5 day break was always going to be a factor. Reflect on that before criticising the last 10 too much

Richmond had a shorter break and were full of running

Top 5 worst games of AFL footy I’ve ever seen. From a Dees perspective, we’re very very ordinary of course, but without the best ruckman the game’s ever seen, I think we might be the worst team in the league. At the moment. Things can improve no doubt. And they will. Hopefully. 71,000 at the G, and they all should feel robbed.

If my grandma had wheels, she’d be a bicycle.

Enjoy the win.

Gee we have a knack of picking up tall forwards who have no physical presence whatsoever. Fullerton, Schache, Weideman to name a few.

Nice boys

How'd that go for them in the 3rd? Who GAF about clawing some token goals back when the game is dead and buried?

That's because they took the third quarter off

Bowser was huge tonight.

Gawn is the best ruck I’ve ever seen and tbh quite possibly the best Dee I’ve seen.

Viney was a beast, 15 tackles.

Windsor needs to burn this boots, kid butchered it more tonight than he did all last year I reckon.

3qtr was elite and what we should be aspiring for each and every qtr.

Arrogant coaching by Goodwin for taking Gawn off.

Awful finish and now only few positives to come out after what was heading towards a really strong win.

Meh.

2017 ... who missed finals by %? It wasnt West Coast.

We need quite a few 10 goal wins, if finals are still on our radar.

Coming off a short break, and the highest pressure rating in a third quarter this season, I can tolerate a last quarter drop-off on this particular occasion. Obviously it won’t go unnoticed, and our last quarters will remain a focus as we press on.

But geez, some of you really need to learn to enjoy a win.

Why should Gawn being off the ground result in the our players slacking off their efforts?

Also what has Gawn sitting on the bench to do with some pathetic Melbourne turnovers hitting Richmond players on the chest?

This is the thing, no issue with resting Max but the rest of the team has to keep competing when he’s off the ground and we just stopped running and handed them goals. Should’ve at least shut the game down.

Who were all those posters who wrote off Salem?

Are they still around?

He is so important to our back 6 and controlled the game tonight

If he got those floating chip kicks out of his game he would be even better.

I got the feeling that opposition just a little better than Richmond would have found us out tonight.

The most pleasing part was the response after half time, we flexed. I know some will criticise the last 15 mins where the Tigers jagged a few. It was NBA like, player management ( Gawn, May). The game was done and dusted.

Worry about percentage later, bank wins. Bowey unreal.

Huge game next week.

Fullarton showing why it took Goodwin so long to give him a game.

Has to be in the conversation for best Melbourne player ever. Definitely the best in my Millenial lifetime.

My partner asked me tonight what Melbourne would do when Gawn finishes up. I changed the topic - honestly I can’t and don’t want to ponder that.

You can only beat what’s in front of you. We’ll see if the hypotheticals play out in due course.

you one of those glass half full fellas yeah?

Secured the game then eased off mentally. who cares?

I reckon this kind of attitude represents exactly why we are 2-5.

Easing off mentally leads to bad habits and I guess we can expect more mediocre performances then.

Meh.

I wouldn't say it's arrogance. We were 40 points up coming off on a 5 day break with a trip to Perth.

We got to cute with our kicks and gave up easy goals.


Great win. 3rd quarter epic. Boys took their foot off the pedal in the last. It was obvious. Junk time goals for Richmond. Teams have done it to us in the past and we’ve called it out. Shouldn’t be any different when we’re in the lead. Go Dees.

Here's the issue though (and I'm someone who always rated Salem): why do we get such up and down performances from him? At his age and experience level we should be getting consistently decent output. But we get good games mixed in with shockers. Much like we've gotten from the majority of similarly experienced MFC players over the years.

The coaches must be so frustrated. So many of our senior players seem to perform like rookies. You expect and work around the inconsistency of youth...but if you can't rely on your senior players executing their role consistently then what hope do you have?

Yes and Clarry's pressure and contested possesions was the HIGHEST of any player in that quarter for the season!

This is the cheapest trick on Demonland to cherry pick the first good game someone plays in god knows how long and call out the haters for doubting them.

Agree that hr played a good game but wind it in a bit!

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
