Geez I enjoy watching Gus and Viney tackle

Posted

Good opening half in a pretty ugly affair.

Plenty to like from the boys and, apart from clearances, we well and truly have them covered. We need to come out in the third term and put them away.

Posted

I have a feeling we'll win

This inevitably means we'll lose by 10 goals and Melbourne supporters will be on suicide watch again this week

especially since the Suns lost again. lets see how the Lions go today?

Harmes looks like a solid player

Id sub in ANB for Lumumba or JKH sooner rather than later

Keep it going Dees

Surprised JKH didnt get subbed half way through the quarter

Sub him late in the third or at the start of the 4th. We are well in front, no need to sub him too early on for a player to go down injured.

Don't write off Brisbane just yet. They're doing well at stoppages and out tackling us. If they can straighten up and be more coherent going forward, they'll turn it on.

Must keep applying same level of pressure behind the ball like we have been. Too much space in the middle and they'll easily outrun us and get on a roll.

Hope Aish is getting a good look at the workload needed when he joins the dees next year

Surprised JKH didnt get subbed half way through the quarter

He is starting to do a few good things, and a too early sub is pretty risky.

Posted

Just saw the Harmes McDonald goal

Great stuff

Harmes grabbing his chance. Very smart play

Never took his eyes off the ball

Posted

Where is the Prince? Three possessions!

Posted

They're walking away from the clearances... Hope we can keep that under control in the second half

They were always going to do that with their midfield. As has been their problem all year they literally have nothing going forward, so as long as we pressure them they will find it very hard to score.

Plus we have a few mids who can lift as well in that area in the second half.

Posted

JKH responded well to that dropped mark which almost cost us a goal. He's still a depth player, nothing more. Only in the side because Kent isn't. Still, I'm glad he took the game on after an embarrassing brain fart. He [censored] himself at that contest.

Nah. Got to give him a chance. Give him a spray at half time and see how he responds.

No point wasting the sub that early

dont agree on this one, its gonna blow out big time

I know he hasn't done a lot today, but I rate him. I wonder what he'd cost (pick wise)?

Posted

Must play a solid 4 quarters, means nothing if we let them back in 2nd half

Posted

Low quality game which we are dominating

Better use of the footy going forward would be nice.

Yeah, some of those fwd 50 entries early in the first had me tearing my hair out.

Posted

Where is the Prince? Three possessions!

Still three more than Mitch got this weekend.

Posted

Keep up the match reports guys

No coverage at work

Thanks

what! The abc doesn't have foxtel!!?? What's this country coming to..

    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

We'll break down the Match SIM against North Melbourne and wrap up the preseason with insights into training and our latest recruits.

    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.
