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.
    Just keeps on keeping on.

    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.

    Yeah, big loss at a bad time.

    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

    The only sour note of this win is not knowing any lions supporters to stick it up.

    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 ❤️

      The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.

    • CASEY: Northern Bullants

      The Casey Demons travelled to a windy Cramer Street, Preston yesterday and blew the Northern Bullants off the ground for three quarters before shutting up shop in the final term, coasting to a much-needed 71-point victory after leading by almost 15 goals at one stage. It was a pleasing performance that revived the Demons’ prospects for the 2025 season but, at the same time, very little can be taken from the game because of the weak opposition. These days, the Bullants are little more than road kill. The once proud club, situated behind the Preston Market in a now culturally diverse area, is currently facing significant financial and on-field challenges, having failed to secure a win to date in 2025.

    • GAMEDAY: Sydney

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons have a golden opportunity to build on last week’s stirring win by toppling Sydney at the MCG. A victory today would keep them firmly in the hunt for a finals spot and help them stay in touch with the pack chasing a place in the Top 8. Can the Dees make it two in a row and bring down the Swans?

    • NON-MFC: Round 11

      Round 11, the second week of The Sir Doug Nicholls Round, kicks off on Thursday night with the Cats hosting the Bulldogs at Kardinia Park. Geelong will be looking to to continue their decade long dominance over the Bulldogs, while the Dogs aim to take another big scalp as they surge up the ladder. On Friday night it's he Dreamtime at the 'G clash between Essendon and Richmond. The Bombers will want to avoid another embarrassing performance against a lowly side whilst the Tigers will be keen to avenge a disappointing loss to the Kangaroos. Saturday footy kicks off as the Blues face the Giants in a pivotal clash for both clubs. Carlton need to turn around their up and down season while GWS will be eager to bounce back and reassert themselves as a September threat. At twilight sees the Hawks taking on the Lions at the G. Hawthorn need to cement themselves in the Top 4 but they’ll need to be at their best to challenge a Brisbane side eager to respond after last week’s crushing loss to the Dees on their home turf. The first of the Saturday night double headers opens with North Melbourne up against the high-flying Magpies. The Roos will need a near-perfect performance to trouble a Collingwood side sitting atop the ladder.
