Billy's and Nibblers careers have gone in opposite directions this season. Easy to forget that Stretch had played more career AFL games than Nibbler at the conclusion of last season. Both drafted same year, Stretch was the first to really show promise out of the two. Fast forward to now, and it is Nibbler who is the mainstay in the team. 

Hopefully Billy can turn it around and both boys can be mainstays in the demons team that should be playing finals for a few seasons ahead.

That video of Nibbler popping out of the wheely bin and scaring Clarry was bloody funny.

 

Interesting backstory, too, about his mother and his interest in working with people with disabilities.

I had been thinking that Harmes was our most improved in 2018 but perhaps I was taking ANB's form for granted and assumed he was always like this. Either way, the improvement in both has been pleasing to see.


I remember there was a puff piece on ANB on the Queens Bday too.  And one  on Gawn also.

I wish our players would stay the [censored] out of the media until we actually qualify for a finals series.

How this guy has held his spot is beyond me. A player who rates himself a lot better than he is. And please don't tell me about the running capability. It means stuff all if he can't dispose of it.

 

He's the perfect metaphor for our list. Looks good when there's no pressure & goes missing when the heat is on. 

The media curse strikes another player. It seems that every time a player is written up in the media, whether it's for his performance or positive off-field activities, he play a stinker the next game. It's been going on as long as I can remember.

Serious question: Does the club use a psychologist? It seems to me we should be.

  • REPORT: Gold Coast

    From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

  • CASEY: Gold Coast

    Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

  • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

    The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.

  • GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons are back on the road again and this may be the last roll of the dice to get their 2025 season back on track as they take on the Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium.
