Not sure the Hawthorn forwards are going to benefit from Frawley delivering into their forward 50. He seems to be in a competition with himself about how high and long he can kick it every time.

Pretty much the perfect weekend of footy.

Demons win

Bombers blowing a 41 point lead

Cats flogged

The cats won two of the quarters. I call that a draw!

Irrespective of his general decision making and flaws, Frawley seems to have made an astute decision in joining the Hawks. Problem is his flaws are now more glaring. Still he will be an asset when the opposition are having a crack and pumping the ball forward as long as only he punches the ball.

Holy Hell, I just had a look at who I tipped this round. I'm proud to say I backed us over the Gold Coast. That was one of the few I got right. I think I have some catching up to do already. :)

I don't reckon next round will be any easier, mate.

Yep GWS actually have a forward line, and a better midfield in my opinion. It will be a big challenge, but if we win I reckon we're finals contenders; hopefully do a port adelaide.

And North getting absolutely belted.

Very close to the perfect weekend.

After attending the match today I hope Geelong has fallen off a cliff because the Dorks just played stunning football after the first quarter. If the Cats are still a top 6 side God help the rest of the competition. We might as well hand them threepeat cup now. If they had kicked the ones they usually do that could have been 100 pts plus. Their run and spread looks unstoppable, they somehow have 4 players at every contest and multiple options on the outside forward or back. Geelong made a lot of unforced errors, they maybe on the slide big time, they matched the Dorks on the inside for a while but they look very slow on the outside. No Varco, Christiansen this year, Motlop tried but made errors and Cockatoo was overawed. Mitch looks abit slower than I remember but still played well with 3 goals and a good run in the ruck. Hawkins had a shocker.

His first 2 goals were complete gimmes then he hardly touched it for a half of footy. His last goal was a lovely kick though

I presume these observations were relayed by your manservant while you endured the rigours of the Members Bar Earl?

Dangerfield must be watching this and having second thoughts about joining Geelong, a club on the decline.

I thought he was always going to the Hawks. They had big money put aside for Buddy.

Very surprising the hawks fans are booing Clark. I knew there had to be something good about hawks fans

My niece who is a Hawks supporter was at the game. She sent me a text saying she was booing MC and the guy next to her kept screaming out that MC owed the Dees money!

Posted

think about how loud 27,000 of us were on Saturday

MC is SO lucky he won't have to face that, instead we play them at SS where our supporters can hardly even get into the ground

wtf do I mean 'lucky' , 90% of our games vs geelong are down there. What a disgrace

    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.
