Good to see Harmes playing well and enjoying footy. It was the right thing to let him look elsewhere but I still miss his energy. Also good to see Maynard copping it.

I reckon when we were at our peak he was a key part of our handball chains through the midfield and wings that ripped the game open offensively. But he dropped off and had to go unfortunately.

    James Brayshaw blames the kicker for poor delivery when the target lost front position and played from behind!!

    Brayshaw has no idea.  Did he ever play footy?

    Just heard Bailey Smith late out for the cats tomorrow - calf injury for all you supercoach peeps (can't see a reason to change a tip against the Aints though)

    How is he going after Sam Darcy when he can. 

    How about he focuses on driving a car properly

    I think it's probably a good thing for the Doggies to play a few games without having to rely on Bontempelli to carry them on his back.

    I'd only pay blatant high contact ... otherwise play on for incidental contact

    But I'd retrospectivilly rub players out for flopping

    Which means that Joel Selwood would have barely played a game (haha)

    Selwood received about 500 soft, high contact free kicks.  Flopped for his whole career and cheated the game

    Mate I’ve always said that if pushing in the back had been applied properly, Hawkins would have 100-200 goals less. Defenders don’t lurch forwards at the last second if you’re just holding their body weight and not pushing. Drove me nuts.

    Horrible kicking for goal by the Pies again 

    You can’t play Port every week

    Yep, that's a good point too, BoBo

    I loved the hands in the back rule and it should still be in operation.  I like it mostly because it's a cut and dried rule. 

    Use your hands and you get pinged

    Use of the body or the forearm to hold your ground was how it used to be (back in my day)

    But you are right, Hawkins just pushed his opponents in the back and because of the shoddy rules, got away with it

    The AFL are great at making money and marketing the sport but as custodians, they often fail

    Add a couple more preseasons, strength training and experience to Darcy’s game and he’s gonna be nuts. Natural footy instincts on top of athleticism on top of 206cmish frame on top of being very skilled for his size.

    Got a bit of mongrel too.  Cleaned up Maynard last year

    (Can he do it again?  Tonight?)

    My weekly pet peev, the lack of advantage rule

    Free kick to Daicos so the bloke lets him go out of the tackle. Daicos then takes off and takes the advantage

    That is not how an advantage rule works!!! Dogs played the whistle and let him go

    So many packs.

    No free flow footy.

    Thoughts?

    I think it’s a fantastic game… possibly the best that I’ve watched so far this year. Some great handling skills on display and great pressure acts.

    Agreed, not the greatest in terms of transition, free flowing footy or great goals but very even, competitive and close on the score board. Like you, so tired of the constant packs around the play but that is modern footy.

    The Pies have 15-5 since then

    • Thank You Simon Goodwin

      As Demon fans, we’ve ridden a rollercoaster of emotions over the decades; the heartbreaks, the near misses, the wooden spoons, and the endless waiting. But through it all, we clung to hope. And then came Simon Goodwin. Before he ever wore red and blue, he was a champion in his own right. A five-time All-Australian, two-time Best and Fairest, and two-time premiership hero and Captain with Adelaide, Simon Goodwin was always destined to lead. When he transitioned from the field to the coach's box, first as an assistant at Essendon, he began shaping a new legacy.

    • PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

      Long ago and far away, the Melbourne Football Club replaced its coach in difficult circumstances after the team suffered a devastating loss. In the aftermath, I penned the following words: “Then came the politics, the intrigue, the axing, the sound of the football world laughing at a club, the circling of the media vultures, the reinvention of history, the anger, the irony, the pathos, the hurt on the face of the president, the dignified departure of the coach, and the determination of the newly appointed caretaker.” Today, we’re back in the same place although one difference here is that the coach who was terminated this time is Simon Goodwin, the man who four years ago

    • REPORT: West Coast

      The Charles Dickens novel, A Tale of Two Cities, opens with, “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, …”  This phrase highlights many of the significant challenges that humanity encounters in life, ranging from experiencing remarkable highs to living in times of despair. This is a concept that should resonate with all supporters of the Melbourne Football Club this morning as they reflect on its comprehensive 83-point victory over the struggling West Coast Eagles at Marvel Stadium. The outcome proved beyond doubt that they are the worst of clubs and that we are the best of the worst.

    • PREGAME: Western Bulldogs

      With only 3 games to go, all against Top 8 fancies, the Demons face a daunting task as they return to the MCG when they play the Western Bulldogs. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      The Demons return to town fresh off a thumping win over the back-to-back wooden spooners, the West Coast Eagles, played in front of a sparse crowd at Marvel Stadium, the same venue that hosted last week's heartbreaking loss.
