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!

    • 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.

      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.
