Good finish but what I’m most happy about was seeing Gussy in the guts and winning the clearance immediately. Look out Harmesy

Ā 

Exactly what we needed. They pushed us enough to get a good hit out but we looked like we had a couple ofĀ Ā gears if we needed them. No injuries and the semblance of aĀ functioning forward line. Clarry’s kicking and Brayshaw’s limited impact the only concerns. Well played number 31, number 5 and number 6 (again).Ā Ā 

Kick Straight and the job becomes so much easierĀ 

Practice this week ChocoĀ 

Get them kicking sweetly

Hardly touched it in the first quarter, that was up there in Farmer 2000 vs Collingwood territory!

Give that bloke space and its at your own expense.

Great win challenged early thought here we go again but ended up winning comfortably. Fritsch brilliant 7 and Gawn was great as usual.

We have waited through a lot of crap for this SWYLĀ Ā 

Funny old win. Pretty good shape going into finals (at least physically)Ā which might dependingĀ on Dogs v Port on Friday, begin next week. Only change I’d make is Viney for Sparrow, May for Smith (great work Joel), andĀ Tmac for Fritsch.Ā 

Let’s tryĀ this again.

To the people who feel the need to comment on how negative the gameday thread is. Yeah, ya don’t say.

Gameday threads are full of venting. Some of it mindless. Some of it ridiculous. Always have been. Always will be.

IfĀ you can’t accept that, just don’t open them. Easy. Casting judgement on them just makes you look like a turnip.

And if you really want a gameday safe space full of sunshineĀ and rainbows, go nuts. Just keep your ā€œgee this place is soĀ negativeā€ drivel out of the gameday threads. It’sĀ an emotional game.Ā

Bayley Fritsch, take a bow!

Take his final three goals out of the equation and I think he still had a career best day. Was chasing and tackling all afternoon.


Probably the least invested I've been in a game since 2019 but plenty to take from it.

The Gawn/Jackson combination at the moment is just poetry. Most sides would kill for one player of that quality.

Fritsch is going to be hard to ignore for AA based on this performance. Kicks goals in his sleep.

Still a lot to work on. I'm not totally convinced by the form of Sparrow and Jordan. As frustrating as Viney can be, I think he clearly offers more at present and will be straight in for one of then. I also like Melksham and have him as an "In" for the finals but that free kick he gave away was disgraceful.Ā

That game felt exactly like a game where the result didn't matter. We didn't get out of second gear it felt like.

You're right. And hardly anybody bothered to attend, either.

Junk time is now officially Fritsch time.

I really liked our last quarter. Aside from a bit of cream at the end I thought we set up very nicely behind the ball to defend the game for most of theĀ quarter.

Our boys are looking the goods. TMac, Viney and May to come back in. Big week on the track. I’m a very happy Dees fan tonight.

Did the job - turned the corner for the home straight.Ā  Here we go...

It's a simple solution as you say don't open the thread.

Our backline did look fairly shaky in parts, Steven May is clearly an incredibly important cog in the backline system.Ā 

I thought Petty was outstanding, his trajectory of improvement this year has been quite phenomenal, deserves any and all credit he gets.Ā 

and the Crustless quiche strikes again!!Ā

Wut?

Good hitĀ out really.

Still things to work on and I’m certain we can go up a gear.

The Fritsch magnet!!

As our leading scorer for the year its great to see Fritta get a bag again a week before finals.

Get well soon our second.

  • NON-MFC: Round 15

    As the Demons head into their Bye Round, it's time to turn our attention to the other matches being played. Which teams are you tipping this week? And which results would be most favourable for the Demons if we can manage to turn our season around?

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologistĀ  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmedĀ the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).Ā

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

  • PREGAME: Gold Coast

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
