After watching the replay and mini match a couple of times since Monday it made me appreciate what a truly wonderful contest the game was on Monday. Keen to hear everyone’s fav moment.

    I chose Fritta’s goal that put us in the lead, because if I didn’t and Pauline found out, I’d be in trouble. 🤣

    I did love the Hunter slamming into WH-E moment, mainly because Lachie stayed on his feet, barely affected and carried on running. Meanwhile, WH-E looked as though he’d been hit by a truck, which he kinda had. 😁

    Hunter has literally gone from one of my most hated players to one of my most loved. He is everything I hated him at the Dogs for and more.

    Toss up between Hunters crushing mark and Vineys spin and pass to Roo

    I picked Hunter. It has been hinted by outsiders that we are a tad soft eg lack of support to team-mates when bullied. This showed we are hard and generally fair.  I also picked it because it is the only one I could emulate when I played 🤣

    If Grundy kicked the goal after the Hunter run through, it might have won moment of the season for me.

    I pick the Hibberd 1-on-1 win, break away pace (at 31 or whatever he is, thank you very much), kick to Smith, kick to a contest (Roo holding free kick), wheel and Grundy mark + goal.

    2nd is any of the numerous Jack Viney clearances.

    I was gob smacked at the time because it's usually not the player with the ball that's handing out the bump. Collingwood player looked like he'd been shot

    Has to be Jack Viney and his pass to JvR. Vines was amazing all day. I’d give him 6 Brownlow votes. 

    That's my pick as well

    Pure artistry at work (poetry in motion)

    If that doesn't get you off your feet nothing will!

    Mouth agape stuff!

    This thread made me go back and watch a highlights video, and I'm having thoughts -

    When May got turned around in that early goal, McVee could have been getting back to support and cover the break a bit better, but only really put the sprint on once the Collingwood player was already breaking away from May. Easy oversight to make, also easy to correct by habit over time.

    May had a number of flawed moments but didn't give away anything easy. He and Lever were also pressed waaaay up the ground from defence on many occassions, and coped well in the chaos. A remarkable effort to keep Collingwood to such a low score, using such an aggressive tactic. Exemplified by May managing to break even in a three-on-one in defence.

    Maynard should send a thank you note to Van Rooyen and the Melbourne legal team, because without them that late whack to Brayshaw's head in a marking contest would have been three weeks.

    Smith's tackle on Maynard to earn his goal was textbook perfection.

    Jack Viney is A-Grade.

    Apart from his first few kicks on Monday I thought that was one of his best games for us. I will be honest though still can’t say I like him yet though.

    The highlight for me, or should I say highlights, was seeing so many pies players on the ground in pain as we relentlessly hunted and hurt them.  We got tougher as the game went on.

    Underrated part of that play was Viney smashing Noble just after his hand off to Judd.

    Two weeks in a row he's put his body on the line for the cause.
    Relentlessly ran his wing last week and maybe half way through the game had run the most kms on the ground.
    Plays like a man with his eyes on the prize.
    I'm sold.

    I liked how we kept kicking points so that the TV audience got the perception of a close game, when in reality we controlled 85% of the contest.

    For context - we doubled their scoring shots from 15 minutes in the 1st to 3 minutes left in the last.

    • REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
