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.

From a media report on the evening of 28th September 2024:

"Melbourne took Sydney by surprise with the unexpected late inclusion of Christian Petracca, who spent the entire game in the goal square and whose match winning ten goals earned him a second Norm Smith Medal."

Rivers on ABC Radio now just said after running 17.5km, Langdon rode his bike home from the game last night 😂

His aerobic fitness should be medically tested for science

They interviewed him after the game on Channel 7 and on Melbourne FC, and he looked like he'd just got back from a walk around the block when in fact he had just finished a game of footy having run almost 2km further than the next bloke. Absolute freak, and immense weapon for us when we use him this way (100% game time off the far wing running goalpost to goalpost).

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. 

GO DEES 

Yep yep and yep

I think many are undervaluin the return of Milky... his footy is silky ;)

I find it somewhat ironic that it all 'clicked' ...in the rain !! 

May it belt down for all the rest of our games :)

Explain this to me Nathan Willamson. How is this not the purest 50 metre penalty you’ve ever seen?

100%. Shocking to just ignore the ball being flung away carelessly not back to the opponent as per the rules. Could've helped us lock it further up field in the dying moment too etc. The umpiring in the last quarter was disgracefully biased towards Essendon. Was akin to match fixing.

It won’t get a mention because we won but if we had lost this should be getting the same level of attention as the NM- Collingwood non-50.

I cannot fathom any reason for the umpire not to pay this.

Because Nathan Williamson is more worried about getting his 90s boy band hair on tv than being an actually good umpire who makes consistent logical decisions. 
The fact that I know his name and number means he’s a rubbish umpire.

He is honestly one of the best athletes that's played the game. Get him to the Olympics to run the track events but bring him back for Melb games, probably won't even break a sweat.

Terrific win. I’m glad I went to the game in the end even if it was with a Bombers supporter mate.

I know we conceded the last 4 but it didn’t really feel like a 7 goal win, more like a 5 goal win so to give up 2 more than that is only a slight disappointment.

Oliver, Windsor, Rivers, McVee, Turner, JVR all huge. I thought it was a really even performance. Petty got smashed in the ruck and wasn’t great up forward but I think we need him for next week to occupy Freo’s defence.

How true.

Seriously think we would have won a flag and be second possies right now had he not gone down last year before finals.

Well we found out that Goodwin has a plan B, we can play in the wet and our contest game is still one of the best in the game.

Kozzie, Riv and Langdon were simply superb. Roo was great, Windsor, McVee and even Tholstrup were relentless and provided spark and excitement as did AMW

Disco is a great kick, TMac is solid and Melk is just a brilliant competitor. Oliver started to show glimpses of his old self and Nibbler shut down their Captain. May was back to being a rock

We are forming a strong belief at the right time of the season and despite Gawn and Petracca, are relatively healthy.

 A tough few weeks ahead but we are in with a shot.

Can you afford an Avo for each remaining game ?  Be well spent ;)

Avos are reserved for Essendon only. $50 - $80 for Collingwood (depending on level of hate at the time) and $20 for all others. 👍🏽

Funny you should mention his hair, Jaded. Ryan, our awesome chant-leader, was told by security at a match earlier this year that Williamson had officially complained about Ryan calling him “Haircut.” 😂 Ryan has been pulled up on many occasions for ‘umpire abuse’ something we’re forbidden to do. It’s due to the usual non-complimentary descriptions, but never something like “Haircut” 😅😅😅

If he complained about that, I can imagine his displeasure at some of the lovely things I was telling him to do last night.

I really hope you don't have to work today WCW.

Work???? I’m lucky just to be walking around today. I’m sore all over and bruised in the weirdest places, from freezing my saturated @zz off and wielding heavy wet props with zero feeling in my purple hands, dancing to our awesome drum (played by a 10yo boy, mind you) jumping around with same-level nuffies, falling over and falling off (kids- never stand on wet slippery seats no matter how excited you are) and the long walk home coz I missed the last bus. But you know what??!! I WOULDN’T CHANGE A FREAKING THING.

Beating Essendon is worth every bruise, every sore muscle, and frostbitten toes. 😁🥳🕺🪩🥰

Same umpire who paid that horrible deliberate out of bounds and the throw against McDonald.

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
