Stand by the Newton omission being a poor decision. He's our 3rd ranked goal kicker.

Yep. Jetta for Viney for workload reasons wouldn't look so bad if we had more fun and not a giraffe stuck in the forward line.

Edit: Run, not fun. Freudian slip, obvs.

I just got on Melbourne to win by over 15.5 points. Offering of $5.20 was too good to resist.

Look out for Normans!

And another goal to Port.

Even though it is only a 4 goal margin, it is not looking good at all now.

Viney on, but for Jetta, which is disappointing but maybe had to happen.

Jetta "in" was a poor option. As was retaining Fitzy. Doesn't add any value to our mid field and made us too top heavy (with the addition of an extra "tall" spud).

Riley and Viney were a much needed addition to the rotations through the mid field.

Even Newton would have been a decent option over Jetta. Our defence is not the issue it's the mid field and too many talls versus a Port who has so many solid extractors through the middle.

I will never support Roos bringing Jetta off. Never.

Surely Jetta hasn't lost that much fitness. He would have been allowed to train and run while out with concussion.

I just don't understand why you wouldn't bring in Viney and take out Fitzy to give us more run.

I don't even know when we will ever back up a good win with another good win.

And how many goals have Port got in the last 5 minutes of quarters?

And it has to be said - Jones 11 possessions in 1st quarter, 4 for the next 2 quarters. It may not be his fault if he's getting a hard tag, but if he is & we're trying to rely on him out of the stoppages, we're going nowhere.

It's the GWS game all over... [censored] pathetic. Our inability to stop a side when they have a run on is a real concern, no players put their hand up and stop it. Why was Jetta subbed out ? Obviously managing his minutes but [censored] me, fitzy can not move out there. Why he was picked in the first place once Ryder was out is moronic

    CROSSROADS by The Oracle

    Melbourne stands at the crossroads.  Sunday’s game against the West Coast Eagles who have not met the Demons at the MCG in more than ten years, is a make or break for the club’s finals aspirations.  That proposition is self-evident since every other team the club will be opposed to over the next eight weeks of footy is a prospective 2024 finalist. To add to this perspective is the fact that while the Demons are now in twelfth position on the AFL table, they are only a game and a half b

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Brisbane

    The Demons once again went goalless in the last quarter and were run down by the Lions at the Gabba in the final minutes of the match ultimately losing the game by 5 points as their percentage dips below 100 for the first time since 2020.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Brisbane

    It's Game Day and the Dees are deep in the heart of enemy territory as they take on the Lions in Brisbane under the Friday Night Lights at the Gabba. Will the Demon finally be awakened and the season get back on track or will they meekly be sacrificed like lambs to the slaughter?

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi
