If Pedo keeps playing well and kicking the odd goal, i cant see Dawes getting a look at seniors.
 

Toumpas played a good quarter

Yep best quarter in his History! Watts gifted him the goal though!

Fitzy looking good in defense. Watts lovely pass to Toump. 4 quarters needed


Umpiring has been a joke so far. How many time is Roughead gonna make front on contact with Hogan in a contest and Hoges not getting a free

Rohan Bail is yet to have a touch of the ball..

Hurry up Kent and JKH

I think we have the right forward structure height wise, Hogan and Pedersen.

Dawes can play at Casey until he can impose himself.
 

That was the best and worst of Melbourne at the same time.

12 minutes ago I was ready to murder someone.

So true

First half= murder suicide

Second half= Prozac has kicked in

Can't see us winning, just too many players with questionable disposal, the turnovers gift the opposition possession and ultimately, goals. It's like giving the opposition a 3-4 goal start.

On the other hand, we're showing a bit of life and effort, which is great to see. A bit of love for Vandenberg, Toumpas and Spencer.


Yep best quarter in his History! Watts gifted him the goal though!

Watts rewarded Toumpas hard running with a goal.

We need to keep up the pressure and stick a few more tackles, thanks [censored] for VandenBerg.

Dogs hate the pressure.

Toumpas impressive. Showed some nice poise. Spencer an unlikely hero at the end. Has the world been turned upside down? Grimes' last kick would tell me no.

Interesting stat. Pedersen is one of the most accurate shots of goal of current players.

Yep best quarter in his History! Watts gifted him the goal though!

[censored] off mate!

Seriously. Got a goal through gut running.

Like having Watts, Brayshaw, Newton and Vanda out there. Cringe when Grimes, Lumumba and bail have the ball.


Fitz and toump saved one there

That Grimes kick was the laziest kick I have ever seen him do. Looked as if he had no [censored] given and just kicked it out instead of to a melbourne player


I like Garland but his disposal has been atrocious

Ro Bail yet to have a touch.

Frees 9 to 4 in favor of Bulldogs. We will get frees later when the match is over to balance it out.

Happens every game

 

The decisions coming out of the backline have been putrid.

Not being helped by the players presenting up the ground though

  • 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.

  • PREGAME: Rd 18 vs North Melbourne

    After four weeks on the road the Demons make their long awaited return to the MCG next Sunday to play in a classic late season dead rubber against the North Melbourne Kangaroos. Who comes in and who comes out?

  • 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.
