The crows always take 2 m over the mark with no consequence, we consistently hang 5-10m back from the mark.

 

11 rounds in  and it has finally clicked.  But still a half to go.

Get the job done  vs Crows and  then get back possibly all of Lever , May and Salem for QB.  Finals will be in our sights.

Effort in the last third of that quarter was brilliant. Everyone cracked in hard. Few skill errors/decisions and we could be another three goals up.

 

Just slow cooked and ate the most amazing lamb shanks whilst watching the footy. 

At last our football is looking as tasty as those shanks. 

Let’s keep it up boys!

    Rough as guts but he's competing hard

    First game back in how long? He has some upside. 


    Forward line looks Dangerously dangerous for the first time in a while.

    Jeffy and Weed doing great.

    I thinks sometimes it’s just finding that perfect balance.

    A good quarter. Oliver and Gawn just smashing it. Hannan does look a tad rusty but that's to be expected first game back. 

    Them losing Sloane helps. Memo to the ch7 camera man. Keep it on the footy. Christ nearly missed Jeffy's goal when Petracca passed it over because we had to see Pyke in the coaches box. 

    anyway lets keep it going melbourne. So far so good. 

    Crows have applied basically no pressure so far. Our midfield is dominating.

    Game would be over if Tom Lynch wasn’t playing. He’s been there only really good player. 

    Sloane out is big - need to take advantage of this and put it beyond doubt this 3rd qtr.

    A lot of players that were copping early flak from you lot, have done some redeemable things. All except one. Are we watching Omac’s last game tonight?

    This year, shank has had a completely different meaning for us. Thanks for reclaiming it for a much greater purpose.

    Yep, been better than the likes of Spargo, Stretch and Hannan.

    I was thinking Stretch was playing a role in defence and on the wing rather well. But there you go.

    how is weid doing great

     

    Hot Slippery conditions is going to really stretch the fitness of the group later in the night. They’re down Sloane, which is a lucky break fr us. Go dees. Let’s bring this one home and light up a bit of hope fr the season! 

    Looks like the Viney of Old so far.

    Marking, tackling and kicked a goal.

    This is exactly the style of play that got us into finals last year and boy when it clicks like it has so far then we look bloody impressive.

    JKH with 12 disposals and really cracking in. Not bad for a bloke in his 2nd game from missing 8 weeks of footy.

    Nathan Jones down back for me is a big win so far. Bilky Stretch also doing well down there also.

    Jeffy back to his brilliant Jeffy best

    I [censored] love Frosty

    For arguably the first time this season bar the odd five minute patch.

    No I am not.

    He always make a good contest and puts in good second efforts.Sometimes it not just kicks and marks.

    He came in last minute and is putting in a good show, even Darcy has been giving him a rap.

     

    Jones looking good at half back apart from that Galluci moment where he just pointed instead of going to defend him himself.

    Are you being serious?

    Just a coup,e of minutes ago i i heard the ABC radio commentators giving him a big wrap. Yuo know, paid objective observers 

    Doing his job. Again. Laid a couple of crunching tackles late in the lst quarter too which should satisy his critiics who think he is not aggressive enough

    Watch with your eyes not your confirmation bias.

    • PREVIEW: West Coast

      Saturday’s election night game in Perth between the West Coast Eagles and Melbourne represents 18th vs 15th which makes it a tough decision as to which party to favour. The Eagles have yet to break the ice under their new coach in Andrew McQualter who is the second understudy in a row to confront Demon Coach Simon Goodwin who was also winless until a fortnight ago. On that basis, many punters might be considering to go with the donkey vote but I’ve been assigned with the task of helping readers to come to a considered opinion on this matter of vital importance across the nation. It was almost a year ago that I wrote a preview here of the Demons’ away game against the Eagles (under the name William from Waalitj because it was Indigenous Round).  I issued a warning that it was a danger game, based on my local knowledge that the home team were no longer easybeats and that they possessed a wunderkind generational player in Harley Reid who was capable of producing stellar performances playing among men a decade and more older than he.  At the time, the Eagles already had two wins off the back of a couple of the young man’s masterclasses and they had recently given the Bombers a scare straight after their Anzac Day blockbuster draw against the then reigning premiers.

    • PREGAME: West Coast

      The Demons hit the road in Round 8, heading to Perth to face the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium. With momentum building, the Dees will be aiming for a third straight victory to keep their season revival on course. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.
