Best game since 2018.

 

Tracc and Gawn were immense.

 

Ive seen a few mention it, but I reckon Langdon deserves a heap of praise. Last week was good, this week we saw exactly why we went after him. Runs and Runs and runs and hit his targets today. 
 

also thought Clarry improved as the game went on. Getting better at picking when to handball and when to kick. Still has to be a focus though. 

Definitely an improvement from Oliver, but that handball to Max was a shocker.

 

Smashing Hawthorn makes the apocalypse feel way better. 

Oscar has come in and said listen [censored], don’t listen to what Simon says, this is my world and this is how you’re setting up. 

Petrecca is something else. The balance and movement plus  explosion stands out likes dogs balls in an era of ugly footy. Really bringing the joy back for me. 

Gawn took the [censored] all day. 

Oliver and Viney were a driving force. Bullies. 

Brayshaw half good half awful. Which one is really him?

Jackson played a better game than Tomald has for 12 months. Promising stuff. Bennell and Kozzie also played really well up forward. 

So good to see Weed making a difference. 

And Langdon played like what Scully should’ve become. 
 

Speaking of Scully, best part was when a 200 kilo Italian ran away from him like he wasn’t there.

We've been building towards this kind of display. Can't wait until we do it against a good side. Next week hopefully. 

 

With Jackson do we actually have one of the few, true 'all rounder' type players.

If his tank is good enough he can run around with the midfield, kick some goals in the forward line and take some saving marks in defence. Similar to Gawn in a way, but more athletic and dynamic at ground level.

Exciting!!

Who are the other 4 above him out of interest? Can’t imagine any of them are bossing games like Trac is at the moment.

Two of them have only played 3 games.

Within 10 mins we stopped Hawthorn playing the way they wanted. Game over.

Agree. Which is why I am happy to praise the good work, but coaches must continue to highlight the poor decisions. The want to go back into traffic and create issues for himself and then dump a handball to relieve the pressure, which in turn puts another player under pressure. He has to cut it out of his game, but I will back him to do so, as it’s apparent he is working on it

Still want us to go and get Ross Lyon? ;)

Neale wasn't great this week. Still susceptible to a tag.

I could easily write about the performance of our Hollywood midfield.

But instead I am going to make special mention of Oscar McDonald. I've been incredibly hard on this kid but he's proved me wrong and making me eat humble pie. He's a complete different player and it's no coincidence that May and Lever are back to their best.

Well done Oscar, you've shut me up for good.

Kozzie and Jackson are going to be something else huh...

Good four quarter effort. That should be minimum expectation.

Well done Weiderman. Imposing performance.

Yeah just not inside the defensive 50 to Maxy when he is doing his shoelaces up.

The way he moves reminds me a lot of Bontempelli, though maybe that's the hair!


How good is it to have a real wing man that has a tank and is quick? And knows how to find space. 

I keep hearing about his poor kicking skills but I think he is alright. He was really important in the first half

Totally agree, it’s not out of his game yet, I’ve conceded that. He needs to continue to review it.

Ah me too I agree! But also I thought Clarry Choo Choo shut a few up on this forum up as well

2 Time B & F and ALL AUSTRALIANS dont grow on trees... especially at Melbourne!!

2-0 with Weid and OMac in the side
 

 

3-0 with Bennell

Bennell has never lost a regular season game in a Melbourne jumper.

Pathetic effort from Scully really. Didn't even try and catch him.

Scully is a Sqi..b Of the highest order Elite nobody!

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

  • PREGAME: Gold Coast

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
