Really thought Oliver was unfairly pinged a lot Tonight.

Very inconsistent umpire on htb. Hot then cold then hot

    These wins galvanise teams. 

    We stepped up and despite seemingly trying to kick ourselves out of it, did what we had to do, when we needed to do it. Highlights for me, Caleb clutch tackle and goal, and the FRIBBLER! 

    A great outcome to nab this one. I still think the Blues are more dangerous. Win that, and we are on our way. If we play with the same pressure and kick better we will cover them. 

    Proud of the grit shown by the boys.

    Go Dees 🔥

     

    But we still need to improve the kicking, it was the reason we lost against Collingwood and Carlton in the finals.

    But overall a great performance.

    Wow. Gut wrenching last quarter.

    Thank you  Jeremy.

    Max - you led us to victory.

    Lever - the rock.

    Petty - welcome back

    Langdon - you can have a rest now.

    Fritsch - how the hell you were never drafted at 18yo, I will never know. You are simply brilliant.

    Suck on that Cats. I love beating that team.

    Goal of the season to Fritsch. Magic effort to win it.

    Defensively brilliant all night. Lever superb.

    Great to see Petty clunking them and back in form.

    Goal kicking not good. Far out we nearly kicked it away.

    We’re up to our necks in it this year. Make no mistake.

    Go Dees

    A few more highlights, obviously Lever a one man fortress. Probably BOG. And so good to have Petty’s mitts back on. Once he gets the feet working again, he will be a big asset. His marks were so important. 

    watching the vision right now you can see how happy the boys are for Petts. Great to see.

    How old was he when we recruited him? 21?

    I apologise for the doom and gloom in the match thread, I just can't help it. Everything about this game pointed to another heartbreaking, self inflicted loss.

    Thank god it wasn't.

    Petty the MVP.

    We’re in the hunt for the premiership. Make no bones about it. We’re a top 4 team. 
     

    I thought Geelong would beat us tonight and I am bloody wrapped how wrong I was. 
     

    we are fixing our forward issues and there was clear evidence in that game. 
     

    Petty getting the cobwebs off.

     

    [censored] bring on the blues and let’s see how they like us this year.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

    • PREGAME: Carlton

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
