There won't be if the Lions win by 6

(Goals).

lol, very nice.

There's nothing wrong with anticipating one thing and hoping for the other.

In fact as Melbourne supporters, I'd guess that we're all pretty familiar with this particular mindset.

    I feel much more comfortable as a Dees supporter when I'm expecting we lose.

    I'd like to see Viney run with Hanley. That will be a big test as Hanley doesn't stop running.

    Also, Vince to Rockliff. Cross to Beams.

    I don't think Jack made him cry, I think it was something else he wanted to do to Jack!

    Rockliff had 14 touches. For some perspective, that's his lowest possession tally since Round 9 2011 where he also had 14. Round 6 2010 was the last time he had less. Not only did Viney negate his impact, he was able to get 23 touches himself. We're not talking about a Simon Godfrey tagger here, we're talking about one that do damage the other way. I'd be shocked if he didn't get maximum votes in the Coaches award.

    These midfield guns should be thinking if we can't beat him (Viney), maybe we should join him!

    Also if we could get a gif of Gawn flattening Robinson and have it on a continual loop, pinned to the top of the boards, that would be swell!

    I think demonology normally post links to youtube uploads on their videos page.

    Opposition midfielders would see him running up to them before the bounce and be like 'oh no, please God, not this little bastard'

    and don't we love him for it

    What stage of the game was it? I might have to go searching on the smart replay

    Replays can be found in Bigpond's AFL videos. The replay usually stays up for a few days after the match.

    I didn't include the Port Adelaide game as he started sub. Sorry if it looks a little out of whack. Pretty much has broke even or beaten his opponent.

    He's kept some known accumulators down to very low possession counts. I wonder if they are season lows in most instances.

  • Quote

    Turning into a gun of a footballer. I really like the unsociable side to his game - heckling Williams and Swan with a minute or so left in the game. He's really doing his bit in turning the club's 'soft' culture from earlier years around.

  • Quote

    I need to see it again but it looked as if he had connected with marley today he might be having a couple week spell.

    Could he be in trouble with the sling tackle?

    I don't think so. Pendlebury got up and kept playing. Had he been concussed, then Jack would be looking at weeks for sure.

    • REPORT: Sydney

      A few weeks ago, I visited a fellow Melbourne Football Club supporter in hospital, and our conversation inevitably shifted from his health diagnosis to the well-being of our football team. Like him, Melbourne had faced challenges in recent months, but an intervention - in his case, surgery, and in the team's case, a change in game style - had brought about much improvement.  The team's professionals had altered its game style from a pedestrian and slow-moving approach, which yielded an average of merely 60 points for five winless games, to a faster and more direct style. This shift led to three consecutive wins and a strong competitive effort in the fourth game, albeit with a tired finish against Hawthorn, a strong premiership contender.  As we discussed our team's recent health improvement, I shared my observations on the changes within the team, including the refreshed style, the introduction of new young talent, such as rising stars Caleb Windsor, Harvey Langford, and Xavier Lindsay, and the rebranding of Kozzy Pickett from a small forward to a midfield machine who can still get among the goals. I also highlighted the dominance of captain Max Gawn in the ruck and the resurgence in form in a big way of midfield superstars Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver.

    • POSTGAME: Sydney

      The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.

    • CASEY: Northern Bullants

      The Casey Demons travelled to a windy Cramer Street, Preston yesterday and blew the Northern Bullants off the ground for three quarters before shutting up shop in the final term, coasting to a much-needed 71-point victory after leading by almost 15 goals at one stage. It was a pleasing performance that revived the Demons’ prospects for the 2025 season but, at the same time, very little can be taken from the game because of the weak opposition. These days, the Bullants are little more than road kill. The once proud club, situated behind the Preston Market in a now culturally diverse area, is currently facing significant financial and on-field challenges, having failed to secure a win to date in 2025.

    • GAMEDAY: Sydney

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons have a golden opportunity to build on last week’s stirring win by toppling Sydney at the MCG. A victory today would keep them firmly in the hunt for a finals spot and help them stay in touch with the pack chasing a place in the Top 8. Can the Dees make it two in a row and bring down the Swans?
