Just quietly, how good is Trent Rivers

Gun player, courageous, composed. Everything you want from the role he's playing.

    Could the 2019 draft end up being our best ever, Jackson, Kossie and Rivers. That draft could set us up for a decade!

    Much like last week, the gauntlet was thrown at us. And again, we took it and proceeded to belt the bejeesus out of our opposition with it. This time it was the reigning premiers no less. 

    Relentless.

    Bloodthirsty

    I currently live in Japan.

    I may not be allowed back into Australia after my questioning of Salo getting a 5 year contract. That was my worst observation on this board since I thought Neeld was the truthteller we needed.   ?

    He was bloody huge, and kept us afloat when the Tiges were coming at us in the first quarter.

    Melksham should be dropped. Can't think of a single positive contribution he made tonight.

    Haven’t looked at stats but I think Jordon played a very good game. Seemed to link well especially out of contests. 
    And as some one else mention Rivs was great.

    This may be too much information for some but post game I stood next to Jared Rivers at the urinal surrounded by Chip Frawley, Ricky P, and J Watts who yelled out time to cancel the ski trip gents.....was epic.

    Boys have had a few!!

    Great to see ex players still connected 

    That only makes the Club Stronger

    2019 draft.

    As painful as 2019 was to me it could be the down year we had to have given the three stars we picked up in the draft.

    We took control and maintained it.

    Great defensive line.

    Amazing effort.

    Good system, working together, knowledge of each others strengths, marking again, not many brain fades or unforced errors, matured play.

    Have we broken the Tiger? There backs are against the wall now. See if they are up to it this year when they play the dogs.

    They did look ordinary, lots of forced errors. Others have difficulty playing well against us. We have such a good press, and run with game.

    Aren't the players happy?

    Aren't the supporters happy?

    Stick to it Dees, it is a long season, and we are in a great place to belt it, (Hate to see us fall).

    Thanks MFC.

    That 31 must be Hardwick's relative. Plays just like him, a sniping thug.

    Anyone foresee TMac legitimately holding BBrown and Weideman out of the side before the season started? I wouldn’t change anything next week. This formula is winning. Leave it alone.

    One of the big two for Melksham.

    Nate Jones sticking up for Kozzie and ragdolling 3 Richmond scrubs at the same time gave me goosebumps

    Same! He was like the protective big brother. Love him so much.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front.  They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

      The Demons return to the MCG to take on the High Flying Hawks on Saturday Afternoon. Hawthorn will be aiming to consolidate a position in the Top 4 whilst the Dees will be looking to take a scalp and make it four wins in a row. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
