    Against one of the biggest clubs, who were playing for a spot in finals for the first time in a decade, who threw everything at us. What a brilliant result and end.

    How did we win that?

    just maybe it will give us some confidence that will rub off into better performances. Team changes do need to take place.

    We won, but we're not winning the premiership

    I hate the attitude of fans who have somehow forgotten decades of mediocrity and don't enjoy wins. FFS. 

    Huge lifter. That sort of win will give the boys some extra bounce. 

    Jayden Hunts last couple of minutes were unreal

    Petty is AA, he is just brilliant. Brayshaw huge all night. Please I cannot watch us kick it to Brown anymore, thank you, like you, but not the KPF we need.  Thanks Melks love your work. Cannot understand how we got picked apart in the contest, without our defence we would have been blown up. Salem looking better each week.

    There needs to be a minimum for four changes for next week.

    A totally complacent team playing a style that has been worked out with a forward line that couldn’t kick straight if their lives depended on it.

     

    I fully stand by these comments.

    That last three minutes was wallpaper over cracks.

    Barring a miracle. The Bulldogs should knock the Blues out of the finals now. If we can win next week then we should secure a top 4 spot.

    Always liked what Melksham brings, hope this helps to bring some others to Team Melk, because he was the difference. 

    He doesn't rack up the most possessions or tackles, but he generally actually thinks about his possessions and is really crafty.

    It’s fair to say we take that and move on real quick. We have a lot of work to do.

    How are we not just making up the numbers?

    We've just played a game against a possible finals contender that gave their absolute all and we won. Last week we played another incredible game against another genuine finals contender and only just got done when we really should've won if it wasn't for some poor kicking.

    In no way are we making up the numbers.

    Confession time. 3 minutes to go I got up and said "we're done, we can't do it from here. We've lost all our close ones this year". Well, bugger me.

    That was as close to a final as you will get. Not a great spectacle, but as tough as hell. Both sides will be very sore over the next 2 days. 

    Delighted, shocked, annoyed, Exhiirated. 

    I did that with 14 minutes to go and turned it back on with 30 seconds to go.

    Reckon Jayden Hunt is the only reason we won that game and it was due to a bit of dare - be nice if collectively we could employ that mindset across more than the last quarter

    Hamish McLaughlin just openly admitted that he was barracking for us to kick a point so that it guaranteed Carlton a spot in the finals.

    Hey Hamish, how about you and Gil [censored] off to an island and never return.

    Melk and Petty take a bow.

    Don't look at how Geelong are playing they are going in with soft lead up games into September.

    Massive character tonight.

    Jayden Hunt played I think one of the best quarter of his career. He was immense. 

    Really good quarter - great drive and connection. He's coming back to form.

    I felt the commentators really wanted a Carlton win.

    I could and will watch that Kozzie goal endlessly.

    Absolutely. I'm rapt for that last 60 seconds but there is no way this forward line in this team wins a flag this year.

    You little ripper, I thought we were toast and will take a last gasp victory every day. I think we ran that game out a little better than the last couple of weeks but the Baggers seemed to have more runners for longer.

    • 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?
