I was at the game after 12 hours of travelling ... Watts was reliable and effective for Port - Watts' foot skills we missed by the Dees and felt by the Dees under pressure - Watts did some great things in the heat of the backline (theirs) during in-comings (ours) and losses of possession (ours) - in fact, Watts just played his game and did it very well - marked well, spoiled well, ran to position well, cleared well, absorbed the efforts of the Weed and TMac including the Dees' smalls, teamed-up with his new teammates yet did nothing exceptional, nothing that we had not seen for years - I think that underneath, we all knew he'd be a loss. 

we ended up getting fritsch for watts. I don't know about you but I would take fritsch any day of the week and I think most other dees fans would. (bear in mind Watts had one good game, and he was basically non-existent for Port last year)  

I was still sad to see the back of watts, (thought he was finally becoming a good footballer through 2017) however again, fritsch seems to bring more to the table.

Yes, generally agree.

I was hoping for a win last Saturday and got what I suspected. 

This week I am hoping we don't get a belting.

    THE ACCIDENTAL DEMONS by The Oracle

    In the space of eight days, the Melbourne Football Club’s plans for the coming year were turned upside down by two season-ending injuries to players who were contending strongly for places in its opening round match against the GWS Giants. Shane McAdam was first player to go down with injury when he ruptured an Achilles tendon at Friday afternoon training, a week before the cut-off date for the AFL’s pre-season supplemental selection period (“SSP”). McAdam was beginning to get some real mom

    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

We'll break down the Match SIM against North Melbourne and wrap up the preseason with insights into training and our latest recruits.

    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
