That was a gutsy win. With 10 minutes to go, I didn’t think we could hang on. You could see every player was spent. 
But they did it

Great game by Trac. He is truly something special.

Huge kudos to Sparrow, who had a very good game tonight and really looks to have taken his game to another level this year.

Incredible effort. Surely we've just done something no club has ever done before - knock of both of a non Vic state's sides over there in consecutive weeks.

Actually yeah @Chook

Positives: no fresh injuries and another interstate win.

Negatives: goalkicking accuracy (Fritsch apart) a bit below par and last-quarter fadeout.

Special award: Steven May for playing through the pain. We could have lost without him.

Pleasing prospects:

* Chandler rapidly proving we were right to let Bedford go instead of him. 

* McVee another young gun looking the part.

* Windsor handling a steep learning curve with aplomb.

* TMac showing he still has fuel in the tank.

 

 


Just got out of Elvis Costello at the Palais (superb concert by the way) and checked the scores for the first time.

I honestly couldn't care about the inaccurate score line, two wins in a week in hostile territory is a terrific achievement that the media will no doubt fail to bring attention to over the coming week.

Great to see Fritta amongst the goals. Looks set for another 50+ year.

Looking forward to seeing McVee's highlights. Sounds like he was superb.

A great team effort in my opinion. 
not every player can get 20 touches, 

play your part and only a few stuff ups 

 

I only saw a couple and they were early. 
 

easier to pick the average players rather than the best.  It is a GREAT time to follow the mighty DEMONS

That was a very 'Melbourne Season 2023' type game.  

Bit of an ugly mess, but effective D all over the ground.

 

We wanted it ugly, didn't want to get into a shootout with the Camry Crows. During the week the stat was bandied about when Adelaide score less than 100 they are 3-15 or something like that. We wanted a scrap, especially in the last quarter. Petty nails a couple of those set shots and Billings one or two of his chances and it wouldn't have been close.

Superb coaching yet again 👏👏👏

That's such a huge relief.

I thought Billings played well. If he kicked straight he could have had 3 goals.

I thought he was very poor and should've been subbed off for Taj during the 3rd quarter. I understand why they subbed Brown off but Billings was bad, he missed his chances but worse was his tackling, let multiple tackles slip which allowed the Crows to attack when they should've been held up or turned over.

Poor old Matthew Nicks sounded bereft in his presser and they're only four games into their season.

Probably realises he has a pretty poor team to coach 

Apart from a few good players they drop off very quickly 

Chandler and Kozzie 7 tackles each.

JvR with 5 and Petty 3. Some hard work by our forwards.

May, Trac and Mcvee were brilliant and caps up a great week in my city.

Adelaide 0

His busted hand is forcing him to kick more too, which isn't a bad thing.

Can't wait to see Tholstrup in the 1s as well. I have a feeling he'll be another JT special.

The Kolt could come in for Koz.

It was a very professional win, so impressed with this side. Our senior players lead by example, our young players are exceptional. Max, May, Petracca all huge. Windsor, Howes, McVee, Sparrow, JVR, Koz so composed.

Agree, except Koz not composed.  
The stupid likely suspension aside, he also could easily have had Petty’s mark reversed for a silly meaningless late bump.

The only real negative for tonight is  Kozzie’s likely suspension. We really need him next week. Not a lot in it, but enough in today’s game and completely avoidable and unnecessary. 

Leadership need to have a long hard lack to him.   Could cost us a big game later in the season if he  continues this.   He is NOT a thug but let’s himself and the team down.

Susa an archetypical Frittata goal. ❤️💙❤️💙

Play of the game for me. Absolute stunningness or some other superlative that BT would use.

Or he missed three very gettable goals which puts the pressure back on us. A 3-4 goal buffer instead of a 6-7 goal buffer.

What stood out most though is Melbourne pride themselves on contest and defence. Billings provides none of that. His kicking and ball use against Hawthorn was good. They gave him space. In tight contested games like Port and this one, he doesn't want to know about it which is very un-Melbourne like.

 

Windsor, the Kid has got it

We have a deadset Gem here

He will be singing a new contract soon.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
