Thing is Disco is playing extremely good footy as the third tall down back.

Could never understand why Goodwin would drop him.
Can be swung forward too.

Learnings: 4 quarters of high pressure footy, teamwork and never-say-die footy is a winning combo!!! ❤️

I continue to be impressed with Bowey's rapid rise this season.

Many could argue that he gets a lot of easy ball with his role but there were several occasions where he put his body on the line.

Went at 86% DE as well.

Good call.

Went off the boil after his shoulder injury

He's back to his best this year.

Which is bl56dy damn good.

Edited by leave it to deever

I leant today I love Melbourne FC and footy.

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

Nah ... AJ is so useful and bruising - and gives it all with a gusto that the big 'uns in opposition did not expect - he can replace Spargo who, IMO, is an under-performer. AJ, Lever and Disco as a fwd might well make us a regularly nasty proposition. Chandler was a great contributor in this game, as well.

100% i had him delisted in the near future at the start of the season, but he has turned it around epically. I'd love to see him get on a few chains and HB receives and kicking it from the front half more as well. Once/if those score involvements start going up, then he'll start getting noticed a lot more as well.

You seriously had Bowey down as a possible player to delist? Unbelievable.

 

You know, had we converted against the Hawks last week - we had them on toast - and won, we would be just outside the 8 on percentage only. Instead we're 1 win + %, but that's nothing in the scheme of a long season and we're still in the front 9.

Looks like we're winding up and the team is starting to believe.

With Viney and Lever back, that'll just about be the best, and most settled team we can put forward.

With a consistent team, gaining in belief and fitness, who knows?

He has been crucial in getting our slingshot game going and was fantastic again today. Really growing into the role after his injury interrupted season last year.


Shout out the the Melk.
He stated a couple years ago he was playing every game like his last.
Just keeps on keeping on.

Fritsch needs to bring that effort consistently. That's the standard now. Great cameo as sub.

Melksham was unreal.

Gawn's late clunks were huge.

Again great call.

Last two sentences especially.

How great to have a quality forward that plays with so much intensity in Melksham.

He was even considerate enough to give his opponent a drink.

And I suppose a bath.

Bowey has become elite. What a great game. He missed that target on the wing, otherwise he was superb. Won so many clutch moments.

A game high 10 intercept possessions, 5 score involvements and 1 goal assist at 86% DE.

A+ Bowser! 👏👏👏

Delisting was abit of a stretch but he fell off a cliff last year after being KO'd.

I'll forever be convinced that we win the flag in 2023 if he didn't get injured.

We were one forward short and he was in fine form. He shows up in big games too.

Yeah, big loss at a bad time.

Can't wait to watch the replay.

May even watch some other footy shows. Probably not classified as much as I'd like to see smug McClure praise our win

Lindsay's second half was huge.

He learns, onfield, against them all - atoning for let-downs from others; the thinking footballer, with silky skills and separating pace.

I'm in with your theory on that. We lacked the ability to kick goals, it's exactly what he does.

We lose Petty, Melk, and Brayshaw. All three impact our ability to score (Gus going down meant Trac couldn't play forward).

Wow wow wow!!

Best win in years!!!

Fantastic effort by the boys.

I needed that!!

 

My 6yo (who got his first membership this year) has sung the song about 80 times since the last siren. What a sight.

That's why we follow these things - as silly as it may all be some time - a bunch of strangers running around an oval, eliciting these big emotions. Getting us all riled up, excited, euphoric and broken, sometimes all in a minute.

Then we run out, the underdogs, with the footy world and media having written us off. Our culture scrutinised every single moment.

And we claim the win. Away from home. The song sung louder than it has in a long time.

This is why we share these moments with our loved ones.

Go Dees ❤️

    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.
