Kk was always going to be a punt.  Need to get him confident of a return.  It’s now the danger time. One more concussion and I’d say it’s career over unfortunately.  

 

no t smith again,cant see him being kept on the list ,never gets on the park.Shame,i am afan of his

Looking to see how #65 Liam Buxton-Wales goes this week.  Impressed me earlier in the year and I think could be rookie opportunity at end of the year. 

Also will look out for bulldogs #56 Anthony Scott. Running wingman who played at Old Trinity and Richmond’s VFL team. Heard he is a goalkicking wingman who has realty shown this year in the Dogs VFL team.

Nice that we named Petracca as if it would trick them into thinking he'd line up in the VFL. 

11 AFL Listed MFC Players only. 

Dogs expected to win by at least 7 goals. Apart from Caleb Daniel (who is probably on the bench in their best 22), they have a fully fit squad!!! 19 AFL listed players. Amazing!!

Outside it’s wild and woolly. Inside a treat.

Relying on lots of contributions from posters because the game is at Metricon and its being televised.

Dogs have the only score - a point.


Only a matter of time before their speed ended up with a goal over the top. 7 - 1 - we have had more of play in our half but cannot get a shot on goal (including a air-y from Maynard in the goal square). 

I'm liking the look of Jordon.

Very raw, but you can see as he starts to put on size and get an AFL body he could be a very good player.

Jordon knows where to position himself to find the ball.

His first Q is very similar to how he finished off tac cup last year.

Developing nicely...


Wow.. Oscar McDonald outmarked by a smaller half forward...

All the emergencies playing?

NO Forwards and a severe lack of leg speed on the outside. Being carved up on the rebound. Oscar Mac just got schooled by a VAFA player. Absolutely schooled. Delist


Jordan playing in the guts and starting to play well. Needs to lower the eyes a little more (or possibly people need to give him better options? Hard to know on TV). Has a good kick on the boy. Playing on Mitch Wallis apparently. 

Baker does look too good for this level, but needs to be in the game a little more. His defensive efforts have been good in the first quarter. Got into the game as the quarter went on but his stats were padded with 3 touches in the back half in the last little bit of the quarter. 

JKH doing what he does - in and under getting the ball. When he makes a mistake, he goes and fixes it. 

Bedford once he puts on some more muscle will be a nice small forward. 

C Wagner is not as dominant as he has been in the last few weeks. 

Oscar is in frame but hasn't really done anything? He has lost one contest for the quarter (resulted in a behind), has disposed of the ball nicely. But he isn't playing last line of defence and that might also be an issue we need to fix up for Q2. 

Our VFL defenders are really in trouble. If they get some space, our defenders are left miles behind. When we are going forward they tend to put it on the head of White. I'm not sure who has been getting the inside 50s - I'd say 50/50 for VFL/AFL listed. But lets face it, there arent a lot in the VFL who you'd want delivering to you as a key forward. You can see why Jordan, JKH, Wagners and Oscar have been our emergencies lately as there isn't a lot there.

  • PREGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

    With their season all over bar the shouting the Demons head back on the road for the third week in a row as they return to Adelaide to take on the Crows. Who comes in and who goes out?

  • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

    The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.

  • GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons are back on the road again and this may be the last roll of the dice to get their 2025 season back on track as they take on the Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium.

  • PREVIEW: Gold Coast

    The Gold Coast Suns find themselves outside of the top eight for the first time since Round 1 with pressure is mounting on the entire organisation. Their coach Damien Hardwick expressed his frustration at his team’s condition last week by making a middle-finger gesture on television that earned him a fine for his troubles. He showed his desperation by claiming that Fox should pick up the tab.  There’s little doubt the Suns have shown improvement in 2025, and their position on the ladder is influenced to some extent by having played fewer games than their rivals for a playoff role at the end of the season, courtesy of the disruption caused by Cyclone Alfred in March.  However, they are following the same trajectory that hindered the club in past years whenever they appeared to be nearing their potential. As a consequence, that Hardwick gesture should be considered as more than a mere behavioral lapse. It’s a distress signal that does not bode well for the Queenslanders. While the Suns are eager to remain in contention with the top eight, Melbourne faces its own crisis, which is similarly deep-seated but in a much different way. After recovering from a disappointing start to the season and nearing a return to respectability among its peer clubs, the Demons have experienced a decline in status, driven by the fact that while their form has been reasonable (see their performance against the ladder leader in the Kings Birthday match), their conversion in front of goal is poor enough to rank last in the competition. Furthermore, their opponents find them exceptionally easy to score against. As a result, they have effectively eliminated themselves from the finals race and are again positioned to finish in the bottom half of the ladder.

  • NON-MFC: Round 15

    As the Demons head into their Bye Round, it's time to turn our attention to the other matches being played. Which teams are you tipping this week? And which results would be most favourable for the Demons if we can manage to turn our season around?
