WooHoo - Jeremy Cameron reported

Have watched the replay a couple of times and all I can say is... GONE!

Chose to leave the ground... Bumped him high and contact to the head... Regardless of GWS being the love child of the AFL it is a no brainer!

At least a week!

You beauty!

I have spent the last 3 weeks at sea and will miss round 1 due to being at sea also so I only get to read the in depth articles and personal analysis' on here.

I would love to see J. Watts keep doing what he has done round 1 and 2.
Oliver to continue whilst also staying out of the unpires report cards.
Kent and Harmes to give us belters today.
and T Mac play with confidence and security in his kicking.
No injuries will be optimal.
Pedersen to really take his spot with 2 hands and make Dawes work like hell to even think about getting back into the side

We can't play catch up footy like we did the last 2 rounds, although we won, those could have been very easily 0-2.
I want to see (Or at least read about) 4 quarters of hard nosed, smart footy.

Teams are in:

 

 

Notable absentees from the notable absentees list - Brayshaw, VDB.

So no Brayshaw, VDB, Dunn, Petracca, Trengove, Dawes or Lumumba (so that's 4-5 best 22 missing plus a few handy others) against a Saints side which is missing...? McCartin?

This week, unlike last, we're the ones with more players missing so a win today should be an extra confidence booster heading into Round 1.

Just getting boozed up in my hotel's bar prior to decamping to the penthouse for the game. I want to see Hogan get on the scoreboard and jack Watts back up last week's effort. Jones and Vince should be better for the run.

I'm also looking for another solid performance from Pedomyths and , after seeing him at Crazyburn, I'm looking forward to some more muscle from Oliver

Cameron deserves at least one week. Clearly leaves the ground, but more importantly was nowhere near the ball and did not have to do it - the severity of the injury will determine how many weeks but even if minor impact that deserves one week.

I support all of this.

saints doing all the attacking early - they're much more focussed on heavy body contact and physicality.

 

awful kick in by salem.

 

terrible lack of contest in the air with the ball coming in deep twice, second time resulting in a goal. o mac had no strength whatsoever.

Saints have won the ball out of the middle three times now, twice through free kicks (although Gawn was very unlucky there)

Excellent play off half back there.  Props, and I don't give it often, to Matt Jones who has twice set it up.  Well done.

    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. The play start time was brought forward from the initial 11am bounce, due to the high temperatures forecast.  The match sim will consist of four 25-minute qu
