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

    Maybe the best win since 2021. We had to dig so deep… such a satisfying victory. WAnb, Rivers, BBB, track. gawny… all huge. 

    and what the hell do we have here re Windsor?? couid be anything. what a goal

    Gus used to joke that he could never get a 4 pack, let alone a 6 pack. Muscles don’t equal fitness. 
     

    I agree.

     

    But look for footage I am talking about, speaks volumes

    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

    Absolutely huge win on the road at Feral Park. Lost my voice watching from home which I rarely do when not at the game.

    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.

    Ratugolea’s goal was my favourite.
    If I was Kossie, I would’ve high-fived him. 

    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).

    • GAMEDAY: Geelong

      It's Game Day, and reinforcements are finally arriving for the Demons—but will it be too little, too late? They're heading down the freeway to face a Cats side returning home to their fortress after two straight losses, desperate to reignite their own season. Can the Demons breathe new life into their campaign, or will it slip even further from their grasp?

    • PREVIEW: Geelong

      "It's officially time for some alarm bells. I'm concerned about the lack of impact from their best players." This comment about one of the teams contesting this Friday night’s game came earlier in the week from a so-called expert radio commentator by the name of Kane Cornes. He wasn’t referring to the Melbourne Football Club but rather, this week’s home side, Geelong.The Cats are purring along with 1 win and 2 defeats and a percentage of 126.2 (courtesy of a big win at GMHBA Stadium in Round 1 vs Fremantle) which is one win more than Melbourne and double the percentage so I guess that, in the case of the Demons, its not just alarm bells, but distress signals. But don’t rely on me. Listen to Cornes who said this week about Melbourne:- “They can’t run. If you can’t run at speed and get out of the contest then you’re in trouble.

    • 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?

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      For a brief period of time in the early afternoon of yesterday, the Casey Demons occupied top place on the Smithy’s VFL table. This was only made possible by virtue of the fact that the team was the only one in this crazy competition to have played twice and it’s 1½ wins gave it an unassailable lead on the other 20 teams, some of who had yet to play a game.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      In my all-time nightmare game, the team is so ill-disciplined that it concedes its first two goals with the courtesy of not one, but two, fifty metre penalties while opening its own scoring with four behinds in a row and losing a talented youngster with good decision-making skills and a lethal left foot kick, subbed off in the first quarter with what looks like a bad knee injury.
