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.

Post some more please. We could do with less mindless negativity on here.

Some of the best posters here are the ones who never post..


People if you wat a good laugh then go over to bomberblitz and read the review vs dees. They aare 100% worse than us after a loss.

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.

So we beat Essendon… meh.

🥱

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.... 🥴

Well, we're happy that your kid's going to get fed. At least for a week.

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.

  • REPORT: Geelong

    I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

  • PREGAME: Essendon

    Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

  • NON-MFC: Round 04

    Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.
