Our game plan works if everyone is on. Unfortunately with the pre season we have had and injuries endured that was never going to happen.

I dare say we will see it in a game/s before the end of the year and we will literally [censored] someone.

 

Spot on.

    Just watched him play against collingwood.

    21 disposals 3 goals 5 tackles and 6 clearances. 

    Hugely impressed by his game today and if he keeps playing like that he will play senior footy very soon.

    By all account s he played a cracker for Casey today.

    Hope he can, at an appropriate time, take the next step.

    Well done.

    is it true he's still only 18?

    No, he's 93, his birth certificate was FORGED.

    So is he actually Andrew Dunkley's father (or perhaps grandfather) and not his son?

    Wordsworth's poem has always confused me but this may be the explanation?

    My Heart Leaps Up When I Behold - William Wordsworth (1802)

    My heart leaps up when I behold
    A rainbow in the sky:
    So was it when my life began;
    So is it now I am a man;
    So be it when I shall grow old,
    Or let me die!
    The Child is father of the Man;
    And I could wish my days to be
    Bound each to each by natural piety.

    Ah, Mono you have restored my faith in Demonland, poetry and class. Thank you.

    dieter, I had anticipated that Hemmingway would have beaten me to the punch.

    The commentators were saying he was the steal of the draft.  Others were recycled, trimmed from other lists.  Kyle is a fresh up and comer.

    No offence to the Dunkley, but the old man sounds like a over possessive Fl og

    Fancy giving your kids a serve and then demand them to go do a beep test because you didn't perform on game day. 

    What a [censored]

    Didn't he have a sook about Roosy forcing him into retirement because he was already 34 and was in and out of the 2s?

    How neat is that?!  The coach doesn't tell Kyle directly, but does it via his brother!!  That's nice!  (Just a pity we're not playing the Doggies this weekend!)  Will he maybe come in as Smith's replacement?

    Gotta be happy with this.

    In a season that has been an absolute tragedy for MFC, this is a genuine highlight.

    I really like how the club got his brother to tell him he is playing his first senior match. Even better for that fact his brother plays for another club. Family is everything, and this warms the heart.

    For once, well done MFC, well bloody done.

    No pressure Kyle, but i expect a rising star nomination this round.

    • PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      With both sides precariously positioned ahead of the run home to the finals, only one team involved in Sunday’s clash at the Adelaide Oval between the Power and the Demons will remain a contender when it’s over.  On current form, that one team has to be Melbourne which narrowly missed out on defeating the competition’s power house Collingwood on King's Birthday and also recently overpowered both 2024 Grand Finalists. Conversely, Port Adelaide snapped out of a four-game losing streak with a win against the Giants in Canberra. Although they will be rejuvenated following that victory, their performances during that run of losses were sub par and resulted in some embarrassing blow out defeats.

      Round 14 is upon us and there's plenty at stake across the rest of the competition. As Melbourne heads to Adelaide, it's time to turn our attention to the other matches of the Round. Which teams are you tipping this week? And which results would be most favourable for the Demons’ finals tilt?

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

    • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Collingwood

      Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.
