Plenty of disagreement on Demonland but less personal attacks.

    Fritta to play every game, therefor kicking 50 plus goals. 

    I want to see either a Sparrow or Jordan fight for a regular spot, investment wise it was big decision to draft these types of players when it wasn't a priority so they need to start to push hard for selection.

    All of the above, esp. Steve McQ keeping his teeth.

    It will be great if one or both of them come on this season and it sounds like there's every reason to have some confidence that will happen. 

    Pick 27 and Pick 33 doesn't sound like a big investment to me, compared with say the pick 3 and pick 10 investment this year - "now that's a knife"

    What "types" are they and which players do you think we missed out picking there?

    Love to beat the West Coast in Perth round 1  convincingly to the tune of 10 goals and make that statement. Could set us up for  the remainder of the year.

    I like to see Petracca  kick 7 straight goals in a match winning display in the Queens birthday game.

    Being free of any major injuries.

    Dont get me wrong im not really critical of them, i just thought we had other areas we should have addressed rather than an inside mid and half back flanker.

     

    The investment is pick 6 for May and KK could have been King, would be very handy. but thats teh draft for you, full of what ifs. i just hope they can have an impact and show something.

    A game plan! 

    A system that doesn't involve hit-and-hope balls kicked to the top of the square. Or a system that doesn't press too far and leave opposition running into open, easy goals. Where the midfield are not bees to a honeypot and no one plays outside...

    Other than that. Players played in correct positions. Team selection based on form/fitness.

    Shepherding.

    Like, you mean a team mate getting between one of our players with the ball and an opposition player who's intent on mowing him down ??

    What purpose wouldn't that serve ??

    Shepherding, yes shepherding. That seems like a pretty good idea. Oh ...........and Weideman dominating a game at full forward.

    Depending on their size, I’d back myself in to handle a few of the Meth-Head’s anyway.

    In my case, I'd beat them in a fight by 50m.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

    • GAMEDAY: Essendon

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      As the focus of the AFL moves exclusively to South Australia for Gather Round, the question is raised as to what are we going to get from the  Melbourne Football Club this weekend? Will it be a repeat of the slop fest of the last three weeks that have seen the team score a measly 174 points and concede 310 or will a return to the City of Churches and the scene where they performed at their best in 2024 act as a wakeup call and bring them out of their early season reverie?  Or will the sleepy Dees treat their fans to a reenactment of their lazy effort from the first Gather Round of two years ago when they allowed the Bombers to trample all over them on a soggy and wet Adelaide Oval? The two examples from above tell us how fickle form can be in football. Last year, a committed group of players turned up in Adelaide with a businesslike mindset. They had a plan, went in confidently and hard for the football and kicked winning scores against both home teams in a difficult environment for visitors. And they repeated that sort of effort later in the season when they played Essendon at the MCG.
