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.

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

    his check side was equally good. only took half a pace to his left.

    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.

    • POSTGAME: Sydney

      The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.

    • CASEY: Northern Bullants

      The Casey Demons travelled to a windy Cramer Street, Preston yesterday and blew the Northern Bullants off the ground for three quarters before shutting up shop in the final term, coasting to a much-needed 71-point victory after leading by almost 15 goals at one stage. It was a pleasing performance that revived the Demons’ prospects for the 2025 season but, at the same time, very little can be taken from the game because of the weak opposition. These days, the Bullants are little more than road kill. The once proud club, situated behind the Preston Market in a now culturally diverse area, is currently facing significant financial and on-field challenges, having failed to secure a win to date in 2025.

    • GAMEDAY: Sydney

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons have a golden opportunity to build on last week’s stirring win by toppling Sydney at the MCG. A victory today would keep them firmly in the hunt for a finals spot and help them stay in touch with the pack chasing a place in the Top 8. Can the Dees make it two in a row and bring down the Swans?

    • NON-MFC: Round 11

      Round 11, the second week of The Sir Doug Nicholls Round, kicks off on Thursday night with the Cats hosting the Bulldogs at Kardinia Park. Geelong will be looking to to continue their decade long dominance over the Bulldogs, while the Dogs aim to take another big scalp as they surge up the ladder. On Friday night it's he Dreamtime at the 'G clash between Essendon and Richmond. The Bombers will want to avoid another embarrassing performance against a lowly side whilst the Tigers will be keen to avenge a disappointing loss to the Kangaroos. Saturday footy kicks off as the Blues face the Giants in a pivotal clash for both clubs. Carlton need to turn around their up and down season while GWS will be eager to bounce back and reassert themselves as a September threat. At twilight sees the Hawks taking on the Lions at the G. Hawthorn need to cement themselves in the Top 4 but they’ll need to be at their best to challenge a Brisbane side eager to respond after last week’s crushing loss to the Dees on their home turf. The first of the Saturday night double headers opens with North Melbourne up against the high-flying Magpies. The Roos will need a near-perfect performance to trouble a Collingwood side sitting atop the ladder.
