Harris Andrews must have nightmares about Jake Melksham. Legitimately one of the best key defenders in the competition and he gets consistently cooked by a bloke in his 30s who he has 16cm on. You have to give it to Melksham, he is an unbelievable competitor and even towards the end of his career the club can count of him in a pinch. Outside of Jonesy the unluckiest not to have been apart of the premiership side in '21, granted he wasn't in great form at the time but that just makes some of the match-winning performances he's had since that much more special.

    Whilst a number of our old heads cost us early with their fumbling, in contrast our young brigade are so cool in the moment, clean in their ball handling and precise with their disposal. An absolute joy to watch. Melky take a bow. Fantastic anticipation from AJ to boot that crucial goal.

    Very envious of the supporters that made the trip up there. Enjoy your night.

    Lever back means Disco up forward I reckon which prob means AJ is out.

    Disco is a pretty reliable set shot from varying angles.

    Spargo was an extremely important player for us 2021..deserves a chance after nearly 18.months out..

    Sure, 2021 was 4 years ago. And I’m not saying he should be delisted, but he should be dropped to find form.

    That last quarter puts to bed the idea that we aren't fit enough and can't run out games.

    So much of all this is between the ears.

    Melk and Hibberd both came over together. Both seriously good footballers. Different skills, but professional and a cut above the average. They've contributed a lot to our club. We need Langford/Lindsay/Windsor to grow into that type of player. And haven't they started well!

    Bowser for AA this year!

    He has been great, but lets not get carried away. He would just be in the top 10 half backs of the league at the moment.

    If he could get more forward half possessions, goals, inside 50s and score involvements then, he'd be in consideration for sure.

    It IS a grand old flag! So proud … thought it possible the way we hung in there, but that final quarter was epic! Could have been 10.2 rather than 4.8 … but I am NOT complaining!

    Its a bit like Jake Lever when he first got to Melbourne. If you dont put a match-up on Lever, he will run riot. He cannot defend 1-1 very well but is intercept master. Andrews a much better 1-1 defender but his strength is his intercept and rebound game. you take that away from him and well, you get what you get today.

    I was critical of Oliver at the start of Q2 in the game day thread. But he delivered a fantastic second quarter and was a big contributor in the win. Well done, Clarry.

    Yep, I feel regretful for bagging him out early in the thread too.

    He played a really solid game. I love seeing him out there as part of our team

    Fritta looked like he was playing for his career in that last Quarter

    Great to see

    God call SWYL

    He needed to be dropped because he's lacked a fair bit of intent.

    I thought that mark he took on the wing was a ripper.

    Hopefully the old Fritta with more passion is back for good.

    Loved Melk's game, he is like a fine wine, just gets better with age.

    Also really impressed with Sparrow and Chin. Both solid and damaging contributors.

    Clarrie is building I reckon. His handballing in the last three weeks is like the Clarrie of old.

    I really like Sharp and the enthusiasm he brings, but he has the composure of a rabbit on acid.

    Goody coached very well today.

    Go Dee's!

    So, was the Melksham over the shoulder kick that went to Langdon an intentional pass, or a shanked shot at goal? I reckon it happened as intended.

    Melk 100% meant it.

    It was brilliant- he knew he just had to get into space and was able to execute.

    Bybthe by, the dart he kicked on his left to Sparrow in the corridor was a thing of beauty.

    I thought Melksham gave Andrews a bath. Andrew showed him no respect playing so aggressively in front.

    That contest was a big factor in the result.

    • 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 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.
