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.

  • REPORT: 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.ย  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.ย 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, theyโ€™re riding high in third place on the AFL table.ย 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 weekโ€™s encounter, it seems a forlorn hopeย that their upward progression will continue much longer.

  • REPORT: West Coast

    On a night of counting, Melbourneย 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 atย 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 ruckmanโ€™s masterclass in the second half.ย  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipperโ€™s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, aย career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested),ย 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.ย

  • POSTGAME: West Coast

    Following a disastrous 0โ€“5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
