    Not sure if this has been covered but did anyone else think that Neville Jetta looked a little proppy in the last quarter. I cant imagine life without Nev but he looked as though he was treading water trying to chase an opposition player. Like Hogan he has an ungainly gait but this was definitely something else. Maybe Saty might be able to help with this.

    Grabbed the joke, instantly! It was a good one. Surely no-one was offended. 

    Nobody with any actual intelligence.

    ET don't be like that. Wouldn't like someone else to get their nose out of joint.

    Fair enough. If it was the piece of play I’m thinking of, Nev just looked buggered from running hard.

    Crows might get Matt Crouch and Milera back for Sunday

    but are still without, Walker, Sloane, B Crouch, McGovern, Knight, and B Smith.  That's 6 of their best.  Shows how badly the dogs are going to only score 2 goals against them

    With those outs we should expose them. :)

    Jamie Bennell would consistently get a game in Darwin back in the day, often picked from nowhere to play so I wouldn’t be surprised if Spargo is rested & Garlett does come in, not entirely because of indigenous round but think it may play a part in Garletts secletion

    In case you haven’t noticed, there have been huge changes at MFC since Jamie Bennell was on our list.

    IF Bennell was getting picked to play in Darwin just because he was indigenous, i very much doubt if Garlett would be picked by the current match committee just because he is indigenous.

    If the incident I am thinking of, commentators said he had just made two big efforts on the ball or tackling and was shot...

     

    hopefully that is all it was.

    Injury update said Weids did a calf at training.  Will be out this week (more precautionary) and ready the week after.  Interesting to see if he has to come back via Casey, or straight in

    As for the changes re: Adelaide - an 80% fit Matt Crouch with hamstring trouble doesn't worry me too much.  Our midfield is fit and firing and I have every confidence that we can run over the top of them.

    Their backline is pretty well drilled and one of the better ones we've faced in the last month, so we'll need to be on our game in terms of how we use the ball forward of the centre.  

    Other than that we should have them covered!

    Probably none, we need to put  crap on anyone who is underperforming.That worked for Harmes and Melksham.

    Yep Wise, the last team we played that had six of their best (liberal) players out, we won by over 100 points, should be easy.....

    Hes not that crucial to the mix yet id say. Bull might get another run...ease Weed back.

    We are running at a level way above the Crows right now.  Anything is possible at AFL level but If we hold our form this should be a very solid win and if the tea leaves are correct there is a good chance of a pretty big blow out in the offing.

    Go Demons!

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front.  They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

      The Demons return to the MCG to take on the High Flying Hawks on Saturday Afternoon. Hawthorn will be aiming to consolidate a position in the Top 4 whilst the Dees will be looking to take a scalp and make it four wins in a row. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
