I was very dissapointed by the poor kicking displayed by Morton and Grimes. What are we going to do here?

You don't have to be Einstein to see that Morton and Grimes played well on the weekend.

    Sellar is interesting, I thought he was doing his job bringing the ball to the ground, he could have taken a few marks with a bit of luck last night, and if the ball was dry probably would have. I believe that with a few more games and a bit more confidence he will be ok, remember he was given the boot by Adelaide and that would have dented his confidence.

    We turned the corner last night.

    You may be right Robbie .Now which way are we going?

    I think the right way; it appeared that the players played for each other (and the coach) the other night, there was plenty of encouragement and they genuinely seemed like they wanted to win, no they actually really wanted to win.

    I think Clint Bartram summed it up the other day in his Age interview, he no longer wants to just get a game every week and play AFL football, he wants success and I think he was talking on behalf of a lot of the other players. That is one of the most significant things i have heard a Melbourne player say for many, many years.

    For those of you asking after the game Neeld sceamed 'Tell them to get Moloney off NOW' on Saturday night.

    They just showed it on AFL360. It was Beamer for sure.

    Yep, you're right. What had Beamer done?

    Took a snap at goal and missed, instead of handpassing over the top to Dunn in the goal square... (I think)

    • PREVIEW: North Melbourne

      Can you believe it? After a long period of years over which Melbourne has dominated in matches against North Melbourne, the Demons are looking down the barrel at two defeats at the hands of the Kangaroos in the same season. And if that eventuates, it will come hot on the heels of an identical result against the Gold Coast Suns. How have the might fallen? There is a slight difference in that North Melbourne are not yet in the same place as Gold Coast. Like Melbourne, they are currently situated in the lower half of the ladder and though they did achieve a significant upset when the teams met earlier in the season, their subsequent form has been equally unimpressive and inconsistent.

    • REPORT: Adelaide

      The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.

    • CASEY: Coburg

      The Casey Demons returned to their home ground which was once a graveyard for opposing teams but they managed to gift the four points on offer to Coburg with yet another of their trademark displays of inaccuracy in front of goals and some undisciplined football that earned the displeasure of the umpires late in the game. The home team was welcomed by a small crowd at Casey Fields and looked right at home as it dominated the first three quarters and led for all bar the last five minutes of the game. In the end, they came away with nothing, despite winning everywhere but on the scoreboard and the free kick count.

    • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.
