AMW getting subbed off was purely about fitness. We had a lot of kids running on a very heavy track. I expected us to run out of gas to be honest.
Did not help making the sub and then immediately losing Rivers for 10 minutes to a shoulder jab and strap. 
 
Also McVee running rings around Porky Stringer was delightful. 

 

Won at selection

Goody is a coaching genius!

 

I don't know why they didn't put Stringer into the centre after half time. He was doing nothing forward. I only saw him on the ball in the last 15 mins

This is exactly what I thought - it can’t be true. Can it?!?

It happened with North too. I’d like to think it’s not intentional from the umpires. Maybe when the momentum shifts the umpires just get sucked in.

My only negative is that they subbed the wrong player off. How Bowey kept playing when AMW was actually playing well is beyond. 

Bowey is a huge worry for me moving forward alongside Petty and Sparrow.

Judd McVee out marking Lance Whitnall was the highlight for me on too of many others of course.  Kid is a serious talent. 

Bowser lost some bad contests and didn’t use it as well as he could but AMW was spent and creating huge defensive holes with his lack of concentration and work rate. Absolutely the right guy to take off.

Bowser playing like a guy who had a bad injury and couldn’t do weights for a long time. I’m not too worried, although the life of an undersized defender is that you better be on your game or it gets rough quickly. 

Special praise for Van Rooyen for outstanding effort in  the ruck, which helped turn the tide after Petty's woeful first-quarter effort.

Add Petty's underwhelming performances as a forward and his trade value must have dropped by at least 50 per cent this season.

Maybe he  needs to return to the backs to move his game forward.

Sarah Black on the AFL site is a very good football journo/analyst. 

She didn’t have McVee in her best 6 players.

Seriously?

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. Kolt, 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!!!! 🔥💙❤️

Windsor is fire 

Every time I see him take off along that wing, I see Robbie Flower. The resemblance is astonishing.

OK I'm in london & just saw the scores. Oh my god I'm so happy.

How did we win this?

How did we go in the ruck?

Maybe we need to trust goody and his plans.

Go dees. What a weekend,  pies lose and so do the bummers

We suffocated them most of the game. Typical Melbourne type game.

Petty tried but got beat, JVR went to the ruck and did very well.

Agree amw was great in every contest. Bowey , Salem or sparrow should have been subbed

Picket fence right behind him. Haven't seen him on this thread yet.

Fence has already posted on this thread. Blow me down with a feather - it was another broken record post about bringing in Jefferson, just like the other three hundred.

I swear there used to be a story every preseason that the package has got himself fit and is going to dominate this year… then he never did and he never did and they’ve finally stopped writing those articles.

So we kept stringer goaless. Who was on him?

Hope we use this confidence & win to beat freo next week 

McVee.


At the game today, that Windsor goal was out-[censored]-rageous skill in those conditions, I doubt the TV replays will do it justice. 

Some other thoughts: Melksham has made such a difference that I'm starting to think his ACL might have cost us a flag. Disco Turner is kicking for my life no doubt about it. McVee is unbeatable. It was great to see Jake Lever so invested and celebrating appropriately on the siren. May is as stiff as a board but still playing great. 

And finally, 22 is an actual disgrace. I generally don't like to mention them but he deserves a special mention. Some of his decision making defied logic. 

Just got home from a nice evening out and about to watch the replay.

Fantastic result and well done to Goodwin and the coaching team. 

Go Dees!!

 

I don’t mind putting the queue in the rack late in games, as long as you pick up a fricking baseball bat and brain the opposition.
 Almost needed some of ET’s medication.

Collingwood lose, Carlton lose, Essendon lose and the mighty Demons WIN!

It's the quintessential quadrella of quality.  Woo hoo!

  • 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.

    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.
