Preparing us for a "No Frawley" backline next year i would think WYL

Maybe Rusty. But the guy needs a change of scenery. Our backline has killed his spirit.

It's understandable.

Frawley had nothing open when looking inside 50. Last week he would have gone backwards, sideways. This week he went inside, which created a stoppage and that created Evans' shot.

Wind seems to have wrecked Fitzpatrick's and Evans' shots at goal. They're saying we have the wind though.

Another turnover, this time to Evans. Sounds like he's working hard, but skills letting him down.

New female goal umpire looks a good sort.

Where's Dean Kent?

Viney, Grimes and Kent haven't touched it (just one tackle between them overall).

Yep. I would have pulled the trigger on that move early last season. He's been pummelled from pillar to post. A change up just might work...for everyone

This is an extremely young team we're playing. Persistance and hard nose never say die footy will win this, subject to umpiring influence

Good to see the umpiring is at it's usually high standard...

Two crap teams get 3 crap umpires every week

Jack Grimes can't [censored] handball.

What is wrong with him! No composure

he is not big enough. Never has been. Gets pushed off balance too easily and has to hurry his possessions.

Viney being involved takes a heap of pressure of Cross, Jones and Vince...gives us another rotation to grind em down through the middle. The middle contest will determine this IMO

    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

    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. The play start time was brought forward from the initial 11am bounce, due to the high temperatures forecast.  The match sim will consist of four 25-minute qu
