THE POWER TO WIN (not really)

Featured Replies

Couldn't go today - sick as a dog! Going to watch the game delayed on Channel 7.

 

Shocking clanger from Cale....kicked the ball about 10m straight to a port player.

Jurrah 3 goals looks amazing and Dunn showing something.

Melbourne 4.2 26

Port 3.3 21

 
I'm overseas, just started listening online.

Excited about Jurrah's goals, he took a hanger?

He just gave a nice long handball to set up moloney's goal as well.


 
I want to see Jurrah, anyone know where games can be watched online?

l

Not sure where you can but i really hope you find it cause he is just amazing

Rising Star?

Brownlow :wub:

Morton has lifted his game, nice strong mark and setting up well.

I'll probably get a bit of stick for this, but it looks like Scully is headed elsewhere.

OK well here are some of my thoughts after watching the first half live on TV in Adelaide....

Melbourne up by 2 goals at half time....

Jurrah - The talent people have been talking about is certainly there for all to see today! Unbelievable first half..... 3 goals, a couple of hangers and probably another 3 goal assists.... His awareness is top class and he even launches as the third ruckman, hitting it to advantage in the F50.... Awesome!

Bate - Some really good signs.... With 100% endeavour he looks really classy

Jamar - Great effort in the ruck so far against Brogan and Lade.... Killing it around the ground

Daniel Bell - Enjoy this match mate.... It should and I repeat, SHOULD be your last!! Nowhere near good enough for AFL and I am sick of seeing you try and fail

Wheatley - Your services have been great over the years.... Unfortunately the ride is about to end

All in all it is a good game.... Some really good passages of play but still some bad skill errors and decision making....

Now the question is..... To win or not to win?!?!?!

We shall find out shortly ;)

To add to this

Jetta has had a really good game, his pressure is fantastic.

Cameron Bruce doing what he does every week playing a good steady game.


Yeah the boys are certainly not on board the Scully tank, and unless we dish up our usual 3rd quarter rubbish, we are in real danger of winning this. We should be much further infront as well the way we are dominating.

Jurrah is unbelievable, his vertical leap is phenomenal. Dunn has also been very good and seeing him suck Cornes in was awesome. Jamar, Morton and McLean very good as well.

Hard to not barrack for a victory but...

lol @ "we are in real danger of winning this"

:P

On the AFL Match Centre page there is a half time video that shows highlights of the first half, I can hear the commentary but can't see the vision, is it working for anyone else?

Use Mozilla firefox


 

On a day like today (and last week too), when Bate is playing with good delivery, he plays his best. Without this good delivery, hopeless. Shows how important it is to improve our midfield, to bring the rest of our team up to scratch.

Could go today, gotta play basketball at 5... disappointed.

  • PREVIEW: Carlton

    Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

  • 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 return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

  • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

    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.
