Freeooo dowwnn bellooowww! 🤣

Jake Melksham 100+1 MFC games this week on the banner? Apparently it was his 100th game against St. Kilda. But we all forgot! 😔

Hello all, Just thought it is important to celebrate Christian Salem playing 150 games for the Melbourne Football Club on Saturday night. He really has been a stalwart and excellent player for the Demons. His sublime kicking skills and hardness at the ball being a factor. Congratulations to Christian Salem playing 150 games. Let's hope he plays another 150 more games! Fingers crossed the Demons get a win against the Saints for "Salo"! 🤞

Hopefully Kalani wishes to be a Demon like his Dad. Jeff White was always an exciting player to watch with his huge leaping. It would be a fantastic story if he joined us under the Father-Son Rule. Kalani learning under Max Gawn and Brodie Grundy would also be very appealing. Will be interesting if he ends up growing taller than his Dad too? Anyway, I wish him and his younger brothers all the best with their football journey.

Garry Lyon hit the nail on the head with his analysis. Really spot on with what he identified. I am actually glad that Garry Lyon did it! Hopefully this is addressed during match review this week between the Demons coaching staff and players. I also hope they look to possibly play Bowey or even Salem half forward to assist with our connection into the forward line.

Agreed! Besides Salem, Bowey and Hunter the rest are "hit and miss" as they say. Any players drafted or traded to the Demons must be excellent kicks and decision makers.

We definitely need more classy midfielders that are excellent kicks. Lachie Hunter has helped. But we need more great kicks and great decision makers. Connection into the forward line is still a lingering issue for our team and needs to be resolved. If you cannot hit a leading player "lace out" on the chest with a kick then you probably shouldn't be playing AFL to be brutally honest. Look at the fantastic kicks they have at Collingwood and Port Adelaide? This should be a non-negotiable at the Melbourne Football Club too. Anyway, I have faith in Jason Taylor and the Demons recruiting team.

The Demons desperately need a win against the Saints. Hopefully our rucking dynamic duo of Gawn and Grundy can fire like we did in the Pre-Season game down at Moorabbin against the Saints and they both kick 3 or 4 goals each. No excuses for inaccuracy against St. Kilda at Docklands Stadium either. Get the job done Demons!

It would be nice for another team to take on this ignominious record of 190+ points in an AFL game. Imagine the Eagles losing by 200 points! I reckon any loss by over 150+ points will see Adam Simpson sacked. Eagles supporters won't tolerate another humiliating loss.

I stated a few months ago that I would be patient about this issue of a Home Base for the Melbourne Football Club. However, I am starting to side more with the option of using the Caulfield Race Course as a more plausible option. Mainly because of the frustrating difficulties of trying to get anything done in the MCG precinct due to their being so many stakeholders and lack of land to build on. Eddie Maguire and Collingwood really did a number on us taking Olympic Park. It really should of been claimed by us. But unfortunately you cannot change the past. Anyway, I will continue waiting to the end of this season and then I will start asking questions again. The Melbourne Football Club Board needs to remember that we have not forgotten about this issue and it will continue to be raised until the matter is finally rectified. I will not rest until the Melbourne Football Club has a proper Home Base finally built.

It really is wonderful to have another Woewodin playing at the Demons. I was always a little saddened when Father Shane went to Collingwood. Having his son Taj debut for the Demons definitely makes up for it! It goes to show how important family is and the tradition of the "Father-Son Rule" at Football Clubs. A rule that was invented to allow Ron Barassi junior to play at the Demons many decades ago! It all adds to the rich history and culture of the Melbourne Demons Football Club. Long may it continue! Additionally, it is looking more likely that Jake Melksham will reach 100+ games for the Melbourne Football Club too! Possibly this week or next week?

Pretty good effort by Jake Melksham to kick 4 goals for the Casey Demons. Worth another sneaky chance to play in the senior side? Perhaps he will get to play 100 games for Melbourne after all?

I remember hearing the story about Mark "Jacko" Jackson back in the 1980s kicking 100 balls at goal every training session. Although he probably should of worked on his people skills as well as his goal kicking skills. Still he had an average of 4 goals a game. That's pretty good! Shame Mark "Jacko" Jackson was madder than a cut snake! 🤣 I think an extra hour at training to practice goal kicking is pretty reasonable for our players. Anyway, I have faith in Mark "Choco" Williams fixing our goal kicking woes eventually. Practice makes perfect in the end.

I think the likelihood of getting Harley Reid is becoming more and more unlikely every time Fremantle have a win. I do think that West Coast would be better off trading the coveted number 1# draft pick to recruit more talent. Particularly after their humiliating performance against Sydney over the weekend. Losing by 171 points is horrific! Although I don't have much sympathy for Eagles supporters! Nevertheless, who ever Jason Taylor takes with the Demon's early draft picks they MUST be excellent kicks and decision makers. I do have faith in the Melbourne recruiting team though. For the time being, no point worrying about it until the end of the 2023 season.

