Not to steal someone’s ip - but thought it was a cracker of a thread last week.

1. Hogan’s endurance and pressure

2. Hibberd was sublime

3. Somewhere somehow the momentum stopped - previously the other team would have got a goal or two in front. And then to jag 4 goals was a sign of something different.

1. Garlett proved me wrong and made amends from last week.

2. Oli was outstanding, he can win the brownlow this year.

3. The first half

1. Clayton Oliver is a machine, best in tight hands in the game

2. Hogan and Garlett were matchwinners

3. We found a way to win when they had the momentum in the last

  1. The 20 metre handball from Oliver to Trac in the final quarter putting trac into space
  2. Then the brilliant kick from Trac over the top of the zoning defender to Hogan
  3. The brilliant kick by Tyson to ANB
  4. Apologies to the much better kicks to Hogan's advantage , with Pederson being a good example

I wish he and others would do this mpre often which means we require players  to not crowd around.

1. Lol at Ben Guthrie for not naming Oliver in the top 10 under 23.  Better than Bont!

2. Garlett- Hogan. Magnificent 9.

3. Fritch returning on the ground.

1. Oliver proving to me that he has the potential to be the best mid in the comp in the next few years. He is an absolute beast. They actually tried to tag him too. Freak. Best hands going around. Love him. Gingers 4eva!

2. Hogan back to beast mode. Really deserves some success, and seeing him up close on TV his attitude is much improved. When something doesn’t go his way he doesn’t sulk, or gets angry, he simply moves on. His second efforts were A+

3. Garlett. Hope you’re enjoying that can of Coke and bag of chips we gave you for him Carlton. Yes he is hot and cold, but stints in the middle really get him involved in games. He was superb and basically won us the game.

Away jumpers so much better than the white things of the past.

Lever so far, big disappointment. 

We only disagree on item three. I did not mind last year's white jumper. Royal blue reminds me of the horrible 70's.

1. Clayton Oliver lookslike he will be elite. He has the best hands in the AFL and looks like to be the best player in his draft year.

2. Gawns work when the ball is at ground level. He is a threat all over the ground, not to be underestimated. This makes us that much harder to play against when you have a 200cm guy who is willing to get down and dirty when the ball is there to be won.

3. Forwrds kicking bags. Jeffy and Hoges getting it done. Take the pressure of the midfield having to kick a winning score.

Last year we’d have lost that game, when they were coming at us in the last.

Clayton Oliver should be in the leadership group, when we needed to get going he stood up and grabbed the game by the scruff of the neck.

Jack Viney to come back in

Tom McDonald to come back in

Lever couldn't play worse if he tried

 

We could add 3 AA quality players soon

Is Lever being played in his best rôle?  I suspect that they as thinking of Hibberd as a second tall and Lever in his accustomed rôle of third .... failing to get the best out of Lever. 

Hopefully especially with Ugly Ben next week Frost will get a run leaving Jake to do what he does best (GF excepted).

1. Jesse looks like he is enjoying his footy again. Makes my heart melt.

2. Our ability to go coast to coast and make them pay for turnovers that we forced. 

3. Gawn v Martin. Gawn early, Martin fought back. Great contest.

1. The clash strip is outstanding. 

2. ANB remembering where he was at the end of last season and one of the comps best half forwards. 

3. OMac looking like he’s ready to move into the upper echelon of full backs.

1. Oliver going from strength to strength becoming an elite player of the comp (Parish who?)

2. Hogan has had a great start to the season and may it continue

3. Garlett back to his best after a quiet game against the Cats

    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
