I wonder if he will cop criticism like clarry, greenwood went the bump his elbow hit him in shoulder then slid up, Merrett through his head back like he had been hit by a train 

Difference is McKenzie was cleared for insufficient contact whereas Greenwood is looking at a couple of weeks no doubt.

Carlton and Collingwood both on 5 wins. We owe it to the league to ensure it stays that way. Must win tomorrow then get Watts and Tyson back vs Adelaide. Need to go into that game with 9 wins.

DemonOx - I do feel that way towards Howe, who sought a transfer to the Filth, to taste success.

Agree with doc roet - I feel for Dunny too.  Was always a tryer for us and never a show pony.  Just didn't / wouldn't / couldn't fit in to our new game plan.

I reckon posters who are calling for Walker to be suspended are only doing it because we play Adelaide next week.

He was shepherding, completely within the rules. I don't think there's anything wrong with that.

Essendon have a reasonable run home .....

6 games against teams outside the 8 and Adelaide

Meanwhile they lost to Brisbane last week.

Having said that, I'm concerned about their draw and they're only one win behind us if we lose tomorrow. They will be putting a lot more pressure on us for a top 8 spot than the Dogs, I reckon.

Hawthorn effectively lost but fixed their percentage...

But they can only drop one more and they have Geelong, Freo away, and Sydney in the next three weeks...

They beat Adelaide in Adelaide two weeks ago and drew with GWS today. With no Birchall, Frawley, Gibson, O'Meara, Puopolo, Rioli or Stratton either. IMO they're capable of doing it, though I think ultimately they'll fall short.

Sydney, Essendon and Hawthorn are all going to push the top 8 and if we drop tomorrow's game we are going to feel that pressure as much as any other top 8 club.

I think the plan should be to beat Carlton tomoz.

I thought his head snapped back after an elbow to the jaw. Different angle showed it better and less likely to be a dive. greenwood will be having a holiday.

GWS v Swans next week .... should be a big game

On at the same time as we are playing in Darwin

 

Ok... now for the big question the answer to which depends upon your degree of optimism re the Dees.....

Saints or Toiges

I'm hoping for the Saints ... I want that fourth spot !!

Really not sure who to barrack for... Go for the Saints & we win tomorrow & Port lose we could be 4th by rounds end. Saints win & we lose then west coast win we are out of the 8.. My god its tight, and tomorrow either way is a must must must win!

now that is a string of possibilities.

You just have to learn to think like a Hawk or Swan supporter... our natural place is on or near to the top of the ladder

Go Saints

    BLOODY BLUES by Meggs

    The conclusion to Narrm’s home and away season was the inevitable let down by the bloody Blues  who meekly capitulated to the Bombers.   The 2024 season fixture handicapped the Demons chances from the get-go with Port Adelaide, Brisbane and Essendon advantaged with enough gimme games to ensure a tough road to the finals, especially after a slew of early season injuries to star players cost wins and percentage.     As we strode confidently through the gates of Prin

    2024 Player Reviews: #5 Christian Petracca

    Melbourne’s most important player who dominated the first half of the season until his untimely injury in the Kings Birthday clash put an end to his season. At the time, he was on his way to many personal honours and the club in strong finals contention. When the season did end for Melbourne and Petracca was slowly recovering, he was engulfed in controversy about a possible move of clubs amid claims about his treatment by the club in the immediate aftermath of his injury.

    2024 Player Reviews: #2 Jacob van Rooyen

    Strong marking youngster who plays forward and relief ruck, continued to make significant strides forward in his career path. The Demons have high hopes for van Rooyen as he stakes his claim to become an elite attacking forward.

    LIVE AND LET DIE by Meggs

    The Demons’ impressive late season charge to finals will most likely come unstuck this Saturday evening when the Bombers blow up the also-ran Blues in the Ikon Park double-header.   To mangle McCartney, what does it matter to ya? To have any chance to play next week Narrm has got a job to do and needs to do it well.  We’ve got to give the Pie sheilas hell, say live and let die! It’s Indigenous Round for this game and the chance to celebrate and engage with Aboriginal and Torres

    Had to shoulder more responsibility as the club’s injury concerns deepened but needs to step up more as he closes in on 100 games. Date of Birth: 31 May 2000 Height: 186cm Games MFC 2024: 21 Career Total: 95 Goals MFC 2024: 6 Career Total: 34 Games CDFC: 1 Goals CDFL: 0

    Date of Birth: 12 November 1999 Height: 197cm Games MFC 2024: 20 Career Total: 82 Goals MFC 2024: 9 Career Total: 28 Brownlow Medal Votes 3 Failed to fulfill the promise of his breakout six goal effort against the Tigers in 2023 and was generally disappointing as a key forward. It remains to be seen whether Simon Goodwin will persevere with him in attack or return him to the backline where he was an important cog in the club’s 2021 premiership success.

    2024 Player Reviews: #22 Blake Howes

    After a bright start to the season, playing mostly in defence, Howes seemed to lose his way in midseason but fought back with some good performances at Casey and finished the year back at AFL level. One to watch in 2024. Date of Birth: 7 March 2003 Height: 191cm Games MFC 2024: 15 Career Total:  15 Goals MFC 2024: 0 Career Total:  0 Games CDFC 2024: 6 Goals CDFC 2024: 0

    2024 Player Reviews: #33 Tom Fullarton

    Originally an NBL basketballer with the Brisbane Bullets, he moved across town in 2019 to the AFL Lions where he played 19 games before crossing to Melbourne where he was expected to fill a role as a back up ruckman/key forward. Unfortunately, didn’t quite get there although he did finish equal sixth in Casey’s best and fairest award. Date of Birth: 23 February 1999 Height: 198cm Games CDFC: 14 Goals CDFL: 13

    Sadly, had to wrap up a great career in midstream on the back of multiple concussions which culminated in the Maynard hit in the 2023 Qualifying Final. His loss to the club was inestimable over and above his on field talent given his character and leadership qualities, all of which have been sorely missed.
