He's very Paul Chapmany, maybe slightly less silky. Definitely suits our bash and crash contested game. He's physical and has smarts.

    We lost 2%+ with those late concessions. Pity.

    Agree - very annoying - % will have a big say in the top 4 this year

    I'd love top 4, but I'll take top 8 and winning 1 or 2 finals. Particularly if Trac doesn't get back. It's intriguing that he isn't listed as out for the season, but out indefinitely.

    But you're right, percentage will have a huge say on both, the top 8 and top 4.

    Am I alone in being dissatisfied with the last quarter near capitulation ?

    Near capitulation?! Pull the other one!

    We kicked 5 in the last, they kicked 5 in the last, to overcome our lead they needed to beat us by 3 goals in the last. They didn’t, enjoy a super win.

    What an awesome, gritty and determined win by the MFC. 

    Welcome back Clarry. 

    Welcome back Fritta  

    Goody I’m not a huge fan but well done.  Credit where it’s due. 

    Now rinse and repeat against Freo next week.

    We did.

    But equally if weren't so accurate we would have list more percentage- and might well have lost the game.

    The bombers were pretty impressive I thought.

    The scoreline flattered us a bit, as evidenced by the x score - 71.3 dees to 75.5 bombres

    i think they should be paid significantly more than part-timers

    incentivise the job, and hold them to account

    Only need 3... but they need to do job properly/ proffesionally/ accountable.

    When was last time anyone saw an Ump over-rule because they were better situated/sighted ??

    Great win Demons, missing Trac, Max and Gus for mine 3 of our best 5 players last year!

    Seeing, Rivers, Windsor, McVee, JVR and Turner of the young brigade all step up was terrific. AMW, Kolt are both showing positive signs!

    Melksham has got better in the last two years, I’m not sure why, but he has lifted and last night you could really see his impact in the forward line. Perhaps competing more and selfless in his ball usage might be the difference, I thought he was gone two years ago, but delighted to be wrong.

    Kossie celebrated his 100 with some freakish moments, when he went under Mckays arm and out the other side was incredible, he is just fantastic to watch.

    Langdon, Viney, May, Lever, TMac, and Oliver after 1/4 time all stepped up! 

    Petty not in stellar form, but competed and played role he was asked by coaches! 

    Pressure, tackling, supporting one another to the nth degree was our one wood tonight, plus who knew, we played wet weather football!

    What a great result!!!!!!!

    Go Demons!

    It was good to see us play wet weather football and the other team try to play dry in the wet for a change.

    Huh?

    My point is it’s easy to get caught up the emotions of how it happened with MFCSS and the recent loss to Brisbane and the North debacle on all of our minds but ultimately they never really got close. They didn’t even win the last quarter. 
     

    Not sure what your Biden reference is. I speak in complete sentences. Although if I could run the best program on student debt relief and lowering health care costs in US history alongside a healthy job market and strong economic growth I would.

    I’ve seen “capitulation” written a few times and don’t get it. 

    Bombers threw all they could at us in those last minutes, as any decent team should.

    I was talking to one of their supporters on the train home and I said I think they are definitely moving in the right direction. As much as I hate to say it Scott has them being a much more accountable team, and it will really help their young guys development.

    4 goals in a row was a bit much though

    My twitter feed right now is bizarre. It's 50% insane tweets about Donald Trump's attempted assassination and 50% proud Melbourne supporters pumping up Koltyn Tholstrup and the gang. I may or may not be tweeting on both topics myself, like a madman.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
