Martin Pike says hello!

The Pike and Love Shack situations are barely in the same suburb, let alone ball park.

    Its a long season and I very much doubt TMac and BBB at 30+ will be right to play all 22 games + finals (hopefully)...so we will need Josh at some stage 

    Yes.  Highly likely one of them will get injured or drop form. Schache has an opportunity to prove he is more than just a depth player as some call him.

    If we are being honest he is like Weid but with a bit more versatility and adaptability. Can play fwd or back He can actually take a one grab mark which was Weid's downfall IMO so all in all its a slight upgrade

    Yes.  He's an upgrade on Weideman.  I think his best position is half-back.

    I think that part is innate, very difficult to develop it

    I used to know someone connected with the Bulldogs FD who told me that Schache was the least competitive AFL footballer he had seen. Sounds harsh, hope he's proven wrong at a 3rd club

    Yep, but two clubs have already let him go.  That's a bit of red flag for me.

    Red and blue flag sounds just right

    Watts was ahead of your other failures to compete. He at least had skill to back up what attributes he had.

    Which really made him all the more disappointing

    Not a lot of love for Josh’s debut for the red & the blue.

    A return of 3 & 4 goals in his only outings for Casey has me optimistic on a strong showing against the Kangas.

    Good luck Josh - 3rd time lucky

    The low expectations could surprise a few. I’m glad he doesn’t have his No 2 draft pick over hanging him. I hope he does well.

    I hope he kicks a few, he has talent and can play in multiple positions. He played well against Jackson last year and had the better of him in the ruck and when Jackson went forward.

    Good luck to the lad. Weids is playing like a man at the bombers so I have hope Shaq will reinvent himself too.  

    Who would have thought we'd line up without Ben Brown or Tmac in the F50 without injuries being an issue. I'm stoked that the FD are taking a look at the whole squad and aren't scarred to mix things up.

    T Mac has been bog ordinary this seaon bar 1 game vs Meth coke magoos! He wont be around next year. BBB was excellent sans his back injury and should go around for another year again. Both Jake Melksham and Hibbo will not be around next year. And by the way I hope Shacky Attacky kicks a bag this week.

    Was expecting he would have beefed up his upper body if not by his 2nd club, then his 3rd club. Needs the extra kgs in my opinion. Apparently mfc asked him to also but can't see any  evidance of it at training. His form in vfl late last year and now this year has been exceptional though. Good time to take a look at him.

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front. They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
