Wow. 

My Uncle died last week. He was a massive Tiger man. 

This game will be hard to follow

R.I.P. Uncle Grant

Go Demons....

    Pretty impressed with our start, although I'd wager it may drop off with the heat factor, but we are on top in the midfield and we are generally taking our chances.  

     

    Seen enough to know 666 rule will see us kick quote a few cricket scores this year.

    I am calling it early. Preuss is not really any good.

    I thought Preuss was dominant in the ruck

     

    good on field leadership by clarry that quarter when tigers were coming hard. he took the mark at CHB and could have easily played on but slowed play down instead. passes to angus, he kicks long down the line, reset again then bang, bang, 2 goals for us in 2 minutes.

    They'll get a run in the second half I'd say, with a couple of our senior players getting a rest.

    Commentator just said both sides have their main players in it......uhhhh

    We're missing VDB, Gawn, Viney, Hibberd, Jetta, Lever, May, Jones, Lewis, Melksham and Hannan (i count at least 9 of our best 22).

    Tiges are missing Grigg, Castagna, Lynch and Caddy from their best 22.

    A few missing from Tiges, a lot from our side, commentator clearly has NFI

    Not unhappy with that. Looked clean which is a great sign in JLT, especially in close.

    Now no injuries and no blow out loss and I'll be happy.

    Good to be posting on DL again after the summer hiatus :)

    Fair indication of our midfield depth with plenty out but we have an onball trio of Brayshaw Oliver and Harmes...

    Anybody know how to get rid of the stats screen on my tablet, and have the video full screen?

     

    You watching using AFL app? That's the way it is now. They don't give you the full screen

    Trac is a much better shot on the run. 

    He's like Robert Redford as The Sundance Kid

    Good quarter. It is a pity the commentators talk too much rubbish.

    He's no Max, but he'll quickly become a very handy addition to our side.  If he can hold his own up forward then he can feast on the oppositions second ruckman when he gives Max a rest.

    Most out there from our backline. Which is a bit what we're seeing - rest of the field looks pretty solid, backs not so much.

    Oliver is Oliver, but with the stunning emergence of Harmes and re-emergence of Gus, our midfield bats very deep.

    Pruess’s ruck timing is way off, needs to fix it fast to get that second ruck position.

    Spot on, bing.  Many of their scores came from a turnover or missed spoils.  That won't happen nearly as much with the first choice defence in there.

    Annoying, at least I don't get the Iphone view anymore, and at least I watching the game, not whinging just asking

     

    Hoping Trac can work on his set shots. He’s great otherwise and could be such a damaging player for us this year.

    We look to have good depth through the midfield. Preuss has been fairly poor though. Opposition ruckman have just been taking it out of the ruck against him. Harmes and Brayshaw both look like continuing on from last year and dominating again.

    • 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.
