Demon Jack

Jones starting forward tonight.

On the bright side, congratulations on OMac for joining the exclusive 589th kick, first goal club.

Although Fritsch was serviceable in defense, I get the feeling he could've had a seriously special year had he been playing in the forward line for the full season. He's very much capable of booting 45+ goals over a year. Hopefully his last month is a taste of what's to come in 2020.

The end of this season honestly can't come quickly enough. What an unmitigated disaster of a year. Maxy, I hope you enjoy your second B&F trophy. You've bloody earned it.

Gonna be tough to make the 16 now...

Such a person exists?

Sadly agree. I used to enjoy the occasional episode of the Inside Melbourne podcast but quickly lost interest since Viney became a co-host. I love the guy, but he's far from our most competent media performer.

35 touches as a ruck defies any sense of logic, not to mention completely obliterating his ruck rival in Grundy. Leading the B&F by a deadset mile. Should go close to a third AA selection as well.

Flying the red and blue flag all the way from London! Go Dees!

I'm sorry, but its absolutely mind boggling that both J.Smith and Vanders were both listed as 4-6 week injuries pre round 1 which is still their estimated return timeframe 10 rounds into the season. Its especially frustrating for J.Smith who looked set to lock down a spot in the 22 yet was kept on the ground despite the fact he was clearly labouring during the Lions game.

Can't believe our medical team deemed Goody fit for this weeks press conference. #SackMisson

Kudos to Marty Hore. A first AFL goal none of us will forget anytime soon.

The game plan is not working. Heck, nothing is! If nothing changes, teams will only continue to shut us down more easily as the weeks progress. Plan B? C? K? Do we have any backup plans?

Hore looking the goods again so far.

Deserves to hold his spot regardless of Jetta's fitness. Was very impressive tonight. Hard to believe some were calling for his head after his previous and only game of AFL footy. Albiet VFL, he's a two time B&F winner, so he can clearly play and will only improve the longer he's in the team

Amazing how a defensive 50 without Jetta, May, Lever and Lewis stood up the way they did. Fritsch and Hore, take a bow.

100 point drubbing potentially on the cards here... Some notable Demons chuckling to themsleves while watching on he sideline. Not a great look ?

Chandler (a first gamer) just became the first player for us today to actually lower his eyes and hit a target inside forward 50.

What's the VFL equivalent of a Kingsley? @Supermercado

Chandler kicks our first. Has looked lively early.

Anyone know what number Lockhart will be wearing tonight? Don't recall the club giving him one yet.

Sadly, I wholeheartedly agree. There are Demon fan pages and sites (like our very own Demonland) that pump out more engaging and fresh content than the MFC site at the moment. I thought the club was quite good at this a few years ago. Ironic how the drop off in content has coincided with our improved on field performance. While on that topic, a big thanks to the folks here who write up match previews and summaries, record podcasts, write up training reports, start threads etc. It means a lot for fans like myself who aren't getting their fill from the official site. The club has incredible access to players and coaches, yet I'm amazed that I feel more compelled to visit fan sites for my weekly Demons fix.
