Have a sneaky feeling Latrelle might bob up for a few this weekend.

Had his best game against the Suns and is growing in confidence every week.

    think we should not only do it for Melksham. I'm of the opinion it should be for Checkers and Steele as well. Because we owe them a lot for what they seem to have started to build here.

    A new standard of no quarter gven, uncompromising, hard and non stop FOOTBALL.

    Completely agree - they have been immense additions, and their pride in what they do is not only evident on their part - it is willing others to do the same - hence the no quarter given football.

    #22 at Collingwood v. Freo. Watch for the bump balls. Freo by 3 pts, please. David Rodan in goal again.

    Yep, good mention on bump balls and slow "stand "calls as well.

    Another one is wild prerogative on who gets to call out of bounds depending on who will benefit or not. Although they have started to pick that up now.

    Another milestone for both Max and Tommy who will both overtake James McDonald who is sitting on 251 games on the MFC all time games tally.

    Funnily enough, if they both line up against Brisbane at the MCG next week, they'll move past Brian Dixon on 252 games as well.

    If they both play out the full remainder of the season (not including finals), they'll both end up on roughly 270 odd games and finish the year ranked at least fifth on that list.

    The quality of journalism and subsequent questioning in press conferences has never been at a higher level.

    “Steven, Melbourne hasn’t won a game at Gather Round. Will you look into that”

    Unless my memory is failing me I believe we beat Adelaide in 2024.

    No it wasn't. It looked OK on paper but watching it I can tell you they were putrid in stoppages, clearance and speed.

    Having said that they will probably get some momentum rise from their performance and we should be wary but if Melbourne plays like it can they are no match.

    They had ONE particularly good qtr... then couldn't keep it rolling. Pups had their measure.

    I dont think Essendon can cover all aspects of our game but they can be THAT bloody nuisance of a side. Nothing to be taken for granted.

    Dees by 5 goals

    Agreed. I don't think Dons have the pace to keep up with him. Expecting him to dance around a few and hopefully set up and/or kick a few.

    He'll be dead keen to play well in front of his old Glenelg crew.

    He's a little 2 steps forward... have a rest etc etc.

    But he's growing as you suggest. The syncronicity between the Picketts is what's really starting to click.

    Their fast becoming everyone else's nightmare.... it's Scott's turn this week 😉

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      Not long ago, the narrative surrounding Melbourne was steeped in pessimism. There was some concern among the pundits (and even some fans) that the club would arrive at the AFL’s Gather Round still winless, vulnerable to a familiar adversary in the Essendon Football Club, and facing significant scrutiny from an ever-critical media on a national stage. Things have changed.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      Steven King astutely identified the issues that had plagued the Melbourne Football Club over the past two and a half seasons when he auditioned for the newly created coaching role. The side that had claimed the 2021 premiership had become stodgy, slow-paced, and hesitant to take the initiative.

      Gather Round is upon us and the Demons face off against the Bombers who are on a 17 game losing streak. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Casey Demons secured their first win of the season by the narrow margin of four points against the Box Hill Hawks at Casey Fields on Easter Sunday morning.

    • POSTGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons put four quarters of hard contested, fast running and high pressure football to knock off the ladder leaders and early premiership contenders the Gold Suns by 20 points at the MCG on Easter Sunday.

    • PODCAST: Gold Coast

      I’ll be away for the next few weeks, so Binman will be holding the fort for our podcasts covering the Suns, Bombers and Lions matches. As a result, there will be no live podcasts during this period, and we won’t be taking calls or voicemails. Binman will still be dipping into this thread to select a few questions to answer, while also combining the long-form Stats Files podcast with the Demonland Podcast for these shows. Your questions and comments are a huge part of what makes the podcast work, so please post anything you’d like to ask or say below and we’ll do our best to give you a shout-out on the show. Please try to keep each post focused on one specific topic or player to make podcast preparation a little easier. If you have multiple topics you’d like to raise, please put them in separate posts.
