Lever looking terrific. Seems to have put on some bulk too.

His first quarter was dreadful. 3 turnovers in a row. Did lift a lot in the second 

 

One thing I'm happy with is the new manning the mark rule doesn't seem to be an issue.

Originally I was annoyed as it was another rule change for the sake of it, but it has definitely increased the flow of the game.

Still dislike Hocking though....

 

What the hell is wrong with you people we are playing the premiers and are only down by 7 points.

    And one more thing - Harmes everywhere running his [censored] off - he's in our best three so far today - ignore other commentators.

    Not sure about best three, but he has been pretty good. As you say working hard and created a goal from nowhere with his effort and then good kick to Jones.

    Intersting that he is on ball.

    Really, you'd have to say if he can't get a game as a mid he doesn't have a spot given how out of sorts he looks down back.

    I can see how the rule allows for speeding up and opening up the game. My only concern is that I fear it will cost us a game at some point.

    Happy with Spargo keeping his feet, much stronger. happy with Harmes Lever and Tommy. not happy with Jones missing easy marking targets across ground. Too many observers only watching us, we aren’t too bad.

    From a very small sample, we seem to be adding an additional short link-kick with this new rule. Ie two smaller kicks to get back in the corridor instead of one slightly longer kick. I think that is smart given our turnover history 

     

    I think we can see a clear change in game plan. We are looking to go into the corridor far more than previous years. Whilst our disposal has been a bit off at times creating turnovers, it looks great when it comes off.

    If we can get a bit cleaner I think this bodes real well with our pace off the half back and wing.

    There ain't much to excited about. unfortunately. Jordon OK. Lever and May not bad. 

    Salem, Oliver and Petracca haven't  touched it. Gawn and Harmes turn it over.

    Trac and Oliver in the bounce and we win the clearance, then shot on goal. I’m truly shocked.

    We are not over using the ball and seem to be going quite direct.

    A few bombs into to forward line.

    Would like to see us change the angles as we move through the midfield.

    We are taking a few marks.

    The smalls are finding space.

    Too easy for Richmond as they come out of our forward area..

    the premiers missing four of their best side too - Rioli, Prestia, Lambert, Houli

    all injured or being rested? i know prestia has had hamstring issues this preseason, but no idea re others

    we're seven of our best 22 down - Melksham, Hibberd, Viney, Brayshaw, Brown, Weideman, Pickett

    and we're now a solitary point down after max gets a free and converts from 50


    Gawn starring today.

    Ripper mark and set shot for his second. Has taken plenty of goal saving marks too.

    Liking the look of Chandler. Held his own in a two on one, won the free kick, and nailed the pass to Fritsch in the pocket.

    If JFK had Fritsch’s hair he’d still be with us.

    Chandler is doing alright. 

    Could play round 1 based on today.

    Somewhere we’ve hit the front with a Fritta set shot.

      It's Game Day and the Demons have another opportunity to spoil another team's finals aspirations as they take on the Hawks at the MCG. What do you want to see from the boys today?

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

      The Dogs reigned supreme in 2018 with an inaugural AFLW premiership cup and the Demons matched this feat by winning the cup as the Season 7 2022 champions.Meggs wasn’t born when the Doggies won their first VFL premiership cup against the Demons in 1954. Covid prevented many Demons fans from legally witnessing the victorious 2021 AFL Grand Final cup performance between the Demons and the Bulldogs, but we all grin when remembering those magnificent seven third quarter goals.

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Hawthorn and Melbourne. Two teams with impressive form from last week but with seasons that are travelling on different trajectories meet in Saturday’s twilight game for what could well be the most intriguing contest of the AFL’s penultimate round. Sadly, the game has been relegated to that unappealing time slot in the weekend when Melburnians are typically preoccupied with activities other than football. It falls between the morning's shopping, afternoon sport and recreation, and Saturday night fever. A time usually reserved for relatively insignificant events but this one is not a nothingburger for either of the clubs or their fans.

    • AFLW: 2025 Season Preview

      Ten seasons. Eighteen teams. With the young talent pathway finally fully connected, Women’s Australian Rules football is building momentum and Season 2025 promises to be the best yet. In advance of Season 10, the AFL leadership has engaged in candid discussions with all clubs regarding strategies to boost attendance and expand fan bases. Concerningly, average attendances in 2024 were 2,660 fans per match, with the women’s game incurring an annual loss of approximately $50 million.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.
