Great quarter so far! We'll take that. 

We've dominated with so many forward 50 entries but just not connecting as we would like. That fine! That's the upside in the game that if we can just connect better we'll win.

Go dees!

    Did I see Fritsch limping off towards the race then? 😬

    Happy to be in front against an always-difficult opponent on a ground that is difficult to play on.

    Sydney's contested marking is giving them some looks, and our fumbly ball handling is costing us at times.

    We dominated that quarter.

    It's not his ability to get the ball It's the decision making.

    And his soley one-sided 30m maximum kicking distance

    How is nobody seeing how wild these set ups are? 
    That we are still winning is insane. 
    Hunter in the centre bounce. I laughed so hard.

    Thyroid issues can really kick one’s butt. I suspect that’s been the major cause of Salo’s problems this year. 

    Sure from A fitness point of view, but watching where he is running to or when he has ball in hand (over the last few weeks) has been so unlike himself. But you might be right. 
    tbh if it wasn’t Salem he would have been dropped a few weeks ago.

    Very tight, pressured, squeezed kind of game with lots of pressured turnovers. Liking Turner. Full team defence looks strong. The SCG is so tiny it makes for a scrap, and most goals will come from mids and small forwards. Tidy our kicking, we win well.

    Just making our thoughts plain. Sorry for differing from your opinion.

    How do you rate his tackle pressure and disposal?

    I rate his tackling and disposal on par with Langdon's and miles better than Jordon's.

    FWIW, I fully endorse diversity of opinion but Hunter has randomly been a whipping boy on this site all year. Langdon had a long form slump in the first half of the season and he didn't get nearly as much criticism as Hunter does.

    The dislike for Hunter on this site is really embarrassing and cringe. He's been consistently good this year and will possibly finish in the top 5 in our best and fairest.

    And by the way, he is a way better player than Jordon.

    I totally agree, except for the bit where you used “cringe” as an adjective (and yes, I know, I know, but they’re wrong too). 

    First year at the club. People need to chill.

    Our backline is just so much better with Tomlinson in there. He’s not superstar, but he plays his lockdown role well enough (88% one on one win rate, best at the club). He allows the rest of our backs to play to their strengths. It’s almost become comical now watching our defense turn to water when he’s dropped.

    We’re just cruising today so fingers crossed for no injuries.

    Half time

    Just not quite taking our chances inside 50 

    ✅✅ Gawn. Brayshaw. Fritsch.  Melksham (loved that mark and goal) 

    🤯🤯Salem. 
    🤯Kozzzy 

    🤔Turner some good and some not good 

    Strstegy - defensive…2 or 3 behind the ball and two down at stoppage but we’re winning clearances !!!

    There is a scenario where we would play Sydney in a 1st Semi final if they play/beat Carlton and we lose to Collingwood (if GWS won today).

    I’m liking the forward line setup. Not so much Rivo and Maysie taking shots for goal!

    Does anyone else reckon Rivo looks like Adam Ant with his sunscreen?

    Only if there is a quick whistle blown in time for the player to make a decision. If the umpire hasn’t blown the whistle for the first free, the player has no choice but to play on because no free has been paid yet.

    Well at time we will agree to disagree because players just keep going.

    Interesting call from Buddy to do a farewell at the SCG but not do anything at the Grand final.

    I guess Sydney is his home now and he's played there for years. Nothing more to it?

    • PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Way back in March we contemplated the possibility of a Demon resurgence after Simon Goodwin’s summer of love. Many issues at the club had seemingly been addressed, key players were returning from injury and a brand new day was about to dawn. We imagined the coach pulling a rabbit out of a hat. The team would roar up the charts, push aside every opponent and make its way to a Grand Final ending in ultimate triumph with Goody and Max holding the premiership cup aloft under a shower of red and blue ticker tape.

    • AFLW REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      We’re back! That was fun. The Mighty Dees’ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commanding 48-point winover the Western Bulldogs, retaining the Hampson-Hardeman Cup in style. After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

    • CASEY: Box Hill

      The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

      The final game of the 2025 Season is finally upon us and the Demons may have an opportunity to spoil the Magpies Top 4 aspirations when they face them on Friday Night. Who comes in and who goes out?
