Jetta has had a brilliant quarter

 

Milkshake doesn’t look good.

The only record I care about is the one we could break at the end of September this year. Just winning today with our injuries will be enough.

 

Two down for the day by the looks of it. Will need to dig real deep here 


ok there's the consecutive winning quarter streak over. time to start playing properly....

Any news on Lever and Melk?

If it wasn’t for Jetta down back they would have another 3 goals.

Use into F50 is horrible. 

Fumbling all over the ground, and getting smashed in the clearances, getting out hunted and without the stats I’d guess hard ball gets as well. 

 

 

For all the peanuts talking about 10 goal minimum wins, I hope you are now regretting those statements.


Big ask with two down. But if we take our chances we can still we this.

For all their domination around the contest, especially winning the clearances 17-5 and having a bucket load of dodgy free kicks, we're just 8 points down.  

They are flooding the contest and flooding our forward line.  I'm glad it's quarter time as I think it gives us a chance to reset and change a few things around to combat it.

With two currently down on the bench, this is a big test for the boys coming off a 6 day break in Alice Springs.  I reckon we can do it.

We're just 1 down. Dogs have an injury too.

2 down, and about 5 minutes of anything resembling our game.  Time to really pick this up.  We knew the doggies would come hard, now to shake them.


Thank god for Jetta. He single handedly saved us 3-4 goals that quarter and has kept us in the game. Midfield needs to lift and lower the eyes going inside 5”. Long bombs to packs are useless.

Wake up Demons!

Who got injured from the dogs?

Need to give Tom and Jesse to tire out there opponents

Dickson


why are the tall forwards trying to out mark each other

2 down, everyone not named Jetta needs to lift.

 

Harmes in with the defenders at the quarter time huddle. Might see him go back.

What's wrong with Lever and Melk?

Lever. Knee. Hopefully not his ACL

Melksham. Ankle.

    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.

  • GAMEDAY: West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?

  • FEATURE: 1925

    A hundred years ago today, on 2 May 1925, Melbourne kicked off the new season with a 47 point victory over St Kilda to take top place on the VFL ladder after the opening round of the new season.  Top place was a relatively unknown position for the team then known as the “Fuchsias.” They had finished last in 1923 and rose by only one place in the following year although the final home and away round heralded a promise of things to come when they surprised the eventual premiers Essendon. That victory set the stage for more improvement and it came rapidly. In this series, I will tell the story of how the 1925 season unfolded for the Melbourne Football Club and how it made the VFL finals for the first time in a decade on the way to the ultimate triumph a year later.

  • PREVIEW: West Coast

    Saturday’s election night game in Perth between the West Coast Eagles and Melbourne represents 18th vs 15th which makes it a tough decision as to which party to favour. The Eagles have yet to break the ice under their new coach in Andrew McQualter who is the second understudy in a row to confront Demon Coach Simon Goodwin who was also winless until a fortnight ago. On that basis, many punters might be considering to go with the donkey vote but I’ve been assigned with the task of helping readers to come to a considered opinion on this matter of vital importance across the nation. It was almost a year ago that I wrote a preview here of the Demons’ away game against the Eagles (under the name William from Waalitj because it was Indigenous Round).  I issued a warning that it was a danger game, based on my local knowledge that the home team were no longer easybeats and that they possessed a wunderkind generational player in Harley Reid who was capable of producing stellar performances playing among men a decade and more older than he.  At the time, the Eagles already had two wins off the back of a couple of the young man’s masterclasses and they had recently given the Bombers a scare straight after their Anzac Day blockbuster draw against the then reigning premiers.
