Time to get Jordan Lewis into the coaching role.

Made one really bad mistake, but other than that was ok

Thanks Joeboy.  I look forward to this each week.

Agreed. Great 66 word game summary.

I didn't think he was at his worst, but there were a couple of turnovers that didn't help - the no look handpass to Grundy for the goal wasn't great but nor did he drop his head either. Our backline is just looking really solid right now.

Wouldn’t listen to Garry Lyon to much, we have to win by over a hundred points for him to give us any credit

Agree.  Lever was average. Good spoils. One good mark. One missed tackle.  Two bad turnovers that cost goals.   Had a good last 3 weeks but today was “not his best”

I agree with all except Jones.  He had a good game.  Effective with the footy.  Tackled hard.  Noble and Daicos won’t be saying he is slow.  

Yeah I liked them all but I thought Jones made some real important contributions at times.

Jones is not slow just old, he has never been slow, it's a known fact every demon player is 29% slower then the average AFL player.


Brayshaw - works effectively attacking

Salem - possessions more favourable

Langdon - keeps getting better

Petracca - much improvement left

Oliver - same as traktor

May - heart in mouth

Fritsch - 'looks' very good

Viney - same as usual

Hibberd - never sure what

Preuss - market value doubled

Melksham - better than Hannon???

Lockhart - continues to impress

vandenBerg - very courageous player

Jones - 8 to go

Weideman  - structurally important now

Harmes - just not sure

Spargo - continues to surprise

Tomlinson - goodness gracious me

Sparrow - 27 . . . good get

McDonald - market value halving

Lever - some big questions

Pickett - please don't drop

MFC - Nice century score.

Weid - Kick to me.

Preuss - No more lumbering.

TMac - One good goal.

Pickett - Busy little bee.

Trac - Watch my goal.

Vanders - Watch out boys.

Gus - Seen the light.

Spargo - Wind him up. (And watch him go).

Oliver - Hitting the targets.

Jones - years best game

Harmes - is really struggling

Lever - Had a shocker.

Only one to have a shocker mind you.

Expectations give him a key role on the backline, demanding a larger territory in which to intercept and dispose of the ball. He is not as strong in such roles; he needs to start off in the back pocket/half back flank area where the range of the roaming role is more constrained; thus, his interceptions and run-on to play (as a play maker) can be done without interim periods of exhaustion or late arrival,  getting to the contest and/or reading the play as a more defenders concentrate at the location of the incoming ball. Ping! He's there, he's got the ball, he has disposed of the ball, he is reading ongoing play as he returns back to his 'nest'. Reduce the area of responsibility, increase the effectiveness of his disposal and his chipping-in to the turnover. 

Tomlinson reminds me of a Neeld-era player. Can't see it.

  • Thank You Simon Goodwin

    As Demon fans, we’ve ridden a rollercoaster of emotions over the decades; the heartbreaks, the near misses, the wooden spoons, and the endless waiting. But through it all, we clung to hope. And then came Simon Goodwin. Before he ever wore red and blue, he was a champion in his own right. A five-time All-Australian, two-time Best and Fairest, and two-time premiership hero and Captain with Adelaide, Simon Goodwin was always destined to lead. When he transitioned from the field to the coach's box, first as an assistant at Essendon, he began shaping a new legacy.

  • PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

    Long ago and far away, the Melbourne Football Club replaced its coach in difficult circumstances after the team suffered a devastating loss. In the aftermath, I penned the following words: “Then came the politics, the intrigue, the axing, the sound of the football world laughing at a club, the circling of the media vultures, the reinvention of history, the anger, the irony, the pathos, the hurt on the face of the president, the dignified departure of the coach, and the determination of the newly appointed caretaker.” Today, we’re back in the same place although one difference here is that the coach who was terminated this time is Simon Goodwin, the man who four years ago

  • REPORT: West Coast

    The Charles Dickens novel, A Tale of Two Cities, opens with, “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, …”  This phrase highlights many of the significant challenges that humanity encounters in life, ranging from experiencing remarkable highs to living in times of despair. This is a concept that should resonate with all supporters of the Melbourne Football Club this morning as they reflect on its comprehensive 83-point victory over the struggling West Coast Eagles at Marvel Stadium. The outcome proved beyond doubt that they are the worst of clubs and that we are the best of the worst.

    With only 3 games to go, all against Top 8 fancies, the Demons face a daunting task as they return to the MCG when they play the Western Bulldogs. Who comes in and who goes out?

    The Demons return to town fresh off a thumping win over the back-to-back wooden spooners, the West Coast Eagles, played in front of a sparse crowd at Marvel Stadium, the same venue that hosted last week's heartbreaking loss.
