We did well, got tired. Grimes should have known 5 min B4 siren. He kicked to a contest & they ended up with a goal. Simple easy posession would have been the way to handle the last 5 minutes of Q2

Boys need to believe in themselves.

Also... Where's Vince and Tyson??

We've won our first half for the season,Woohoo!!!

Gotta start somewhere

Who's on Ellard?

Matt Jones doing alright

We're in this if we believe we can win.

Tyson copping the hard tag.

Still done some nice things - the goal assist to Nathan Jones was Pendlebury-like. Gets caught HTB a bit too often though.

I hope our other mids are giving him a chop out.

I'm not concerned about the drop in Howe. I really believe he will learn a lot playing down back, and when our forward line is functioning he will go forward again as the third option that Dunn is currently taking. Dunn has been servicable up forward but I think he is better down back.

McKenzie 2 tackles to half time, some players with donuts. Last week Ablett, Selwood, Watson, Libba and Pendles racked up huge numbers plus led the tackle count for their respective teams. Not good enough on our behalf.

JKH gets in good position - May get lucky in the 2nd half

His foot skills are letting him down a bit. But can't question his work rate. The chase down tackle early on when the rest of his teammates were asleep drew applause from me!

Great comments guys. Keep them coming please. No video or radio here. Best 3 games I ever saw were 88 Prelim. 94 final (schwarz game) and 2000 final with Bruce and Green. Hate this mob from here.

Poor kicking and resulting turn overs costing us again. Terlich, Kent, Bail.

Chip trying his guys out. Kicks like a backman, unfortunately ;)

Not sure about letting Petro kick out from behinds

Malthouse and Roos in the box are fascinating contrasts.

One looks cool, one screaming at his assistants.

Maybe Mick needs some meditation training, instead of watching Alpha Centauri all night long.

The Blues whiteboard, & MM's way to goal > %CE%BA%CE%B1%CF%84%CE%AC%CE%BB%CE%BF%CE% blues flying, like cosmmon_orts

:cool:

3rd quarter = premiership quarter. We must go into the last break in front and with confidence. C'mon dees believe in yourselves and believe in each other.

The blues showed they can get a run on vs Richmond so when that happens we need leaders to stand up. I'm only keeping up with this from afar so I'm going to be doing it tough for the next 70min!

He's not too bad a kick for a spud actually. He's miles better at it then Terlich anyway. I'd have Alistair Nicholson kick out over Terlich.

I think eventually Grimes will be back pocket/small shutdown defender.

I can see others playing from the half back flanks in our future.

    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. 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
