Waterman has been good 3 weeks in a row. Just like other years they seem to reward accumulation of games over the actual game of that particular round. With Round 1 being the odd exception each year

And Sparko didn’t out a foot wrong the previous weeks either ?

And Jetta more like his own self.

 

The whole backline is more like own self.

Hibberd abd Lever are finding the AA form again and O.Mac has been fantastic all year.

They should have fined Daniher $2000 for being a hairy [censored] rimjob face with no talent.  Sorry, AA forward and mark of the year recipient.  Sheesh, why do they suck up so hard to these scummy scabbed over day old cream pies?

Gees, i was going to give him $2000.00 for that tap to the goal square...???

Didn't want to start a new thread and this seemed a logical spot. I'm not sure how long it has been there but on AFL.com stats pro has video of all involvement in each  game for every player for Telstra mobile customers with the live pass. Brilliant

What a difference (less than) a week makes. After the Richmond game Demonland was sinking under the weight of comments that we don't have enough depth even to make a proper squad of 22.

Not me LDvC.

i have been banging on about this since Neeld.

If you look at my collective quotes over the year you would see a pattern of recognising the strengths of the collective diversity. I also acknowledge the difficulty in achieving consistent maximum result. I also state constantly that that is the coaches job and performance indicator.

Wasn't that a thing to behold, after halftime.

 

Spargo, sparked us up. fantastic. 

TMC's bollocking thru the mid part of the ground, and forward was just what the doctor ordered.

The balance really changed the teams dynamic,  and the opposition defenders really had to focus on these two... cutting back their offence side.

 

 It was pleasing to witness.

TMac perhaps performing the role Pedersen could have done had he been selected in previous weeks.

I have been saying I agree that Weiss is the future and needs to be exposed to the main game but I also think Pedersen is the older harder more developed version of him and should not languish in the two's

Richmond, Adelaide, Hawthorn, Sydney and probably West Coast.

And now Sydney have done a Hawthorn and lost to North.

It's a crazy year.

I think that what sets North apart is that while they have gone for youth, the culture of the club has got them to where they are this year.

Last year they could have put the cue in the rack against the Lions, won the spoon and gotten the number one draft pick. However, talk coming out of the club was the overwhelming desire to avoid that.

At our absolute nadir, we were holding draft night parties to celebrate getting picks one and two.

That illustrates why they got back to being competitive in 3 years and it took us 8.

Bit harsh on us and a bit kind on them. They had quite a few injuries/outs, and the brothers put a lot of time into brown nosing umpires/ not speaking ill of/engaging with, as well as being media sycophants. Brown is the darling and sickening to see the constant dives...

Sydney to me are not the yardstick any more and i think Roos' opinion might be wavering...

    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

    PODCAST: Match SIM vs North Melbourne

    Join us LIVE on Monday night at 8:30pm—note that this special time is just for this week due to prior commitments. We'll break down the Match SIM against North Melbourne and wrap up the preseason with insights into training and our latest recruits.

    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
