Garlett passed the ball to Dawes instead of taking the shot. Would love to see MMs reaction at that

Frankly I wouldn't give a rat's about MM's reaction to anything, but I would love to hear KB's reaction to that!

Commentators need a jizzlobber after Bonce and Pelli just kicked a goal...

if thats our best i give up 60 yrs saw the best now seen the worst

Reckon watts effort has been alright, he looks a lot bigger too.

Ordinary Q by the boys then, but a few of those set shots go through and it might've been a bit different. Looks to be a doozy of a breeze.

Disappointing drop in intensity that quarter. It's been a long time since an MFC team has really stuck the boot in when on top.

Posted

Has Watts had a touch?

Has had a couple of shots from long range into the wind...

He looks a lot bigger in the legs than I remember?

I think he will enjoy this season more than his previous years...

I'm excited!

Same old stupid mistakes started creeping back in

To be fair, we were raped by the umpires that quarter.

Just because we are well up, that doesn't mean the umps should put away the whistle.

it was a terrible display by them. We are going well.

Not wrong, I hear that the conditions are difficult but there are certain times where skills are only a secondary concern. Some poor decision making in the backline.

Only saw second half of that quarter though so not sure how the rest has gone!

What?

Heaps of positives so far, just need to finish off strong.

Dogs were always going to kick a few with that breeze. It's worth at least 4 goals. Watts x2 and Viney missed gettable shots on a normal day to that end.

casey would beat us

another long year I'm tipping too many mistakes and stuff around with it, should be 100 up I will be very surprised if we drag ourselves from bottom 4

Grimes should never try to hug the boundary with a left foot kick. I reckon he has tried it about 100 times in his career and 99 have gone out on the full. Another one that quarter!

Disappointing quarter but against the wind, not so bad.

we are terrible against a 2s side

I reckon we should be looking for hogan a bit more, would love to see more fast link ups through the midfield followed by a big kick to Hogan with Garlett crumbling.

Too much slow movement for my liking out on the flanks.

Go up the middle and go long to Hogan.

Honestly if that's all you've taken from today's game I suggest you give up on footy.

Thought we saw plenty of that in he first half.

I think I see the makings of a new business here...I'm thinking of setting up a sweatshop making sow's ears from silk purses... any takers?

    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

    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
