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.

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 is keeping a few people on here quiet

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.

 

3 of our goals were due to Kennedy. 

 

 


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.

Clayton Oliver is like a rich man's Jordie McKenzie.

This is the sort of footy that signs up 50,000 members

keep the foot down Demons

it doesn't matter who the opponent is. 

That style of Football can beat anyone...

Hogan looks off. Lift son, LIFT!!!

There is that counter attack again

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

 

The penny has dropped for Jack Watts.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

    The Dogs reigned supreme in 2018 with an inaugural AFLW premiership cup and the Demons matched this feat by winning the cup as the Season 7 2022 champions.Meggs wasn’t born when the Doggies won their first VFL premiership cup against the Demons in 1954. Covid prevented many Demons fans from legally witnessing the victorious 2021 AFL Grand Final cup performance between the Demons and the Bulldogs, but we all grin when remembering those magnificent seven third quarter goals.

  • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

    Hawthorn and Melbourne. Two teams with impressive form from last week but with seasons that are travelling on different trajectories meet in Saturday’s twilight game for what could well be the most intriguing contest of the AFL’s penultimate round. Sadly, the game has been relegated to that unappealing time slot in the weekend when Melburnians are typically preoccupied with activities other than football. It falls between the morning's shopping, afternoon sport and recreation, and Saturday night fever. A time usually reserved for relatively insignificant events but this one is not a nothingburger for either of the clubs or their fans.

  • AFLW: 2025 Season Preview

    Ten seasons. Eighteen teams. With the young talent pathway finally fully connected, Women’s Australian Rules football is building momentum and Season 2025 promises to be the best yet. In advance of Season 10, the AFL leadership has engaged in candid discussions with all clubs regarding strategies to boost attendance and expand fan bases. Concerningly, average attendances in 2024 were 2,660 fans per match, with the women’s game incurring an annual loss of approximately $50 million.

  • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

    The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

  • CASEY: Brisbane

    The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

  • PREGAME: Hawthorn

    The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?
