So that's a German W pronounced like a V?

We've already forgotten Jetta?

I don't know about Bowey yet

Jetta has not been in this  new group other than cameos and clearly sadly is past his best. Hibbo has until his recent drop been very good for the last 2 seasons and is fighting for his life to be part of it.

BTW that doesn't diminish Lord Nev's career which has just cycled earlier than this elite group at the moment. 

As for Bowey yes it's hard on a 2 time sample but any one with footy knowledge and feeling for the game couldn't have been more impressed with his debut so far. He has adapted to the pace of the game and looked composed clever and team orientated.

His debut has resembled Trent Rivers while Harry Petty took about half a dozen games to find his feet but now looks like replacing Tommo. 

Hunt is a pick especially  for his run and carry and we may miss this in the next month  from our defence but time will tell. This defence is undoubtedly still the cornerstone of our flag tilt along with our elite midfield.

It’s a question asking what in the living hell you were off on that tangent for after quoting what @Skuitsaid. He was referring to footy players providing pablum and you then veered off the highway and into the brush.

@dazzledavey36merely reacted like the rest of the traffic on the highway as you veered off amongst the trees and seemed to accelerate.

Hence the ‘wut’

And then vote for May should he ever enter politics. Candid. Honest. No spin

Pretty much rules him out of politics unfortunately

Jetty was my favourite  when he had to bash his body to pieces going 3rd in against the big forwards who were likely to kick 10 against  Oscar.

It's a pity his day has passed. 

I figure Hibberd won't be part of the back 6 for the ages either. 

Hunt can have a number of roles ,given he is one of the few genuine quicks in the 22.

But there is still room for a long term champion lock down back.

We’ve conceded the fewest points across the whole league this season. It already is a backline to remember.

Boom boom   I won't even correct it

I am going against my habitual doubts and suggesting it could be a backline that other teams  supporters remember in 5 years time!

He has come good after a shake start.

May,Lever,Rivers , Petty ,Salem..just need one more with run and with  a bit of muscle on Trent and its a backline we will remember.

Imagine just how good Petty and Rivers, and probably Bowey, will be in the future after playing under May and Lever fo 2-3 years.

  • GAMEDAY: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

    It's Game Day and the Demons are back on the road for their 3rd interstate game in 4 weeks as they face a fit and firing Crows at Adelaide Oval. With finals now out of our grasps what are you hoping from the Dees today?

  • WHAT’S NEXT? by The Oracle

    What’s next for a beleagured Melbourne Football Club down in form and confidence, facing  intense criticism and disapproval over some underwhelming recent performances and in the midst of a four game losing streak? Why, it’s Adelaide which boasts the best percentage in the AFL and has won six of its last seven games. The Crows are hot and not only that, the game is at the Adelaide Oval; yet another away fixture and the third in a row at a venue outside of Victoria. One of the problems the Demons have these days is that they rarely have the luxury of true home ground advantage, something they have enjoyed just once since mid April.

  • REPORT: Gold Coast

    From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

  • CASEY: Gold Coast

    Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

  • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

    The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.
