It's not something I have much givenagree, but I can't agree.

Friiiter and Wattsy actually both have quite a lot in commo. Both:

- smooth movers

- elite field kicks

- elite and super reliable shots at goal

- brilliant one on one in marking contests

- have/had good hands

- have/had high footy iq

- have/had similar disposal average 

- criticised for not being sufficiently hard at it

- have/had fans questioning their best 22 lock status 

But, apart from all of the above, an you say not liking grappling with defenders and playing at HB, id agree they have nothing in common.

One good, one no good?

Thinking about it now a JVR, Jefferson and Turner forward line could be something special in a few years time, looking forward to hopefully seeing them combine this weekend. All have some different attributes that might compliment each other, only time will tell

I think this season is a must breakout year for Jvr. He seemed to tread water in 24.

Jefferson looked great but one game...hold everything.

Turner is the one I hold the most hope for. He's listed at around only 89 kegs but he plays a lot stronger than that for sure.

I would love to see Milkshake back but with his age and body anything is a bonus.

Agree beaver but sadly I don't think Turner has much more upside. Useful player at best. He will play ok against the poorer side but the better sides will find him out.

If we got Jack Watts at pick 31 we would have been pretty happy overall.

Disagree OD Disco hasn’t played a lot of footy yet, his game against Suns last year was a bit of an eye opener think he kicked 4. With Disco, JvR, Matty Jefferson playing together should also free up Fritta and bring Chin and Sharp into play more.🙏🤞

It all went to [censored] when he was subbed off!

Yep.. structure went down the dunny! However having done one myself broken hand is potentially better than broken wrist, but depends on what part of the hand!

Has broken hand been confirmed or was it a finger nail?

Do you still think Turner is any more than average Deezone?

Ha ha still early days OD, I’d give him another half dozen games to see what he can produce, he could possibly end up down back but not writing him off yet.😁👍

Riewoldt no 1 pick …Franklin no 5 pick …Amiss no 8. The King twins have def not lived up to the lofty expectations..yet ..Hawkins was a very slow starter. I have no idea whether Matthew will make it but have zero interest in saying 2025 is a make or break year for him. I want to at least see him play a few AFL games before casting any aspirations. I do know for a fact that the coaches believe in him …he doesn’t need to be a Franklin or Riewoldt …there probably will never be players like them but if he can play his part in our young developing and promising forward line ..I’ll be happy ..

Ben King is an absolute star. Max hasn't come on unfortunately I think he will show it against us on the weekend especially if May doesn't play. Ridiculous to say this is make or break for Jefferson he has at least to 2027 to find his feet.

He like Petty isn't a forward and he is suffering because it especially when you consider Howes gets a game down back talk about a player that won't make it. He and Laurie have showed nothing and I'm losing patience with Bowey and Woewodin.

What your saving is we have no KPFs I agree I have been saying it ever since Brown in 2021. He was injured etc after that.

Any news re injury??

Goodwin said in his post match presser that he fractured his hand.


Thanks Dazz, hopefully get him back sooner than later!

I know it was a devastating loss to a poor side pf but you need to keep your sense of humor. I thought it was quite funny. 

Gallows humour back at Demonland... who'd have thought...

Is it possible that Howes Bowey Laurie and Woe are all being played out of position. 

Surely Bowey and Howes could be tried on the wing or half forward line! ? 

Could turn Woe into a tagged? And Laurie is he an on baller or elsewhere?

Or they are simply  not senior AFL level talents 58er. IMO they fall into the group of too good at vfl level NQR at senior level.

  • 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.

  • GAMEDAY: West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?
