That final minute really was unhinged 🤣  Now they finally steered him back to footy

Please someone post it!

Brayshaw must have snorted a line, had 5 energy drinks, drank 3 cups of coffee and had a Boost drink. He is chirping along like a chipmunk.

May all your dreams come true.

If anyone wants to clip this magic moment and let us all lip-read her epic 'thank you', it is just after 3:38:00 on the Kayo broadcast.

Seriously, I nominate it for video of the week.  absolute   magnificent

Will try and find footage but hopefully it'll be on Kayo for when you and Mr Jaded get home!  Glad your boy's streak of only 2 losses has not been enlargened!


As far as backline goes, we look way more steady with the 3 talls down back with Petty freeing up one of May/Lever to intercept.

Mate I have ADHD and even I'm struggling to keep up 😂

Happy new recruit to the club 🤗

Positives - Viney immense, Oliver influential, Van Rooyen silencing the doubters, Chandler on the rise, Lever making key intercepts, Gawn/Grundy combination grinding the Tigers down, great team effort in the last quarter, huge crowd.

Negatives - vulnerable against speedy counter-attacks, a bit lucky the under-strength Tigers missed a few very gettable shots at goal, Steven May again below his best.

Verdict - a gritty win, and in the end that's all that counts.

Agree, Petty has to go back. Hopefully JVR can build confidence after that last Q and be our prime target up forward

Goody in the post match -

"We were thinking of subbing Rooey off."

What convinced you not to sub him off?

"He took one mark"

Love it. 🤣

Good win,  sometimes you need to grind it out.  I usually hate umpire bashing because I try take my Red and Blue glasses off but it is hard.  But after scrolling through twitter I wasn't alone in thinking it was horrible and sided with Rich.

Still some stuff to work out, Petty up fwd is done, only an in game move now.

Our back flankers and pockets need to sort out who is going for the tackle or smother, they and May are all sitting back to get the easy kick.

Gawn/Grundy can get back to it

And Ben Brown is needed to start in that side, can be subbed if not affecting the game, but with Gawn and Grundy he is a threat. More than Melksham anyways


25 points down would have to be the biggest lead we’ve pegged back since the Geelong round 23 2021 game?

Did anyone else think the umpiring was questionable, or was that just me?

When even my kid sister recognises the umpiring is [censored]... yes, it's questionable 

 

I know we won and it was more gritty than pretty football but what the eff, how shocking were the umpires !! 
They were a disgrace.  My mate who barracks for Richmond did not disagree. Using his words ‘we had a few dubious ones go our way’.

Anyhow, got the four points, one week at a time etc, etc.

Thats a relief. We gave up many similar leads last season.

  • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

    The media has performed a complete reversal in its coverage of the Melbourne Football Club over the past month and a half. Having endured intense criticism from all quarters in the press, which continually identified new avenues for scrutiny of every aspect, both on and off the field, and prematurely speculated about the departures of coaches, players, officials, and various employees from a club that lost its first five matches and appeared out of finals contention, the narrative has suddenly shifted to one of unbridled optimism.  The Demons have won five of their last six matches, positioning themselves just one game (and a considerable amount of percentage) outside the top eight at the halfway mark of the season. They still trail the primary contenders and remain far from assured of a finals berth.

  • REPORT: Sydney

    A few weeks ago, I visited a fellow Melbourne Football Club supporter in hospital, and our conversation inevitably shifted from his health diagnosis to the well-being of our football team. Like him, Melbourne had faced challenges in recent months, but an intervention - in his case, surgery, and in the team's case, a change in game style - had brought about much improvement.  The team's professionals had altered its game style from a pedestrian and slow-moving approach, which yielded an average of merely 60 points for five winless games, to a faster and more direct style. This shift led to three consecutive wins and a strong competitive effort in the fourth game, albeit with a tired finish against Hawthorn, a strong premiership contender.  As we discussed our team's recent health improvement, I shared my observations on the changes within the team, including the refreshed style, the introduction of new young talent, such as rising stars Caleb Windsor, Harvey Langford, and Xavier Lindsay, and the rebranding of Kozzy Pickett from a small forward to a midfield machine who can still get among the goals. I also highlighted the dominance of captain Max Gawn in the ruck and the resurgence in form in a big way of midfield superstars Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver.

  • POSTGAME: Sydney

    The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.

  • CASEY: Northern Bullants

    The Casey Demons travelled to a windy Cramer Street, Preston yesterday and blew the Northern Bullants off the ground for three quarters before shutting up shop in the final term, coasting to a much-needed 71-point victory after leading by almost 15 goals at one stage. It was a pleasing performance that revived the Demons’ prospects for the 2025 season but, at the same time, very little can be taken from the game because of the weak opposition. These days, the Bullants are little more than road kill. The once proud club, situated behind the Preston Market in a now culturally diverse area, is currently facing significant financial and on-field challenges, having failed to secure a win to date in 2025.
