    - Cam Pederson looked in ripping touch. Beat TMac at least three times in some one on one drills. Looks a lock for Monday.

    Beating one of the best contested marking forwards currently in the league? Now i'm even more confused about which end of the ground Pedo could play in! :laugh: Obviously Smith will be in defence, but Pedo might be more than capable of being a CHB by necessity at some point this year.

    I wonder when the threads comparing Jetta to Wrecker will start... Will be an interesting conversation.

    I only really remember the tail end of Wrecker's career, but Jetta has him covered handily based on my memory at least. Whelan did it for far longer, and actually played finals too (something I think we all hope Jetta will be able to rectify before long).

    Interesting. Wrecker was beloved, but I reckon probably never threatened to be All Australian, or even make a squad. Jetta is making serious waves now in the wider AFL world, and in multiple seasons too. He'll be in his prime for anther couple of seasons yet too.

    Just had a look at Wreckers wiki page... Just for lols.

    2008 & Brendan Fevola incident[edit]

    In round-five of the 2008 season, Whelan was reported for striking Carlton's full-forward Brendon Fevola, but who could blame him. He was offered a two-week suspension by the AFL. But an early-guilty plea reduced this to just one week.

    I was at that game, and I still can't even believe a smother caused that kind of injury. It was crazy.

    Some smothers are basically identical to the sliding in for the ball and hitting a players legs that was outlawed, so it will probably be outlawed at some point as players are told to do it by keeping their feet or do it and avoid hitting a players legs. I'm surprised that we haven't had the conversation over a correct and incorrect smother yet. Will probably be banned if it happened to Cotchin or Dangerfield and they broke a leg nowadays imo.

    Unfortunately after being laid out, Hird then pulled himself back together and through sheer force of will played a major part of getting his team over the line against us that day. 

    That was back in a time when I had respect for him and wished we had a player like him. He had it all....

    Getting beaten was pretty standard for us back then. Our only joy was a play here and there.... maybe the odd come-from-behind win against Freo. I still remember those fondly.

    So this probably means Garlett won't be playing in the VFL.

    • GAMEDAY: Richmond

      It's Game Day and the Demons return to the MCG to face the Tigers in their annual Blockbuster on ANZAC Eve for the 10th time. The Dees will be desperate to reignite their stuttering 2025 campaign and claim just their second win of the season. Can the Demons dig deep and find that ANZAC Spirit to snatch back to back wins?

    • PREVIEW: Richmond

      A few years ago, the Melbourne Football Club produced a documentary about the decade in which it rose from its dystopic purgatory of regular thrashings to the euphoria of a premiership victory. That entire period could have been compressed in a fast motion version of the 2025 season to date as the Demons went from embarrassing basket case to glorious winner in an unexpected victory over the Dockers last Saturday. They transformed in a single week from a team that put in a pedestrian effort of predictably kicking the ball long down the line into attack that made a very ordinary Bombers outfit look like worldbeaters into a slick, fast moving side with urgency and a willingness to handball and create play with shorter kicks and by changing angles to generate an element of chaos that yielded six goals in each of the opening quarters against Freo.

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    • PREGAME: Richmond

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?
