Recommended Posts

Because the AFL are always looking to promote their two start ups wherever possible.

Andy if you are still grumpy just grab a few highlights from previous 6 weeks and enjoy again mate.

How can any demon supporter be grumpy today with the news of TMac re-signing!

I've turned that frown upside down since then but now you have just reminded me about Jesse and I'm grumpy again.

Don't get me started on Nic Nat getting the Ruck gig ahead of Maxy in the AFL Team of the Week.

What is being overlooked is that Jesse ran to made good position to receive, looked for options, found none to his liking, decided that the best option was to shoot, changed stride, steadied and kicked the perfect goal from that position. Pure, pure skill.

No fluke but a considered, premeditated shot from a severe angle while on the move. That's what sets it apart from all the others.

It's what we have come to expect from Jesse. His football smarts and execution in his many roles are exceptional.

I simply do not care about these side shows. I don't care about goal of the week, mark of the year, the Brownlow votes or the opinions of football media etc.

I care about one thing winning games up to and including the GF.

They can say what they like I simply don't care.

Speaking of Jesse, when was the last time a Demon kicked back to back bags of five?

EDIT: Just had a look, best I could find was Russell Robertson back in 2005.

This is a job for @Supermercado

I will stand corrected but given that we were lucky to score five goals in a week most of the time after 2007 that Russell Robertson's 7 and 6 in Round 20-21, 2005 are the winners.

Next was Neitz with 6/6/5 in Round 16-18, 2004 (also had 8/5 in Round 20 and 22, 2006 but missed the game in the middle).

What about +5 goal Melbourne players since 2000 full-stop. It's an eclectic selection - will update if I've missed any.

This hasn’t really got anything to do with this weeks goals of the week but I’ll put it here anyway. 

I’ve been thinking the last couple of weeks how with all the goals we’ve kicked over the last month, none of them have been jaw dropping pulled out of your arse goals, or flukes or lucky bounces. 

They’ve pretty much all been standard, well structured goals. Shows how well everything is working. 

 

[censored] we’re boring.

Agreed. We must have had about 10 goals against Adelaide that were as good as the GWS nominated one. If this is what it is like to be boring, then bore the hell out of me! ?

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last
