Melksham and mcdonald letting us down

Well some absolute cracker jack stuff i've managed to pull out here.  Keeping in mind i take responsibility for none of these choices other than (maybe) the Wolf Blass yellow label during a moment of weakness?

1.  The renowned well aged 2017 "Frame Story" shiraz.   It at least states "wine of Australia" on the front so i'm reasonably confident it isn't an assassination attempt from the CCP or Kim il Jong.  Regardless i feel i could still end up 6 foot under cracking this one.

2.  A 2016 De Bertoli Siiraz - Grenache.  A tad more confident but still in it's infancy.

3.  A 2013 Wolf Blass Grey Label Shiraz.   Passable?

4.  A 2010 Wolf Blass Yellow Label.  As above?

Over to you!

Try the Grey label and throw the rest out!

If , however, we blow this lead, drink the lot

    Our tackling is a bit soft. Need to improve that. McDonald is trash.

    Fritsch is there to kick goals because he doesn't do much else

    Great start outside of the kicking for goal.  We have been all over them and look the better side.

    One thing that has been good is our efficiency inside 50.  We have looked dangerous every time it had gone in there.

    Tom Mcdonald is a nice kid but he's finished as an AFL player. Jones likewise.

    Go away McDonald and Jones, they are either not fit or passed it

    Why he keeps picking them I do not Know

    Tmac is poison at the moment, what's up with him?

    We gotta clean up these fumbles and Hollywood handballs.

    Big chance here. Just need to believe we can polish off our work and not be wimps in front of goal as always.

     

    Tmac is not afl standard. Has the turning circle of the Queen Mary and is avoiding contact

    Should be 5 goals plus.

    Sounding like a broken record but T Mac. Just wow. His clumsiness is so costly..

    We will probably regret that last 6 minutes

     

    We were all over them up to then

    Embarrassing to watch McDonald play. He moves in slow motion. It’s just so frustrating. 
    Melksham another player who is only getting a game coz he’s besties with Goodwin. Hannan gets dropped for doing about as much as Melksham every week.

    His play on the forward flank after Pickett booted the ball forward was cringeworthy.  He actually beat Moore to the ball and just put one hand out, as if he didn't want the contact.  He could have taken possession and made something of it.  It was terribly soft and reflective of where he is at as a footballer.

    We should be further in front. Really should have kicked 4 or 5 goals, Fritsch should have nailed his and the one where TMac had a snap we should have found a goal too.

    vandenBerg has already turned it over two or three times.

    TMac genuinely looks done.

    Petracca's having a poor game so far.

    Oliver dominant, Brayshaw playing well, defence holding up pretty well.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
