in Melbourne Demons

You'd think Bradshaw had played 200 games, so calm and collected.

Very impressive. Good day to be a Melbourne supporter.

Brayshaw already has 4 tackles, 2 frees - in which Jones played on from.

This kid is very good. Safe to say we've landed one off the bat.

Have you not seen Viney smashing Ablett every time Ablett gets the ball

Yes its been brilliant

We finally have a tough team, Aaron Vandenberg has laid some big hits!

That goal from Garlett..... all i can say is thanks Mick malthouse


Garland playing his best game since 2013. Brayshaw and Vanders look they've both played 100 games. Positives everywhere at the moment. Need to keep this up.

Loving all the new recruits - very impressed so far. Keep it going Dees!
 

Please keep it all coming.

Hanging on to every word in SAIGON. Bars that showed Tigers apparently don't subscribe to second string Foxtel network we are on.

Afl site crashed - no scores and Demonogy feed not working.

No comaints from me if we're in front - but please keep up the live commentary and scores.

Our biggest weakness over pre-season has been consistency of effort from one quarter to the next. This one is far from in the bank. First goal of the second half would be huge.


The transition is a lot better this time around. We just need our forward line to gel so we can convert some of those chances.

Jamar and Garland back to their best.

Most fun I've had watching a half of footy in a long time, almost don't wanna post this because I'll jinx the rest of the game.

Garlett should spend a lot more time in the middle as the year goes on.

Brayshaw having an excellent impact on debut, should be a thread about it...

Lumumba on the wing is excellent.

I'm not worried about Viney on Ablett, no one will do any better and Viney is more likely to hurt him than anyone else.

We look classy off half back for the first time in a long time. No Grimes holding it up for 15 seconds then chipping sideways.

What I'm most happy about is we're going hard as [censored], and putting a score on the board.

Come on Dees keep it going!

This is where we learn if we are a a changed Melbourne.

If we can keep the lead and extend it, put the foot down and lay some big tackles.


At what point is the coach held accountable??

Give him a break. It's Rocket's first game in charge.

That was a great quarter no only did we absorb there run we scored in red time now we need to bury them I jus don't want a close win I want to smash them

Col Garland looks sensational. McDonald doing well with the odd disposal hiccup!


Loving TMac's game. He's plucking everything. One bad kick but the rest have been solid.

Jamar and Garland back to their best.

Both have been very handy. Pity Russian didn't snag that last shot on goal but he's been massive in the contest.

 

Whats impressed me the most is the crowd

Full of energy very vocal and really getting behind the team love it

One thing I've noticed this game is that our tackling technique is miles better than I can remember it being before. It used to be that only Jones, Jetta and Viney could really tackle with the correct technique. Now I feel like everyone can do it (with a few exceptions of course—it's still a work in progress).

  • 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.
