What did Richo say? I have no sound 

Something happened with Petty…

Sounds like (likely) Zorko made overly personal comments about someone  from Petty's family.

    Great win, but FFS Jaded and the others having a whinge about Brissy getting the last two goals have a good look at yourselves absolutely pathetic 

    Wait until you see what Sydney come up with.

    Is there a table somewhere that shows the scores we need in the St Kilda and Sydney game to hold on to second spot?

    I doubt very much as a club we would be happy with conceding some soft goals in the last. 
    I would hate to play Sydney at the SCG and so would the club. 

    Leave it out. Just destroyed a fellow contender in their home deck. Smiles all round

    OK it's 35 points but increase by about two points for every goal the Saints kick. ie if the Saints kick ten goals the difference becomes about 50 to 55 points.

    Are you serious?

    (PS not sure about the premise of your argument anyway. We're 7-0 on the road, whilst 5 of our 6 losses this year have been at the G, including to Sydney).

    Finals is a different ball game. Not to mention we want the home ground and home crowd advantage. After missing out last year I think we want our fans at the G cheering the boys on.

    Players beating the chest together in the room after the game. Jonesy was talking about that on the radio today, he said it was a team thing that the focus was in 2021 keeping the opposition below 68 points

    Does this mean the curse is broken? 

    I could be getting my narratives mixed up.

    If they make a movie of this game it will be called "BACKFIRE".

    They come out with their hard man act, against guys like Viney, May, Harmes ... none of our guys will shirk a push and shove and even big lumbering old Benny Brown doesn't take a backward step. Even the boy who's still in high school (probably) won't back down from a skirmish.

    What did they think was going to happen???

    It was good to see in the first two minutes our pressure was on.

    And what was this new thing ... low hard forward entries in space to leading forwards? Since when has that been part of football? I congratulate whoever invented that. We should keep doing it.

    Hitting our straps at exactly the right time of year.

    GO DEMONS!!!

    What is with Jonathan Brown and his narrative of us going after Zorko all night?

    Bloke is deluded, Zorko was a [censored] from the first contest

    Why it has nothing to do with it, we achieved a win, players reaction with the chest beating means we clearly achieved our target of keeping them below a certain score.

    you ever had anything to do with footy at a decent level and when you’re way ahead you start managing your players

    Big win

    Rivers finally fit and confident in his knee is massive

    His sidestep and agility is huge at half back

    Our last four matches have been against top 8 sides, three of whom have been playing for top 4. How much more different are finals going to be?

    Tonight we were underdogs and you yourself acknowledged pre-match it was supposed to be a tight one.

    Reacting like this after we've belted our literal contender for 2nd spot is silly.

    If we'd just played North, sure, be upset with junk time goals.

    Looks like he can finally run again

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      It seems like only yesterday that these two sides faced off against each other in the centre of the continent. It was when Melbourne was experiencing a rare period of success with five wins from its previous six matches including victories over both of last year’s grand finalists.  Well, it wasn’t yesterday but it was early last month and it remains etched clearly in the memory. The Saints were going through a slump and the predicted outcome of their encounter at TIO Traeger Park was a virtual no-brainer. A Melbourne victory and another step closer to a possible rise into finals contention. Something that was unthinkable after opening the season with five straight defeats.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.
