We won the free kick count,  but someone needs to talk to the freaking umpiring dept about those post disposal bumps. My gut feel is once they paid the one to Spaz, it has to be paid all night, but geez the Blues milked everyone of them.

    We kicked a goal after the siren against Geelong in R23 last year and then steamrolled through the finals, this year we kick a goal with 13secs left in R22 to win a crucial game, now we’re going to steamroll through 4 more games for back to back flags. 😉

    Wow now that was a game for the ages. Carlton had everything to play for and we still beat them. No doubt they have us their all and we still won. So many games we’ve lost like this and for once we beat them. 
    Melksham, Kozzie were back in form. I was a bit worried about a town at the start but he came good when we needed him. Now we’ve shown we can win when all hope seems lost. So proud of the boys tonight. Well done ❤️

    5 points between pleasure and pain. 

    Nice to be on the other side of the result for a change.  

    Well done Dees.

    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.

    It was funny, May said after the game "the pressure came off us once we got behind at the end and we started attacking"

    That is our brand. We need to play four quarters of hard running attacking football. We didn't for most of the game. It was slow and predictable.

    Such mixed feelings.

    I'm really happy we won. I loved Kozzies trash talking at the end just as much as the goal.

    Petty is just a mountain down back.

    Melksham and Hunt, who woulda thunk?

    I'm off to the Gabba next week. We have so much work to do. Hopefully this win will give us belief to start playing daring exhilarating football again.

    It was an amazing and completely frustrating game.

    I reckon we're playing at 70 percent of our capability.

    A big win next week would restore my faith.

    Geelong are looking ominous. We need to take another step up next week.

    I mean come on. We're prepped for the finals after this run of high-end matches that's for sure.

    Meanwhile Geelong have a series of soft games which will not prepare them for finals footy. It happened to them a few years ago too.

    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 left my seat and headed to the exit but waits and saw a Lazarus style revival.

    Carlton threw everything at us, we won.

     

    BBB, please remember, you have two hands

    Thats the thing I've noticed with our forwards we are constantly bombing the ball forward to a stagnant forward  who has 2 or 3 defenders to compete with, this has to be game plan related did not notice 1 leading forward all night. When BBB is able to run and jump he takes the mark and goals otherwise he is just trying to bring the ball to ground. I think we need to adjust our methods going i50

    Egg on my face right now. Put my hand up and openly admit I got it wrong with the Melksham selection.

    I've bashed him hard this year but the last few weeks he's completely changed his game to the point where he's important member.

    Sorry Melky, you were [censored] unreal tonight.

    Yawn. You do this all the time. How about you just stop bagging Melbourne players all the time?

    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.

    Their island would be beautiful beyond your wildest dreams unfortunately 

    Between them and their relatives they have more dough than than many a small nation

    I waited all week to say it, but when Koz kicked his goal I yelled as loudly as I could ‘maybe you can appeal?’

    Let’s just say I’m lucky to be here.

    Not winning it this year is a bust

    We must have got flogged based on all the comments with the same sentiment as this. We are up to our eyeballs in this Premiership race. Confidence and momentum are a wonderful thing. As is the fact that we have three undeniable champions in our team.

    My God there are some sad sacks here.

    We have lost all the games until tonite where we have been in it in the last quarter. Finally we nailed one so lets hope that they can get a lift in confidence.

    I’ll happily take the 4 points, although it feels like we stole it.

    we’re just so predictable over the past 10-12 rounds, we have lost all our offensive dare, Second to the ball, hate to say it but soft at the contest at times tonight.

    unless we’re about to hit a switch but we’re struggling under the pressure of being reigning premiers it feels.

    I’ll be cheering on at the Gabba, let’s hope some offensive is found during the week.

    it would be nice to kick it to BBB on the lead just once and not to him with 3 defenders.

    Don’t expect a response any time soon Nashy. 
    Called @dazzledavey36 out last week and have been ear-bashed by crickets since. 🤣

    c’mon Dazz…. You know I’m not having a crack but rather curiosity about how you answer this. 
    Viney should’ve been traded a few years ago though hey?

    I thought Melksham was finished and especially so after he punched May. That punch relaunched his career. 

    May was fantastic tonight. McKay’s goals were not down to him.

    • CASEY: Geelong

      There was a time in the second quarter of the game at the Cattery on Friday afternoon when the Casey Demons threatened to take the game apart against the Cats. The Demons had been well on top early but were struggling to convert their ascendancy over the ground until Tom Fullarton’s burst of three goals in the space of eight minutes on the way to a five goal haul and his best game for the club since arriving from Brisbane at the end of 2023. He was leading, marking and otherwise giving his opponents a merry dance as Casey grabbed a three goal lead in the blink of an eye. Fullarton has now kicked ten goals in Casey’s three matches and, with Melbourne’s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next week’s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forward’s efforts - he finished with 19 disposals and eight marks and had four hit outs as back up to Will Verrall in the second half - it wasn’t enough as Geelong reigned in the lead through persistent attacks and eventually clawed their way to the lead early in the last and held it till they achieved the end aim of victory.

    • REPORT: Geelong

      I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?
