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.  

Never doubted them for a second.  (Don't ask me about minutes)

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.

 

Very Very lucky to get away with a win,we can't win the flag playing like this but will take the win.

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

Melksham I was wrong.

Hope I’m wrong with Ben Brown too


We are so lucky to have Jack Viney in this team. 
The bloke is a beast that scares the absolute s**t out of the opposition.

Singing the song, May and Melks have a hug

Yep!  After Kozzie’s goal, that was the moment of the night for me!

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.

Sorry but we can't win it with a dysfunctional forward line

Edited by one_demon

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.

  • PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

    With both sides precariously positioned ahead of the run home to the finals, only one team involved in Sunday’s clash at the Adelaide Oval between the Power and the Demons will remain a contender when it’s over.  On current form, that one team has to be Melbourne which narrowly missed out on defeating the competition’s power house Collingwood on King's Birthday and also recently overpowered both 2024 Grand Finalists. Conversely, Port Adelaide snapped out of a four-game losing streak with a win against the Giants in Canberra. Although they will be rejuvenated following that victory, their performances during that run of losses were sub par and resulted in some embarrassing blow out defeats.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

  • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

    The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

  • POSTGAME: Collingwood

    Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.
