He's really got the yips. He's Ian Baker-Fritsch.

Every year, I end up with post-of-the-year. I now have it. This is pure gold. For me and my household, this nickname will now stick (unless he fixes his goal kicking).

    I wouldn't be getting too excited just yet.

    We should be far more than 28 points up. They are absolutely atrocious. But they are a confidence team and despite their defensive pressure being terrible they're still generating inside 50s and getting some looks. If they get an early goal or two, or worse, if Daniher gets his hands on the ball, we know we can concede goals.

    Fritsch's goal kicking is getting worse.

    Gawn, Oliver, Petracca, Langdon, Salem and ANB all playing really well.

    If this is our last game, Hunt, Brown and ANB are giving the club something to think about.

    our third quarters are statistically our worst

    Joe Daniher 0/0/0/0/0

    His value taking a huge hit.

    Sam Weideman handballing to Jayden Hunt for the certain goal is one of the best things I've seen in recent weeks. Weed hasn't kicked a goal in a long time and didn't need to give it. Much respect. 

    It was a selfless percentage play for sure - a tougher kick on the run on his right foot at that angle vs Hunt in perfect location - my heart was in my mouth from Weid's heavily weighted handpass but can't complain about the result!

    And probably their best

    Needs to talk to a psychologist, he is obviously pressuring/stressing, himself into poor kicking. It is a confidence issue.

    Really needs to fix this.

    For his size, he does very well in marking contests.

    How good was Oliver's second quarter? Sure, the Essendon midfield is laughable, but he is close to unstoppable when he takes the game on. Still my favourite player. Sorry Trac. ?

    Has anyone ever missed finals with a percentage of 109% ?

    How many first round picks can we give them for him? Too soon?

     Well probably give it to Collingwood for another of their potatoes.

    The Nibbler is nibbling  sign him up for another 2 years.     That will make his critics SMILE !

    Watch Daniher end up at the Giants. Cameron to Carlton.

    Need to be professional in the 3rd to kill any hope for the Bombers. They are in horrible form but can pile on a few quick.


    Midfield is dominant but Salem is in the top 3 on the ground.

    Terrible option Weideman, the exact opposite of what we need going inside 50.

    Basic mistakes again and again.

    Dons putting zero pressure on our mids. They are a rabble. Woosha's legacy tarnished. 

    Reckon there will be a conga line waiting to leave. 

    Welcome to Melbourne, Adam Saad!

    He got to close to man on mark so had to kick under it. Didn’t look good kicking to 2:1 with one being spargo

    That blonde umpire is probably one of the worst I have ever seen. No understanding of how a game plays out, no sense of occasion, just completely clueless. We’ve had more of our share of him this year.

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      Not long ago, the narrative surrounding Melbourne was steeped in pessimism. There was some concern among the pundits (and even some fans) that the club would arrive at the AFL’s Gather Round still winless, vulnerable to a familiar adversary in the Essendon Football Club, and facing significant scrutiny from an ever-critical media on a national stage. Things have changed.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      Steven King astutely identified the issues that had plagued the Melbourne Football Club over the past two and a half seasons when he auditioned for the newly created coaching role. The side that had claimed the 2021 premiership had become stodgy, slow-paced, and hesitant to take the initiative.

      Gather Round is upon us and the Demons face off against the Bombers who are on a 17 game losing streak. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons put four quarters of hard contested, fast running and high pressure football to knock off the ladder leaders and early premiership contenders the Gold Suns by 20 points at the MCG on Easter Sunday.

    • PODCAST: Gold Coast

      I’ll be away for the next few weeks, so Binman will be holding the fort for our podcasts covering the Suns, Bombers and Lions matches. As a result, there will be no live podcasts during this period, and we won’t be taking calls or voicemails. Binman will still be dipping into this thread to select a few questions to answer, while also combining the long-form Stats Files podcast with the Demonland Podcast for these shows. Your questions and comments are a huge part of what makes the podcast work, so please post anything you’d like to ask or say below and we’ll do our best to give you a shout-out on the show. Please try to keep each post focused on one specific topic or player to make podcast preparation a little easier. If you have multiple topics you’d like to raise, please put them in separate posts.
