Can we sub Billings off now?

I thought he was supposed to be a good kick.

He's not at all tonight.

 

[censored] Billings, should have 3 goals tonight. Meant to be a good kick. Oh well. Still in front, come on Dees lets finish it.

we should have a runner to take the handball from maxy in those situations. he never kicks those. 50 meter out on an angle no problem but everything else less than 50/50

Someone please tell Goodwin 

Even though the 5 day break will have a bearing, I back our last quarter fitness from this point.

Hey hey easy there, he’s kicked half a goal thank you very much… 

To bad we couldn’t finish it that qtr would have been good to be able to take it easy on the last

We missed three set shots in a row at the end.

We could have iced it.

You don't want them anywhere near us in the last with that crowd.

We converted so well last week.

Need to convert this last quarter or we'll be in strife.

Jack Billings kicking seems as bad as Maxies


A professional, workman like quarter from the Dees there.

Oliver has lifted and was very good, want him to step up again in the last and run out the game. 

Billings is not have a good game for the second game in a row. He might get a rest next week I expect Woewoden to take his place early in the last quarter. 

Sparrow had a good quarter.

Like this and would like to see us put three more goals into the lead before the end.

Go Dees!

Billings well known for yips in front of goal at Saints. I have thought apart from his goal kicking he’s been more than serviceable tonight.

Over his 10 years he's kicked a total 102.118. Less than a 50/50 kick! I guess that's why the Saints got fed up. Disappointing!

There’s absolutely no point in him getting wiped out 

Crows will throw everything at us this quarter. Far from over.


Everyone yukking Billings' kicking, no one celebrating his chase down tackle. Ok then.

Hopefully it’s enough of a lead. I wonder how much we have in the legs so we won’t want to make this hard for ourselves. Let’s try to put this out of reach in the first 5 minutes so we can lock it down a bit.

It was a great tackle but shame about the finish!

  • 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.
