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.

Too bad he missed that goal after the siren , would have finished with 6.

Times are tough.

Even that Ablett one was average

Jesse's was from a much tighter angle. Ablett's was just further out.

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! ?

I think Jesse's should be goal of the week just for the comedy gold going on in the background with Gawn and his opponent while Hoges was kicking it.

    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. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.
