I reckon we just play him in the forward line. He is hard to match up on because of his height he can jump and he is a great mark. Mitch needs help and we need more goals kicked.

Even if its just kicked in high he can at least bring it down to the ground for the small forwards.

Play him one out.

    Easier said than done.

    Opposition teams still do their homework on our players and watch how closely 2 or 3 players block his run at the marking opportunity.

    This has happened to Jack Watts in his first two games - he has been tagged heavily to stop his delivery.

    Play the Role Russell Robinson did well for all those years.

    He was loose man in defense in the second half. A bad decision by neeld.

    Russell who?

    He's a different beast to Robertson anyway. He's a much better runner and works defensively, but he's a poorer shot for goal. I still support the idea of him rotating between midfield and forward to keep the opposition on their toes.

    Agree 'Nasher', and he is a great let out kick for the defence.

    His mark today was one of the best I've seen. It won't be rated that highly because the camera doesn't explain the difficulty, but it was extraordinary.

    Running at pace, the wrong way, he leaps on his opponents shoulders to take the mark. Amazing. He was hopelessly out of position to beat his opponent. I've never seen a mark of this type in 40 years.

    Thankfully it was "right in front of me".

    Agree mate, it was an amazing mark. One of the best I've seen, usually they come from behind and get a ride but he came from in front, turned and jumped on his opponents shoulders without the lift.

    I hate the spare man in defense, it just means the opposition is able to link up with a free man all over the ground and we just keep chasing tail. Always out numbered when we go into attack, a stupid idea, man up, i.e. one of our team on one of the opposition team... and stay will them.

    My guess? He has licence to go where ever. Reckon he went back half to help out. Same as Clark.

    Ed: spelling

    It reminded me of Adem Yze actually. Used to do that all the time in his heyday.

    I was screaming in the second before he took that grab, 'Get back, get back, oh f***, you've f***ed it up - ... wow'.

    Don't agree. With the ball coming into their talls the way it was, it was a way of getting someone with a bit of aerial prowess in to spoil.

    But it's the old story, dammed if you do, dammed if you don't.

    I thought that mark was going to be a front on contact free before he jumped. Couldn't believe my eyes, he made it look so damn easy.

    And he went back and took the kick this time, bonus points.

    I'm thankful for some highlights amongst crap I watch.

    We needed a link up man through the middle of the ground yesterday. When Clarke moved up the ground we had no one to kick to. Howe could of played as a half forward who then kicks to Clarke. Howe is too dangerous to be the spare man and he went missing in defense.

    Look at how long he was looking at the ball and not the man for. His judgement is amazing, as without even looking, he was still able to ride on the shoulders of someone he couldnt see

    • 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.
