AMW awesome first qtr

Fabulous first half?

Nibbla's role on a rampagaing Merrett 💪🏼

What a diff a Milkshake makes!

And that Disco inferno!  Burn baby burn


My hat goes off to Nibbler.

Merritt could have been so damaging, but was kept reasonably quiet, particularly in the 2nd and 3rd quarters

Nibbler's fitness and ability to put on pressure was immense

The umpires tried to snatch it in the end, but no dice!! 

GREAT WIN! My takeaways:

- I think we saw a rebirth for the team against the Lions. Great pressure for the whole game. Intense. Belief.

- The kids are the future. Disco kicking big goals, McVee’s skills in the wet, Kozzie doing things only he can. Rivers continues to step up. Windsor had another cracker. Great vision and speed. Jolt, love his grit. 

- WITHOUT Trac and Gawn. No axtual ruck. This is our character. 

- The bombers are FRAUDS and CHEATS! I’m glad we helped to show them up and help them back down the ladder (although their soft draw will continue to help). 

- How good was Langdon?

- How missed was Melksham?? 

Great night, always love beating these mugs. Only disappointment was not winning by 40+ but I can live that that. 

HERE WE COME!!!! 🔥💙❤️

Essendon are a danger to lose against the Crows next week.

I think the rain forcing centre square throwups must or should have been a great advantage to Draper.  The bad bounces are so random it takes away some of his natural advantages.

Indeed.

I expected we would win.

So certainly not against the odds from where I sit.

I tipped us so that counts as having faith 

How [censored] good was that. Without our two greatest players, 8 point game, our kids dominated. We are suddenly looking ominous.


Great win, loved the effort, who cares about the last 5 mins. I am concerned about sparrow, bowser and Salem very ordinary and liabilities

That was bizarre umpiring in the last 5 minutes.

For example the bombers throwing the ball all night and they pluck one out of nowhere against rivers.

 

The umpiring is an absolute joke, they did what they could to get the Bombers back in it - I don't think they favour teams, they just get caught up with the crowd/momentum and err on the side of the team making the comeback.

Bunch of pea hearts the Peptides,

front running 💩

Credit to McKay.

They would have been list without him.

A thought experiment.

Imagine taking draper and Merrett out of the bombers team tonight (the equivalent of gawn and tracc).

 

I do not understand how that wasn’t a 50 to Lever at the end of the game, and I was going ballistic, and a security guard came over and told me to calm down, and everyone around us told him to [censored] off.

And people say Melbourne supporters are soft. We look after our own.

I had a great feeling about this one coming in but didn't want to mozz it. Even without Gawn our pressure game has really lifted the last couple of weeks and playing the kids instead of NQR journeyman has given the team a real shot of energy/enthusiasm. Plus Essendon are flakey, they crumble under pressure.

Dunno how we'll go for the rest of the year but if we keep getting games into the kids, keep giving midfield minutes to Riv and Koz and keep giving Roo more time up forward with Melksham and Fritsch I think we are in decent shape moving forward.

100%.
Love watching the young fellas go about their business.
Got abit of excitement about 'em.
And they can all kick .... Amazing.
 

Huge win! Last 5-10 minutes aside we were easily the better team tonight. To do that without our two best players was massive.

My personal standouts were Rivers and Langdon. Rivers looks set to be a gun midfielder. There barely seems to be a weakness in his game. Langdon easily had his best game in two years. He seemed to be on the decline early in the year but he's gradually returning to his old self.

Onwards and upwards! We're 10-7 and 6th, anything can happen from here.

Same here.

My right foot was playing up something shocking all day.

Judd mcvee is a 200 gamer right? Right?? 
 

He is an absolute star and seeing that [censored] stringer getting absolutely towelled up was just so amazing to see.

Heart and soul.

His critical defensive effort inside the bombers' 50 late in the first that started a scoring chain, ending with koz's goal was so important.

  • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

    The media has performed a complete reversal in its coverage of the Melbourne Football Club over the past month and a half. Having endured intense criticism from all quarters in the press, which continually identified new avenues for scrutiny of every aspect, both on and off the field, and prematurely speculated about the departures of coaches, players, officials, and various employees from a club that lost its first five matches and appeared out of finals contention, the narrative has suddenly shifted to one of unbridled optimism.  The Demons have won five of their last six matches, positioning themselves just one game (and a considerable amount of percentage) outside the top eight at the halfway mark of the season. They still trail the primary contenders and remain far from assured of a finals berth.

  • REPORT: Sydney

    A few weeks ago, I visited a fellow Melbourne Football Club supporter in hospital, and our conversation inevitably shifted from his health diagnosis to the well-being of our football team. Like him, Melbourne had faced challenges in recent months, but an intervention - in his case, surgery, and in the team's case, a change in game style - had brought about much improvement.  The team's professionals had altered its game style from a pedestrian and slow-moving approach, which yielded an average of merely 60 points for five winless games, to a faster and more direct style. This shift led to three consecutive wins and a strong competitive effort in the fourth game, albeit with a tired finish against Hawthorn, a strong premiership contender.  As we discussed our team's recent health improvement, I shared my observations on the changes within the team, including the refreshed style, the introduction of new young talent, such as rising stars Caleb Windsor, Harvey Langford, and Xavier Lindsay, and the rebranding of Kozzy Pickett from a small forward to a midfield machine who can still get among the goals. I also highlighted the dominance of captain Max Gawn in the ruck and the resurgence in form in a big way of midfield superstars Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver.
