Credit where credit is due, the suns are giving it everything and pushing us. The key for them will be maintaining this intensity whilst cleaning up their disposals and decision making.

Trac, Oliver and Jackson look too much for them to handle though. 

Yeah I mean the Suns are going at 100% we are at 50%. If we can even it up and get more players involved that will be good.

Rivers knee still not 100%, Gussy hurt his shoulder in that spinorama collision and Smith has hurt fingers on his “good” hand… looks like the injury luck has deserted us.

The make shift defence is holding up well, midfield was slow to start and the fwds not quite able to hold the ball in as needed to keep the pressure on, great goal kicking though.

Can’t wait to see how we “muscle up” this last half.

Hunt having a mare. Needs to regroup and refocus

Feels that way…is he playing a specific role on someone??

Difficult to watch.

A few having a real crack, but almost the entire 22 very fumbly. And those kick around the corner to 3 Suns players is just so frustrating; we haven't seen that ina fair while and it is horrible to see again.

Jackson, Trac, Bowey, Tomlinson, Brayshaw.

Rivers should not be playing. His kicking which is usually so penetrating has been horrendous. Langdon running but not getting. Fritsch not going for balls with his name on it. And Suns players waltzing free through the middle time and time again.

If they had King, we would be well behind.

Bowey excellent 

Bowey our best and to end the arguement now he gets more hard balls than Caleb Daniel would get in a season. Just sayin

I'm incredibly relaxed. IMHO It's all just good prac for our defence.

Meanwhile Bowey on target for a Rising Star nom.

Hoping Brown gets a few more.

Multi of mel/oliver/brown/bowey is on the table!

No one outside our club will ever talk about bowey, or realise just how much we appreciate him. But he is very reliable.

Sensational Bowey first half.

If we have Lever and Salem we would be 6 goals up. Both can play that game. 
We are running on fumes down back. It’s a makeshift defense with now 2 players who are clearly struggling with injuries. I hope Gus hasn’t hurt his shoulder and is just sore and bruised.

Very true. Still winning with quiet performances from a lot of the team.

Hoping his development may free up Riv to have a crack in the midfield over the next few years

Tracc and Jacko changed the game and Bowey is so smart with ball in hand.!!

Langdon not himself.

 Viney and Fritta doing little.

Spargo and Kozzie and Hunt likewise.

Get them going and all will be fine.

Need more space up forward.

Derm has an amazing ability to read the players minds and tell us exactly what they’re thinking. 

Hey, he was a player from 25 years ago, how could he not know the minds of modern day players.

Yeah, fair enough. Our backline is showing its limitations due to personnel and May is being well beaten most of the time. Although Tomlinson is doing ok, he is being found out in the air.

He's had 18 disposals in the first half and running at 89% disposal efficiency and 307m gained for a half. 

He won't get a rising star this week because he's not a sexy Josh Rochelle or Nick Daicos type.

    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

    GAMEDAY: Match SIM vs North Melbourne

    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
