What happened to the holding the ball rule?

JHK walking in the rooms. Great news. 

That non decision on Hodge was a shocker.  Picked it up, got tackled, let the ball go... nothing.  It's reflective of the umpiring so far today.

The road to Cranbourne is open in the summer months. Take plenty of water, and provisions for three days, and extra fuel. Notify police before you go, including your car rego and expected date of arri

Viney looks like a bull at the gates out there. One bit of play he tackled a bloke, pried the footy from his grasp & bollocked his way through 3 guys before he got the clearance. Can’t wait to see

Chandler the standout that quarter. 2 goals, should have had 3, a pack mark and a lovely pass to Jones who missed.  Jordan impressed off half back. Petty solid. Sparrow quiet. Melk very good that

It was a serious hyper-extension, so i wouldn't be celebrating too soon. Wait until the scan before we start thanking some deity.

Lewis has been very good.

He is a calm head out there for us.  He, Salem and Hibberd can give us some great run and ball use from half back.  Feels like it's taken a term and a half for them to click.

Great lead up and inside 50 by Weid. Just needs to get more of it!

And Trac nailing a set shot for the first time in forever! He's having a great game so far.

Get injured!? ?

play safe, lose form, and struggle with confidence.  

...  and injuries can happen from playing not on instinct.

 

This IS the game we should be showing our form... running into the H&A season.   And they haven't turned up to play.  Tthey've turned up, to not get out of the team.

 

Too many around here,  saying don't get injured,  hurts the players psyche.   Tthis is why we are struggling.

Yet Tracca is trying hard,  because he has a burning arrse,  from the fire put under him.

We are two points down.  But, apparently, our backline is trash, they're running rings around us and we are stinking it up completely.  Can't wait to see when we're on, we'll win games by 150 points.

Most of the comments were based on the first quarter - and warranted.  Significant improvement since then clearly.

I guess he can kick set shots. Great lead and kick Trac. 

Just about his best lead for his entire career. He is so explosive and played his entire junior career in the forward line.

I'd have him as our third 'tall' and have Smith use his athleticism to pressure the contest.

Huge tackle from Trac! This is the best game I've seen him play in a long time.

We don't seem to have addressed our inability to lock the ball in the forward line as per last week's issues. 

Ground ball keep coming straight back out when our forwards can't clunk it.  Maybe Brisbane has dropped a lot of numbers back but it looks too easy for them.

I really dislike Rhyse Matheson....

He's a soft mid with poor disposal.  Plays for frees from Duckwood's handbook

I think you're referring to Christensen there GCDee. He came out of the ducking factory of Geelong so no surprises.

    RETURN TO NORMAL by Whispering Jack

    One of my prized possessions is a framed, autographed guernsey bearing the number 31 worn by my childhood hero, Melbourne’s champion six time premiership player Ronald Dale Barassi who passed away on 16 September 2023, aged 87. The former captain who went on to a successful coaching career, mainly with other clubs, came back to the fold in his later years as a staunch Demon supporter who often sat across the way from me in the Northern Stand of the MCG cheering on the team. Barassi died the

    PODCAST: Match SIM vs North Melbourne

    Join us LIVE on Monday night at 8:30pm—note that this special time is just for this week due to prior commitments. We'll break down the Match SIM against North Melbourne and wrap up the preseason with insights into training and our latest recruits. I apologize for skipping our annual season review show at the end of last season. After a disapponting season filled with off-field antics and a heated trade week, I needed a break.

    GAMEDAY: Match SIM vs North Melbourne

    After an agonizingly long off-season the 2025 AFL Premiership Season is almost upon us and the Demons have their first practice hit out against the Kangaroos in a match simulation out at Arden Street. The Demons will take on the Kangaroos in match simulation play, starting from 10am AEDT and broadcast live on Foxtel and Kayo. The play start time was brought forward from the initial 11am bounce, due to the high temperatures forecast.  The match sim will consist of four 25-minute qu
