    Who’s Dean Terlich? Never heard of him lol.

    Stoked for Hunty though, do miss him but glad he’s valued out West.

    Dean Terlich was one of those players plucked from nowhere who had noticeable limitations, but gave his all every time he pulled on the jumper. Certainly didn't die wondering and gave it his best crack.

    Congrats to Hunty and feel for him having to end up at WC but I reckon I could have come top 10 in the WC b&f

    Prescient!

    I’d love to claim credit for my top 5 B&F call for Hunty back in June, but as long as an Eagles player was upright and available week in week out, then he’d be a fair chance for top 5.

    Where else was he gonna go? My point is he didn’t wanna leave us.

    He had other options. West Coast gave him a three year deal I believe.

    And you're right, He didn't want to leave.

    There is a few players doing well that we've lost that wouldn't get a game with us, that are going well else-where.

    Hunt, Bedford, McInerney, Weideman,....one or two others, that I can't think of.

    It shows how deep our list has been in recent years.

    On ya Hunt! better to play for WC than Casey. if we had of kept him i couldn’t imagine he would have played more than 2-3 games. He just never showed the consistency. 

    He could very well reinvent himself though. WC have to improve and i’d love to see him develop further

    It was a good move for Jayden in regards to more game time but nothing else.

    Well done mate!

    If I’m watching footy and it’s a non Demons game I barrack for the following players:

    Jayden
    Jesse Hogan
    Toby Bedford

    Those 3 always gave everything for us. Jayden’s story is well documented here, Jesse had far too much to deal with personally before he turned 23, and Toby had a frustrating few seasons of limited chances with us, and has been great this year.

    I have a ‘mafia’ mentality with certain players. If you gave your all for the family then the only way out of the family is in a pine box.

    It’s a bit of a stretch to describe Oscar McInerney as a player we lost; he was never Melbourne listed and he spent most of his time at Casey kicking around in the twos.

    I disagree re inconsistency as he played 40 games in his last 2 years with us.

    But I do agree re less games if he stayed - he would have lost games this year to McVee.

    You’ll like the story about Howe in todays Age then Jaded. Him waffling on about how he wasn’t getting the best out of himself at Melbourne and needed a change.

    He left us for better money at a bigger club. He left us when we were struggling - after we plucked him from obscurity and gave him every opportunity. He can dress it up however he wants, but we all know the truth.

    Weideman?!?!?! We have very different interpretations of what doing well means.

    Essendon forums havent exactly been complimentary when Weidemans name pops up. Liked him early on then fizzled out. Everyone knew it would happen. Next year make or break for him.

    Hunt  Hogan and Bedford doing well but we've done better from the trades.

    Thought this might be a reasonable place to acknowledge and congratulate Jayden Hunt on his 4th placing in the WC B&F.

    Although the current state of the Eagles list somewhat tempers the achievement, I still think it's a good effort from Jayden to be a consistently good performer in a struggling side.

    Jayden certainly gave the impression that he was a pretty solid citizen  at the MFC and I'm guessing his contribution to WC will likely go beyond his 4th B&F on feild placing.

    Shows how far the MFC has come in the past 5 years, when we were the ones recycling excess tallent and experience from the lists of others, where we have now become an exporter of such tallent ourselves, with Hunt, Baker, Bedford, Jackson and to an extent Weiderman.

    You could tell in those final games lasy year how much success he wanted with the dees. Was seriously desperate in trying to win the ball. Wish Jackson played with as much heart in the end. He looked like he was out the door.

    He got games....which he wouldn't have with us.

    He started ok, then went back to his usual poor form.

    I ribbed my Bomber mates about them giving him John Coleman's number!!

    • PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      With both sides precariously positioned ahead of the run home to the finals, only one team involved in Sunday’s clash at the Adelaide Oval between the Power and the Demons will remain a contender when it’s over.  On current form, that one team has to be Melbourne which narrowly missed out on defeating the competition’s power house Collingwood on King's Birthday and also recently overpowered both 2024 Grand Finalists. Conversely, Port Adelaide snapped out of a four-game losing streak with a win against the Giants in Canberra. Although they will be rejuvenated following that victory, their performances during that run of losses were sub par and resulted in some embarrassing blow out defeats.

      Round 14 is upon us and there's plenty at stake across the rest of the competition. As Melbourne heads to Adelaide, it's time to turn our attention to the other matches of the Round. Which teams are you tipping this week? And which results would be most favourable for the Demons’ finals tilt?

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

    • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Collingwood

      Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.
