hey everyone

I am hanging for Monday, and I am thankful that the AFL have scheduled us to play the lowly Hawks at the MCG

If we win by less than 70 I will be surprised

All these key players were woeful in round 1

Bruce

TJ

Yze

Green

Bate

Miller

Jamar

Davey

That is 8 guys that would be raring to go and atone for their pathetic effort last week

I am calling this a big win to the Demons. I feel sorry for the Hawks backmen already. Neitz and Robbo will kick 12 between them. Geez I hoe Zac Dawson plays

Melbourne - 22.13.145

Hawthorn - 10.11.71

Goals - Neitz 7, Robertson 5, Davey 3, Bruce, Green 2, Miller, Jones, White

Best - Bruce, Miller, Johnstone, Neitz, Robertson, Carroll, Jones

GO DEMONS!!!!

Laughable..

Just who exactly is going to stop the Buddy Magic from happening?

Franklin is an overrated goose

He kicked 4 goals on MATTHEW WARNOCK in a PRACTICE MATCH and Hawks supporters creamed themselves

His marking ability for someone of his size is embarrassing

Rivers or Carroll will annihilate him.. Easily

It was actually Nathan Carroll for the bulk of it. Watch the replay...

Hawks by 30 on the back of Franklin's 6..

110 % agree :) :)

Carroll please take out Franklin

For me the dees win by between 70 to 100 pts

Neitz will kick 9 to 10 goals

Perhaps if you watch the replay you'll note that when Franklin kicked his goals, he was on Warnock...

I'm not quite as optimistic as YM however.

Correct

And in fact three of Franklins goals were a direct result of Melbourne defensive errors (not Carrolls'). I know that doesn't help the cause in arguing a Melbourne victory but lets not give Franklin too much credit. He would need a couple of Melbourne players to go down injured during the course of the game to kick 6.

If Melbourne got any sort of meaningful contribution from these 3, that would be a bonus.

As for Franklin, the guy can play. If he actaully was able to mark above his head, he would be in the elite of the AFL. As it is now, he is just a very good player who can be very dangerous on his day.

Melbourne to win by 36 points.

This might sound odd but as long as we play a better brand of footy i'm happy. If we play an aggresive, attacking, running game and get it to our forwards quick, and lose, i'll cop it sweet.

If we chip it around and lose i'll give up.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players.

Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE
