Did not rate the Blues, until tonight. What a spectacle AFL is. 

They’re missing Kennedy, Hewett, Cerra (3/5ths of their starting mids) from their midfield and Williams and Newman down back too (with Docherty forced to play on ball). No idea how they’ve juiced the salary cap to keep importing players but it’s a strong list.

Add those 5 and take out Stocker, O’Brien, Marchbank, Setterfield, Motlop and it’s a strong best 22 that would’ve touched us up easily

Cripps did the same thing and didn't get pinged.

Yes diffferent rules for different teams/ players.

Same in a game last week.  And pretty sure the player even kicked from outside the line and was still allowed to just play on.

Whoah, Sigur Ros as you first concert! I saw them at festival hall in about 2006, incredible. 
 

The win was ok too, haha

I was at that concert too! And I saw them in 2005, 2007 and 2008. AND I attended the world premiere of their movie, Heima (here in Melbourne coz that’s how awesome they are) followed by a Q and A during which I got to ask a question!!!!
 

I was supposed to go tonight but, ya know, the Dees. Even if we’d lost tonight I don’t regret blowing off the concert. But that’s moot now since WE BLOODY WON!!!!

❤️💙❤️💙❤️💙


To beat Carlton by less than a kick with 10 seconds to go it doesn't get better than that.

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. 

That's what I told the wife. I had no faith.

I'll just leave this here.

I just got home and so did my 17yo son from his first ever concert (Sigur Rós… not too shabby for your first concert) and right now we’re both full of adrenaline and talking over the top of each, LOUDLY. There’s enough energy in this room to power an entire suburb for a week! 🤣

Would like to be a fly on the wall in that room!

Didn’t kick straight and had a shocker with that play on out of bounds, but otherwise there was a very solid amount of contesting with some good clunk work too.

He’s playing up high to generate space for Melk and Fritsch too. 

That was the interesting consequence of how Brown is being used.  Gone are the days where a key forward (one out like Brown was tonight) is expected to present, take 6 or 8 marks and then have as many shots at goal

Crowded forward lines, triple-teamed and even if those circumstances are overcome, a mark and shot at goal might be taken from an acute angle

So we play 2 mediums to complement and one shines through.  As a percentage play, it can work but equally, the mood here would have been quite gloomy if that crumb to Kossie had bounced a metre to the left or right and we don't get the winning goal

Such a fine line sometimes and we live to fight another day from 2nd place on the ladder (could have been 6th if we'd lost)

But along the way you need a bit of good luck sometimes.  Without that good luck, bad luck can step in

Right now, the Blues would be rueing their bad luck.  So close, but no cigar

We can happily puff away (along with sipping on a decent cognac)

Winners are grinners!

Nah, it was short lived. One of us hit a wall about 10 minutes ago and has gone to bed. 🙄 

They don’t make 17-year-olds like they used to! 😁

That performance beats the Pies next week for me. A coming of age game for the Blues.

Fail to recognise when I'm wrong? Bro I'm the only one in here who puts their hand up when I get it wrong.. 

 

Congratulations, I like a lot of your posts, but this must just about be one of the most arrogant and untrue lines I have seen here for a while

Such an important win. We were saying in one of the other threads how Carlton have had a habit of stuffing up our plans late in seasons but we changed that. 


One of the positives for me was the way some of our key players reacted when Carlton got on a run mid way through Q3.  It was clear to me that the team and especially some key players have another gear they can go to and it gave me confidence that we’ll see more of that gear in the finals. 
 

Except for that period, I thought Trac had an ordinary game. Obviously we judge him highly, but he seemed to be caught watching the contest and out positioned a few times. 

I’ll take any win at this time of year! That final goal by Pickett was somewhat similar to Tommy Mac’s goal to beat the eagles in Perth back in 2017.

I don’t dispute there are cracks. Certainly to what we were last year…

I just think we are a battler, a battler in the top 4 with a team that struggles to execute in the final third of the ground. 

I don’t think it’s going to be fixed in 2 weeks, whether we finish 2nd or 6th (what a final round!).

We are survived by Hunt and Melksham at either end.

!

I am resetting expectations and hoping we can battle our way to a prelim where dreams are made and nightmares are forged…

We can still win the thing but it will require changes because the current formula isn’t good enough.

 

I'm glad Jack Viney missed that lace out pass to ANB on the lead with 90 seconds to go. A draw as good as a loss.

Never will, Layz. Love him so much! 

If you want to stalk him, he eats at the 'Milkbar' in acland st St Kilda pretty regularly. Along with Paul Roos and Dusty.(seperate tables but they talk shop).

  • 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?

  • POSTGAME: Western Bulldogs

    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.
