What was the deal with the Fitzroy run through WCW? Particularly the back side. It looked like a 5 year old kids school project. 

LOL. Their backing looks like faded plastic picnic tablecloths glued together, and the graphic… I don’t know what the hell that was, but close up it was tiny and unclear so I can only imagine how bad it looked from afar.

    I have a lot of time for Caroline Wilson. She is a proper journalist.

    She had a niche - the politics of football, and is still the best at reporting on the back room stuff.

    Unfortunately her niche has become the template and has metastasised into the gutter gossip peanuts like to Tom Morris trade in. 

    Click bait chasing ****knuckles

    Respect your  opinion but somehow I feel she is the "mouthpiece" of the AFL when they want certain stories "out there".

    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. 

    I concur. Especially in the last few minutes of the 4th qtr. After Viney's gutsy and gobsmackingly inspirational effort and goal when he literally ripped the ball from Oscar McInernay's hands, spun, got clear and kicked truly on his right foot, the deafening chanting of "Melbourne (clap clap clap)" either side of me was a stereophonic head-spin that saw bolts unriveting from the support poles on level 2 the Olympic Stand  The volume further surpassed WH&S limits when Melksham marked and goaled to put us in front. And then, to top things off, when we'd won, the Demon faithful singing the song so loud that it drowned out the version coming from loudspeakers will be something I NEVER forget. What a win. What a way to introduce a mate to the footy and entice him to become a MFC supporter. What a memory to treasure. Onwards and upwards, go the mighty Dees!

    Anybody still around that remembers a bloke called Tassie Johnson.

    Well he was there for a few minutes in spirit in that last Qtr.

    Ah. That brylcreem hair style. Had many chats to him after matches way back when.

    I feel like we rarely win games like that so it was such a nice change to be the one who stole it as opposed to being stolen against. When I woke up this morning had to check again that it wasn’t a dream and we really did come back and win it.

    The Rnd 23 2021 win will always be my favourite come from behind win but last night is right up there. Reminiscent of the 2000 QF victory.

    The 3AW call on Viney is just so so good!

    (They call Melksham JVR in the call of the Melksham grab though 😂)

    Prefer the MMM call as they turn the crowd noise up for a better reaction.

    How good was Rivers play to rebound off HB to make that forward play that resulted in the Milkshakes mark and goal. 

    Kid will be a recognised star of the competition soon enough 

    Lucky you. An early dinner after work and settling down for an early match. Early enough for the kids want to watch if there "Dee's".

    My only gripe was JVR got a massive shove directly in front which wasn’t paid and then Daniher got his later on.

    Both were free kicks but only one was paid. 
     

    Overall, the umpiring we have had this has been good, the Richmond game was by far the worst.

    Even though our instincts can often only see one way, we need to see the other side of the ledger as well.  Therefore, the Lions supporters would have also expected more free kicks.  They are no different to us

    The disecting of the actual game in a tactical sense is way way more interesting

    Last night's game was a beauty and of high standard.  Umpired well although there were a few errors (the players made more errors)

    In my view if the umps can get it right 8 out of 10 times they're doing well.  In other sports the expectation might be 9 out of 10

    It's daylight to the next hardest game to officiate.  Nothing comes close

    I was at the lights outside the Gabba last week, Zorko and Rayner and some others were waiting at the lights right next to me, I put the passenger side window down and said “Hey Zorko, keep Pettys mothers name out your [censored] mouth” he told to jam it but the other boys loved it.

    I thought I couldn’t possibly despise him any more than I already do. But, here we are.

    This is why Andy keeps paying those server bills - to highlight heroic efforts like this.

    That had nothing to do with the game - he had his Roaming Brian mic on in the toilet.

    The Brisbane Lions are very dislikeable 🤢

    • 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?
