Great half in terms of responding to a challenge. Lever down, Melksham and T. Smith are both carrying knocks. We really need to blow the doggies away in the 3rd. If we give them a sniff for the final qtr they might outlast us.

That's my worry. Need to blow them away. We'll run out of legs. AFL should not be giving us a 6 day break after NT.

We're not playing well, but let's be realistic - we aren't going to play well every single week.  Some games will be a struggle.  It's how we respond that matters.

After them kicking the first 3, having lots of cheap frees and winning the clearances, we showed the maturity to steady and kick 7 of the next 8.  Our older heads stood up, while Macca and Hogan stood up in the forward line.  We are cleaner, smarter and better, but allowing the Dogs to drag us down to their level.

I'm still confident for the second half but it won't be a 10 goal win.

Midfield need to work harder on the clearances. That’s what’s keeping the dogs in the game.

Gotta start getting on top in clearances. Do that and we will easy and take pressure off the backline without Lever. 

Jetta is unbelievable. A beast!

Lever a possible bone bruise (at best) or a lateral for 4 to 6 (at worst).  Done for the day if someone hasnt't already mentioned

Lever update please have a heart attack here

[censored] I suppose better than the ACL! 

Fingers crossed not too serious. 

This is going to be a struggle. Dogs love to play boring low scoring rubbish. They have held us very well. With one down and 2 not fully fit, this will be a big ask. Especially off a short break. 

51 point win coming up

RN, that is sensational news in the scheme of things, particularly if you're paranoid (like me) when it comes to these things.

Same knee that Lever had the reco on a few years ago.

I dont think its gonna be good news. I hope Im wrong.

The only positive thing is that we have an 8 day break coming up and then the bye.  Hopefully Lever may just miss a week and return after the bye.

Umps have been pathetic. Almost like the AFL told them to make sure it’s a contest and not another trashing. 

Tbh I've not really noticed the other two just the toerag Ray.

How many frees does Ray Chmberlin pay when he is not central umpire?! Ridiculous [censored] amounts.

Smith poleaxed in the back off the ball, no free.

Jetta what a guy, steady the ship Neville.

We look a little warn and sore but we should get up.

You never now when Lucifer's big ass boot is gonna get lodged between our sticks RTG.  All we can do each day is hope to avoid the [censored] and if we can't, at least make sure it doesn't turn into a goal

I hope the club come out soon to confirm the Lever injury. My anxiety levels have risen...

Not sure they can say anything until he has had scans.

We can hope, but not unheard of to be walking after an acl.

Fingers and toes.

Razor is an absolute tool.

Just hope we have enough petrol in the tanks to finish the second half well.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc.
