    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.

     ...If McDonald ever pulls on a dees jumper again I'll eat my fist...

    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!"

    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.... 🥴

    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.

    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.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
