    Billy stretch, huge game 31 disposals at 90.8 disposal efficiency, highest in the team on both fronts. 

    If we take anything out of today's game, it is this!

    Confidence is a beautiful thing...

    Feeling more and more at home each week and really impacting the game at the moment

    Watching Brisbane today was what it must have been like for opposition supporters watching Melbourne over the past few years.

    People may just laugh and scroll on, but THIS is one of the most accurate assessments I have ever seen!

    Kudos to the Bizkit :mellow:

    POST MATCH DISCUSSION - Round 9

    With all the talk going around about how we have a number of players suffering from "illness" the result was pleasing...

    Definitely not the greatest game but a win is a win and it keeps us with a very healthy % 

    Important to knock Port off next weekend and then look to keep building momentum into a tough MCG stretch after that against Hawthorn and a rejuvenated Colling%^&#

    O-Mac will struggle against Dixon and Westhoff

    The following players are well and truly on my list of blokes I would gladly punch in the face, vomit and/or p155 on without a second thought...

    • Jake Stringer (has recently elevated himself to the top of the list)
    • Tyrone Vickery (Unlucky to lose the title recently)
    • Dale Thomas (^&*#head of the highest order)
    • Alex Rance (Obvious and frustration is a poor excuse)
    • Ed Langdon (the name just encourages the urge)
    • Boomer Harvey (retire already would you)
    • Lindsay Thomas (wanchor)
    • Andrew Walker (Just annoys me)
    • Hamish Hartlett (Sniper and all round dish licker)
    • Tom $cully (Cnut)

    My 7 year old has just informed me that i "Should've put Jeremy Howe because he went to Collingwood"

    :cool:

    MATCH PREVIEW AND TEAM SELECTION - Round 9

    in Melbourne Demons

    Posted

    I am not all that upset by the "omission" of Christian Salem this week...

    The kid just seems to be an automatic inclusion whenever fit but so far this season, from an outsider's view, he seems to just be coasting along...

    This may just be a kick in the ring piece to say "You need to earn your spot mate"

    I think we look really good with Bernie taking the kick-ins and I don't believe that Christian has been offering all that much outside of this role... 

    If there was a stat for broken tackles against then, unfortunately, I think Christian would be leading so far this season

    Go back to Casey, work hard for what I think will be more than 1 week, and knock the selection panel's door down to get back in!

    Go Dees!

    Demonland Player of the Year - Round 8

    in Melbourne Demons

    Posted · Edited by KrazyJay

    6 - Viney - Tried his guts out all day and 16 tackles cannot be argued against

    5 - Jetta - Little General in the backline and doesn't shirk any contest 

    4 - Tyson - Was everywhere and is starting to build some real momentum

    3 - Kennedy - Chases, harasses and just generally tries his guts out

    2 - McDonald - Has brain fades each game but imagine the score without him today?

    1 - Watts - Worked his way into it and should teach Hogan how to kick

    Stiff to miss out were... 

    Stretch - Just needs more awareness and should cement a 22 spot

    Petracca - Tried really hard but still adjusting to how quickly the opposition "close in" on you at the highest level

    Gawn - Taps galore but looks like he may need a rest... but without much in reserve will just have to suck it up and keep going!

    Jones - Is that bloody good that even an average game doesn't cut the mustard for votes

    Changes for next week?

    At least the arguments presented here are factual . They also show that when things work we are getting better.

    I can concede your argument rpfc re UP

    This is despite having TMac,Pedersen,Watts,Dunn,Lamumba,Jetta,Tyson,Hogan,Vince,Kennedy,Garlett,Brayshaw, Petracca, Wagner,Harmes,Hunt,Frost,Gawn,Viney,Bugg,etc( All average to fair VFL Players) in the side.and having Oliver ANB,MIchie,Trengrove,Grimes,Garland not in the side. A week ago there were copious arguments for presenting a submission to the AFL for a 30 man side because we had so many good players to pick from. A week seems an eternity in football (even without a Tigers or Magpies crisis

    I am trying to re-read your post to find the sarcasm a person must require to be naming the players in bold as "average to fair VFL players" 

    I have gone ultra conservative and only highlighted the borderline "elite AFL players"

    You sir, are one cooked unit :blink:

    "With the women's design we've also moved the AFL logo, as per the NBL basketball model in America, because no one cares if it's got an AFL logo on it or not. Collingwood people don't say 'thanks for reminding me this is part of the AFL competition'.
