same old Melbourne

 

JVR looks like his feet are stuck in quicksand 

Swans just executing their game plan and skills better. They look like they have more time 

 

Don't enjoy potting players, but I'm yet to see anything from Laurie that suggests he's up to the level yet. Sub him off for Billings at half time.

Training drill for the swans unfortunately. We really needed that call early when ANB should’ve had a shot 10m out directly in front. Umpires have been disappointing. So have we though.


Unless this gets better might be bed at half time

 

Ho hum 

Keep calm Demonlanders. Everything will be ok………..I think

👏Gawn. Tomlinson.  Viney.  Only !!! 

Max is having no impact at all.

One disposal. No marks.

Tommo tick.

Oliver looks good.

Kick straight and we win.

It's a big if though.

Edited by leave it to deever

 

This years game plan is looking a lot like last year’s and the year before that, and the year before that….goal kicking accuracy is shizen again. 

If you listen to everyone it's not even worth watching the rest because if you don't take your chances you're stuffed.


Why the [censored] did an underdone spargo get picked ahead of the class-machine Billings?

Not enough credit given to Swans. Suffocating our ball movement and cutting through our zone too easy with shirt kicks and switches. 

1st quarter

xx Spargo and Laurie horrible and soft 

Xx kicking efficiency horrible 

Xx goalkicking 1-6.  Spargo Fritsch missed sitters 

🤡🤡Petracca handball to players under pressure - hit a target 

👏Gawn. Tomlinson.  Viney 👏 !!!

I don’t see what he adds? And Billings at least finds the ball


Spargo around goal 🤮

Fritta playing on instead of doing the team thing and taking the alloted time so our press could set up and players recover.  As a rookie i'd get it... but for an experienced player that's a shocker and SG should make sure he never does that again.

All players should be on notice here not just Fritta.  Has to be a team rule unless only a few minutes of match time to go and we need a very quick goal.

Edited by Demon Dynasty

Spargo and Fritta have to nail those two goals, you don’t miss them at AFL level. 
 

We aren’t playing well, but it’s the first quarter. Get a run on and get some confidence. 

Settle Dees. 1Q thoughts:

- Viney, great as always

- Sparrow, inspired

- ANB, good 1% ers

- Spargo, would rather Billings

- Schache, don’t know if he is AFL quality

I think we'll win this but geez we're still absolutely shizen going forward 


What is going on with Fritsch?!

  • NON-MFC: Round 09

    Round 9 kicks off out west with the Dockers hosting a Collingwood side resting several stars. Fremantle need to make a statement on their home deck after some disappointing form on the road, while the Magpies will be keen to maintain their Top 2 position. Friday night sees a must-win clash between two sides desperate to stay in touch with the eight. St Kilda have shown glimpses while Carlton are clinging to relevance after a flat start to the season. Saturday’s twilight game at Marvel pits the Bombers against a struggling Sydney outfit. Essendon can’t afford another close match against a lower-ranked side, while the Swans risk sliding down the ladder even further. Up in Darwin, the fourth-placed Suns will look to extend their stay in the top four. The Bulldogs have hit their stride with three big wins on the trot and will be very keen to consolidate on their momentum. The always fiery Showdown looms as pivotal for both clubs. Adelaide are eyeing a spot in the Top 4 with a win, while Port Adelaide’s season could slip away if they drop another game and fall further behind the pack. Sunday begins with a yawn fest between Richmond and West Coast. The Tigers need to bank the points to stay clear of the bottom two, while the Eagles are still chasing their first win of the year. The Giants face one of the league’s toughest road trips as they travel to GMHBA Stadium to face the Cats. With GWS at risk of a third straight loss, Geelong will be eager to consolidate their position inside the eight and start their climb up the ladder. The round wraps up with the top-of-the-table Lions heading to Ninja Stadium to take on the second-last Roos. The Lions should easily take care of the struggling Roos who might be powerless against the best in the comp. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

    Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front. They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

  • REPORT: West Coast

    On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    The Demons return to the MCG to take on the High Flying Hawks on Saturday Afternoon. Hawthorn will be aiming to consolidate a position in the Top 4 whilst the Dees will be looking to take a scalp and make it four wins in a row. Who comes in and who goes out?
