Kennedy is Gonna be a star. Jeremy who?

 

Ben Kennedy is hard as nails, has great skills, plays at a frenetic pace, hard tackler.

Having Jeremy Howe was  like playing  a  man down.

 

Another epic trade from Roosy and co.

Wow that chain of handpasses for a goal.....confidence.

My heart could have done with one or two fewer handballs - I'll take the goal though!

Cant ever remember seeing a Melbourne team who are so hard at the player, as well as the ball. We are very different this year...

Kennedy was always a worker

My Filth mate always rated his endeavour

Jeremy Howe is talented but lazy...

[censored] Hodge and Selwood Viney is the hardest bloke in the AFL

He doesn't duck his head the way Selwood does, he just wants it more than anyone else on the ground.

Pederson has been pivotal up forward. He is providing a target, leading with intent and bringing the ball to ground - whilst taking 3-4 GWS blokes with him. Ben Kennedy has been a bit of game changer. Usual suspects in 2016 playing well: Watts, Viney, Gawn, Salem.

Two different game plans.  They are playing a rebound from half back counter attack style game and we are trying to play a total dominance style. 

 

They caught us on the rebound early a couple of times but we changed up our defending with a loose man when they got a turnover and it stopped them.

Thanks I'm out of town so scores are very much appreciated

U just missed an awesome team goal via half dozen or so handballs. 

The Melbourne of old would've completely messed that up. Great team play, they surely believe in each other!

PAUL ROOS SAYS: "Encouraging ball movement, good around contest. Get it in there, bring the ball to ground, win."

Pretty simple.

Jack Watts and Matt Jones have transformed, they are so far from the 2015 models it's crazy.

The Giants' counterattack is what caused a 10 goal turnaround early last year. It's something we really need to address.

    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

    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
