in Melbourne Demons

I think I'll cry if they play Joel Macdonald as a defensive forward. I might cry if they play him regardless.

    Always liked the way Peter Giles went about it. Amazing comeback really.

    agree Steve... :)

    I'd think Dunn is the man to play defensive forward. He can do the defensive things and is a legitimate threat on the scoreboard. Play him on Hodge.

    i think the fd might try a full man on man effort this week and try to play with a bit of venom

    players tagged will be interesting and maybe some have spoken to mn and have asked for special roles to play

    at least we will get to see abit of fire from the team

    And this is based on what?,,,,a dream perhaps?....a hunch?

    "at least we will get to see abit of fire from the team"....why? ....what leads to this creative conclusion?

    Delusional.

    At least you know what you're getting with Joel Mac, and that is 100% effort for 4 quarters. We could do a lot worse than playing him.

    This is going to sound completely nuts, but here goes...

    IN the bailey ear we played the saints at etihad and joel started as a defensive forward that day. We got some injuries and he had to go back )tappy i think). This was the day that bartrum kicked 40 meters sideways (and about 50 meters in height) slowly to another defender which led to a turnover and a goal against us just as we were pressing hard. I never forgave him for that.

    Anyway I thought Joel was really good - aggressive, tackled hard, hit bodies and worried defenders. Intimidation through intent, I also think that his wonky disposal hurts us less in the forward line and his commitment to contests is a greater asset there.

    I remember that game. He was marking everything, playing as a really good lead up forward.

    Just don't let him anywhere near the goals.

    agreed. Joel McD gives 100% all the times. others could follow his example.

    Boys were training the house down. Cale Morton stopped by and said that the standards were way better than he was used to at West Coast, and that he'll be requesting a trade back to the Dees in October in the hope that he'll be able to crack the top 15 runners at the club. Rohan Bail hit every single target laces out; Gillies looked agile, quick and made great decisions; Sellar was nailing every shot from about 60m out against the breeze.

    Then I woke up.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      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.

    • AFLW REPORT: St. Kilda

      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.
