Cant wait until we have 2 big marking forwards down there....

That’s the key. We just have to win ugly at the moment

Defensively we are playing very well. Backline superb. I know they are missing a lot of their forwards, but so are we.

Lever and May are killing it. Great to see TMac playing well.

So much for Harmes huge preseason. He has been jogging anytime he has to chase.

Our mids are still getting sucked in and Freo are getting it on the outside

Still a pretty rusty game. Feel like we are just lethargic at times.

It is extremely hot.

Oliver needs to kick faster, over playing it and its putting pressure on others and himself.

Couldn't agree more.  Needs to get first option away quickly once he finds space.  Playing as if there's no opponent out there at the moment and lairising a bit too much

Lesser lights standing tall. Like the forward pressure from Spargo, ANB  etc. Key backs great again.

Should be six goals up though.

There are a few doing it. Rivers has overused the handball a few times.

Same old same old. Still too many players who just aren't reliable when the ball comes near them. Hunt, Harmes, Tomlinson etc. Jetta off the pace.

Clayton Oliver - surprised to see he'd had 18 possessions. Needs to do more damage.

And on today's performance, I'd be playing Daw (if fit?) over Jackson, who just looks a bit lost.

Probably take a few games for most to reach full match fitness with the longer quarters and run off a few excess gym kilos of muscle (for some).

May with 500 meters gained to half time!  Has to be a record in there somewhere surely

    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

    Join us LIVE on Monday night at 8:30pm—note that this special time is just for this week due to prior commitments. We'll break down the Match SIM against North Melbourne and wrap up the preseason with insights into training and our latest recruits.

    GAMEDAY: Match SIM vs North Melbourne

    After an agonizingly long off-season the 2025 AFL Premiership Season is almost upon us and the Demons have their first practice hit out against the Kangaroos in a match simulation out at Arden Street.
