That's definitely not me. I'm the guy critiquing the umpires

BALLLLLLLLLL!

"You've got to pay them both ways"

"FFS"

"There used to be one umpire who's doing a better job than these 4"

Kosssieeeeeee!

"They need to get rid of the insufficient intent rule, that call was b*[censored]"

"Kick a goal son! How good was that!"

Hello, is that me?

I was going off last week about the inconsistency - does my head in

 

The six day turnaround is a test for players and fitness staff, but does the AFL understand how hard it can be washing and drying a pair of lucky Demons socks with such a short break between games?

Solution - second wear is inside out. Third wear is swap feet. One wash every three weeks.


It’s game day baby. Pumped!

About to consume a few alcoholic beverages in the office and then off to the G.

See you there. Go Dees!

Very Suprised that Goodwin has bought Fritsch back into the side after only 1 week.

Hope it works,

win tonight and there is a pulse left in the Season

I think he needed to after Turner went out to be honest. There’s no Lever, so if May or T-Mac go down, we only have Petty as a reliable like for like.

If Petty isn’t in our forward line and no Fritsch, then it’s Fullarton and a bunch of smalls VS Vlaustin, Broad and Macintosh in the air…. Probably a bad time.

“MAN UP!!!”

GUILTY as charged, yer 'onour. Not that I've actually managed to see much play this year as Watch AFL and I are having Words - my voucher number doesn't work and I can only watch because some kind Demonlander has loaned me their credentials, but I don't want to rely on that because yannow I paid for a digital membership for myself....

Anyway, GO DEES! I'm off to bed. It's after midnight here and I just can't stay up until 3 or 4am any more. Wrecks me the next day.

I understand that, but we also had 23 tackles in the Forward Line last week.

Fritsch needs to contribute to the Team a lot more…

Hopefully the light has switched on inside his head..

Dees by 3 goals it should be more but we have the lead weight back in the forward line this week.

Classy.

So with Melksham out injured, who would you have brought in ?


I'm here.

Trigger warning- small handful of dees players on the ground in a circle - kicking around a soccer ball.

All about how hard we work off the ball tonight - our scoring will flow off the back of that.

line for line (no J. Smith)), we have the tiges covered.

Hunner percent, zero argument here.

I’ve said it elsewhere on here before but Fritsch has never been strong defensive or pressure wise at all.

What has changed is the goals dried up, which made this wayyyyy more evident.

Had a look at the last few years and the following is his ranking in our team on averages:


          Tackles   Tackle I50  Pressure acts

2021    19th            8th                    14th

2022     24th           7th                   19th

2023    27th            15th                 22nd

2024 28th           11th                23rd   

2025     12th 11th             19th

Gates open at 5:30pm (MCC 5pm)

Order of events:

6.50pm - Pre-Match Entertainment
7.01pm - Light Horses Lap of Honour
7.12pm - Observance Ceremony
7.18pm - Joint Banner Run Through
7.30pm - Match Start

Note: they pause entry through all gates during the Observance Ceremony (at 7.12pm). If you're not inside the ground by then, you'll be held outside.

With increased security measures it’ll take longer to process everyone. They really should open the gates at 4:30pm imo. At Easter Monday’s Hawks vs Geelong match there were folks who missed the first quarter due to the time it takes to get everyone in.

thats handy for me to know stuck home and cant be thereSad Season 4 GIF by The Office

I do that all the time same with my jocks

I will be interested to see the way the coaching team perform this evening.

Last week was really the first time I have seen them win the match day coaching. They were positive and proactive.

Need the same tonight.

Want to see pressure, Pressure, Pressure and a clearly defined task for Viney. He responded very well last week.

Go Dees!

Totally agree. Small wins continuously.

With the amount of upsets already in the Season, we can claw our way back, but we must get on a winning streak

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
