TMac two quick goals. That’s kept us in it here. If we keep the pressure up we’ll win. It’s all down to hunger now boys. Dig in and get the job done!

We're on top here

Just poor kicking again.

2g5b to 2g2b

 

Should be miles in front

Have to watch out for the hometown umpiring on the run home

And a failed fend-off. Very lucky he was on the boundary line and stepped over it

We were outplayed for 2/3 of that quarter but we still outscored them. 

Great work Dees. Stay strong - 1Q to go.

Lucky end to the quarter.

We were outplayed and a little flat for most of that quarter so should have plenty in the tank to run over them now.

Thought Brown had a good QTR (and good game overall). Hasn't kicked a bag, I didn't think he would, but he's been present, in the right spots and delivered well into the 50. I reckon he'll sink one in Q4. A confidence building game so far.

We’ve extended our lead each quarter.

Time to step on the windpipe and smother the breath out of them.

Decent sized Dees crowd behind the goals. ❤️?

Rhetorical question - answer is easy. Port player at Adelaide Oval.

Good 2nd half of that quarter. We got back into it. That Langdon point hurt but luckily McDonald kicked a nice goal. 

We have led all night and at times comfortably. Now is not the time to drop it. 

Just need to take our opportunities and continue to attack.

Petty has been great tonight

It was his opposite foot. That being said, it sounded rushed anyway. Mid week I was thinking why would they. I think it’s unlucky and not related, but still a valid question.

Peps Pig caught with the ball - no free. 

Holding the ball every day of the week! Pick up put out the don’t argue then spin into another tackle and handball over the line, yeah throw it in. Unbelievable.

Umps saw the free kick count at halftime and have evened up the ledger.

So now they can give them the dodgy ones in front of goal.

As an aside, where was the ‘What they are saying down at Alberton’ thread this week?

How many players can Powell Pepper take on?

Two and then handball deliberately over the line and no frees at all.  There are diff rules for this mob or whistle just gets put away with the obvious stuff on their side much of the time.

Gawny works Lycett off the ball in the ruck contest straight after but apparently you're not allowed to be strong in the contest!

    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

    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. The Demons will take on the Kangaroos in match simulation play, starting from 10am AEDT and broadcast live on Foxtel and Kayo. The play start time was brought forward from the initial 11am bounce, due to the high temperatures forecast.  The match sim will consist of four 25-minute qu
