    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.

      With their season all over bar the shouting the Demons head back on the road for the third week in a row as they return to Adelaide to take on the Crows. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.

    • GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons are back on the road again and this may be the last roll of the dice to get their 2025 season back on track as they take on the Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium.

    • PREVIEW: Gold Coast

      The Gold Coast Suns find themselves outside of the top eight for the first time since Round 1 with pressure is mounting on the entire organisation. Their coach Damien Hardwick expressed his frustration at his team’s condition last week by making a middle-finger gesture on television that earned him a fine for his troubles. He showed his desperation by claiming that Fox should pick up the tab.  There’s little doubt the Suns have shown improvement in 2025, and their position on the ladder is influenced to some extent by having played fewer games than their rivals for a playoff role at the end of the season, courtesy of the disruption caused by Cyclone Alfred in March.  However, they are following the same trajectory that hindered the club in past years whenever they appeared to be nearing their potential. As a consequence, that Hardwick gesture should be considered as more than a mere behavioral lapse. It’s a distress signal that does not bode well for the Queenslanders. While the Suns are eager to remain in contention with the top eight, Melbourne faces its own crisis, which is similarly deep-seated but in a much different way. After recovering from a disappointing start to the season and nearing a return to respectability among its peer clubs, the Demons have experienced a decline in status, driven by the fact that while their form has been reasonable (see their performance against the ladder leader in the Kings Birthday match), their conversion in front of goal is poor enough to rank last in the competition. Furthermore, their opponents find them exceptionally easy to score against. As a result, they have effectively eliminated themselves from the finals race and are again positioned to finish in the bottom half of the ladder.
