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.

  • PREVIEW: North Melbourne

    Can you believe it? After a long period of years over which Melbourne has dominated in matches against North Melbourne, the Demons are looking down the barrel at two defeats at the hands of the Kangaroos in the same season. And if that eventuates, it will come hot on the heels of an identical result against the Gold Coast Suns. How have the might fallen? There is a slight difference in that North Melbourne are not yet in the same place as Gold Coast. Like Melbourne, they are currently situated in the lower half of the ladder and though they did achieve a significant upset when the teams met earlier in the season, their subsequent form has been equally unimpressive and inconsistent.ย

  • REPORT: Adelaide

    The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more ย consecutive defeats.ย

  • CASEY: Coburg

    The Casey Demons returned to their home ground which was once a graveyard for opposing teams but they managed to gift the four points on offer to Coburg with yet another of their trademark displays of inaccuracy in front of goals and some undisciplined football that earned the displeasure of the umpires late in the game. The home team was welcomed by a small crowd at Casey Fields and looked right at home as it dominated the first three quarters and led for all bar the last five minutes of the game. In the end, they came away with nothing, despite winning everywhere but on the scoreboard and the free kick count.

  • PREGAME: Rd 18 vs North Melbourne

    After four weeks on the road the Demons make their long awaited return to the MCG next Sunday to play in a classic late season dead rubber against the North Melbourne Kangaroos. Who comes in and who comes out?

  • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

    The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.
