    I've been hard on Melksham but he's getting rewarded for form in the VFL.

    He'll add much more then what Spargo and Jordon have of recent.

    Has @WalkingCivilWar made the trip? Saw some Demon Army people there at the ground yesterday.

    I’ve not. Would need to have robbed a bank in order to go, and robbing banks is so 1980s.

    There aren’t many from the DA there this year but those who are will bring the noise just as loudly as we do every match.

    Happy to report the giant Harmesy graphic made it to the ground last night having spent a worryingly long time on the tarmac at whatever airport. It was flown separately due to time constraints.

    GO THE MIGHTY DEES!!!!

    Fair point. So much for the Petty experiment.

    All of about 100 people there. Surely it’s time for a rethink on this game. I’d rather sell it elsewhere if we have to

    We get the money even if no one turns up, and it's all about the money.

    A lot of the crowd are, I think bussed in from surrounding areas. I assume the weather warnings put a stop to that this year

    This is my least favourite game day of the year. All I can think is that I would be there if the game was in Melbourne, and how much I love live footy.

    We'll agree to disagree Bin

    Bowey certainly has the tank and can play this role plus damage with ball in hand forward of center

    Def agree to disagree on tank - no chance bowey had the tank or high cruising speed of nibbler - an ability that is fundamental to the role.

    They are completely different types of athletes.

    And for context, unlike nibbler  who never comes out of the side, bowey was dropped for a big chunk of last season and has played at Casey tgis year too. Whilst nibbler 

    But leaving that aside, it makes little sense to take Bowey away from his best position as a distributor of half back and make him a high half forward, a role he has never played.

    And even less sense to take nibbler away from a specialist role he has trained and played in over three seasons and made his own to such a high level he is a clear best 22 lock. 

    I mean a few years back, they  encouraged him to look at other clubs. He stayed, and has played so well in that position that the club put him in the leadership group and resigned him on a new contract.

    I can't see how today's game is possibly of any financial gain vs having the game at the MCG. There must be 2k people there. If that. The cost to get there. Accommodation. I really can't wait until we stop doing this.

    Ugh I’d forgotten how depressing it is to watch us play on TV at home.

    It could be minus 7 degrees and I’d be there. ☹️


    It's gonna be one of these types of games. Hopefully we've learnt how to play wet

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

    • PREGAME: Carlton

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