Was a disappointing effort in the last quarter against Geelong. Lots of fumbling of the ball. However, I do take into account the wet weather. The fanatical (feral) crowd down in Geelong was certainly a factor too. Although, Geelong kicked a few "easy" goals in the last quarter as well. Would of really liked a win down at the Cattery. But it just goes to show how difficult it is to beat the Cats down there on their own dung heap at Kardinia Park. Hopefully, we bounce back against GWS in Alice Springs this coming week as we desperately need a good win to keep in touch with the top 4 on the AFL ladder.

Hoping that Blake Howes, Bailey Laurie and a few of the other draftees play well for the Casey Demons. The Casey Demons need to bounce back after a disappointing loss to the Collingwood Magpies reserves the other week.

Fingers crossed the Demons win tonight! 🤞 Adam Tomlinson stiff to be dropped. It will be a very hostile crowd down at the Cattery. But let's hope we can get over the line by a few points. GO DEMONS!!! 🔴🔵👹

Was at the game yesterday. Lots of issues need to be rectified. Firstly, we were really missing Clayton Oliver yesterday in the middle. We have definitely become increasingly dependent upon him, which is not a good balance for our midfield. Secondly, our disposal efficiency was terrible. Fumbles, miskicks, turnovers, dropped marks, plus missed tackles! Missing crucial goals didn't help either! Thirdly, our connection into the forward line was horrible as well. Everything just seemed a real struggle for us against Fremantle. They certainly have the wood over us and we were out coached too. It was a bitter pill to swallow. Anyway, a lot of work to do at training for the Demons this week!

The booing was as poor as the game itself. Credit where credit is due.......Luke Jackson played well. I think the umpires actually deserved the booing. They were DISGRACEFUL today! 🤬🤬🤬🤬

Was probably some of the worst umpiring I had seen in a VERY long time! What a shocker!!! As for the Demons.....we were disappointing, fumbly and timid. As Simon Goodwin said in his post match media conference....it was incredibly FRUSTRATING!!! The sooner Clayton Oliver is back the better!

I can be envious of Collingwood for their training facilities. But not most of their horrible and obnoxious supporters! 🤮

If West Coast "win" the wooden spoon this year they may indeed look to trade the number 1# AFL draft pick for a bunch of first round picks. Which Melbourne will have. It could be possible, epecially as the Eagles are well and truly in "rebuilding" mode after getting smashed by the Hawks over the weekend. Furthermore, Harley Reid could end up another "Chris Judd" leaving the Eagles for a Victorian Club eventually. I don't think the Eagles would want that again (unless they get another Flag from it like in 2006). Anyway, I would definitely love for the Demons to fluke a deal to get the number 1# AFL draft pick from the Eagles and snaffle up Harley Reid! Imagine him learning in an elite midfield with Petracca, Oliver and Viney! Sadly, I think it is a bit of a pipe dream. But never say never!

Some interesting opinions by all. The voting shows a resounding NO to booing Luke Jackson too. Which I respect and acknowledge. My apologies for the somewhat mischievous post. But I was legitimate with my curiosity! I guess I will reserve my booing for Mason Cox (who I despise after he basically kicked/kneed poor Max Gawn in the guts last year) when we play Collingwood on King's Birthday for the Big Freeze 9 Fight MND match.

I know people might think I am being provocative with this. But I am very curious to know? Will Melbourne supporters be booing Luke Jackson on Saturday at the MCG? Is it even appropriate to boo at all? We are supposed to be better than Collingwood and Essendon supporters and their vile antics. I have heard some say no that they won't do that. While I have also heard others say yes, that they will boo Luke Jackson. I myself am currently undecided if I will boo Luke Jackson. I am quite torn on the matter. On the one side, Luke Jackson is a Premiership hero who helped turn momentum in our favour to help the Melbourne Demons end their 57 year Premiership drought. Something that ALL Melbourne supporters would be grateful of. However, on the other side you could say he showed disloyalty by leaving the Melbourne Football Club because he wanted to go back Home to be closer to family in Perth. He also was not up front and honest with his decision about leaving the Melbourne Football Club until the end of the season. Forcing the Melbourne Demons to only deal with Fremantle as his preferred option. I have even heard from some one-eyed and fanatical Melbourne supporters go as far as to call Luke Jackson a "traitor" for leaving us and going to the Fremantle Dockers. I personally would not go that far! Luke Jackson contributed far more than Tom "money bags" Scully ever did who left the Demons for GWS around 10 years ago. I had no qualms with booing Tom Scully! Anyway, I am genuinely interested in hearing fellow Melbourne supporters thoughts and opinions about whether or not they will be booing Luke Jackson on Saturday at the MCG?

Pretty unfortunate that Tom Sparrow gets a week. But oh well...🤷🏼‍♂️ Who replaces Tom Sparrow in the team? I reckon James Harmes or maybe Jake Melksham?
