Maybe at HT the commentators can learn some Melbourne names that aren't Roos and Gawn.

Tired of them going on about Geelong stats, like anyone cares.

Posted

Who would have picked that? Barring late goals we have been terrific in all areas.

The challenge is to keep that up in the second half. We are certainly in with a chance!

Posted

at least its not gonna be a 100Pt loss (i think).

NEED to keep this up for your fans MFC! (you owe them after last week)

Posted

Is it a coincidence that we play better when we don't allow the opposition to have a loose player in defence?

nope.

but it's also a clear part of our game - we love to have cross mopping up.

the key is not to kick to a two-on-one contest every time the ball goes in.

roos' match-ups are working a pearler today:

vince - blicavs

viney - selwood

matt jones - enright

watts - taylor

dunn - hawkins

all working at the moment.

[censored] ourselves late. The only mental scars that actually have any merit, and can only be fixed by winning games. Or a great psychiatrist...

You're watching a big part of the Melbourne resurgence for years to come today, Demonlanders. It's huge and has a beard.

Brayshaw will be a culture changer. He knew Enright was coming for him on the wing. He had the option of a panicky handball but took a hit for the team to ensure a stoppage. Love him.

Jeemy Howe - 0 disosals

Needs to kick a couple of goals in the 2nd half. Hes not holding up his end of the bargain and we are in a winning position in what was supposed to be an unwinnable game.

He isn't taking marks but his contests in the air have resulted in a couple of goals.

Dunn has no vision at all when kicking out, N Jones at times a headless chook, and how about not just bombing it in the forward line for once, but hell the effort is there with what we have put on the park.

Posted

Wow, this is unexpected, and bloody good. Some really competent footy in that half Dees, great stuff. Viney on Selwood is perfect, he doesn't care about 186 or how good they've been, or how shite we've been, he just smashes in at the next contest. Brayshaw the same. And Bernie Vince is a very very good player.

Max Gawn

13 disposals

7 marks - 6 contested

5 tackles

4 clearances

4 inside 50s'

1 goal 1 behind

Best half by a ruckman in the AFL this season? Amazing numbers

Posted

Many on here wanted to/want to delist Gawn.

Not on your life.

It's been just the sort of break out performance we have all been waiting for!

Posted

I said today was all about intent and the development of those who matter. Hard not to be satisfied to half time. We are making errors and they will start to make us pay more but as long as we keep up that intent and effort and don't drop our heads that's all you can ask.

Brayshaw is a machine. Can only imagine the damage he will do when he has the muscle and endurance to fit with the intent. Spencer showing why he should play ahead of Jamar. Gawn showing why he should play ahead of both of them.

nate has to stand up and match it with gawns effort

    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

    PODCAST: Match SIM vs North Melbourne

    Join us LIVE on Monday night at 8:30pm—note that this special time is just for this week due to prior commitments. We'll break down the Match SIM against North Melbourne and wrap up the preseason with insights into training and our latest recruits.

Thankfully, the offseason has recharged me, and I’m back—ready t

    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.
