wonder if we would have one that if we didnt play Gawn and Spencer

Spencer certainly helped Gawn and they both did enough forward, but you'd think ideally against such a non ruck of Walker than Dawes could've held his own and Hogan would've given us even more up forward. But the 2 rucks brought dominance at the contest and did enough forward to make it work. We all know the answer is a good forward/ruck player who can legitimately play 30% in the ruck to give Gawn a chop out and still be useful forward. In the mean time its about picking the 3 or 4 who actually bring the most competitive output.

I have a Montecristo Anejados but my wife is having a baby on Tuesday, will have to wait...

Ppffffffftttttttt

This is the best win since we pantsed the Swans and roosy was left speechless.

Love that Gawn referenced the game shown on fox footy during the week when Melbourne beat Geelong down there. Belief goes a long way. Hopefully we get more of it.

Do we change the team for WCE

Who can we look forward to coming back?

Newton?

Fitzpatrick?

Garland?

Vandenburg?

Frost 4 weeks (Brisbane?)

Salem 4 weeks (Brisbane?)

Hunt 4 weeks

Kent 6 weeks

Grimes 8 weeks

Pedersen season

Petracca season

Trengove season

?

Would like Frost, Salem and Kent to hurry up!

I'm almost inclined to say no changes to the side for the West Coast game. Lets give the players a reason to drop them, plus the game is in Darwin so we can bring in fresh players for Essendon the week after.

Amazing win. I'm in total shock.

I think we all are Jaded. I'm doubly happy though. I missed on putting my tipping in on time. (Forgot the bloody Thursday game). They gave me the AWAY teams and I scored just as well as my original tips. The big bonus was getting the mighty Demons right! Gained on most rivals here.

What about Vince's Left foot goal from a long way out?

Posted

Yeah, on fox, sorry mate, should have said.

And I'm taping it to watch it numerous times.

If you've got a Plasma you can pause it at the moment we win and if you leave it long enough the image should burn into the screen.

Absolute ecstacy from our wonderful warrior skipper. Gee, has he earned this moment.

Well said Bobby

This bloke has carried a heavy weight for a mighty long time and done us proud through so much woe.

Great to see him lapping it up. Deserves every accolade and back slap from all at the club!

Well done skipper!

Better lock Mitch Clark up in a padded cell for the next few days.

Our list was always better going forward.

Players don't think ahead. Clark was silly to leave, we have a great young list.

Posted

Full of vigour, full of determination, full of belief and so bloody satisfying!

By the way, the recruitment of Gartlett was a stroke of genius.

Selwood and Johnson are just are pair of whining little hoes who like to [censored] and question every decision.

Despite umpire 28 being a complete fkn suck again, we beat them in front of their own plebians in that backwater hole.

Mission did alright today

Didn't realise the Bulldogs were playing today. :)

Hopefully no more injuries.

If fit Vanders should come in tho - Riley or bail out.

Whoops forgot Hogan.

Hogan has to come in - we got lucky today up forward cant rely on Garlet to kick 4 and AND 3

It's been a long time since I've seen Joel Selwood so comprehensively beaten. Jack Viney was outstanding. Disciplined and aggressive.

We played man on man. We beat them man on man. We cracked in and ran harder then they did. Our leaders led. Our young guys showed they refuse to be tainted by years passed. Our NQR players played their role and kept their ball handling simple.

Still waiting for us to find a way to lose even though the game has been over for 30 minutes.

So why not play man on man every week whats the problem with that?

    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. I apologize for skipping our annual season review show at the end of last season. After a disapponting season filled with off-field antics and a heated trade week, I needed a break. Thankfully, the offseason has recharged me, and I’m back—ready t

The Demons will take on the Kangaroos in match simulation play, starting from 10am AEDT and broadcast live on Foxtel and Kayo.
