How many games have we lost in the past when we dominated the inside 50's , it's obviously not the most important stat. Even Port's first 3 goals were from chaos type i50 entries. You can can get lucky but entries like that don't generally win you games

It's March you just want wins on the board, playing premiership footy now is pointless.

Win tough games interstate at any time and it builds momentum and confidence.

And luckily with no fresh injuries.

Playing differently this year. We won't lead the I50s as much as we have previously.  

So much better, our forward line is less congested which leads to less stagnation there and allows our crafty forwards and bustling players to get to work.

Outside of the GF it's one of the best wins I've seen live. ANB deserves a hug.

Aah, that was beautiful!

Stuff it. 
I’m going to watch it again and savour every verbal abuse and angry look from the crowd that went with some fine play by our Dees.  
I said on Tuesday that I thought they might throw a cracker at us, and I wasn’t far wrong.

Conor Rozee is a [censored] disgrace and ANB is a [censored] boss. One of my favourite H&A wins in the Goody era. Superb. 

I’m convinced Rozee made the Rivers tackle look worse than it actually was. That was a bullshiit decision

We hung in and stole that one. Impressive...

I don't know that we stole it. It was a tough game start to finish. They got off to a flier then we dominated from midway through the first to about midway through the 2nd. They wrested momentum back when Gawn and Oliver had a rest in the 2nd. We withheld some heavy attack from them in the 3rd then put the foot down at the start of the last. Esava going off for a period was key but Oliver started dominating around the contest in the last. They were missing Powell-Pepper and Horne-Francis but May was out for us. I think it was just a great 59/50 game and we came out on top as we had the grit for a bit longer. If it went another 5 minutes they may have got over us but thems the breaks.

Yep, that was special.

When you imagine a great Benny Brown game that is exactly what comes to mind. Fantastic work rate, continually leading up at the ball and a dead eye dick in front of goal. The big fella is a difference maker when he plays like that.

One of Nib’s best games in the red and blue. Windsor is going to be a star. Midfield stars stood up when it mattered.

JV choking up post match said it all.

One of those wins that just make you proud to support this footy club.

Yes … and it was also a sling. Rivers needs to learn from that.,

T-Mac won't go in the best on field. But he was just brilliant I thought. Kept Dixon to 1 goal, made life difficult for Charlie all night. He had 7 intercept possessions and went at 100% disposal efficiency.

Yes, and we did it in a way that is MFC in 2024. Absorb and let them flounder with no space in their F50, and then get a turnover and slingshot with kicking to forwards leading at the ball. (Ironically this is how teams beat us the last few years - when you are all about forward half turnover and can’t move the footy from the other arc - you have no space.)

Thats why we have 22+ scoring shots from 45 I50s.

This is actual footy, it’s been missing entirely the last couple of years. So glad it’s back.

Is it a coincidence we bring in BB and Petty and all of a sudden our forward efficiency improves?

Likely big targets who can play straighten us up.

so poor wasn’t it. In a tight game.

Thought Marty Hore did a good job down back. It's a pleasure having him back at the club. 

He's a steady defender, just needs to relax on giving away some silly free kicks 🤣

I'm proud to say that today's match was the first Melbourne game I've attended interstate. 

What a bloody win. Couldn't be prouder of the boys. 

I was there too.  I know it depends to a large degree on where you sit but from my perspective, Collingwood supporters are far, far more feral than Port’s. 
(I still can’t get over how they started chanting their stupid chant when Brayshaw was knocked out cold on the ground in last year’s final).

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE
