MONIZZ with the XX appellation.

Is that the footy equivalent to the Ford Falcon XB GT?

I can see why Thommo is out of favour, has made some critical errors which should have resulted in goals. Shache out the back for a goal. MONIZ Wakey doing well as is a busy Brown dog,Petty has barely touched it. FULLARTON Good. Laurie goodish but IMV lacks a yard in pace

Not good re Petty.

Tommo could be feeling a little flatย 

Thanks for the update Picket.

Good to hear AMW doing well. He's my favoured smoky.ย 

Petty will take at least a month to regain fitness and touch, he's barely touched a ball in preseason.

Fullarton we need

Yea I think we've all been a bit short sighted and overly optimistic re Petty's return. Good call Roost it a long ways.

MONIZZZXX another great goal running through the centre

Hi Picket, how did Sestan go please? And where would you place him in the pecking order at present, and into the future?

Goody openly said heโ€™ll be back for the Hawks so forgive anyone for taking what he says at face value. Maybe they shouldnโ€™t after Clarry last year ๐Ÿ˜‚

Sestan did not play!

DEES PLAYERS RUNDOWN

Jed Adamsย was quieter than last practice game. He did a few good things but nothing of note.

Kynan Brown never gives in. He was interested and involved throughout. I have high hopes for this kid.

Kyah Farris-White - same as Jed Adams, but still learning the caper.

Tom Fullarton had a good game. He was involved, took some marks, kicked a goal or two and was good value.

Matthew Jeffersonย played back pocket (despite being recruited as a key forward) and I thought he was one of our better players. He ran around, was involved, used the ball well and created the lose man a la Jake Lever to perfection.

Bailey Laurie was good and mostly involved but faded right out after a bout half way into the 3rd quarter. I query his lack of pace.

Andy Moniz-Wakefield was our best player. He broke the lines, used the ball well and kicked two sensational goals coming off half back.

Harrison Petty - if he had a kick I must have missed it. He looked way off the pace which is not surprising.

Shackey Attacky kicked three but two of them were out the back to him by himself. He just doesn't impose himself enough at the contest.

Adam Tomlinson played well but did look flat. Made some crucial errors which should have resulted in goals but didnโ€™t.ย 

Thatโ€™s about it!

AND NOW FOR THE GOOD, THE BAD AND THE UGLY

THE GOOD

GREAT GAMES BY MONIZ WAKEFIELD AND TO A LESSER EXTENT MATHEW JEFFERSON AND BROWN DOG

THE BAD

GETTING DONE BY A JUST VFL SIDE IN COBURGย 

THE UGLY

OUR NQR PLAYERS WHO I DONโ€™T THINK HAVE ENOUGH TRICKS TO BE REGULAR AFL PLAYERS

Could they be looking at him as coverage for Bowey???


Thanks for the update Byron @picket fence

The thought of the number 45 dashing off half back brings me great joy and reminiscent to the great Matthew Whelan who was our dashing half back back in the 2000's.

He is not a dissimilar player Daz, but at this stage without the fear factor (fear of standing in his way and being steamrolled)!๐Ÿ˜

Report states AMW played across half back and kicked two goals. Normally plays forward?ย ย 

Great game or a confused writer?

ย 

Judging by the track watchers reports Petty would be best suited having another run out with Casey.

Another couple weeks training under his belt before a return to AFL level.

Hawthorn are a nuisance to play against after watching the Ess v Haw game today.

Give Harry the correct amount of time to ease back into the fold i say.

  • GAMEDAY: Richmond

    It's Game Day and the Demons return to the MCG to face the Tigers in their annual Blockbuster on ANZAC Eve for the 10th time. The Dees will be desperate to reignite their stuttering 2025 campaign and claim just their second win of the season. Can the Demons dig deep and find that ANZAC Spirit to snatch back to back wins?

  • PREVIEW: Richmond

    A few years ago, the Melbourne Football Club produced a documentary about the decade in which it rose from its dystopic purgatory of regular thrashings to the euphoria of a premiership victory. That entire period could have been compressed in a fast motion version of the 2025 season to date as the Demons went from embarrassing basket case to glorious winner in an unexpected victory over the Dockers last Saturday. They transformed in a single week from a team that put in a pedestrian effort of predictably kicking the ball long down the line into attack that made a very ordinary Bombers outfit look like worldbeaters into a slick, fast moving side with urgency and a willingness to handball and create play with shorter kicks and by changing angles to generate an element of chaos that yielded six goals in each of the opening quarters against Freo.ย

  • NON-MFC: Round 07

    Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sundayโ€™s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • REPORT: Fremantle

    For this yearโ€™s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last seasonโ€™s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourneโ€™s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

  • CASEY: UWS Giants

    The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

  • PREGAME: Richmond

    The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?
