in Melbourne Demons

Whoever is playing on Ablett is doing a good job. Only 8 touches so far.

Jordie is and so far so good, mind you, this is do or die for Jordz.

 

Go Jack!!

comparing our game to the other game on tonight, its like they are 2 different sports

I agree, I have them both on here. Intensity is worlds apart
 

Bloody awful to watch but getting it back to a 4 point game is a good effort.

Jack Watts proves he is our best player by doing what no one else in our team could do! Goal of the year!

Edited by deanox


If Watts does leave, we'll get a lot of offers for him.

The kid is one of the most talented up and comers in the AFL IMO.

Jordie is playing Ablett better than most players have all year.

Or, do you not even know who he is playing on?

Can't kick, can't handball unless its to a player hotter than himself and lacks composure but yeah... He can tag a player ill give him that.

Go Dees!
 

Is it McKenzie?

Also, for help, where is Davis playing? Forward? Does that mean Watts is in defence?

Yes to both.


Trengove, N.Jones and Viney with 14 touches each.

so far Trengoves best game in 2 years

But how frustrating that the 'captain' Grimes misses a shot from 15 metres out to put us in front


My god. Tony Shaw is getting even worse. I've never been this frustrated with commentary

Can't kick, can't handball unless its to a player hotter than himself and lacks composure but yeah... He can tag a player ill give him that.

As soon as Jordie goes off Ablett, Nicho goes onto him and Ablett racks the ball up at will - and HURTS us!!

Mate, no disrespect, but you have no idea about football if you believe McKenzie is having a bad game tonight.

He is playing on the best midfielder in the history of the game and shutting him out, all the touches Ablett has are when Jordie is having a breather.

Keep in mind, I am McKenzies biggest critic, but credit where credie is due, Jordie has been one of our most important players tonight.

That was my 2nd favourite quarter of the year.

Year they got a run on, but I can't remember is regaining composite like that at any other stage. We changed or structure and style, stopped pushing so hard and started holding the ball. Released players for the switch.

We actually played smart football. And if we have kicked straight at the end we'd be in front*.

*the same goes for them in the first half of the quarter.

But Watts has kicked two goals...is he playing HBF?

Yep. His first goal came before he was moved back where is now playing as the loose man. His second goal he had acres of space running off HB. Quality finish after almost fluffing it.


Nicho is the worst player I've ever seen on a Melbourne list.

hard to argue with

Loving the stuff from our younger boys:

Viney (11 touches in first Q)

Kent (showing up Blease)

Clisby (great offensively)

Strauss (Great offensively and has laid some good tackles)

Tappy (attacks every contest and is a good lead up player)

Watts (Watts is finally a man - he now has balls)

We are spreading in the middle and taking the game on.

The umpires are a joke tho and the commentators are trying to find any excuse possible to explain why Ablett doesn't have 30 touches already.

2 for 12 in the cricket.

AAAARRRGHHH

Warner fails again!!

20/20 player number one!!

 

My god. Tony Shaw is getting even worse. I've never been this frustrated with commentary

have you ever listened to BT? absolute [censored]

That was the arsiest goal of the year from Watts. Still great composure to slot it from 50 under pressure.

Loved Kent's attack on the ball. Might get a game on the sidelines, but well worth it.

Jack Viney is great in close and frees up Jones a little.

Jordie is doing a great job tagging.

All in all, it could be worse.

  • REPORT: St. Kilda

    When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

  • CASEY: Sandringham

    The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
    Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

  • PREGAME: West Coast

    The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

    It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
