Tracc a solid game tonite.  Loving the mid field starting 3 of Tracc, Brayshaw, Viney ..mostly no Jones, Viney & Clarry.  Much better Goody

 

We have won the game, now time to kick the goals we should have done in the 1st 100min

 

Hogan wow.... so far off being a good key forward right now

 

I’m off the Hogan station wagon

officially a couldabeen champion 

huge potential but needs smarts, real application and intense desire at the footy

hugely frustrating

    Are all you ANB whiners going to give him credit for the goal, or do you only pipe up in the bad times?

    ANB might miss a few, but he's clearly best 22.

    probably is...says something about what we have at VFL level

    Spargo just made a contest then and was penalised.  What in the world was it for?  This isn't netball.

    Dont let that goal fool you he has been [censored] house tonight well and truely deserves to be dropped.

    Both mentally weak 

    Are you a fan, last thing he is, is weak, trained like a demon to make the most of limited skills, huge running effort, and you call him weak... fair dinkum NFI

    So disappointed with garlett tonight. 

    Some of us tried to point out he has no form.

    This is a different MFC to last week. Much more desperation. Is goody holding family members hostage, Taken-style (anyone got a hotline to L.Neeson)

    Hogan is almost afraid of leading at the footy in the forward line. Look at how his defender played the ball and marked it on his chest. That's what Hogan should have done.

    He barely leads then keeps losing 1 on 1's - contested marks are just not his game at the moment  - I'd get him out of the forward line and just leave T Mac deep.   He's in a real rut.

    And who are you gonna bring up? Bugg? Worse kick, worse endurance.

    Another Viney Bullet handball. 

    Viney & Jones ...crazy chit from experienced players, especially in the slippery conditions

    I feel for ANB a bit.  Clearly he is getting everything out of his abilities, but too often he misses an easy shot, or takes a wrong option and it really lets him down.  If he can clean that up, and I think he can do it, then he could be a really handy player in our side.  As it stands he lets himself down too often, but you are right to argue that he is certainly not weak.

    need to kick a few more and take away some percentage from this hell hole.

    A few late goals to freo would really top it off !!

    Typically - what does one do with players in a rut? Send to the 2s?

    FFS, we're over 50 points up in Darwin. You'd think we're down by 80 with some of the negative Nancy stuff

    • NON-MFC: Round 09

      Round 9 kicks off out west with the Dockers hosting a Collingwood side resting several stars. Fremantle need to make a statement on their home deck after some disappointing form on the road, while the Magpies will be keen to maintain their Top 2 position. Friday night sees a must-win clash between two sides desperate to stay in touch with the eight. St Kilda have shown glimpses while Carlton are clinging to relevance after a flat start to the season. Saturday’s twilight game at Marvel pits the Bombers against a struggling Sydney outfit. Essendon can’t afford another close match against a lower-ranked side, while the Swans risk sliding down the ladder even further. Up in Darwin, the fourth-placed Suns will look to extend their stay in the top four. The Bulldogs have hit their stride with three big wins on the trot and will be very keen to consolidate on their momentum. The always fiery Showdown looms as pivotal for both clubs. Adelaide are eyeing a spot in the Top 4 with a win, while Port Adelaide’s season could slip away if they drop another game and fall further behind the pack. Sunday begins with a yawn fest between Richmond and West Coast. The Tigers need to bank the points to stay clear of the bottom two, while the Eagles are still chasing their first win of the year. The Giants face one of the league’s toughest road trips as they travel to GMHBA Stadium to face the Cats. With GWS at risk of a third straight loss, Geelong will be eager to consolidate their position inside the eight and start their climb up the ladder. The round wraps up with the top-of-the-table Lions heading to Ninja Stadium to take on the second-last Roos. The Lions should easily take care of the struggling Roos who might be powerless against the best in the comp. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front. They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.
