Hes a good young player is our Jordan.

He moves like a young version of Aussie basketball legend Andrew Gays,  and Melbourne supporters will be hoping he can own the wing like Demon great Robbie Fowler.

    Sam Weideman, at various times, has been called Wiedeman, Weiderman and Weidemann.  

    The gold medal however goes to the unfortunate and unnamed poster who spelled it as Wiedermann, thus getting it wrong three different ways in one go.

    The original Weidemans may well have been Weidemanns. And everybody who wishes to be pedantic about this ought to be advised that Weideman is pronounced WAYDEMAN in German, or, to be perfectly correct Waydeman with a soft A, as in un-lock....

    Hey Dieter, if i can remember my German correctly - and I may not - i thought all German W's were pronounced as V's. So pronounced Vaydeman?

    Nietschke, Fritsch and Bradtke I've noticed for some are hard to get right. Ironically Jordon is wearing number '23' which was made famous by Michael Jordan.

    • PREVIEW: North Melbourne

      Can you believe it? After a long period of years over which Melbourne has dominated in matches against North Melbourne, the Demons are looking down the barrel at two defeats at the hands of the Kangaroos in the same season. And if that eventuates, it will come hot on the heels of an identical result against the Gold Coast Suns. How have the might fallen? There is a slight difference in that North Melbourne are not yet in the same place as Gold Coast. Like Melbourne, they are currently situated in the lower half of the ladder and though they did achieve a significant upset when the teams met earlier in the season, their subsequent form has been equally unimpressive and inconsistent.

    • REPORT: Adelaide

      The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.

    • CASEY: Coburg

      The Casey Demons returned to their home ground which was once a graveyard for opposing teams but they managed to gift the four points on offer to Coburg with yet another of their trademark displays of inaccuracy in front of goals and some undisciplined football that earned the displeasure of the umpires late in the game. The home team was welcomed by a small crowd at Casey Fields and looked right at home as it dominated the first three quarters and led for all bar the last five minutes of the game. In the end, they came away with nothing, despite winning everywhere but on the scoreboard and the free kick count.

    • PREGAME: Rd 18 vs North Melbourne

      After four weeks on the road the Demons make their long awaited return to the MCG next Sunday to play in a classic late season dead rubber against the North Melbourne Kangaroos. Who comes in and who comes out?

    • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.
