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?

Go back to the weasel hole pal!

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: Gold Coast

    From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

  • CASEY: Gold Coast

    Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

  • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

    The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.

    It's Game Day and the Demons are back on the road again and this may be the last roll of the dice to get their 2025 season back on track as they take on the Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium.
