    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.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
