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.

    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.

    Viney coming off with a bung shoulder and 2 minutes later saying 'Ready to go coach'

    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.

    • NON-MFC: Round 09

      Round 9 kicks off out west with the Dockers hosting a Collingwood side resting several stars. Fremantle need to make a statement on their home deck after some disappointing form on the road, while the Magpies will be keen to maintain their Top 2 position. Friday night sees a must-win clash between two sides desperate to stay in touch with the eight. St Kilda have shown glimpses while Carlton are clinging to relevance after a flat start to the season. Saturday’s twilight game at Marvel pits the Bombers against a struggling Sydney outfit. Essendon can’t afford another close match against a lower-ranked side, while the Swans risk sliding down the ladder even further. Up in Darwin, the fourth-placed Suns will look to extend their stay in the top four. The Bulldogs have hit their stride with three big wins on the trot and will be very keen to consolidate on their momentum. The always fiery Showdown looms as pivotal for both clubs. Adelaide are eyeing a spot in the Top 4 with a win, while Port Adelaide’s season could slip away if they drop another game and fall further behind the pack. Sunday begins with a yawn fest between Richmond and West Coast. The Tigers need to bank the points to stay clear of the bottom two, while the Eagles are still chasing their first win of the year. The Giants face one of the league’s toughest road trips as they travel to GMHBA Stadium to face the Cats. With GWS at risk of a third straight loss, Geelong will be eager to consolidate their position inside the eight and start their climb up the ladder. The round wraps up with the top-of-the-table Lions heading to Ninja Stadium to take on the second-last Roos. The Lions should easily take care of the struggling Roos who might be powerless against the best in the comp. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front. They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.
