POSTGAME: Rd 18 vs Brisbane

[Demon Disciple 12,035]

We’re into our 6th ‘Grand old Flag’ on the train home. It’s packed.

Song stops, it’s quiet(ish) after 10 seconds of cheering, then all of a sudden………....Iiiiiiiiittttttttt’ssssss a………….

Make that our 10th verse and for some reason no one is hopping off the train 🤪

The age of miracles is upon us! Like all Goody's critics I am absolutely delighted to eat humble pie. I never thought they could do it.

Melksham literally our matchwinner with that great mark and ice-cool finish. Petracca, Gawn and Viney led the way, and Joel Smith was a big improvement on Petty, who looked out of sorts almost from the start. Puzzling how nearly-fit Oliver gets ruled out but clearly unfit Petty gets a start.

But all credit to Goodwin and the players. Goody cops it whenever we lose so he deserves to share the praise for that amazing turnaround too.

FMD - just heard the call by sen in the last 30 seconds.

Whately:

'Melbourne rescue their season"

Rescue?

The footy media is pathetic

When the siren went I automatically looked at Goody's reaction & he and the players the bench were all in a group hug then goody ran out and hugged everyone. 

You can't deny the players just love him as a coach. 

By the way kudos to Joel Smith. Took some crucial marks and looked good down back

Been saying it forever some of you so called supporters are a disgrace and need to have a good look at yourself 

Maxy take a bow

Trac likewise

Melk good defensive forward effort

Boys showed a lot of courage tonight

Took the game on and yes at times they got burned on the rebound but it is a coaching (yes coached) directive we really stood up in the last quarter thought we may have blown it with those early last quarter misses, but a fantastic win

Man o man! That was feckin awesome.

Love feckin with Brisbane's minds!

Persistence and refusal to give it away.

Some highlights. Some of one on one contests by Rivers, Smith and Mc Vee.

Max back to dominating best.

Jake the snake. The left foot snap and that mark.

Viney's goal. Sheer will power. Viney full stop.

Kozzie lookin dangerous again.

Hated: May's game. Spargo's game and Langdon's game. Hunter wasn't great either.

There's a thread about media bias.

Could care less about media bias.

But the ridiculous bias against us by some posters, who supposedly 'support' the dees, and just parrot the medias weekly talking points, does my head in.

I don't think Whateley was far wrong. Defeat tonight would have been a big psychological blow and could have left us in a potential logjam of teams battling to make finals.

[Stiff Arm 4,419]

The only team to have beaten both Collingwood and Brisbane this year!

❤️💙

[BDA 22,696]

As soon as I get home I’ll be watching the last quarter on kayo.

still pumped

Only 39k but at the ground the dees fans were brilliant and super loud in the last quarter.

I have zero doubt it was a big factor.

Good work dees fans. 

Chocco said he thought it was the first time the crowd noise got us over the line. 

[dees189227 12,363]

Sorry but Melksham isn't getting dropped. He provided a target tonight 

[Rodney (Balls) Grinter 10,795]

I'm sure it's been said numerous times all ready, but "HOW [censored] GOOD IS JAKE MELKSHAM!!!"

Love this bloke.  He certainly had his moments tonight - both bad and VERY VERY good ones, but overall, I love the way he attacked the contest and took on the game by foot.

Not gone yet Jakey boy.  ❤💙❤💙❤💙

I am stunned. Absolutely stunned. I hope that comeback is the start for the rest of the season. Reminded me of Geelong in 21.

Exactly 

Geelong 21 Had the same emotion

Amazing

Rescue our season? Give me a spell.

If we lost we still would have been 4th at the end of the round, with a soft run home.

The media's addiction to drama is mind numbing.

The same sen crew were talking about Grundy getting traded at seasons end such was hysteria over Grundy being omnited.

Manufactured drama.
