The backline looks better balanced this weekend, and the midfield slightly stronger as well. 

But imagine being an AFL coach and thinking that you can challenge for a premiership with a forward line consisting of Gawn, Van Rooyen and Smith as the marking targets. The lack of forward craft in those three is astounding, although clearly Van Rooyen will be a good player in time with more strength and experience. 

And then you have Chandler and Spargo contributing stuff all between them at the moment.

 

Oh hell I think I will go to bed and pull the doona over my head poita. Can you come get me about 11.00 pm.

    Just realised you clearly know the song since you just quoted a line from it. Or was that a coincidence?

    FireInTheBennelly is one of the few others like yourself who gets my music references on here WCW 😄

    I'll be at the match with my 2 beautiful daughters (younger one down from Sydney) ... and before the match at a function at the G. They are both Demons, of course.

    Hopefully the team does the right thing to make it a truly memorable night. But sadly I haven't been vaccinated for MFCSS.

    There's no vaccination for MFCSS. There was a theory that having 7 All Australians and a team that spends most of it's time in the top four would trigger a natural response from the immune system. Unfortunatey it has proven to only make the complaint worse.

    Great song, but that lyric's from "Frontier Psychiatrist" (both songs on their debut album).

    Not at all in fact it's time to kill a coach other than our own.

    Good luck. 

    I think my vibes will at least get him one goal. 


    Paddy Dow is expected to get a chance to prove himself on the big stage tonight when Carlton face Melbourne at the MCG. Going to be Sub or so the report goes.

    Perhaps Red was referring to the album title. (?)

    Cannot believe all of the people writing us off because of our forward line. It's been like that all year tbh. 

     When we've kicked big scores we get an even spread of goal kickers and I think the addition of Smith is going to give us a Petty like contest. Hoping for a return to form for Chandler and Pickett.

    I’m a fan of the Joel Smith inclusion and he will have a point to prove tonight. Dees by plenty 

    I am a fan of his as well; possibly sentimentally given that mark taken by his father (and the late-career efforts he made for the Dees ((in strife at the time:)) For those who like Joel being given a place in the team, let's hope he breaks free and has a ripper night on the field.

    KALI MAAA!

    Is it just me or does it feel like forever since our last win?! It’s been three weeks, feels like three years.

    Anyways, huge news for anyone who knows the second love of my life (after the Dees of course. Soz sons, should’ve got into footy)… my chooks. This morning-

    MELKSY LAID AN EGG!!!!

    This is the first egg laid since we tragically lost our last brood to a fox who clearly didn’t get the memo about being nocturnal.

    This would DEFINITELY be a good omen since Melksy played superbly last time vs Carlton. It’s a shame he’s this week’s mandatory Melbourne suspended player. 😭

    I really wish you hadn't posted that my MFCSS is over the top already.


    Jordan dropped again?  Getting beyond the joke with this kid. I'd leave too if I was getting this sort of treatment.

    • 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.
