Should have won by 200

McDonald slowly getting some confidence back, Pickett too

 

Could have should have but they don't give you 8 points if you do.

    Rivers was pretty quiet today. 
    with Bowey and Gus playing terrific defensive footy and Jordon owning the wing he could find himself out of the team in the coming weeks with Salem nearing a return.

    This is what the top tier do.

    Our execution first half was magnificent under great pressure from St. Kilda (to the expense of their ball movement which improved a lot in the second half). We then absorbed their best while remaining steady.

    Tomald was great today. He keeps that up and he’ll stay in the team till September. The great man may have a third wind based on that. I was convinced he was on his last legs before today but I may have to eat a cement mixer full of humble pie.

    Lap it up kids!

    When an opponent seems to have a bit of momentum it’s efforts like Spargo’s that make it very hard for them to score against us. Not giving up on the play after one tackle he quickly puts on another one and just made Membrey rush the kick forward early in the last. 
    Goes a long way to winning games and absolutely loving what this team is doing at the moment.

    I just love how little stress I feel watching footy these days. I expected us to do that today. My MFCSS is a thing of the past.

    Jury not in yet, but definitely played himself to 201. I'm happy for him, back to his best today.

    He performed when the game was there to be won and against the highest rated team we've played all year playing a high pressure game.

    Some great attack on the pill, presented well, a number of score involvements including some up the field (work ethic).  Competed well at ground level and kicked two VN goals.

    If we got that or similar most weeks from Plugga he's gonna be very hard to dislodge this season, injury aside.

    I had this weird feeling before the game, one that I'd never felt before. I'd heard other supporters talk about it but I thought it was a myth.

    'Confidence', I think it's called. I was 'confident' going into this match and it turned out to be well placed.

    Weird.

    After the dominate part in the second qtr I reckon we bombed it long to moser stationary targets/packs and that must be addressed. 
     

    In saying that we had some horrible moments and some amazing moments. Still miss Salem so much, Trac has a few levels to go, Tmac looked good marking and contesting which was good to see.
    Langdon… just wow.

    Clarrie will be the best MFC player ever by careers end if he keeps on.

    It's beautiful isn't it? I am enjoying my football just as much as last year but in a completely different way.

    While I'm not looking forward to a loss, I'm simply not worried about it. I'm enjoying every game, celebrating ever win and am already looking forward to finals.

    His marking was back, everything else comes from that. When he is clunking the ball he is a very hard match up.

    How good was Langdon?

    Brayshaw was huge when needed, May and Viney as well. Tough and hard.

    I like the way they help the opposition up off the deck when needed, then drive them into it when needed, like Zac Jones. We got the better Jones!

    Tell me about it.

    When they got to within 22 with 8 minutes to go, I’d have being pooing a brick in years gone by. 

    This time my feeling was that even if they jag another to get within 16, it’ll take a good 2 to 3 minutes for that to happen.

    Teams just don’t pile on goals against us in short bursts of time. The last team to do it to us was Geelong in round 23 last year,  and it’s not like it mattered much in the end they had.

    Played a fantastic first quarter and a half but credit to St Kilda they didn’t drop their heads and came back at us hard

    System and defensive structures neigh on impregnable

    Quiet today but 15 straight for Bowsey is a record. Well done son

    8-0 and travelling nicely

    Go Dees

    Three clangers notwithstanding.

    • 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?

      The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
