Recommended Posts

Our system in place today and the players who implemented it were huge.

Lots of to work on eg. goal kicking going forward.

No Clarry, No Petty all positive got to take our chances next time we face them when the stakes are greater.

Not going to pretend that Van Rooyen was best on ground and I'm not going overcook the praise for what was overall just a pretty good game, but...

Van Rooyen didn't miss.

On a level with the Harmes-to-Fritsch clearance kick in the Grand Final for turning point moments.

And as he ran in for the shot he looked... happy. It was uncanny. It was as if he already knew it was a goal.

I have full confidence whenever he has a shot. He never changes his routine.

Sorry adonski but you have to watch him live to appreciate his value to the team. 

Neal-Bullen 

Sorry Dee Zephyr, but no amount of hard running, corralling and ‘trying hard’ would make up for the fumbling, poor disposals, inability to win a ‘one on one’, inability to take a contested mark, as well as being below par for disposals and hitting the scoreboard. 
If he is such a defensive beast why haven’t we seen him in a ‘run with’ role ?

It was one of his better games this year.

Correct. He played on Josh Daicos and was very good. 
Chin was ok. Spargo did nothing hence he was subbed. 
Kosi seems to me to be carrying an injury. Barely got out of first gear and didn’t make the distance from 40 out.

The value of an in-form Salem can’t be overstated. He was excellent today. Brought the physicality and composure in key moments. Will be massive for us at the pointy end.

He’s a [censored] but 100% not a Trump supporter.

Seems to have the brain capacity to be a Republican. 
Either way he is an average player and an average sportsman. Embarrassing from him.

Think I'd need a NASA telescope to appreciate what he 'does'

8th and 9th in the last two best and fairests, suggests that maybe you aren't sure what you are looking for?

His defensive forward efforts and hard running were solid today. And he kicked a clutch goal.

He is the epitome of a sore loser Yank. No doubt he voted for Trump. 

Too many Yank sportsmen are sore losers by nature. When they lose it’s because they haven’t cheated hard enough.

Can't keep carrying ANB in these sorts of games

How is this the first comment post win?

We beat the team everyone said was going to walk up to the podium in September unopposed. Ffs.

    REMATCH by Meggs

    The Mighty Demons take on the confident Cats this Saturday night at the recently completed $319 million redeveloped GMHBA Stadium, with the bounce of the ball at 7:15pm. Our last game of 2023 was an agonisingly close 5-point semi-final loss to Geelong, and we look forward to Melbourne turning the tables this week. Practice match form was scratchy for both teams with the Demons losing practice matches to Carlton and Port Adelaide, while the Cats beat Collingwood but then lost to Essendo

    WELCOME 2024 by Meggs

    It’s been hard to miss the seismic global momentum happening in Women’s sport of late. The Matildas have been playing to record sell-out crowds across Australia and ‘Mary Fowler is God’ is chalked onto footpaths everywhere. WNBA basketball rookie sensation Caitlin Clark has almost single-handedly elevated her Indiana Fever team to unprecedented viewership, attendances and playoffs in the USA.   Our female Aussie Paris 2024 Olympians won 13 out of Australia’s all-time record 18 gol

    EPILOGUE by Whispering Jack

    I sit huddled in near darkness, the only light coming through flickering embers in a damp fireplace, the room in total silence after the thunderstorm died. I wonder if they bothered to restart the game.  No point really. It was over before it started. The team’s five star generals in defence and midfield ruled out of the fray, a few others missing in action against superior enemy firepower and too few left to fly the flag for the field marshal defiantly leading his outnumbered army int

    POSTGAME: Rd 24 vs Collingwood

    The Dees played insipid, error riddled & uninspiring footy all night and in a lightning delayed match they eventually succumbed to Collingwood by 46 points at the MCG in the final game of the year. Thank God this season is finally over. Bring on 2025.

    LAST DANCE by The Oracle

    Forget the wishful thinking from Magpie fans who think their team can perform yet another miracle and somehow snatch a place in the 2024 finals series when their team takes on the Demons at the MCG on Friday night. It ain’t gunna happen. They can whistle Dixie through their non-existent front teeth but the fact of the matter is that both teams have run their race. The game is a dead rubber — for each of them, this will be the last dance of the season.  And given the history between the two

    RED FACED by Whispering Jack

    The wind and the hot unseasonable temperatures together with lights turned on mid game at People First Stadium conspired to leave many Suns players and supporters red faced and gasping for air as the Demons proved a number of points on their way to a nine goal triumph on Saturday afternoon in the Carrara sunshine. Melbourne is the only non-Queensland team to taste victory at this venue in 2024. This surely leaves a number of journalists and media mavens red faced after they rushed to pass
