Scully is a gun. My god he is going to be amazing! :wub:

Apart from that, this quarter makes me want to burn my eyeballs with chlorine.

Horrible horrible decision making and use of the ball, which is pretty much the same old story every time we get on a plane and land in Adelaide.

We started like a house on fire, and kicking at goal cost us a very healthy lead. We are in general playing much better than the scoreboard reflects, and are getting enough of the ball and enough inside 50 entries, but we cannot make the most of our opportunities.

10 points is a nothing lead, and we are absolutely in this game.

P.S.- really good to see Watts take the big hit. Now he just needs to GO FOR GOAL!

lets just hope port run out of legs having just 3 on the bench.... then again MFC have Morton, so i guess its even!!!

So what's the joy with the morton bashingz sure his kicking is off today, but he certainly gets to the right places and has taken some really good contested marks. Now he just has to get the kicking part right, which he can do...

Some stats:

Jamar just 1 handpass, but doing well in terms of hitouts.

Bennell 2 and 2.

Bail 3 and 3, didn't hear his name once in the second quarter.

Jones 2 and 4

Watts 4 and 0, but 3 marks, a goal, and a great effort to wear a bump that got us a goal.

On the other side,

Bruce 9 and 13 (Cornes went to him and slowed him down)

McDonald 9 and 7 (got nice words from Wakelin)

Dunn 10 and 1 with a goal

Moloney 4 and 10

Who is playing on Boak and Gray?

I actually think Bail has been OK.

Dunn clearly our best at half time. Step up Bradley Green!

Turns it over far too much. Of his 7 handpasses in the first quarter I reckon he turned 3 of them over.

Poor decision making though, a few turnovers.

Not sure, I know Jones is on Pearce. I'd hazard a guess that McKenzie or McDonald have one of those jobs. Maybe Bail.

Green playing up the ground. Should be forward.

Edit: Garland's on Gray.

This thread is up and down like the Titanic!!

Some kicking errors severely costing us, otherwise we'd be 5 goals in front.

Not some of the doom & gloom here. Hopefully we can use the ball better and win this game.

Go Dees!!

Am only listening but seems like were being wasteful and too cute. Players oughtn't be out there if they're going to squib their jobs. No place for scaredy cats... Ffs kick it. Even more convinced Morton needs to be moved on if he can't turn ability into a game.

What's disappointing is a lack of intensity, far, far too many turnovers, and Port being allowed to do as they please at times through the middle.

    THE ACCIDENTAL DEMONS by The Oracle

    In the space of eight days, the Melbourne Football Club’s plans for the coming year were turned upside down by two season-ending injuries to players who were contending strongly for places in its opening round match against the GWS Giants. Shane McAdam was first player to go down with injury when he ruptured an Achilles tendon at Friday afternoon training, a week before the cut-off date for the AFL’s pre-season supplemental selection period (“SSP”). McAdam was beginning to get some real mom

    RETURN TO NORMAL by Whispering Jack

    One of my prized possessions is a framed, autographed guernsey bearing the number 31 worn by my childhood hero, Melbourne’s champion six time premiership player Ronald Dale Barassi who passed away on 16 September 2023, aged 87. The former captain who went on to a successful coaching career, mainly with other clubs, came back to the fold in his later years as a staunch Demon supporter who often sat across the way from me in the Northern Stand of the MCG cheering on the team. Barassi died the

We'll break down the Match SIM against North Melbourne and wrap up the preseason with insights into training and our latest recruits.

    GAMEDAY: Match SIM vs North Melbourne

    After an agonizingly long off-season the 2025 AFL Premiership Season is almost upon us and the Demons have their first practice hit out against the Kangaroos in a match simulation out at Arden Street. The Demons will take on the Kangaroos in match simulation play, starting from 10am AEDT and broadcast live on Foxtel and Kayo.
