Really professional win v the Hawks.

Played a great team game. Didn't get put off by their faux toughness tactics

Let them over-possess the ball before we turned it over time and time again.

Smashed them in stoppages. Killed them with pressure. Covered some big holes in defence with ease.

Great camaraderie that we haven't seen since '21

They look like they have steely determination  

Go Dees

    I just finished watching the Replay. 
    The “Love Affair” with the Wizard was embarrassing. 
    Who is this nobody?

    A nickname such as The “wizard” needs to be earned through extraordinary deeds on the Field. 
    To call this newbie the wizard was absolutely disrespectful to The Great Jeffrey Farmer, who was indeed a Wizard.

    Dunstall pondered that Fritsch wanted number 31, after being drafted at pick 31. Then noted, it's odd because it is nit as though 31 is a popular number. Huddo jumped in to remind him that the number 31 is actually quite famous at Melbourne. 

    This isn’t true, anyways. Fritta wanted #35 since he and his dad wore that number throughout their time playing for Coldstream. #35 had already been given to HP so he took #31 which of course he’s happy with.

    I love you like I love Brussel sprouts… rather unpalatable, but very good for me. 😅

    Your comments keep people like me on their toes. Without folks like you the world would be unbalanced and boring. 😉

    Multiple broken ribs and “minor” vertebrae damage. Not good.

    I only know what was reported on Kayo. Three broken ribs and a fracture of a vertebra. They said he’ll definitely miss both Adelaide matches and “probably a couple more after that.”

    I’ll be going to Gosch’s tomorrow so I’ll see what I can find out.

    May back for Anzac Eve would be a great result if the injury is as severe as it sounds.

    Currently 10th on our all time goalkicking ladder, should pass Yze soon and could get the Ox and Greg Wells this year too - I’m not as worried as some about defensive efforts, he knows what his job is

    How is Norm Smith not on this "all time goal kicking ladder"?

    Neither Watson nor Farmer gave themselves their nickname.

    Similarly, both had that nickname before they were even drafted.

    It's not the kid's fault.  The commentators, on the other hand ....

    Very good point. Turns out I was in the modern stats side of AFL Tables that starts at 1965 - on the all-time all-time list Fritsch is down at 21. Rookie mistake by me..

    Agreed. Did you hear the line about Kozzie? "He's been good the last 2 weeks after a quiet game against Sydney" He clearly didn't remember Kozzie was suspended for the Sydney clash. The rest of the commentary team fell silent after that line 

    Most commentators have no idea about football these days.

    I suffered broken ribs about 13 years ago. Ouch!! I've never fully recovered.

    Langdon took a season and a half to recover fully.

    Same here, so painful. Took me about a month to be able to turn over in bed. Don't know how these players come back so quick

    They were streaming out of the ground at three quarter time. I was laughing internally.

    Better man than me. There was no internal laughter on my part! All outward!

    He's getting dementia and forgets names of players regularly. Speaking of dementia, I am not sure he was captain when he left. I thought it was Ditterich to Robbie to Greg Healy to Lyon

    Yes you’re right. I got my Healeys mixed up. However he did win a B&F and leading goalkicker for Melbourne and then more than one B&F for Sydney and a Brownlow for Sydney. And his brother was captain of Melbourne at one stage!

    Nope, the padding is counted as the post.

    thanks to those who commented. It seems the line is marked at the back of the padding, so no goal for Bennie.

    Yep. So if the padding hasn't been attached properly and is dangling off the post by half a metre and the ball hits it then that would be hitting the post.

    Stay tuned for this future controversy when it happens..

      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.

      It’s game day and the Demons are chasing a fourth straight win as we take on the high flying Hawks at the G. After decades of being tormented by the Hawks the Dees will be keen to extend their 7 year dominance over Hawthorn.

    • 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?
