Featured Replies

Haven't see you for a while Clint. Going to fill the board if Dees win (or lose)?

Been very ill so only back on deck this week. Hope the boys go okay!

 
 

loving jkh. definatly missing our big 3 talls, so this is to be expected.. apart from our lack of finishing, i think our skills and endevour is promising.. i repeat promising for this time of year

That's one hell of a tackle from Jerome Howe there. No goal though...


Howie!!

Max King looking OK too.

Should be 4 goals up

Frustrating but very promising signs

 

Fluke super goal from some richmond loser

we are easily outplaying them


welcome back clint

Thanks. Feeling poorly. Hoping the D's can pick me up!

Very frustrating... We look alright but we've gotta capitalise!!

thats what we are looking for.... Im interested to see how the boys react to this little run on tigers have.... Last year, this was the end of the game...

Strauss may have lovely disposal on the training track, but put him on a football field and he is genuinely inept.

Until he created that goal by the long aggressive kick to Bail. He was crap, crap, crap then sublime.

By the way Bail has been close to best on. A very nice surprise. Along with Kennedy Harris we have at least 2 guys pushing for small forward roles

Very promising start without a forward line.

I want the same in the 2nd Quarter.

South Africa 7-140 :)

Terrible positioning brings him undone. Been caught in no man's land a few times.

A midfield that works!

All over them, just no reward. Skills and pressure has been better than for the bulk of last season.

Strauss lacks awareness and will never make it as a footballer.

On the upside though, Sam Blease is showing plenty of promise.

Dunn has been solid down back, Terlich looks even better than last year and Frawley is playing well.

Strauss is a depth player for Casey.

Sh I t night without foxtel....

Just no forward line, other than that we are going ok.

 

Nice goal from Howe!! Shame we haven't got the big boys in there.... We would be killing them!! Oh well.... Terlich and Jones our best so far, with Cross just starting to really get involved at the end of that...

Let's see if we can hang on for the remaining qtrs.

  • REPORT: West Coast

    On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

  • POSTGAME: West Coast

    Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
