     , Rosman roved well off the pack and snaps our first, followed quickly by a smart Farmer goal. 

    More of this please DZ  :)

    Gus a lot more involved this quarter, accumulating some possessions and delivering forward. Hasn’t moved from the centre corridor. 

    Petty going well, has taken a few intercept marks and read the play well. He’s on Schache and has only got away from Petty once this quarter.

    Is Laurie playing? saw mentioned he was warming up but haven't heard any mention of him in the game so far.

    Laurie started half forward and to be honest he hasn’t been involved a lot. Declase I haven’t noticed much either, I think he’s playing on the wing.

    Yes he's out there,  to be honest i hadn't noticed him but he's pretty short so blends in a bit. 

    Anyone know what number,  if they're playing,  Deakyn Smith and Declase are for those others that are here? Wouldn't know them if the bumped into me. 

     

    Pickett got involved a bit that quarter,  took on Johannisen twice with mixed results but looked busy.

    As mentioned by Dee Zephyr Petty took some very nice intercept marks down back against a decent opponent. 

    Ugle-haden went for a huge speccy on the members wing and in the excitement the umpires missed the push in the back he did to make it happen

    Declase is #45. Big unit with orange/yellow boots.

    Smith not sure, but they've been calling #40 "Deaks" so that could be him.

    Brayshaw said on his podcast thing with Max during the week that he'll only be playing a half, so don't think we'll be seeing any more of him today

    Haven’t seen Daw this half so far and he’s not on the bench,  possibly rested along with Gus as I didn’t notice he was sore or anything like that. 

    Score 85-21 and rain settling in.

    98-28 at the final break. Not much else to report, Petty solid all day, Kozzie still buzzing around. If this was the game to choose between Declase or Daw I’d be going Daw for a list spot. 

    Thanks for tuning in, I’m following Goody and Yze out the door.

    Final change scores 14.14.98 to 4.4.28

    Being completely outclassed here,  unsurprisingly.  

    Daw and Gus just played a half.  Pickett on the bench to start the last may also be done for the day. 

    Good to see the Wizard here to support his boy.

    Jesus, they did look to have a good side on paper, but I was not expecting a 100 point demolition.

    Well that’s it the bulldogs slaughted us 133 to 34 number 65 kicked the last goal disappointing day Pickett was rested in the last quarter Rosman played forward pocket would have preferred to see him on a wing like DeClasae was

    I ment Bradtke not Brantley

    As expected.  Injuries and AFL listed players rested.  Dogs have a full list right now. Somehow teams seem to go through the preseason with minimal injuries but others like the Demons have key players out even before round 1 starts.

    Other teams don't have the burden of the Norm Smith curse ...... no offense.

    Can someone give a player to player run down on how the fared yesterday?

    Cheers.

    The Dogs were on top all day but we did not stop trying it was a game played in our defensive half

     

    Declase  - played well given the Dogs were dominant, took at least 5 marks, has a long kick on him, only his first game so needs time to build confidence

    Kozzie - gun, excellent fitness and tremendous work ethic, tough, fast and athletically gifted, he can definitely play midfield, side steps, twists, just a ripper 

    Petty - great defensive game considering under the pump all day, plenty of intercept marks, will slot straight in if May and Lever need help, would prefer him play instead of Tomlinson

    Laurie - worked hard, got caught holding the ball trying to do a side step but didn't let it demoralised him, would like to see him play wing in the same game as Baker to get a read on who has more impact 

    Rosman - didn't have much impact but that could be because the ball was hardly ever kicked to him

    Angus - he was captain for the day, you can tell he is a tough, classy AFL level on baller

    Daw - did ok, big frame, reasonable fitness, didn't pluck any massive grabs, ok in the ruck

    Petty should play round 1, either back ahead of Tomlinson of forward instead of T mac.

    Kozzie is a lock.

    If Petty and Kozzy get through full games next weekend then they're absolute locks for round 1 imo.

    • GAMEDAY: Richmond

      It's Game Day and the Demons return to the MCG to face the Tigers in their annual Blockbuster on ANZAC Eve for the 10th time. The Dees will be desperate to reignite their stuttering 2025 campaign and claim just their second win of the season. Can the Demons dig deep and find that ANZAC Spirit to snatch back to back wins?

    • PREVIEW: Richmond

      A few years ago, the Melbourne Football Club produced a documentary about the decade in which it rose from its dystopic purgatory of regular thrashings to the euphoria of a premiership victory. That entire period could have been compressed in a fast motion version of the 2025 season to date as the Demons went from embarrassing basket case to glorious winner in an unexpected victory over the Dockers last Saturday. They transformed in a single week from a team that put in a pedestrian effort of predictably kicking the ball long down the line into attack that made a very ordinary Bombers outfit look like worldbeaters into a slick, fast moving side with urgency and a willingness to handball and create play with shorter kicks and by changing angles to generate an element of chaos that yielded six goals in each of the opening quarters against Freo.

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    • PREGAME: Richmond

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?
