IIRC kicked around 1:5 against us last year. Game would have been over at half time if he had kicked straight.

Yep...he won it for us...bless his hairy lip ;)

I mentioned that on the podcast the other night. He destroyed us in the second quarter but could not kick accurately. It kept the door open for us and we won.

Damn the defeatist attitude on this forum is becoming unbearable this week. Yes, we have been shizen for most of the last 2 games but need I remind everyone that Richmond are on top of the ladder? 

OMac just kept Riewoldt quiet for most of the last game, despite some clearly excellent delivery from the Tigers midfield. Daniher may get off the leash once or twice, but he won't be the difference. OMac will be on this week again.

If he had kicked straight who knows if he would have kicked 6 goals!

Remember after a goal is scored the game starts again and. It’s a different scenario. We may have scored not Essendon.

With Bellchambers rested, the ugliest man in football will probably find himself in the ruck more this week.

Their only asset is to score quickly at Etihad. They can be shut down by a good side and like us they don't have a plan B.

Melbourne have scored poorly in the last two weeks and haven't been capable of playing 4 quarters. Their backs in Hurley and Hooker should be able to control Weids and Hogan so we never get clear of them, then if they turn on their best game in one quarter and score heavily against us we will lose.

Essendon can definitely win this match. The wild card for us is TMac. If he plays well we can win. Anyone who thinks we should just win is delusional. It's an even money contest.

We seem to be "that club" that forwards somehow find form against.

I expect him to kick a few, but he will have a tough time doing it on Omac.

Oscar has been solid.

He's got better this year for sure. Maybe our only bloke who has.

Oscar will towel him up.

Joe will come right up the ground if starved of supply. He does this. Also means Ess path to goal becomes weaker...showed up against Pies.

    Veteran Demonland Trackwatchers Kev Martin, Slartibartfast & Demon Wheels were on hand at Gosch's Paddock to kick off the official first training session for the 1st to 4th year players with a few elder statesmen in attendance as well.

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.

    Once again the club’s top goal scorer but he had a few uncharacteristic flat spots during the season and the club will be looking for much better from him in 2025.

    After sustaining a torn ACL in the final match of the 2023 season Jake added a bit to the attack late in the 2024 season upon his return.

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.

    The first round draft pick at #13 from twelve months ago the strongly built medium forward has had an impressive introduction to AFL football and is expected to spend more midfield moments as his career progresses.
