the top four. The Bulldogs have hit their stride with three big wins on the trot and will be very keen to consolidate on their momentum. The always fiery Showdown looms as pivotal for both clubs. Adelaide are eyeing a spot in the Top 4 with a win, while Port Adelaide’s season could slip away if they drop another game and fall further behind the pack. Sunday begins with a yawn fest between Richmond and West Coast. The Tigers need to bank the points to stay clear of the bottom two, while the Eagles are still chasing their first win of the year. The Giants face one of the league’s toughest road trips as they travel to GMHBA Stadium to face the Cats. With GWS at risk of a third straight loss, Geelong will be eager to consolidate their position inside the eight and start their climb up the ladder. The round wraps up with the top-of-the-table Lions heading to Ninja Stadium to take on the second-last Roos. The Lions should easily take care of the struggling Roos who might be powerless against the best in the comp. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?
