This is the play that symbolised the last quarter. One team just wanted it more. 

 

 

Doug Bigelow the former Bomber and ABC commentator when describing the great Robbie went with 'Flower Supreme' many moons ago

Amongst my circle, the comment stuck

And what we saw from Rivers was quintessential Robbie Flower ... exalted company

Dash, dare and the driving kick forward.  Magnificent

Haha yeah - in that Doug Bigelow voice - in the background 

 

The way that we won is the kind of thing that can inject that elusive and unquantifiable factor that makes success happen.

The self belief that we will win can’t be artificially created any way other than on the field, as Jack, Jake, Trent, Max, etc. showed us on Friday night.

That feels profound, as did our last round win in 2021.

Big shout out to Joel Smith.

Makes the most of his limited opportunities, keeps putting his hand up, great versatility. 

Every time he goes for the ball I get flashbacks to the old man

Should've come on as soon as Petty's back went.

 

Yes Stiffy It was painfull to watch him in distress for 5 minutes waiting to be subbed 

Why the delay??

But see here's the thing deevs, Spargo's value is in big games with his delivery into the forward 50

We haven't seen it lately but that's his best asset, not his goal scoring acumen

With our stars on fire and with our middle level players at their best, Spargo can nip in from 60m out with a 15-25 metre pass to a forward who can create separation. Can you picture it? 

That's what he does when all the stars align

 

I agree 100% re Spargos delivery.  Am on record for praising it. Always finds a player. The issue for me is he's not getting the ball enough and struggles to kick a set shot more than 35 at present. Would love to see him lift.

Just pointing out without Track and Oliver, in the middle  lesser lights JJ, Sparrow with Brayshaw and Viney are getting the job done.

Gus was very good.

Watched the Melb bit on The round so far on afl app and they show behind the goal vision of the Melksham mark and what is brilliant about it is Langdon comes down into nearly the goal square making Gunston man him up which meant no spare defender for the Lions. 
Huge non stat play.

Just watched it Gorg, stuff that doesn’t get seen or noticed at the time. Brilliant by Lingers and you can see Gunston pointing to get someone else to come down to man up on Langdon  so he can go loose again.

One thing you notice from the replay is what a good job Jordon generally did on Neale.

I didn’t even notice Neale until the second quarter.

It’s amazing what happens when you try to curtail the opposition’s best players.

 

After the Saints game...

Rowan Marshall: "I'm as good as Gawn & Grundy combined!"

Max Gawn: "Hey Brody, hold my beer."

It was quick thinking and the sign of a team that thinks for themselves on the field. We got nuts when they don't do these things so full credit that we did on this occasion.

 Melky has now cemented his name in the 22. Looks like a rejuvenated man, his dream of playing in a GF, if we get there, is alive. That is, if consistency is his friend.

I also reckon he is important with regards to his relationships with our younger brigade. He would have helped steered them through their growth and have been supportive, during the Casey time. Knows there strengths and weaknesses, and possibly, he is helping to keep them grounded, professional and having an impact. 

I just love the passion in those celebrations after a goal!! He gets the crowd involved and undoubtedly lifts the team. Momentum is everything in this game. Whilst those celebrations are a small part of the game, that passion is contagious.

[censored] Rivers was determined in that play, rolling through the Brisbane players like tenpins 👏, evasive run and superb delivery, just brilliant.

When Rivers did those runs through the center I had a flashback to Steven febey

Amazing the impact it has. I might even get stuck into some of those jobs around the place I have been neglecting the last few weeks (Months)!! Feeling positive and inspired.:)

So, the crowd figure last night was a H & A record between us and the Lions.

Need to share this on Twitter for the clowns who are obsessed with our attendance figures. Without fail there are tweets about our supporters not showing up and/or MFC not “deserving” prime time games because of our attendance.

The May push in the back? Surely you're not going to complain about that blatant indiscretion? It was a hefty shove

No Mac, my point is directed to the inconsistent use of the rule depending on ....i haven't got a bloody clue what, and just in this round really pronounced.

Jake Melsham makes the haters look silly

You are correct and I have been a detractor . On another note I’ve read  criticism of ANB and Jordon. IMV , for this match anyway, the criticisms are unfair. Both got it, a lot, in v tough circumstances . The odd disposal error but they were good value. Interesting that Jordon was preferred on the ground, in the last 10 minutes to Sparrow 

After thinking about it imo Vineys goal is the best one of the game for me. 

His strength in the contest against a much bigger and stronger player, his will to get the ball and determination to kick for goal was enormous in the context of the match.  

He may not always hit targets by foot but bloody hell I love him and am so grateful he is on our side.

Listening right now to him. I wonder if he got any sleep last night. It was so good to see Milkshake stand tall when we really needed him. 

Don't forget Melk's Carlton game last year when he took an enormous pack mark against 4 Blues and kicked a goal with 2min left. Gets forgotten because of Kozzie's miracle goal a minute later to win the match.

He also got the last vital clearance.

  • CASEY: Geelong

    There was a time in the second quarter of the game at the Cattery on Friday afternoon when the Casey Demons threatened to take the game apart against the Cats. The Demons had been well on top early but were struggling to convert their ascendancy over the ground until Tom Fullarton’s burst of three goals in the space of eight minutes on the way to a five goal haul and his best game for the club since arriving from Brisbane at the end of 2023. He was leading, marking and otherwise giving his opponents a merry dance as Casey grabbed a three goal lead in the blink of an eye. Fullarton has now kicked ten goals in Casey’s three matches and, with Melbourne’s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next week’s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forward’s efforts - he finished with 19 disposals and eight marks and had four hit outs as back up to Will Verrall in the second half - it wasn’t enough as Geelong reigned in the lead through persistent attacks and eventually clawed their way to the lead early in the last and held it till they achieved the end aim of victory.

  • REPORT: Geelong

    I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

  • PREGAME: Essendon

    Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

  • NON-MFC: Round 04

    Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?
