    CHANGES: Rd 06 vs Richmond

    in Melbourne Demons

    Posted

    When Tom Mac leads up and marks on the wing and spins around, he has had nobody to kick to but an apprentice Luke Jackson and a mid sized Fritsch.

    Imagine now Tom Mac marking up the ground spinning around and having two big forward targets to look for in Ben Brown and Sam Weideman, with Fritsch and LJ more freed up to cause mayhem.

    All of them will fit in the team and if it clicks it could be unstoppable.

    The last time Melbourne were 6-0

    -   Robert Menzies was prime Minister
    -    Henry Bolte was premier of Victoria
    -   The still unsolved Wanda Beach murders occur
    -   The  Royal Australian Mint opened in Canberra by Prince Philip
    -   Margaret Court wins the Australian women's tennis singles title for the sixth consecutive year
    -  The Seekers single I'll Never Find Another You reaches No. 1 in the UK charts. It becomes the first recording by an Australian act to sell more than 1 million copies
    -   Australian sends troops to South Vietnam, officially entering the Vietnam War
    - @old dee celebrated his 56th birthday

     

    The year was 1965.

     The club will be selling it all week - to the fans to come along to the 'G, and to the players as motivation. It will be milked till the last drop!

    Can't wait till Saturday it's going to be a huge game!

    I hope Jack Watts doesn't read this he will have flashbacks.

    The Tom McDonald dilemma

    LUKE JACKSON WILL NOT BE DROPPED UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES.  NOT ONLY IS HE PLAYING AMAZING FOOTY AND CAN LITERALLY DO EVERYTHING DESPITE BEING A TEENAGER,   HE IS FREEING MAX GAWN UP TO PLAY DEVASTATING FOOTBALL.  IN CASE YOU HADN'T NOTICED GAWN IS THE BEST PLAYER IN THE COUNTRY BY A MILE AND HAS GONE TO ANOTHER LEVEL AND A LOT OF THAT IS DUE TO LJ

    IF WE DROP LJ WHO PLAYS RELIEF RUCK?  SOME FORWARD WHO CANT RUCK TO SAVE HIMSELF AND WE HAVE TO MOVE GAWN STRAIGHT BACK IN WHEN WE ARE GETTING SMASHED IN THE MIDDLE?

    WAKE UP!

    Nathan Jones 300 Games

    in Melbourne Demons

    Posted

    A legend of the club.  The [censored] this guy had to play through would break a lot of people. Who could have blamed him if he had left the club in those dark days? He would have had many opportunities too.  The guy was doing it all for us on the field with very little support and fought like a warrior every week taking a beating as our #1 midfielder, a position he should not have been in .

    And here he is still kicking, playing in a 5-0 team now, about to play his 300th under the MCG lights in a Saturday night blockbuster and will be a one club player.    Legend.

    Waited for the last quarter with frustration and trepidation. From what I observed at the ground, Melbourne had been playing better than Hawthorn, but just couldn't score! Trepidation because I worried the mental doubts would creep into the players' minds like so many times before and Hawthorn would pounce. 

    After Mitch Brown's second goal I got an SMS from a mad Demons supporter - "It's effing happening!!" 

    Yes my friend, it was. Last week it rained. This week it was raining goals. Sitting behind the Melbourne Cheer Squad is the best place to be when the ball comes sailing through the middle of the posts. The roar, the joy, the chants. The love. Someone behind us was yelling out "I love you Trent!" " I love you Hibbo!" "I love you Kozzie!" Love all around. Children were smiling and jumping up and down. They have probably never seen so many goals in a quarter. They were so excited. 

    Max is a giant among men. When he was resting in the goal square the Cheer Squad members were bowing in his presence. We cheered his every move. Give us a wink Max! We all love you!

    The whole quarter went by in a blur. Everyone played like a champion. I shall have to watch the replay to convince myself what I witnessed was real. It was magnificent.

    He been a terriffic player for the MFC for many a year and have been the Red and Blue Blood that defines character. Getting to the end of a career is always hard but , his contributions, character, skill, guts and determination have been second to none. There is no easy way to say this but, the club must come first, we have a huge challenge next week vs Richmond. The need for pace will be paramount. I feel that, in view of matchups and balance it may be best for the club to hold back his 300th milestone! If he play heartiest congratulations but I would not play him next week. Too  much at stake and decisions like this can define a club. GO DEES.

     

    You are 100% right.  He was a ghost today.  Richmond will eat us alive if we are carrying passengers.

    He has all season to play his 300th.

    Well Goodwin has confirmed that Jones will play.    Just hope he plays well and we win.

    Cant help but think how Bedford would go in a big game on the G, he was sensational today for Casey but I guess he will have to bide his time.

    Is Gawn the best player we have ever had?

    Brilliant on the weekend. 4 time All Australian. I can't think of anyone better even Flower and Barassi PS: I rarely saw Flower and I never saw Barassi

    This post might age very very well.  Barring injury hes a lock for his 5th AA quernsey, and the only reason it wont be six in a row is because he missed half of 2017.

    Gawn is something else.

    5. Trent Rivers is not getting enough attention

    There's plenty of love out there for Kysaiah Pickett, and fair enough given the Melbourne goalsneak's freakish abilities. And everyone knows how highly rated Luke Jackson is, with the key forward/ruck earmarked for great things for many years at the Demons. But the Dees have another young gun who is flying under the radar in their 5-0 start to the season: Trent Rivers. The West Australian talent had another excellent outing on Sunday in Melbourne's 50-point win over Hawthorn, with 21 disposals and an assured display. The Dees already can count on him to deliver under pressure and, in his just his second season at AFL level, Rivers has largely done it without much fanfare. That should be about to change. - Callum Twomey

    Welcome back Hibbo

     

    Hibberd lays claim on spot
    Former Bomber Michael Hibberd has been made to earn his place back in the Demons' defence and was brought into the side for his first appearance of the season. The 31-year-old made a seamless return, gathering 21 disposals in a polished display out of the back line. The tough and physical left-footer also had a moment of brilliance in the third term, when his effort to smother and stop a goal deep in defence helped set up a Melbourne goal at the other end of the ground.
