    good to see brown was doing good off field.

    A remarkable human being and one of the best people you could ever hope to have at your club. He brings so much to our club and we should be incredibly proud that he plays for us.

    Even if he doesn’t play another game, his contribution next year will be immeasurable. If every young player at our club models themselves on Ben, they’ll be better for it.

    This is without a doubt the funniest post of the season. Well played sir.

    I think we underestimate how hard being a key forward is at that age and doing it basically alone for so many games because everyone else is falling over injured. And then being thrown in the ruck as well. 

    McVee had a phenomenal year, but he was also incredibly well supported by stars like May and Lever. 
    Roo was often a lone hand and did remarkably well under very difficult circumstances. 
     

    Both are very worthy winners. 

    I Don't underestimate the fwd role at all nor what JvR did.  Happy for the kid but that he got himself suspended when we needed him most devalues his year somewhat.

    That McVee is ahead of other defenders says he more than held his own without depending on May, Lever etc

    I actually thought the post that preceded the park bench gag was even funnier.

    His suspension was very disappointing. Ironic too given what Maynard did and got off *don’t mention the war*
     

    He plays on the edge and he will learn from it. 
    I rather that than someone lacking hardness.

    Gonna miss Hibbo. A true character who gave his absolute all every time he played. 
    A really fantastic pick up!

    Nice scoop.

    Hopefully he can have a bit of luck with his knee as we chronically need a forward that doesn’t let us down in front of goal.

    Highlights of our last 5 rounds is brutal for what could have been.

    Petty and Melksham winning us games, then didn't feature.

    Pain.

    JJ will definitely be there. 
    Hope Grundy is too

     

    This school play is literally the most painful thing I’ve sat through since we lost to Carlton 🫠

    are your kids in the play or just going for the show?

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      There was a time during the current Melbourne cycle that goes back to before the premiership when the club was the toughest to beat in the fourth quarter. The Demons were not only hard to beat at any time but it was virtually impossible to get the better them when scores were close at three quarter time. It was only three or four years ago but they were fit, strong and resilient in body and mind. Sadly, those days are over. This has been the case since the club fell off its pedestal about 12 months ago after it beat Geelong and then lost to Carlton. In both instances, Melbourne put together strong, stirring final quarters, one that resulted in victory, the other, in defeat. Since then, the drop off has been dramatic to the point where it can neither pull off victory in close matches, nor can it even go down in defeat  gallantly.

    • CASEY: Footscray

      At twenty-four minutes into the third term of the game between the Casey Demons and Footscray VFL at Whitten Oval, the visitors were coasting. They were winning all over the ground, had the ascendancy in the ruck battles and held a 26 point lead on a day perfect for football. What could go wrong? Everything. The Bulldogs moved into overdrive in the last five minutes of the term and booted three straight goals to reduce the margin to a highly retrievable eight points at the last break. Bouyed by that effort, their confidence was on a high level during the interval and they ran all over the despondent Demons and kicked another five goals to lead by a comfortable margin of four goals deep into the final term before Paddy Cross kicked a couple of too late goals for a despondent Casey. A testament to their lack of pressure in the latter stages of the game was the fact that Footscray’s last ten scoring shots were nine goals and one rushed behind. Things might have been different for the Demons who went into the game after last week’s bye with 12 AFL listed players. Blake Howes was held over for the AFL game but two others, Jack Billings and Taj Woewodin (not officially listed as injured) were also missing and they could have been handy at the end. Another mystery of the current VFL system.

    • PREGAME: Brisbane

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.
