The best part of the last few weeks has been the emergence of some of our youngsters. 

Oh and by the way Essendrug are a pack of front running soft buddies who couldn't run through wet lettuce.

I watched tonight, just to enjoy watching young players developing.

The win was a bonus, and we get to see the future!

Good kicking is good football. Liked (most of) the set shots.

Which were mainly off the back off JVR workhorse performance and our mids working around him.

Petty was absolutely horrendous tonight. Even Goody acknowledged that by throwing JVR into the ruck into the second quarter that turned the game for us. Our own senior coach is pretty much admitting that Petty was crud in the ruck.

But of course you think his performance was justified because why wouldn't you..

In the centre square, he was ordinary as a ruck, particularly in the first half... as I acknowledged in my first post. 

I'm watching the replay now and his follow up work around the ground is fine.

OK I'm in london & just saw the scores. Oh my god I'm so happy.

How did we win this?

How did we go in the ruck?

Maybe we need to trust goody and his plans.

Go dees. What a weekend,  pies lose and so do the bummers

Carlton lost as well 😍

Plenty of nuffies around.  This is your post after last year's finals loss to Carlton.

How's that typing with one hand working out for you?

 

Touche

Credit where credit is due, he's reinvented himself.

Ironically it's McDonald keeping Petty out of d50.

I was all for the Petty ruck situation but he completely lost me after the first quarter. 

Even Goody said that initially the plan wasn't to have JVR rucking as much as he did tonight but unfortunately once he matched Draper in the ruck contests that took away his/our forward strength up forward.

Thanks god for Turner, Melksham and Fritsch.

His name was Rob. I heard him too. King of the nuffies. Not many supporter groups would call up and whinge about a player after a great win. Probably one of those MCC supporters that yells kick it every seconds. No feel for the game at all.

That's not to say I'm not excited about Jefferson and I think he'll play this year.

"Man up!"

"Just kick the bloody thing!"

Demon Spirit is back in the last month. 
The kids have brought energy and it’s been infectious. 

We were loud in the stands tonight I thought.

By the way, Ben McKay is a bloody good defender for them!

He just kept clunking them and I think that's where the JVR match up would have kept him at bay had he had the luxury to play majority of his time up forward.

Good recruit for them.

Jade Gresham on the other hand.... 🥴

Post game at Yarra Park

Essendon Football Club masquerading as an escaped circus elephant cling vicariously to fifth position on the ladder. Brad Scott although obviously disappointed will be seeking AFL guidance on future umpire selections.

Langdon was huge tonight. A cool 30 touches and 17.4km under the belt

100% TOG. The man is superhuman. 
 

By the way, Petty returning from a horrible foot injury with 0 pre season and hamstring awareness a week ago, and is expected to ruck against a really good solid ruckman. 
The pile on is insane. 
 

Roo was always going to do better given he trained to do backup rucking all pre season under Gawn while Petty was riding a scooter with a foot in a moonboot.

SNewport34. I hope your happy I don’t have a voice

There's a new energy within the club. Melbourne needed some renewal but I really didn't think our new lads could play at this level. Wrong. I do worry about a long season for young players. But, to be fair to Goody, he's held Disco, Koltyn and AMW back and it may work to our advantage now.

    TRAINING: Friday 22nd November 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force on a scorching morning out at Gosch's Paddock for the final session before the whole squad reunites for the Preseason Training Camp.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc.
