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.

    • PREVIEW: North Melbourne

      Can you believe it? After a long period of years over which Melbourne has dominated in matches against North Melbourne, the Demons are looking down the barrel at two defeats at the hands of the Kangaroos in the same season. And if that eventuates, it will come hot on the heels of an identical result against the Gold Coast Suns. How have the might fallen? There is a slight difference in that North Melbourne are not yet in the same place as Gold Coast. Like Melbourne, they are currently situated in the lower half of the ladder and though they did achieve a significant upset when the teams met earlier in the season, their subsequent form has been equally unimpressive and inconsistent.

    • REPORT: Adelaide

      The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.

    • CASEY: Coburg

      The Casey Demons returned to their home ground which was once a graveyard for opposing teams but they managed to gift the four points on offer to Coburg with yet another of their trademark displays of inaccuracy in front of goals and some undisciplined football that earned the displeasure of the umpires late in the game. The home team was welcomed by a small crowd at Casey Fields and looked right at home as it dominated the first three quarters and led for all bar the last five minutes of the game. In the end, they came away with nothing, despite winning everywhere but on the scoreboard and the free kick count.

    • PREGAME: Rd 18 vs North Melbourne

      After four weeks on the road the Demons make their long awaited return to the MCG next Sunday to play in a classic late season dead rubber against the North Melbourne Kangaroos. Who comes in and who comes out?

    • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.
