Madness
in Melbourne Demons

It may seem Glass-Half-Empty but I have a feeling both teams will be eyeing each other off quite closely.

It would seem time for us to make a genuine submission to win by this time of the year.

Even if we were having a "late start", I cant believe any one at MFC would be happy to tank this one.

I reckon it will be a belter of a practise match (if Im right and there hasnt been a deal done to go half hearted)

I almost wish I wasnt going surfing...

    Franky the surf is going to be much better Sunday morning, 4-6 ft and offshore early.

    Go for a surf Sat morning, then go to to the footy, then surf Sunday morning. That's what i am doing.

    Where are you heading for a paddle?

    Does this mean Newton is in the squad?

    Bring it on.

    Wonder if he will be given more than 5 minutes a quarter and played in his rightful position.

    There is no way i am missing Juice's debut in the Demons colours.

    Judgement Day, well sort of.

    according to Punt Road end we're up 6.5 to 2.4

    wouldn't have a clue about goal kickers/best players.

    again according to them these are some of the match ups:

    Raines on Yze, King on Davey, Bowdenl on Neitz, Deledio on Miller, Gasper on Robertson

    EDIT: Damn you YM for being 2 mins faster!

    Six goals - isn't that our entire quota from last week?

    sounds like we are playing some good footy? would like to know who is kicking all our goals??

    Now 8.6.54 to 3.6.24

    I'm out of SMS range but I'll try to get a half time summary from Fan or Scoop Junior at half time.

    Is it on the Radio?

  • Quote

    To my knowledge it is not on the radio.

    One PRE poster suggested that we took our key players off towards the end of the qtr when they kicked 3 quick ones

    Neita doing OK apparently - starting to "get away a bit" from bowden

    Anyone know how "Chip" Frawley's travelling?

    Can't get through to the guys at the ground but will let you know when I hear from them.

    Finally spoke to Scoop Junior at the ground just as they were about to start the third quarter.

    There's a fair bit of player rotation going on with eight players on the bench. From the selected squad Ben Holland and Byron Pickett are out as foreshadowed and palying tomorrow for the Zebras.

    Melbourne dominated the game but late in the second quarter Richmond suddenly kicked into gear and reduced the Demons' 30 point lead to 11 points in fairly short time.

    Goalkickers: Neitz 3 Jones Davey Green C Johnson

    Best Players Carroll C Johnson (on a wing) Jones & Neitz while Travis has been quietish, his skills have shown out and he's had a hand in a few goals

    Chip Frawley's been only on for the best part of 10 minutes and as you would guess, he hasn't done much.

    Thanks for that WJ. Much appreciated.

    We kicked the first goal of the second half but the Tiges kicking is off beam 9.8.62 to 6.10.46

    Meanwhile the Vics were all out for 122 in their second dig and they miss out on the Pura Cup final.

    Now I can concentrate fully on the Demons, the World Cup Cricket and the World Swimming Championships!

    • PREVIEW: West Coast

      It was bad enough that the Melbourne Football Club created yet another humiliating scenario inside its wretched season at Marvel Stadium last Sunday, but the final insult is that it has been commanded to return to the scene of the crime to inflict further punishment on its fans this week. Incidentally, if this match preview, of a game that promises to be one of the most unattractive fixtures in the history of the game, happens to cut out of your computer screen three quarters of the way through, it’s no coincidence. I’ll be mirroring the Demons’ lacklustre effort against St Kilda from last Sunday when they conceded the largest last quarter turnaround for victory in the history of the game.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.
