    i thought jmac was a bit of a negative, so many cheap free kicks, resulting in goals, turnovers in the back 50 and not enough defensive pressure

    Positive: NO INJURIES

    Bingo...

    And gOLLy... Jones was listed as our best player in all reports I have seen. He's hard at it and I suspect he lived up to that this weekend.

    Spencer as a positive??? He must have had 2 of the best touches ever seen!

    Oh and careful what you say about Steffi Martin, mate!! He's my hopeful SuperCoach pickup of the year!! :)

    Positives: Jetta, Maric, Tapscott's right foot, Howe's hanger and Petterd.

    Negatives: No one in the forward line too often, Bate, Watts not going hard enough, lack of quality second ruck options (Martin is ahead of Spencer), inability to tackle and too much hand passing to stationary players.

    They were very soft free kicks. Ump should have just kicked for them. Had real mongrel and had a dip against his old side. His hit on Black (i think) was a ripper.

    While Spence was on the ground didn't see him lose one ruck contest. His effort backing back into the pack front on was a real sight to behold. Pure guts for a praccy match.

    Yes tackleing was a negative and too flat footedness <-----new word ?

    It was a great Sunny day to catchup with freinds, and have a good discussion on footy, & some fun...

    It didn't rain, and we got through pretty well without losing any Key personnel. Frawley will be back soon enough, and we look pretty healthy.

    Some of our boys that have had limited preseasons, got a run around. Good to see Gysberts on the park. Good to see Tappy showing some goood stuff.

    And how good is it to see both, Nifty Nev Jetta, and Maric Magic, in career best form.

    Rememeber this time last year: Jurrah out for 16 weeks?

    Count our blessings - we had a seconds team in. Those not in didn't need to show anything to the coach IMO

    Positives:

    Not much can be gained from Saturday, if much at all.

    The Hawks game will be a pointer towards having further concerns.

    Just cannot judge from Saturday.

    Geelong lost to Port by nearly 15 goals....what does that mean? Probably the same as the tripe at Royal Pde that was dished up, nothing much.

    We play Lions in Round 3 - only 6 weeks away and if the same eventuates, PANIC!

    Had literally half a side in so I won't be taking anything from this game.

    He was rubbish, he butchered it almost every time he got it in his hands

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Essendon

      It’s Pink Lady night at Princes Park — a vibey Friday evening setting for a high-stakes clash between second-placed Melbourne and eleventh-placed Essendon. The wind-sheltered IKON Park, a favourite ground of the Demon players, promises flair, fire and a touch of pink. Melbourne has never lost a home-and-away game here, though the ghosts of two straight-sets finals exits in 2023 still linger.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 1 Steven May 

      The premiership defender has shown signs of wear and tear due to age, and his 2025 season was inconsistent, ending poorly with a suspension and a noticeable decline in performance. The Demons are eager to integrate younger players onto their list and have indicated that they may not be able to guarantee him senior games next season, in what would be the final year of his contract.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 2 Jacob van Rooyen

      The young key tall failed to make progress during the season, with a decline in his goal kicking output. His secondary role as a backup ruckman, which may have hindered his ability to further develop his game, and he was also impacted by the team's poor forward connection. It will be interesting to observe his performance under a new coaching regime.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem   

      Salem proved to be a valuable contributor as a reliable and solid one-on-one medium-sized defender in what was undoubtedly his most impressive season since the premiership year. He remains a highly capable rebounding option for the Demons as he approaches his 200th game at the club.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

      Following an injury-interrupted start to the season, McVee struggled to maintain the standard he established in 2025 as he pursued an expanded role within the team structure. He remained a firm fan favourite and the club had hoped to negotiate a new contract with the former rookie selection from Western Australia, whose partner, Lily Johnson, plays for Melbourne's AFLW side. Those hopes were dashed when he expressed his desire to return to his home state and play for Fremantle. Like all players who have worn the red and blue and are leaving this year, we wish him well in the future.
