Your personal relationship with JKH is clouding your judgement. 

No its not,  Kent is out of form, JKH is playing his role because I asked him what it was, puts his body on the line and does the one per centers, will get on the end of goals eventually

But the again I don't pick the team

Way over the top. TMac was best on ground, but his kicking was plain embarrassing, which dragged down his game. Tyson made a coupe of errors but I thought had a good game. I wish he'd clean up his kicks, but he wasn't horrible today 

Thought Tyson worked his way into the game a little better this week. Hopefully can keep building for next week.

Well that's a glaring oversight by the MFC!

11 disposals, 4 clangers, 1 tackle. 

The choice isn't just purely between JKH and Kent.

Agreed, but who should do the kick in? Not sure Hibberd is the answer as I seem him as a distributor to the midfield after the kick in.

Salem

Don't all commentators want the brave Essendon to win?

 

My brother did a fence for Hudson, said he was an arrogant piece of [censored]. 

Are you saying Anthony Hudson steals things to give to your brother to [censored] in hotels? I never would have guessed.

 

Edit: the censored word is 'golf' backwards. Who would have thought that would be censored?

This game was won when we moved Vince into the middle and Salem to half back at half time. Vince completely changes our on ball mix and his creativity comes to the four (without the costly turnover goals) and his smart body blocking clears the way for Jones et al at stoppages. With Hibberd settled I hope that is the last we see of him in the back 6. Sloppy first half but effort was good. Trac, Hannan, Watts kept really good separation on each other after half time which stopped Hurley being able to get off his man and cut us off. Good to get through with the win but also without any obvious injuries and with Viney and Tyson looking like they are on their back to form in the second half.

Just took the above gem of Bomberblitz.

Gotta love it.

At a glance on that page there are some interesting poster names over there. Heptides, Coke_and_Ice and IceTemple for starters. Hmmm....

I loved that Bernard finally went back into the midfield today and got a couple quick clearances. Can we please leave him there and never have him back again!!

He uses his massive leg from the centre circle to full forward with minimal fuss as a weapon instead of turning the pill over continually down back.

This.

Thought Vince was a lot better moving into the midfield in the 2nd half. It's were he should be playing & should stay there. 

Yes, made up for some boo-boos ! :unsure:

Make sure you have a celebratory gutful on the flight Steve.

I was well lubed (not the type you're thinking of) prior to the bounce but backed off. 

These are on Mr Branson so I intend to capitalise as much as possible.

To be fair, they looked like us from last week: cooked. I did say Lewis needed to step up but he got under the radar well and truly. That goal from the boundary was the one that broke them completely.

Pedo brings something to the midfield that Spencil cannot. He gets his own pill, blocks and puts a real presence to the contest. He is the definitive role player and he plays said role very well.

Disgraceful first half, great second half.

Pressure, kicking and movement miles better. Viney was much better.

Oliver and Tracca are our future, teams can be built around them. Both brilliant.

Hibbo and Lewy were great, as were Watts and Peders (welcome back)

JKH and Melksham were terrible. Bugg and ANB not much better. Tyson can be infuriating.

Go in against the Dawks with positivity, but be HUNGRY.

I am no Tyson fan, but I have noticed he is better as a middle man. If Tyson can hit the receiver at full speed then he can recapture his better form. Oliver is the key to that, and Viney lifting his game will help as well. Tyson has a sharp football brain, he just isn't the contested ball getter some have believed him to be (because he is easy to catch). As a middle man he can use his football brain to his advantage, and in turn be less rushed to kick. That is something I have noticed.

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.

    REMATCH by Meggs

    The Mighty Demons take on the confident Cats this Saturday night at the recently completed $319 million redeveloped GMHBA Stadium, with the bounce of the ball at 7:15pm. Our last game of 2023 was an agonisingly close 5-point semi-final loss to Geelong, and we look forward to Melbourne turning the tables this week. Practice match form was scratchy for both teams with the Demons losing practice matches to Carlton and Port Adelaide, while the Cats beat Collingwood but then lost to Essendo

    WELCOME 2024 by Meggs

    It’s been hard to miss the seismic global momentum happening in Women’s sport of late. The Matildas have been playing to record sell-out crowds across Australia and ‘Mary Fowler is God’ is chalked onto footpaths everywhere. WNBA basketball rookie sensation Caitlin Clark has almost single-handedly elevated her Indiana Fever team to unprecedented viewership, attendances and playoffs in the USA.   Our female Aussie Paris 2024 Olympians won 13 out of Australia’s all-time record 18 gol
