This week’s match preview - the people speak
Whispering_Jack replied to Demonland's topic in Melbourne Demons
Good start … and the clubhouse leader. Where are all of our expert commentators? -
Injury Report | Defender Set for Return Check out Melbourne's latest injury report ahead of Round 5. Looking forward to Daniel Turner’s return.

It’s interesting that after five matches, a number of our supposed best 23 have hardly graced the field of play or not appeared at all. In addition, there are a few who have played in circumstances where they aren’t close to full fitness (eg May - ribs, Oliver - hand). And one or two of the younger brigade are getting closer to selection. Which means that there’s still a lot of improvement left in the coming months.

Melbourne established its credentials as a top four contender with a thrilling come-from-behind one point win over the highly Brisbane Lions at the MCG. Max Gawn, Christian Petracca and Jack Viney starred. MELBOURNE 6.2.38 8.3.51 12.4.76 16.9.105 BRISBANE LIONS 3.3.21 8.4.52 15.7.97 16.8.104 THE TEAMS MELBOURNE B J. McVee H. Petty J. Lever HB J.

The vision I’ve seen of the controversial mark paid to Carlton’s Matthew Cottrell suggests that Fremantle was robbed yesterday. Why didn’t something like this happen last year when we were deathriding them?

It’s been a tough start for the Casey Demons in their 2024 VFLW campaign. They improved last week after an opening round thrashing but today it was a W.

VFL representative team vs SANFL
Whispering_Jack replied to KC from Casey's topic in Melbourne Demons
SANFL’s bigger forwards took control in that quarter to take a handy 17-point lead into the final break. SA 8.4.52 to Vic’s 5.5.35. -

How much did I win?

VFL representative team vs SANFL
Whispering_Jack replied to KC from Casey's topic in Melbourne Demons
Half Time: VFL 5.4.34 just in front of SANFL 5.2.32 in an entertaining game. -
VFL representative team vs SANFL
Whispering_Jack replied to KC from Casey's topic in Melbourne Demons
Quarter Time VFL is leading 3.2.20 to SANFL 1.1.7. Hustwaite (#26) and White (#27) have been getting some good touches. -
I watched the Port Adelaide vs Essendon game last night as a neutral, but also as someone who has a bit of a dislike for both sides. I did however, enjoy seeing Port tip Essendon completely over the edge because the Bombers have been unashamedly promoted in the Herald Sun throughout the preseason and into the first few weeks of the season proper. No coincidence that Mark Robinson, the paper’s chief football writer, is an Essendon fan. I wonder if we are now going to see a change of direction at the HUN and for someone among their team of journos to start questioning the culture of the club at the hanger?

Much appreciated but I was thinking of the advertisement that they’ve been playing constantly during breaks in the footy where a woman boasts about having been part of an iconic girl band but nobody recognizes her. It’s very off putting and makes me very happy that next week, I can actually enjoy the game in person and not have to watch it on television because, thanks to the AFL, my team has played three of the first five games of the season in another state, including twice within five days. There should be a law against this.

After last night’s big game in Adelaide there could be no better vision from the vault than Andrew Leoncelli’s match winner against the Crows ~

Given that the club has at least one and possibly two list vacancies, I would go for needs. One of our needs is definitely in the ruck and if Kyah Farris-White hasn’t shown enough by the time of the draft, it might be worth a look at Geelong Falcons ruckman Joe Pike.

The impact was so negligible that it is most likely that Kozzy will get a fine.

Despite our game vs Adelaide being telecast on both the Seven Network and Fox Footy Channel, both neglected to bring us Goody’s Post Match Presser. So here it is for your enjoyment, entertainment and edification. RD 4 | Media Conference | Simon Goodwin

There’s one thing about winning a game when you also finish with a free kick count of 21 to 9 against you. You can be really magnanimous about beating a team that has four maggots playing for them on top of 23 of their own, knowing they robbed us but we still won.

Mystery of the night for me. Who is the chick who was in one of the world’s most iconic girl groups but nobody recognizes her? My problem is that I don’t recognize her.

Based on what the commentators were saying earlier, we have the benefit of the wind in the last quarter. Could someone at the ground confirm that this is correct?

The first goal after half time is very important.
