What round did Jake Bowey come in during 2021?   Woey Bowey has a rhythm to it. 

Certainly very versatile substitute option but may have earned a full game next week. 

He won 7 in a row including finals so say Rd 18-19?

Trac was harassed all night, often illegally, but he stood up and took them on. What a star. What a game.

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.  ❤💙💙💙

Hope we can get him a flag for 7 years of service for the club as it might be his final year

Won us a game against Carlton last year and again tonight.

Also the argument that Gawn isn’t a generational ruckman and the best in the game needs to end. He is a giant of a man and tonight he showed us why he is the best ruckman in the competition hands down.

Best win since '21 GF.

Grundy stays in the vfl. Trade him if possible. 
Kozi remains further up the field. Running back towards goal he just looks so lethal. 
Trac phenomenal. how many 4 goal, 26+ touch players are there in the league? Worth every cent of the $1mil he makes. 
Gawn just huge. The opposition just cannot compete with that kind of dominance. 
loved Rivers at the end. one on one wins and driving his legs and moving the game forward.

 If we're going to be serious at the end of the year we need to keep competing like this. Loved it.

Do we take Jack Viney for granted ? 
 

Jack doesn’t need the captaincy to be a leader. He’s the fabric and heart n soul of our club.

My take - not that it matters much - we started on fire but could not maintain it  as Lions took control. Quarters 2 and particular 3 were pathetic. I mean shocking ala 2020 style - lost and seemingly not interested.

4th quarter was the Melbourne we all love. We took the game on and were able to score. Goody needs to give the boys more freedom and allow them to play like this. It’s harder to defend and we will concede some score but the forwards were bought into the game.

Unbelievable win, our leaders were huge. 
Gawns game was great, Melksham’s couple of marks and goals were seriously clutch. I know Rivers can turn it over but I just love the way he takes the game on. I also can’t believe how good Judd McVee is, the composure he has for such a young player is amazing. 
What a start to the weekend.

Max was a mountain all night. I only fear for his longevity in the game as his body has been taking an absolute beating (illegally so) for the majority of his career.

Men with guns came running I was screaming so loud, (they thought they had an active shooter inside the wire) here in Baidoa, Somalia.

We are 4-4 against top 4. Media commentators GAGF, nothing being taken for granted by Melbourne players, we were cooked more than a Chiko roll in a Frankston Fish&Chip shop and did not give up.

I am sorry Jake.

Can the haters say sorry to Goodwin, he’s changed things, tried things, and obviously has more of clue than the numb nuts on this forum. We are a team, two of the best mids in club history come out of the center, in goes Angus, Jordan, Pickett, and Sparrow to get the job done. People need to acknowledge that our club trains kids well and is lead by a first class coach.

Viney is my personal Jesus, Oscar 206cm, 110kg stripped by Jack 178cm, 84kg, another entry for the JV made me cry.

Trac, OMG, boomshakalaka, finding ways to will himself back into the game.

Joel Smith is the sub.

Still Woewodin, looks like he belongs.

…loving Jonathan Brown crack it on FNF.

Also my comments would have been the same had we lost by 1-18pts, the effort was there. Brisbane should have won, they lost their heads and started going down the line instead of taking the game on. Which was the way we smashed them early.

McVee was silk again.

More to say, after a rewatch.

Think we are all shell shocked.

Didnt look a chance. Brisbane stopped, we took advantage of it.

Liked the 1 ruckman set up. Max played well solo.

Still think we are too slow.

But well done boys 👍👍👍

Was surprised that they tried to save the game instead of taking it on but it was good to see us keep pushing to the end.

We can use Grundy when Max retires, Use Grundy as a Fwd/Ruck support.

Still in shock but boy am I going to enjoy this weekend. 

Just listened to the last two minutes of the Triple M call and Luke Darcy, for the first time ever, was all over Melbourne. Nice change to hear some support from media commentators.

I think he still prefer him up forward.

But when he came on he made our backline much more assured then Petry did.

Petty needs a few weeks spell.

Up forward or down back, his strength marking and pace are such assets.

I agree that I like him up forward too, but tonight, Kossie, Trac, Melksham, Brown & Co got the goods in the end, although it didn't look all that pretty at times.

Actually thought BBB has been decient and helped our structure and ball movement up there since he's been back

With his follow up and ground ball game, I’d put him in for Spargo as a crumbing forward 🤪

Genuinely rapt for Melksham. Has struggled to win over a few fans along the way but like him or not he just forced his way into Demon folklore. Brilliant.

We're like an amateur golfer, we finally figured out how to hit straight off the tee but we lost all semblance of a short game.

It's hopefully coming soon but when our defence is on, our midfield is firing and the forward line is converting and accurate, we're gonna take some serious stopping.

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.
