Interesting free against max there right at the end of the QTR , sounds like the umps are going to call him for the "straight arm block" again

Can someone shed some light how there was no 50m penalty paid when Jones (StK) was [censored] around and not getting off the ball??

Absolute [censored] take, it was no different to what Fritsch did and he was penalised 50m.

That quarter turned when we got on top in the middle.

We clearly have the ability to move the ball and find scoring options against their defence. Need to stay on top in the middle.

4 goals from 4 set shots.

Great start from the Dees!

Not bad from 3 less inside 50s.? Guess Tracs 70 m goal doesnt count.

Ominous sign right on 1/4 time.

Max pinged for the ridiculous straight arm rubbish they crucify him with. Him and only him

Weren't we playing the Saints the last time they pulled the rubbish on him?

Colour of the jumper only plausible explanation.

Which team is coming out for the second quarter? That is always the worry. We are obviously prone to the Saints leg speed and quick ball movement so we have to maintain the intensity. Here is hoping!

Easy fix  -  run and jump at the ball and tap to advantage 

He'll adjust

That's what I thought - the game we ended up losing by 2 pts? Many dubious 50s in that game too

We were down 0-3 and then 3-6 in clearances but finished the quarter 8-8. 

The midfield battle is crucial.

We had Jones on a wing at one stage, which isn't my ideal wing line up.

 Time for Ratten to make a few adjustments and shut us down.

Need more from Gus and Oliver. They both had stinkers last week. Need to lift. 

Slighty harsh on Oliver.  Had 7 touches and 3 clearances that term.

Agree with Gus.  Viney only the 1 touch as well.

    HIGHLIGHTS/LOWLIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Melbourne traveled across the continent to take on the Fremantle Dockers in sweltering conditions at Mandurah south of Perth in a game that delivered the club both its highlight and its lowlight in the first minute.  But first, let’s start by doing away with the usual cliches used in connection with the game. It was just a practice match and the result didn’t matter. Bad kicking is bad football. The game was played in severe heat, the swirly breeze played havoc with both teams resulting in

    TRAINING: Friday 28th February 2025

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers headed down to Gosch's Paddock to bring you their observations from today's training session before the Demons head off to Perth for their final Practice Match. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Beautiful morning, not much wind, more than a couple of dozen spectators.  The players were up and about, boisterous and having fun.

    THE ACCIDENTAL DEMONS by The Oracle

    In the space of eight days, the Melbourne Football Club’s plans for the coming year were turned upside down by two season-ending injuries to players who were contending strongly for places in its opening round match against the GWS Giants. Shane McAdam was first player to go down with injury when he ruptured an Achilles tendon at Friday afternoon training, a week before the cut-off date for the AFL’s pre-season supplemental selection period (“SSP”). McAdam was beginning to get some real mom

    RETURN TO NORMAL by Whispering Jack

    One of my prized possessions is a framed, autographed guernsey bearing the number 31 worn by my childhood hero, Melbourne’s champion six time premiership player Ronald Dale Barassi who passed away on 16 September 2023, aged 87. The former captain who went on to a successful coaching career, mainly with other clubs, came back to the fold in his later years as a staunch Demon supporter who often sat across the way from me in the Northern Stand of the MCG cheering on the team. Barassi died the
