Have almost given up worrying about the result. Mostly interested in how the young ones go.

I feel the same way, given the coaching, demands/injuries/limited reliance and selection(s) this year! Giving the 'younger ones' the opportunity in the AFL team is paramount for improvements in '25. Fresh rounds in the magazine, so to speak. If they can hit the target, they will still kill.

Midfielders, bombing = little game play for Chandler other than what he picks up on the side with extraordinary efforts. Lowering eyes from the midfield, Chandler gets space, gets goals.

Our forward entries could best be described as atrocious.

So bad, it totally negates Fritta, JVR, Chandler, resting rucks, flankers, utilities ... and the midfielders, themselves.

With respect, I sincerely hope we mess up your tips this week ❤️💙

I had a dream on Tuesday night we were winning in the 3rd quarter by 5 goals, then it becomes all blurry after that.

I didn't see him there.

He trains fully. Has been for a while now. I’ll be shocked and disappointed if they make him come back through Casey. 

He has been training and now full training for some time but he has had a minor set back a little while ago but not his knee. Coming back through the reserves were his words. Personally I would hope one week at Casey only because of the length of time he has been out.

But would I be surprised if he came straight back in?

Definitely. It’s been several weeks now with no sign of improvement 

I was thinking maybe just a 🤔 for this, W, but, what the heck...

This muted, arms length response contrasts with your previous inner-sanctum reporting from the Fritsch camp.

Should we be worried?


Little doggie man omitted- what a joke! Club is a mess!

Bears have already had a brain fade, Shadeau omitted.

Let the rage begin. We have umpire No22…a favourite of many here 😂

Strange selection with Lever, May, Tomlinson, JVR, Turner, TMac and Petty in the side

maybe Turner will be the sub?


Kynan dropped after 5 minutes of play, what a pointless selection then last week. Good coach we have 🤮[censored] joke.

He will then have Woey as a sub again and give him no opportunity. 
You would look elsewhere if you had half a chance.

Not sure about May, Lever, TMac and Tomlinson all in the side. 

Are we planning on TMac or Tomlinson playing forward? Or May or Lever playing small? 

Not a fan of Brown being dropped after 10 minutes of game time and I’d prefer we don’t make AMW sub, so presumably Woey cops it again.

Not angry, just disappointed. 

Yeah I’d be pretty cheesed off if I was K.Brown right now. Like what more could he have done last week? Winning the game for us wasn’t enough? I hope the communication to him has been clear.

Not at all Tim. I’m still very close friends with Pauline Fritsch. We speak every other day and see each other often. Bayley just happens to be her son. I have a son the same age as Bayley, and Pauline and I don’t talk much about either of them.

I can’t deny he’s currently in a form-slump. I mean, I’m delusional. But I’m not that delusional 😅

I'm just getting frustrated with this incessant desire to not reward anyone who shows some ticker. 

He'll be back I'm sure, just for god's sake don't make AMW sub or this place will be torn apart.

 

I hate them dropping Brown even more than I hated them playing him as the sub last week. Way to just [censored] all over the kids head. 

Kynan dropped after 10 mins of play, a gamewinning tackle and a kick to advantage. Wtf mate honestly

  • 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.  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.

  • POSTGAME: West Coast

    Following a disastrous 0–5 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.
