Petracca is brilliant

Hes taken 2 marks in his last 3 games. Gus is brilliant. ANB not far behind but Trac not killing it thats for sure.

    Does Frost come back? I think T-Mac was very good in defence but could have used him forward.. Wagners dispoal was pretty woeful and he turned it over about as much as Frost. For me Frost has a bit more upside.

    Oscar went off hurt in the last don't know what the issue was.

    Saints now very tall but so slow or gassed.

    We responded today & stood up when asked.

    Forgot just how good Gus is what a solid game. 

    James Harmes has come on and straightened up - our unsung hero.

    I know this might sound offensive to some, but let's reset for a minute and cheer on the Pies vs Port. Yes you'll feel dirty but you can have a thorough wash afterwards. Come on Pies, do it for figgy, and us :D.

    Would our drop Weid for Lions game? I wouldn't, another game of AFL experience for him. Watts comes in a week later.

    Watts has to do something to come back

    Mr. Negative here,

    Glad we won, but we were shithouse.

    StKilda were just much worse.

    The forward entries still a major concern, players bombing away when they should be looking around. 

    Pedo, well done, puts that ridiculous Pederson vs Weideman debate to bed.

    Brayshaw, a great return game.

    Hannan clutch.

    BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.

     

     

     

    MOAR BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOS.!!!

    Gutsy selections from Goodwin and it absolutely paid off. Deserves a lot of credit.

    Harmes was amazing in that first qtr. Didn't even have an opponent I reckon.

    Pederson was industrious and reliable. One of his best games.

    Lewis' best game in red and blue. BoG for me. He actually committed to the contest a lot more. He must be able to smell September.

    Hannan was invisible in the first 3 qtrs but grabbed his moment.

    Forgot how good Brayshaw is. So much more composed now and his kicking was elite.

    A few negatives though:

    Petracca is badly out of form. He almost does things. Reminds me of his first year.

    Weid looked slow and not AFL ready. Laid some good tackles but couldn't commend much at all. 1 game in the VFL for Watts might not be enough though. I'd like him in ripping form before coming in.

    Wagner was sub standard. Salem would come straight in if he didn't get suspended.

    Garlett had Geary which could explain his quiet game.

    This game was the perfect example of our season, its the reason why we are  7 and not top 4, we dont finish off teams, we don't  have a killer instinct.

    Yeah true but.....this game was also an example of the difference that is emergingggg of a team that DOESNT stop playing when the other side starts to come at us, UNLIKE  the team that Melbourne has been for the last 10 years.

    I would rather see Pies lose. If they beat Port they are in some decent form and pose a threat.

    Gus...yes

    The others....Nope

    Keeping Pederson in was a good move and Hannan saved his game with those two goals but otherwise was ineffective

    Don't think any of the "statement ins" made much of an impact though. Gus was building and was likely to come in for Maynard. The move of Tmac back steadied us. Wagner and Weid were underwhelming to say the least.

    Rather surprised to see that no one has mentioned the fact that with this win we have surpassed our 10 wins last season. We have officially improved.

    Just got to the Doutta Gala for a few quick victory pints before heading home.

    Super pleased to say the least.

    It was clear for me it was more about having 22 players hunting with intense pressure, and although Wagner might not be as clean, or Weidemann doesn't get much of it, I thought the pressure around the ground was a lot more even.

    The last few weeks, Watts has been a weak link in that pressure game that we base our game on.

    20,000 free Welcome tickets to many people from diverse cultures, many new to the game, on a sunny Sunday arvo at the home of football. And the Demons win. Great marketing which hopefully converts a few to Aussie Rules & just as importantly to the MFC.

    Yeah.   The omissions and the message it sends could help get the season back on track.

      We’re back! That was fun. The Mighty Dees’ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commanding 48-point winover the Western Bulldogs, retaining the Hampson-Hardeman Cup in style. After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

    • CASEY: Box Hill

      The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

      The final game of the 2025 Season is finally upon us and the Demons may have an opportunity to spoil the Magpies Top 4 aspirations when they face them on Friday Night. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons were sloppy all day and could not stop the run and carry of the fast moving Hawthorn as the Hawks cruised to an easy 36 point win. Is the season over yet?
