He looks so composed. Love his game.

Bowey's smart handball, bouncing it below some other players and straight into the recipient's arms was beautiful. Can't remember to whom and when sorry.

Love Harmes, but boy, gee, wow, selfish.

Petty has started to become much more comfortable in taking the game on.

He was very hesitant for a while there and made a lot of mistakes but his last 2 or 3 games have been outstanding.

    And to think he would have been still at Casey but for an injury.

    Good to see your in better spirits old dee???

    In the search for better spirits than the one my wife bought me (Johnny Walker), I lashed out to buy my clan scotch, Talisker, and it sits staring at me to break the seal. It will have to wait until finals time and then, it's another empty bottle for the rubbish recycling. This should be a tempting September ...

    Hell open it now and buy another one come  September.

    Another pleasing aspect of Dogga’s career best performance yesterday was playing opposite Rowell and Anderson pick 1&2 from the 2019 draft . Really glad the AFL shafted us by handing GC a priority pick and we got LJ at Pick 3 instead , that being said I’m sure those other two will go alright in their careers too. But very happy LJ had a day out yesterday

    It would no longer be so special to me if I did that on the spur, old dee. It was procured for the purposes of equal pleasure - as absolutely very special - when the Demons hit the finals series and clear out some of the trash that appears alongside us in the top eight. I dream of the uninterfered-with games ahead when the AFL/umpires cannot disadvantage us as they have across several years now, establishing before the first bounce the outcomes of games competed with open hearts and integrity. 

    Rest assured, the seal will be broken to celebrate key aspects of the coming weeks.  :-)

    A point of some notability raised here, Delusional D. Well done.

    Ideal preparation for an AFL game.

    I expect WC has a similar preparation since they've been in Melbourne too.

    I think they get to quarantine at home, which is a bit better than doing it at a hotel surrounded by your work colleagues for 7 days straight. But nevertheless, we both have to travel to Perth so it does even out.

    I've mentioned this before but yesterday was just more evidence that the Suns are a soulless, pathetic waste of time and money. The sooner the AFL pull the plug on this doomed experiment the better. They are just throwing good money after bad

    You can say the same thing about GWS. A list literally bursting with talent that can't be bothered to even make finals. 

    Absolutely woeful both of these clubs. And the fact that they are manufactured soulless franchises means nobody cares if they win or lose and there is no heat on them or any accountability to improve.

    They are just sucking talents out of a limited pool of juniors. Drop them both and put a team in Tassie and they will have more signed up members in the first week.

    Things I took away from the game:

    1. Bowey is going to be so crucial to our team in the next few years (his hands are so clean) 

    2. Sparrow needs to work on his fundamentals 

    3. Oliver is actually insanely good and needs more credit for what he does (if he can hit the scoreboard more I will have so much more confidence in him taking us to a flag)

    4. Harmes and Viney both need to stop thinking they're Chris Judd - play within your limitations, please

    A real positive from the games two changes are that it put the whole team on notice. No one wants to miss selection for finals.

    Bowey's first up was good.

    When u get to your next bottle Deemania I would definitely recommend you try the belvanie doublewood, it’s a lot smoother than a talisker (not that’s there’s anything wrong with a peaty talisker btw) and goes down very nicely while perusing the post match thread on DL after a night game dees win. 
     

    To be enjoyed all season long , especially during lockdowns

    Just finished watching the game. Very impressed by Demon intensity but...:

    - Harmes and Viney need to learn to play within their limits. It may be too late for Viney...

    - Sparrow seems to be playing without confidence. I guess that might be a corollary of having to prove yourself every game.

    I'll add Mortlach 14yo, truly marvellous drop. Dufftown should be a very proud town...

    • PREVIEW: Richmond

      A few years ago, the Melbourne Football Club produced a documentary about the decade in which it rose from its dystopic purgatory of regular thrashings to the euphoria of a premiership victory. That entire period could have been compressed in a fast motion version of the 2025 season to date as the Demons went from embarrassing basket case to glorious winner in an unexpected victory over the Dockers last Saturday. They transformed in a single week from a team that put in a pedestrian effort of predictably kicking the ball long down the line into attack that made a very ordinary Bombers outfit look like worldbeaters into a slick, fast moving side with urgency and a willingness to handball and create play with shorter kicks and by changing angles to generate an element of chaos that yielded six goals in each of the opening quarters against Freo.

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    • PREGAME: Richmond

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?
