I think their window has now passed given their age demographic.  Cameron's choice of destination, given his age, is a very poor one imv.

Awesome ?

Sad to see Gary Jnr end his career. Best player I’ve ever seen. Best player in the league from 2007-2014. 2 Browlows. 5 time MVP. 8 time All Australian.

Congratulations Gary. Superstar!

Pity he chased money. He would have at least one more flag bid wager he’d have 4 medals. 
amazing player but why he went to Gold Coast in his prime only he can answer

$$$$$$ Cash ? 

 

Very hard to split Dangermouse, paul newman and Cotchin for the best free kick of the game competition.

But Jack won the best "look at me" award.....

He’ll regret it if he doesn’t already. Be a millionaire at the cats and win more flags or get more money at the suns and play in front of 5K fans

What struck me was the certainty hardwick had at half time that he had fixed the set up problems of the first half. Amazing. We are a mile off. Hope Yze and others can make a difference to our planning on the run.

 

We are loser club! I’m watching my brother celebrate 3 flags  & never buys a membership .. I’m a member for 23yrs I’m over it

I’d just like to thank the folks on here for pointing out that we passed on Dusty twice in the draft. 

I had no idea!

thanks guys, keep it up! ??

Yep and have a look at the list of players on that draft that were picked up after Gysberts and Tapscott

Mathews would be rubbed out of the game nowdays.

I didn't like Lee at all... but please inform me, which one of those highlights would have resulted in Lee being rubbed out?

No one is better than gaz , apart from maybe his father. I've never seen someone move across the field so easily with such amazing skill

You, good sir, are a loser supporter... I'm happy to lose you right now!

Hats off to the Tigers, who I hate with a passion. Their work as a club and a team over the past 5 seasons is amazing. They won tonight with betteer team play, winning significant moments, and having Dusty wandering around outclassing everyone.

Ablett jr: I put him up there with Matthews, Ablett snr, and Carey as the best players I have seen. And among this group, he is definitely the most complete. If you rated all the skills of th game, her would be 8.5+ for each of them. The others in my list rarely tackled, shepherded or did the defensive stuff. Ablett jnr did. Absolute star and footy is less for him leaving.

Dusty is a freak. His kicking skills are up there with Jarman and Trav Johnstone. His balance and ability to stay on his feet whether running, marking, being tackled are magical. just so strong over the footy.

On Dusty, I know a few people at Castlemaine FC (I grew up nearby) and I was talking to someone on the committee when Dusty was there. At 16yo, as training was finished, Dusty would be out there alone for another 1/2 half hour taking shots from all along the 50m arc, with both feet on the run and from set shot. They had to ask him to finish up to turn the lights out. At 17 you, he could beat many senior footballers one-on-one. Absolute gun - love watching him.

But bl***y hell, if we don't win flag soon I'm going to explode. So tired of seeing every other half-arsed club and player winning flags.

Anyone putting Dangerfield and Dusty in the same conversation need to stop. He is so far ahead. Danger had a poor game. Dusty loves the big stage

hawkins is another who choked. Marked close to goal and played on for a snap? Take your time and take  the pressure

I didnt not even look at his highlights. Are you suggesting highlights cover all his games. Gees I am over people here who want to argue the toss all the time.

Matthews was a vicious thug who played in an era that turned a blind eye to most of his work

Did you see that bloke wearing number 4 for Richmond?

 

Melbourne have to get mentally tough and the way to do it ???????   A preseason with the Tigers is the answer.

 


For those saying we passed on dusty, stop complaining. We didn't have any leadership back then like a cotchin to take under his wing and he would have left us years ago when we were a rabble. 

He would have got so frustrated with us.

Actually a loser 23 yr member that watches other supporters celebrate flags

I have to agree. As I said, I didn't like him, but the highlights stand!

Tragic. We are now at the stage where we think we did well by not taking the best player.

And which results would be most favourable for the Demons if we can manage to turn our season around?

  • 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?
