Thing is Disco is playing extremely good footy as the third tall down back.

Could never understand why Goodwin would drop him.
Can be swung forward too.

    I continue to be impressed with Bowey's rapid rise this season.

    Many could argue that he gets a lot of easy ball with his role but there were several occasions where he put his body on the line.

    Went at 86% DE as well.

    Good call.

    Went off the boil after his shoulder injury

    He's back to his best this year.

    Which is bl56dy damn good.

    Lever back means Disco up forward I reckon which prob means AJ is out.

    Nah ... AJ is so useful and bruising - and gives it all with a gusto that the big 'uns in opposition did not expect - he can replace Spargo who, IMO, is an under-performer. AJ, Lever and Disco as a fwd might well make us a regularly nasty proposition. Chandler was a great contributor in this game, as well.

    100% i had him delisted in the near future at the start of the season, but he has turned it around epically. I'd love to see him get on a few chains and HB receives and kicking it from the front half more as well. Once/if those score involvements start going up, then he'll start getting noticed a lot more as well.

    You seriously had Bowey down as a possible player to delist? Unbelievable.

    You know, had we converted against the Hawks last week - we had them on toast - and won, we would be just outside the 8 on percentage only. Instead we're 1 win + %, but that's nothing in the scheme of a long season and we're still in the front 9.

    Looks like we're winding up and the team is starting to believe.

    With Viney and Lever back, that'll just about be the best, and most settled team we can put forward.

    With a consistent team, gaining in belief and fitness, who knows?

    He has been crucial in getting our slingshot game going and was fantastic again today. Really growing into the role after his injury interrupted season last year.

    Shout out the the Melk.
    He stated a couple years ago he was playing every game like his last.

    Fritsch needs to bring that effort consistently. That's the standard now. Great cameo as sub.

    Melksham was unreal.

    Gawn's late clunks were huge.

    Again great call.

    Last two sentences especially.

    How great to have a quality forward that plays with so much intensity in Melksham.

    He was even considerate enough to give his opponent a drink.

    And I suppose a bath.

    Bowey has become elite. What a great game. He missed that target on the wing, otherwise he was superb. Won so many clutch moments.

    A game high 10 intercept possessions, 5 score involvements and 1 goal assist at 86% DE.

    A+ Bowser! 👏👏👏

    Delisting was abit of a stretch but he fell off a cliff last year after being KO'd.

    I'll forever be convinced that we win the flag in 2023 if he didn't get injured.

    We were one forward short and he was in fine form. He shows up in big games too.

    Can't wait to watch the replay.

    May even watch some other footy shows. Probably not classified as much as I'd like to see smug McClure praise our win

    Lindsay's second half was huge.

    He learns, onfield, against them all - atoning for let-downs from others; the thinking footballer, with silky skills and separating pace.

    I'm in with your theory on that. We lacked the ability to kick goals, it's exactly what he does.

    We lose Petty, Melk, and Brayshaw. All three impact our ability to score (Gus going down meant Trac couldn't play forward).

    My 6yo (who got his first membership this year) has sung the song about 80 times since the last siren. What a sight.

    That's why we follow these things - as silly as it may all be some time - a bunch of strangers running around an oval, eliciting these big emotions. Getting us all riled up, excited, euphoric and broken, sometimes all in a minute.

    Then we run out, the underdogs, with the footy world and media having written us off. Our culture scrutinised every single moment.

    And we claim the win. Away from home. The song sung louder than it has in a long time.

    This is why we share these moments with our loved ones.

    Go Dees ❤️

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

      The Dogs reigned supreme in 2018 with an inaugural AFLW premiership cup and the Demons matched this feat by winning the cup as the Season 7 2022 champions.Meggs wasn’t born when the Doggies won their first VFL premiership cup against the Demons in 1954. Covid prevented many Demons fans from legally witnessing the victorious 2021 AFL Grand Final cup performance between the Demons and the Bulldogs, but we all grin when remembering those magnificent seven third quarter goals.

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Hawthorn and Melbourne. Two teams with impressive form from last week but with seasons that are travelling on different trajectories meet in Saturday’s twilight game for what could well be the most intriguing contest of the AFL’s penultimate round. Sadly, the game has been relegated to that unappealing time slot in the weekend when Melburnians are typically preoccupied with activities other than football. It falls between the morning's shopping, afternoon sport and recreation, and Saturday night fever. A time usually reserved for relatively insignificant events but this one is not a nothingburger for either of the clubs or their fans.

    • AFLW: 2025 Season Preview

      Ten seasons. Eighteen teams. With the young talent pathway finally fully connected, Women’s Australian Rules football is building momentum and Season 2025 promises to be the best yet. In advance of Season 10, the AFL leadership has engaged in candid discussions with all clubs regarding strategies to boost attendance and expand fan bases. Concerningly, average attendances in 2024 were 2,660 fans per match, with the women’s game incurring an annual loss of approximately $50 million.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?
