An absolute master class that included taps to players, taking the ball from the ruck, groundball follow up and of course 3 goals

Might watch the replay. Followed the game but was more involved in the Sydney game. He went the whole four quarters.

Where can you watch the replay?

Rucked about 75% with relief from Schache who played down back and occasionally Verrall

Should be on the AFL site. Hit VFL link on there. Only the Tiger/Pie match is up at the moment.

    In TMac Grundy Hibberd

    Out. Melksham Smith Turner

    Cant ignore Grundy’s game today for Casey and he will have something to prove against the Filth. Smith doesn’t do enough IMO.

    Smith super sub, not full time gig.

    Absolutely no way Hibbo is coming back into the team lol

    Why’s that?

    Only change id make is obvious Melk for TMac. Bring TMac to CHF & make Smith our sub.

    Laurie had some really nice touches so I’d keep him in too.

    While Disco isn’t necessarily as good as Tommo yet when defending one on one, he’s a much better intercept marker so I’d keep him in.

    At the end of the day you really only want to make a change if you have too when you’re consistently winning & especially leading into finals.

    I am really wondering about the potential inclusion of Grundy. The filth have 2 rucks and one of them is a yank who will probably send his boot into Maxys back. Just a thaught.

    Must play two rucks against the Pies.

    Grundy played against 2 ruck Carlton  didn't do us much good then. He's not playing

    He could against the smaller Pies forwardline. Elliot is a good match up

    They'll give the job to McVee and he'll do a fine job imo.

    I don’t mean to be rude but I’m really starting to question the intelligence of a couple of you wanting Grundy back in the team.

    We literally went over this after the Carlton game, Max becomes half the player he is when he has to split ruck duty with Brodie & because Brodie is one dimensional you end having to play him more ruck than Max for him to be effective.

    Could you have Grundy as the sub or is that the stupidest idea since dog goggles?

    Rivers, Salem and Bowey can all take care of these two front runners.

    Disco v Tommo will depend how much they think Cox and Cameron will play forward which brings the additional mature body tall in to play. If they don’t think that will be a consistent threat they probably stick with Disco. Hibbo as the third tall an outside choice if they think he has enough height to go with Mihocek at times and play smaller at others. But lack of match fitness now heavily against him.

    I don’t expect Bowey, Salem, Riv, McVee will change. Hibbo as a small, very unlikely for mine.

    T Mc almost has to play. Hopefully Fritsch is right. JVR. Pickett, Chandler, ANB.

    Do they keep Smith in with Fritsch and McDonald? Or use Tracc as the 4th tall, have Smith the sub and bring in another mid/small forward? Smith’s pace gives him the edge over Laurie for me given the danger of the Pies counter attack and the athleticism of their backs.

    Salem was non existent today & Bowey not much better, we need Hibberd imo, proven big game performer & our best lock down defender.

    • Thank You Simon Goodwin

      As Demon fans, we’ve ridden a rollercoaster of emotions over the decades; the heartbreaks, the near misses, the wooden spoons, and the endless waiting. But through it all, we clung to hope. And then came Simon Goodwin. Before he ever wore red and blue, he was a champion in his own right. A five-time All-Australian, two-time Best and Fairest, and two-time premiership hero and Captain with Adelaide, Simon Goodwin was always destined to lead. When he transitioned from the field to the coach's box, first as an assistant at Essendon, he began shaping a new legacy.

    • PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

      Long ago and far away, the Melbourne Football Club replaced its coach in difficult circumstances after the team suffered a devastating loss. In the aftermath, I penned the following words: “Then came the politics, the intrigue, the axing, the sound of the football world laughing at a club, the circling of the media vultures, the reinvention of history, the anger, the irony, the pathos, the hurt on the face of the president, the dignified departure of the coach, and the determination of the newly appointed caretaker.” Today, we’re back in the same place although one difference here is that the coach who was terminated this time is Simon Goodwin, the man who four years ago

    • REPORT: West Coast

      The Charles Dickens novel, A Tale of Two Cities, opens with, “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, …”  This phrase highlights many of the significant challenges that humanity encounters in life, ranging from experiencing remarkable highs to living in times of despair. This is a concept that should resonate with all supporters of the Melbourne Football Club this morning as they reflect on its comprehensive 83-point victory over the struggling West Coast Eagles at Marvel Stadium. The outcome proved beyond doubt that they are the worst of clubs and that we are the best of the worst.

      With only 3 games to go, all against Top 8 fancies, the Demons face a daunting task as they return to the MCG when they play the Western Bulldogs. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons return to town fresh off a thumping win over the back-to-back wooden spooners, the West Coast Eagles, played in front of a sparse crowd at Marvel Stadium, the same venue that hosted last week's heartbreaking loss.
